Hey everyone. I made a post a few weeks ago about my duel bot, BobbyBones, a neural network that I've trained from scratch to play the game. I'm reaching a bottleneck on of my training and could really use human duel demos. I have a large collection of pro demos, already, but a wider range of skill levels is actually very helpful here. Ideally with the following

Maps: Aerowalk, Blood Run, Battleforged, Campgrounds, Cure, Furious Heights, Hektik, Lost World, Sinister, Toxicitiy

10 minute 1v1 duels, default settings

Demos from one perspective will work, but if you have both perspectives this would be particularly useful.

I would use your data to train and calibrate my duel bot. You can reach out to me in this thread, by DM, or on our discord https://discord.gg/dH2mfzbMa.

Anything you are willing to contribute would be much appreciated!

Speaks for itself, quits with 1 sec. remaining losing a duel.

Någon mer som inte lyckades få igång en map utan att det kraschar rakt ut till desktop med dom senaste amd gpu drivrutinerna?

Looking to get into the game, wondering if there's anywhere for beginners/intermediates to play similar level ?

So, just an update to my QLMover bot. It is now fully automated and has two cvars that can be set to automatically move you to an assigned team channel when the map begins and put you back in the lobby when the map ends. Anyone who runs a Quake Live server can use this. I will create another video with instructions on how to set this up and a link to the minqlx-plugin itself soon.

A Discord bot and minqlx plugin I created to move players from a default PUB channel, to a red or blue team channel based on which team they're on in game. Added the ability to automatically put players back in the PUB channel when the map ends.

Great bot for PUGs!

I just thought I'd share this tournament I'm running. We currently have between 5-15 spots left depending on how many more people sign up. We currently have 65, so I'm shooting for 14-16 teams of 5 (4v4 with 1 sub). This is a North American tournament, but if you ping under 100 to Chicago servers, you're welcome to signup. The sign-up link is here:

If you have any issues logging into Steam or don't feel comfortable using a Steam login, hit me up in the linked Discord channel and I'll add you manually. We're also running PUGs including planned PUGs on Mondays and Wednesdays. Anyone is welcome to participate in those regardless of whether or not they're in the tournament.

I'm a noob. I'm trying to do the strafe jump course, I can consistently hit the 3rd platform, rarely the 4th. I can see my speed increasing but it's just not enough.

I'm holding W and Space (Auto hop is on.) When I hit the platform, I alternate from A to D, and flick my mouse in the L/R direction corresponding.

Edit: I cleared it like 2 minutes after posting this, although I kind of cheated by starting my jump on the starting platform, so I had bonus speed before the first platform.

Cross posting my new bot to this subreddit. Would love if you guys would take some time to play against him. Your actions are the server are logged (anonymously, if it matters) and used to better calibrate the bot and highlight his weaknesses. I'm still actively training him, track his progress on the git repo or by playing him on the server. If you're interested in helping or want to ask more questions, please consider joining the discord.

Hey everyone!

I've been troubleshooting a strange issue with Troubled Waters (troubledwaters) in Quake Live, and I'm wondering whether anyone else has encountered it.

I'm running a couple of dedicated Quake Live servers, one using Vampiric Clan Arena and another using a custom Vampiric Team Deathmatch factory.

The problem:

Troubled Waters appears to cause Quake Live to completely hang when running certain game modes with bots.

On the dedicated server, players get "Connection Interrupted", CPU usage reaches approximately 100% of its allocation, and the console stops responding. The hosting panel still shows the server as running, but it requires a restart.

I initially suspected my custom VTDM factory, but after extensive testing, that doesn't appear to be the sole cause.

Here's what I've tested:

• Custom Vampiric TDM: Repeated freezes, sometimes immediately after bots join, sometimes during gameplay.
• Vanilla TDM: Also freezes, ruling out the custom factory as a necessary trigger.
• FFA: Initially worked, but eventually froze during gameplay.
• CTF: Ran successfully with 12 bots during testing.
• Vampiric Clan Arena: Completed a full 10-round match and transitioned successfully.
• Local Windows installation: Reproduced the freeze in TDM with bots. Windows explicitly marked Quake Live as "Not Responding".

I've also tried disabling custom movement and physics settings without success.

What's particularly interesting is that this only happens on Troubled Waters so far. My other maps have been running with 12 bots without experiencing the same issue.

I enabled /logfile 2 during local testing, and the console confirms that the map's AAS navigation data initializes successfully:

loaded maps/troubledwaters.aas
found 103 level items
AAS initialized.

There are also two map entity warnings:

func_timer at (1032.00 328.00 -200.00) has random >= wait
func_timer at (-920.00 -888.00 -200.00) has random >= wait

However, I don't know whether these warnings have anything to do with the freezes.

The bots successfully navigate, collect items and fight before the game hangs, and there's no obvious fatal error in the console log.

Has anyone else experienced this on Troubled Waters?

I'm curious whether this could be related to the map's bot navigation, entities, or some other game-mode-specific interaction.

I really like the map and would prefer to keep it in rotation rather than exclude it permanently.

If anyone has encountered this before or knows of a possible workaround, I'd appreciate the insight!

Thanks!

I want to go back to QL, but right now i only have a macbook pro and in general only apple things.

What would it cost me to have a decent gaming experience, i.e. what kind of hardware (pc + screen) is recommendable for a great gaming experience specifically tailored to quake live that doesn’t bankrupt me?

Hi, I wanted to ask which Quake game is the best to play—meaning the one with the best multiplayer gameplay and an active player base. I’m not really enjoying any FPS games lately, but this one looked fun to try out. I’m not sure which one to buy; I was considering Quake Live, Quake 3, or Quake 1. Which one do you recommend (for multiplayer)
