Reaperbot Modifications

Archived from groups: alt.games.quake (More info?)

Does anyone know where I can find a modified version of Reaperbot as
described at the bottom of this page:

http://www.inside3d.com/qctut/

I have a Mac, so a lot of these compiling and editing programs are not
available to me, not to mention that most of this stuff is way over my head.

My friend and I play Q1 all the time with the Reaperbot mod, so we'd love to
get these problems corrected.

Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion. I finally discovered that something called
QuakeBot was actually the modified Reaperbot I was looking for, so I have it
now.

I've heard of Omicron and Frogbot, but I haven't tried them yet. Maybe I
will now. Thanks again!
