The old EraserULTRA site is long gone, so I thought the bot was dead; then
Google turned up a result while I was hunting for the Eraser source :)

Thanks for the link. Really cool. The links on this site are still working.

 I was still using an older version of this bot, since 2002. Glad to have an
update now..
I use this bot every day for my lithium training :)

@ LinuxLover: -There are also linux binaries of this bot on the site (even
for macOS; and even for SGI :)

Hmmm... seems there's some issues with Ultra that need fixing. The Load Game
screen keeps coming up every time I die. And the bots' aim is...
unrealistic. <g>

Well, they are bots after all. And they do not pretend to be anything else.
Unlike some of those bots that play online :D

Loading screen EVERY time you die ? Hope not  8(
But some issues are there, yes.

Yeah, it's irritating.

..and to go full circle, I found this thread via google too.

Should anyone still be looking, you can download all the routes that were
previously at the Bot Outpost from any cdrom.com mirror that still has all
the old files from before they dropped PQ. Eg:
ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/pc/games/idgames2/planetquake/outpost/

The ones from Freds Route Depot may be long gone, although my routes
directory contains pretty much all of them (no credits, and unknown which
routes are complete etc) - maybe I'll upload them one day.

FWIW, the issue with the menu coming up after dying is actually a user
error (deathmatch cvar not set correct), although I did produce a build
that doesnt do this even if deathmatch is not set (note that the "paused"
tile will still be displayed when bringing down the console, 'cos the
engine still knows deathmatch is not set correctly).
