I'm currently building a mini game for which I need the ability for agents to both send chat messages as well as to receive them.

For sending chat message, I noticed the chat field in the Action message. However, I can't figure out how to correctly use it. If I send a request of

action {
  actions {
    chat {
      channel: Broadcast
      message: "Chat Test Message"
    }
  }
}

The response is always an error

action {
  result: Error
}
status: in_game

However, there seems to be no way to get more information about a request error from the API, so I don't know what I'm doing wrong here.

If I send the chat field together with a normal action (for example, to select a rectangle)

action {
  actions {
    action_feature_layer {
      unit_selection_rect {
        selection_screen_coord {
          p0 {
            x: 0
            y: 0
          }
          p1 {
            x: 63
            y: 63
          }
        }
        selection_add: false
      }
    }
    chat {
      channel: Broadcast
      message: "Chat Test Message"
    }
  }
}

the game responds with

action {
  result: Success
}
status: in_game

I can see in-game that the selection action is performed, however, no message is displayed in the chat.

Am I using the API in the wrong way or is chat sending functionality not yet implemented on the client? I'm testing this on Windows, by the way.

Furthermore, regarding the API for receiving chat messages, I have also never observed that the chat field in the ReponseObservations message was set.

As a side note, trying to use DebugChat with a request a la

debug {
  debug {
    chat {
      message: "Debug Chat Test Message"
    }
  }
}

seems to have no effect on the game.

I'm trying to generate the protos from a git submodule in my project - running the following command errors out.

$ protoc -I s2client-proto/s2clientprotocol --rust_out src/protos --proto_path s2client-proto/s2clientprotocol s2client-proto/s2clientprotocol/*.proto
s2clientprotocol/common.proto: File not found.
data.proto: Import "s2clientprotocol/common.proto" was not found or had errors.
data.proto:82:12: "SC2APIProtocol.Race" seems to be defined in "common.proto", which is not imported by "data.proto".  To use it here, please add the necessary import.

I've also tried created a symbolic link and executing this command but get a lot of "file not found" and "is not defined".

$ protoc -I ./s2clientprotocol --rust_out ./src/protos --proto_path ./s2clientprotocol ./s2clientprotocol/sc2api.proto

Any advise would greatly be appreciated.

https://security.googleblog.com/2019/10/no-more-mixed-messages-about-https_3.html "https:// pages can only load secure https:// subresources. " is preventing the 1-click download links, since they use http and Github uses https (if I understand correctly). Updated links to https. Working as intended in my fork.

Current work around is to click the link directly from the webpage source code (hover over link, right-click, select 'inspect' ... click on the link after "href=". Or to right-click the link and select 'copy link address' and post that in browser URL address bar.

It is supposed to select two high templar before morphing archon. But I don't see select action in ActionRaw. Is it possible to morph archon with just raw interface?

Starting off with the given examples, passing in map name never seemed to work.

Observations:

1. There seems to be no public getter to retrieve the map name inside GameSetting of the coordinator.
2. StartGame() and CreateGame() both takes const string& as param. Use empty string as default argument. Will always overwrite the map name with the passed in value.

With these two combined, I'm in a funny scenario. After passing in a map name through command-line argument, I can't read the map name from the coordinator and use it as param for Start/CreateGame().

Any suggestions or further logs I can provide?

Currently when I add a bot to a game, all the names are set to 'foo[xxxx]'. It would be good if I could set the name to a custom value to easier see which agent is controlling which player.

In light of major upcoming changes, I'm curious if there's a way to manage client versions and if yes, how will it affect client <-> API <-> pysc2 communication.

My concern is that otherwise these massive changes essentially void some research efforts (i.e. trained agents will break due to key units missing or behaving differently).

Scenario

Game is created with two participants, a participant (my bot) and an easy computer. My bot joins to the game. Game info, game data and the first observation are requested. Before calling step, my bot sends a chat message gl hf.

I also tried sending the message only after a few frames, or sending it between every step, but the results were same.

Result

Expected: ActionResult.Success Actual: ActionResult.Error

Game itself doesn't display any chat messages send by my bot. Player can still send messages normally by opening the chat, typing in the message and sending it.

Messages

Request:

action {
  actions {
    chat {
      channel: Team
      message: "gl hf"
    }
  }
}

Response:

action {
  result: Error
}
status: in_game

Multiple players means multiple processes, so the only way i know is leave game and re-join the game is through controllers, but it will costs 3-4 seconds, which is too slow for reinforcement learning training. Anybody know how to slove this?

Any suggestions ?

When a worker carries a resource it gets a buff corresponding to what it's carrying:

https://github.com/Blizzard/s2client-proto/blob/5b42959a40a45cca290ce427b5522a35c8a59178/stableid.json#L24352-L24371

However, there is no corresponding buff for rich vespene gas, and workers carrying rich gas don't have any buffs.

I am looking to see if there is a way to tell pysc2 running on an instance of Ubunto 20.04 through windows wsl2 to use the SC2 binary I have on windows to process the replays.
