WolfBot is an artificial intelligence bot for the popular multiplayer game
Return to Castle Wolfenstein.
An early first version of the bot has just been released and can be
downloaded from the download section.
The linux version is not yet available but it should be ready in a week or
so.

Seems like i'll have to wait a bit to try it out. Just wondering if it
will
Post by xenobe able to connect to non-local servers as well without being identified
(which might not be such a good thing).
What's the point of it?
Well if your asking what a bot is, its a computer controlled
character for multiplayer games (in this case). If you want to see
what multiplayer RTCW is like without playing against 'real' players
you could start a server and fill it with bots and play against them.
They aren't the smartest things but I guarantee they will kill you
from time to time.
If you're asking what is the point in playing against bots (or with
bots) when you could be playing with real people than I'd say I find
it pretty cool that someone can infuse something with AI. It's
interesting to watch them in action and it's great for making fun of
others with screenshots of them being killed by a gang of bots.
They could also be used to fill up a server that uses a large map and
that isn't much fun too play when there is only 20 real people playing
a 64 player map.
Anyway that's my 2 cents.....
