BotShop Quake2 bots
(Mongoose)
Server-side bots run as part of the server, and therefore have no true lag. Server-side bots can cache information to the server or to a client, it must use server's RAM, and can play other (human/bot) clients and bots made for that server. The server-side can manipulate any clients data, at the author's discression. Server-side bots are generally easier to code and test, but it's hard to emulate a real client on some platforms (Quake). One must also make false lag for the bots and try to emulate a client as well as possible to give the other clients a fair game.

In the future this will more have info on bots made with the SABIN base, and the SSL add-on to the normal SABIN base bot. Anyone can customize a bot for themselves via my SABIN Scripting Language, or William's mission language. Note all the bots on this page use code from one or more of the SABIN authors above. =)
