SmartSC2Bot

Building

Requirements

Install StarCraft II and extract the contents of the Ladder 2017 Season 1 map pack into the Maps directory in the install location of StarCraft II. If it doesn't exist, create it. On Windows, by default it is C:\Program Files (x86)\StarCraft II\Maps.

Windows

Download and install Visual Studio 2019 if you need it. Building with Visual Studio 2019 not yet supported.

:: Clone the project
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/zarifmahfuz/SmartSC2Bot.git
$ cd SmartSC2Bot

:: Create build directory.
$ mkdir build
$ cd build

:: Generate VS solution.
$ cmake ../ -G "Visual Studio 16 2019"

The solution file that is generated in the build directory can be opened with Visual Studio. From there, the project can be compiled.

Mac

Note: Try opening the SC2 game client before installing. If the game crashes before opening, you may need to change your Share name:

  • Open System Preferences
  • Click on Sharing
  • In the Computer Name textfield, change the default 'Macbook Pro' to a single word name (the exact name shouldn't matter, as long as its not the default name)
:: Clone the project
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/zarifmahfuz/SmartSC2Bot.git
$ cd SmartSC2Bot

:: Create build directory.
$ mkdir build
$ cd build

:: Generate a Makefile
:: Use 'cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ../' if debug info is needed
$ cmake ../

:: Build
$ make

For both Windows and Mac, an executable Bot should be generated in the build/bin directory.

Running

To run the bot, run build/bin/Bot and pass the command-line arguments that the LadderInterface expects. For example, the following command runs the bot against a Hard-difficulty Zerg computer opponent on Cactus Valley.

$ build/bin/Bot -c -a zerg -d Hard -m CactusValleyLE.SC2Map

This will run StarCraft II from its default installation directory, and look for CactusValleyLE.SC2Map in a subdirectory of it called "Maps".

To see a full list of command-line arguments run the following command.

$ build/bin/Bot --help
