Bot mod recommendations?
I rather like QuakeLive's bots, but I kind of want to play the original Q3A's singleplayer ladder, with the unaltered level art. Are there any bot mods that work with this? Brainworks looks promising but I can't tell if that's for the campaign or just for the like, instant action/skirmish mode.

I had tried Brainworks once, and I found the bots were WAY too predictable. They predict player movement 100% when shooting, and don't navigate for crap. I could stand in one spot and just strafe a little bit back and forth and cause the bot to miss every rocket while whittling it down with the MG. That was my experience, and it's been a few years so they might have changed them since then. YMMV.

There is a bot mod called the Hopper Bot which is a rather interesting one. It allows the bots to make movements they otherwise couldn't. They'll make very large jumps to simulate a properly-timed rocket jump, but without inflicting self-damage. They also navigate differently from the default bots. You can download the hopper mod here:

Going through the main ladder with Hopper right now. These guys are fun and I am terrible against them. Thanks!

I think the most recent version of Brainworks fixed the issue you mentioned. Unfortunately it also crashes constantly on me so that's unfortunate.
