Impossible to run Star2 in Linux (no map file)

[RickySong]

To run Star2, it requires “Ancient Cistern LIE” as Map file.

I’ve tried to find the file, but I failed.

( I found LastFantasyAIE, Flat64 though)

Very difficult to setup in Linux.

(1) Anyone could success to run Star2 in Linux?
(where did you get the ‘LIE’ file)

(2) “Ancient Cistern LE” map file works in Window?? (do I need to change the env file)

• I spent a few hours trying to run the Star2 simulation on Linux, but I couldn’t get it to work. The biggest issue was that the “Ancient Cistern LIE” file could not be found even in the whole internet.

• So, I reconfigured the ORAK simulation on Windows instead. There was a gRPC-related issue, but it was resolved by modifying game_server_launcher.py as shown below:
  cmd = [
  sys.executable, # fixed
  game_server_script,
  ]
  env = os.environ.copy()

• On Windows, I renamed the “Ancient Cistern LIE” file to “Ancient Cistern LE” and downloaded the file into /Maps/. When running the simulation, I could clearly see the game launch and play screen, which makes prompt debugging much easier.
  On Linux, I was not able to see the StarCraft play screen during execution.

@RickySong Did you try this?

StarCraft Stuck After Episode 1 (‘Client is not connected’ Issue)

We use the Linux headless binary for evaluations, and the steps below should help you get everything set up clearly: Download the last available version (4.10) from GitHub - Blizzard/s2client-proto: StarCraft II Client - protocol definitions used to communicate with StarCraft II.. Check the README for instructions on unzipping the archive. It’s password protected, and the password is provided in the README itself. Extract the game into your $HOME directory. After extraction, the expected path …

The evaluation servers run starcraft on Linux. We can help you with setting it up on linux (headless).

Ancient Cistern LIE is an adapted version of Ancient Cistern LE to make it work with the older linux binaries.

We patched the map following the instructions from GitHub - aiarena/sc2patch

(1)
there is no the map file in the links. Ancient Cistern LIE
Maps - AI Arena Wiki
I’ve downloaded all the file, but there isn’t.
Also, some links are broken in the url.

(2)
GitHub - aiarena/sc2patch

it’s difficult to find the instructions in the link.
Maybe, there is youtube link to apply the patch.
They used SC2 map editor? and updated config file?
it’s quite difficult to understand what they are doing for me.

It would be easy to simply share the map files for this contest for the linux users I believe.

its run primarily on linux, i managed to get it to run a month ago on linux, just need copy every map from aiarena.
But yeah, very vague explanations of how to make it run.

We uploaded the map file we use during evaluations to the resources section.
