A streamlined user interface for RLBot.

RLBotGUI

About

RLBotGUI is a streamlined user interface that helps you run custom Rocket League bots for offline entertainment. It relies on the RLBot project to work its magic: https://github.com/RLBot/RLBot

It works on Windows only and requires Google Chrome to run.

Installation

If you just want to use this GUI, you can go download the installer from https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1LZdTVPQeqO0ZGtelQE3yPyBlvC_pqsGT?usp=sharing

When installing, choose "Install just for me," otherwise it will be necessary to run the program as administrator all the time.

It will put "RLBotGUI" in your Windows start menu.

Dev Environment Setup

Prerequisites

• Python 3.7

Setup

1. In a command prompt, run pip install -r requirements.txt
2. Run python run.py

Deployment to PyPI

For normal changes, e.g. things happening inside the rlbot_gui folder, you should be publishing an update to PyPI. All users will get this change automatically without needing to reinstall!

To deploy:

1. Create a .pypirc file like the one described here: https://github.com/RLBot/RLBot/wiki/Deploying-Changes#first-time-setup
2. Look in setup.py and increment the version number.
3. Run publish-to-pypi-prod.bat

Building the Installer

You can build an installer executable for users to download. You will rarely need to do this, because normal updates should be pushed to users by deploying to PyPI.

You really only need a new installer if you changed something in the pynsist_helpers folder, run.py, or anything else that gets referenced in installer.cfg. AVOID THIS because you don't want to run around bugging users to reinstall.

1. Follow https://pynsist.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html to get NSIS installed.
2. Run pip install pynsist
3. Run pynsist installer.cfg

Find the resulting executable in build\nsis.
