Starcraft AI Bot

commandcenter's Issues

asking for advice

Hello and Happy holidays to everyone.
This is not issue, i would just like to ask you for advice.
I want to use this CommandCenter for deep learning research, and i want to train neural network for commanding squad of units in battle. I would like to ask you if i need to use some framework for this, and if you know about some helpful programs that i could use.
I would also like to ask you for any general or specific advices, you could give me about this.

Marry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Please finish getNextExpansion()

// TODO: fix this so we can actually expand
//return m_bot.Bases().getNextExpansion(Players::Self);

in BuildingManager.cpp

note: i've been banging my head against the wall trying to figure out where a valid location for the next hatchery, etc...

maybe someone else can figure this out so i can go back to combat coding. =] thanks.

Add support for research / upgrades in build-orders

Cmdline parameters

Current bot implementation allows to pass cmdline parameters to sc2api directly:

   if (!coordinator.LoadSettings(argc, argv)) 
    {
        std::cout << "Unable to find or parse settings." << std::endl;
        return 1;
    }

Is it intended? I can pass things like '--help', 'map_path', 'realtime' and so on while the same parameters are duplicated in BotConfig.txt and some are discarded in the code below. Looks confusing.

Probably better solution will be to limit number of parameters delivered to sc2api::Coordinator, e.g. pass only program name:

    sc2::Coordinator coordinator;
    coordinator.LoadSettings(1, argv);

Bot always go scout as game starts

I don't know how to change this option.

Clearly, the BotConfig.txt:
"ScoutCondition" : [ ["Self", "Pylon"], ">", [ 0 ] ],
but probe always go scout as the game starts.

Problems compiling CommandCenter BOT on Linux (ubuntu 17.04, debian 9 and Fedora26).

After running "cmake .", in the compilation process:

.... commandcenter/src/BuildingPlacer.cpp: In member function 'sc2::Point2D BuildingPlacer::getRefineryPosition()': ........./commandcenter/src/BuildingPlacer.cpp:244:33: error: invalid initialization of reference of type 'const sc2::Unit&' from expression of type 'const sc2::Unit* '
if (!Util::IsGeyser(unit))

There are also other problems in BuildingPlacer.cpp with request for member 'pos' in 'unit' pointer.

Thank you very much for your work and sorry for my bad english.

Can't build on OSX Proto is not under sc2api.

Hey guys.

Can I get some help over here please? I really would love to tinker with CommandCenter but I'm unable to build it so far.

I have the sc2 api checked out and built nicely. I added the path to my includes to the FindSC2Api.cmake file like this:

# Find main Api headers.
find_path(SC2Api_INCLUDE_DIR
    NAMES
        "sc2api/sc2_api.h"
        "sc2utils/sc2_manage_process.h"
    PATHS
        "/opt/local/include"
        "/usr/local/include"
        "/usr/include"
        "/Users/user/C++/s2client-api/include"
)

However, I'm getting this:

CMake Error at /usr/local/Cellar/cmake/3.9.1/share/cmake/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:137 (message):
  Could NOT find SC2Api (missing: SC2Api_INCLUDE_DIRS SC2Api_LIBRARIES)

  CMakeLists.txt:11 (find_package)


-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
See also "/Users/user/C++/commandcenter/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".

Having everything setup, I noticed this part:

        "${SC2Api_INCLUDE_DIR}/sc2api/proto"

This isn't there.

I found proto which is a Java thing under here:

find . -name proto
./contrib/protobuf/java/compatibility_tests/v2.5.0/more_protos/src/proto
./contrib/protobuf/java/compatibility_tests/v2.5.0/protos/src/proto
./contrib/protobuf/java/core/src/test/proto
./contrib/protobuf/java/util/src/test/proto

But also could find protobuf like this:

~/C++/s2client-api master*
❯ find . -name protobuf
./.git/modules/contrib/protobuf
./build/contrib/protobuf
./build/contrib/protobuf/cmake/CMakeFiles/Export/lib/cmake/protobuf

./contrib/protobuf/python/google/protobuf

Sooooo.... which one is it? :)

Thanks!!

localtime_s, vsnprintf_s unsupported on g++/clang++

As seen here, *_s is only available if __STDC_LIB_EXT1__ is defined by the implementation and if __STDC_WANT_LIB_EXT1__ is defined to 1 before including ctime. These are unfortunately not available to me on g++/clang++. Is there a solution to this?

Zerg: exclude queens from attack group

Usually queens are not used for attack purposes especially at the early stage of the game because of quite slow move speed. The bot shouldn't count queens when he checks attack conditions neither include queens into attack group.

However some rare strategies exists which uses large number of queens at the battleground. Dunno should it be supported or not.

"corecrt.h" not found?

I was trying my hand at creating AI for the first time. after following the guide for a while, when I was trying to build the solution like the guide was said. instead, it gives me a bunch of error saying

Cannot open include file: 'corecrt.h': No such file or directory(compiling source file ..\src*.cpp)

the asterisk means the name of some files in the project. I'm using the precompiled library, since compiling myself seems bleak. It keeps giving me something about submodules and errors.
Does anyone have a suggestion for what I may have done wrong?

BuildOrder: Terran Orbital Command

Currently one can specify OrbitalCommand as an instruction of OpeningBuildOrder. That leads to fun results:

• The bot reserves 550 minerals for construction (this looks like sc2api bug because it tells exact mineral cost for the building, currently it is Command Center (400) + Morph Orbital Command (150)).
• The building itself is never constructed (probably because the bot don't know how to build expansions or because it can't select a proper placement) however the building itself is added into the building queue and the overall build process is slowed down due to large mineral reserve.

It seems that either request to build Orbital Command should be automagically split into 'Create Command Center + Morph to Orbital) or that the bot should restrict such commands in general.
The latter looks more natural to me. In this case one should explicitly request morphing of command center.

I believe the bot behaves the same for the zerg's buildings.

Zerg: Overlord scouting

Currently CommandCenter uses only workers for scouting tasks. However zergs gameplay is reacher:
a. An overlord could be used to scout the enemies position before (instead?) a worker.
b. When current map contains > 2 players starting points the bot should send an overlord to one direction ( e.g, clockwise) and a worker to another in order to find the enemy faster.

Probably the overlord scouting should be optional and enabled via special flag (as it is a bit risky esoecially against terran) or even used instead of worker scouting (not sure).

Invalid Map Path after first installation.

After following the steps on Windows, when I run the .exe, I get this error:

Launched SC2 (C:\Program Files (x86)\StarCraft II\Versions\Base56787\SC2_x64.exe), PID: 5192
Waiting for connection...
Connected to 127.0.0.1:8167
CreateGame request returned an error code: Invalid Map Path
CreateGame request returned error details: map_path file doesn't exist.
Assertion failed: is_game_created, file c:\projects\s2client-api\src\sc2api\sc2_coordinator.cc, line 511 

In the BotConfig.txt, I have this :

...
"Game Info" :
    {
        "BotRace"                   : "Random",
        "EnemyRace"                 : "Random",
        "MapFile"                   : "InterloperLE.SC2Map",
        "StepSize"                  : 1
    },
... 

I already have this map in C:\Program Files (x86)\StarCraft II\Maps\Ladder2017Season3, should it be elsewhere ?

command center stoped working during initialization of units

Hi, i am trying to make command center work on windows, but when the game starts it trows error.
Could someone help me please?

if I run CommandCenter_d.exe then

Feature Request : match result api

I am developing the starcraft2 ladder platform based on the commandcenter and I find it it hard to get the match result.
Could you please expose the match result api? Thanks.

Add support for building Terran addons

BotConfig example

I have several suggestion regarding the bot's config:

a. BotConfigs has .txt extension by some reason while it is .json. Could it be renamed? The .txt extension confuses IDEs and disables syntax highlight, making it easier to make a mistake.

b. Rename BotConfig.txt into Botconfig.example.txt (or something like it). The motivation: this config is just a general example. As a user of this project I have several different settings, especially regarding map path and have to rebase the settings on each change.
The example should be renamed manually (or during build) into BotConfig.txt while BotConfig.txt must be ignored in .gitignore.
This approach allows to keep local changes outside of git control while still receive the latest updates. Just for convenience.

Uncaught exception, key not found.

Hey, so I'm running the bot. I'm using the BotConfig and all is fine. And then suddenly, BAMM.

libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type std::out_of_range: map::at:  key not found

And that's that. I'm on OSX.

How to get the outcome of a match?

I am developing a StarCraft2 Ladder platform based on the commandcenter, which lets bots play automatically. However, I cannot find the api of getting the match result. How can I get the outcome of a match?
Thanks.

how can use in online mode?

How?

Linux build probably broken

@alkurbatov I changed the json library which may have broken the linux build, would you mind having a look?

Bot doesn't check if a Refinery is on top of Geyser in BuildingPlacer

Seems like the bot can't execute this strategy because he can't build reapers:
"3Rax_Reapers" : { "Race" : "Terran", "OpeningBuildOrder" : ["SCV", "SupplyDepot", "SCV", "SCV", "SCV", "Refinery", "SCV", "Barracks", "SCV", "Refinery", "SCV", "Barracks", "SCV", "Barracks", "SCV", "SupplyDepot", "SCV", "SupplyDepot", "Reaper", "Reaper", "Reaper", "Reaper", "Reaper", "Reaper", "Reaper", "Reaper", "Reaper", "Reaper", "Reaper", "Reaper", "Reaper", "Reaper", "Reaper", "Reaper", "Reaper", "Reaper", "Reaper", "Reaper"] },
And sometimes he builds extra refinery, sometimes not, also not clear why.

A situation about Multiplayer and Addon

Hello! I am a newbie who has just used Github and Commander Center,my bot race is Terran,then i want to use the "CreateParticipant()" to add the custom bot to i fight with my bot,
CreateParticipant(Util::GetRaceFromString(botRaceString), &Player),
CreateParticipant(Util::GetRaceFromString(botRaceString), &bot)
i can open two windows,but the
else if (item.type.getUnitTypeID() == sc2::UNIT_TYPEID::TERRAN_STARPORTREACTOR)
Micro::SmartAddon(producer, sc2::ABILITY_ID::BUILD_REACTOR_STARPORT, m_bot);
is invalid in the game.Do other people have encountered such a problem?

Change game speed

Sometimes it is useful to slow down the game and look at the decisions the bot is making however the game is always really fast.
Probably we should make a configurable gamespeed parameter in BotConfig.txt similar to the original game (i.e. fast, very fast).

Currently I don't know how that should be done in a proper way. The following approach works for me:

    while (coordinator.Update()) {
        // Slow down game speed for better look & feel while making experiments.
        sc2::SleepFor(15);
    }

Probably higher step value will do the same?

Add support for building Zerg / CommandCenter morphed buildings

Can not morph hatchery to lair

Now I try to morph hatchery to lair. But, It dosen't work properly.
I also insert the word "Lair" in "BotConfig.txt"file, the program always skip this build.
I don't know why this program skip morph lair.
Also I already check conditions for morph lair(builting sporning pool, 150 minerals and 100 gas).
How can I made hatchery morph to lair??
Can you give me any hint to solve this problem??

Linker errors after merging latest changes

Hi,

I've been using your project for my undergraduate projects and I am not able to run the bot anymore after merging your latest changes. I am now getting the warning
LNK4098 defaultlib 'LIBCMT' conflicts with use of other libs; use /NODEFAULTLIB:library
followed by 80 linker errors (LNK2001) all related to the new class UnitType.
And when I try to add this flag, I get over 3000 errors.
The runtime library setting in Project Properties -> C/C++ -> Code Generation -> Runtime Library is set to Multi-threaded Debug (/MTd) for my debug settings (Debug|x64). I tried the other values with no success.

Do you have an idea of what I need to do?

Thank you,
Raphaël Royer-Rivard

sc2::Unit::tag truncation

In "UnitData.cpp" you are casting "sc2::Unit::tag" to an int when you operate with it. This value is a 64-bit integer, and we DO use the bits in the upper word. By truncating it to a 32-bit integer you may be introducing tag collisions.

I suggest you use the same 64-bit integer type the api library does:
typedef uint64_t Tag;

Bug with CatalystLE: unable to find all base locations

The bot is only able to find 12 of the 14 base locations on CatalystLE. Due to this error, it is unable to find its start location. Its start location is thus null and the bot chrashes later.
edit: i got similar issues on other new maps of ladder 2018 Season 1

Actually I don't know what was original intention thus not sure which fix should be applied.

First, by some reason the compiler fails to find localtime_s. I used localtime_r which is multythread version but I don't think that this fix is correct.
Second, vsnprintf_s is Windows specific. The code contains both versions. Is it forgotten code or there is something behind?

Investigate slow-downs in BuildingPlacer

ubuntu build fail

I tried to build commandcenter in ubuntu16.04 following the steps provided in the readme, However, after I run the make command, countless errors occurred:
Here I list one of them:
/opt/local/lib/sc2api/libsc2protocol.a(data.pb.cc.o):(.rodata._ZTVN14SC2APIProtocol11AbilityDataE[_ZTVN14SC2APIProtocol11AbilityDataE]+0xb0): undefined reference to `google::protobuf::Message::SpaceUsed() const'

How can I solve that? Should I install the specific version of protobuf and rebuild the sc2api?
My cmake version:3.5.1
My g++ version: 5.4.0
My operation system (ubuntu) is newly installed.

Building on linux

I'm trying to build on Ubuntu 16.04, but the cmake file for finding the api is proving to be a challenge. Because the api doesn't provide a cmake install target (at this rate I'm considering making a PR for one), I'm trying to trick your file into thinking the api is accessible. So far I managed to get the libraries to be found with

sudo mkdir -p /opt/local/lib
sudo ln -s ~/s2client-api/build/bin/ /opt/local/lib/sc2api

but the includes fail to be found using the same method. Reading through the cmake file it seems like you expect the sc2api and sc2utils directories to be found in one of

"/opt/local/include"
"/usr/local/include"
"/usr/include

(plus any directories cmake has defaulted in). And yet I still get failures for finding the first set of includes after doing

sudo mkdir -p /opt/local/include
for i in ~/s2client-api/include/; do sudo ln -s $i $(basename $i); done

I realized that I'll further need to add the protobuf includes since they're generated and build into the build directory, but I can't even get past the first find_path. Do you have any ideas?

Add support for build-order deadlock detection

Check next item in build order, if it needs a prereq, add it to top of BO. If it needs supply, add supply to top of BO. This should make all builds possible.

Wrong resource location calculation

This pull request is similar in nature to this one:
#60

The problem is that the calculated resource locations are a bit off, so it causes problems with expansion (i.e. it can't build new geysers).

The calculations for starting player bases seem to be correct however.
A picture paints a thousand words.

How do I play against my own AI ?

This is not exactly an issue. I'm finally midway finishing my AI. By somehow follow UAlbertaBot wiki as suggested on the bottom page.
And I want to test it, not against SC2 Computer / BOT. but, against a player (Non-AI) or at least I can test the AI my self.
So, is there any documentation on what to do? or something to change on the code side.
if there is one already and I'm somehow missing it, I'm sorry.

And Thank you in advance.

new 4.0 s2client-proto and commandcenter.

https://github.com/Blizzard/s2client-proto/releases

is it compatible with new 4.0 api?

Question: Set the "Working Directory" option properly in VS2017

In your Compile Instructions, you wrote "Click "Local Windows Debugger" in VS to launch the program from within VS. To do this, you need to set the "Working Directory" option under "Debugging" to "$(ProjectDir)/../bin/" (I don't know why this option won't save)". Is it because your /vs/CommandCenter.vcxproj.user was not pushed due to the .gitignore ? Can a simple git add CommandCenter.vcxproj.user -f will solve this issue ?

support of machine learning library

because it is much more efficient to use other language(ie. python) to write some machine learning code on top of some library(ie. tensorflow), but the official AIIDE tournament machine seems do not support such python library.
so I has several questions:

1. do you have plan to do such things in future?
2. is the submitted AI folder has space limitation? for example, can i put a pre-config python version in the AI folder which may occupy about 30m.
3. other recommended alternative?

Thanks

Add build order deadlock prevention

Config file not found?

Config file could not be found, and is required for starting the bot
Please read the instructions and try again
logout
Saving session...
...copying shared history...
...saving history...truncating history files...
...completed.

[Process completed]

This is the result of running the CommandCenter executable. The BotConfig.txt is located in the bin folder with the executable. The only change I made to it was the map to be played on. I believe I've followed all the instructions for the Mac install. I had to edit a file in the the s2client-api code, comment out line 17867 in civetweb.c, to stop warnings from being treated as errors. The only part I wasn't sure about was downloading the maps from https://github.com/Blizzard/s2client-proto#downloads. I downloaded one map pack and extracted the map files in to a folder that I created in my starcraft2 application called maps. I had to create maps folder because there wasn't a folder with that name already.

Does anyone have a suggestion for what I may have done wrong?

Error on Linux during make

I am trying to run command center on Linux but it trows me an error during make.

when i do steps :
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/Blizzard/s2client-api && cd s2client-api
$ git checkout dd10176ab94cc078a2116ec790b63f0a93ac5527 .
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake ../
$ make

then it will throw me error

python port

Hello, David!

I'm curious about your thoughts on https://github.com/deepmind/pysc2 and an option to align commandcenter-based AI and the pysc2 training agents, for some interop maybe?
My interest in this question arises from the fact that I'd love to use awesome primitives you built in the commandcenter, but at the same time, I'd love to have the flexibility to plug in all the RL training stuff that deepmind team provided. Also doing it casually in Python would be somewhat easier than in c++ for me and possibly some other sc2 enthusiasts.
