    git clone https://github.com/caiyangcy/SC2DC.git
   

2. Use pip install:

    pip install SC2MM
   

Maps

• You can find a list of maps here

Alternatively, you can run:

python -m scmm.bin.map_list

View a Map

All the maps can be viewed by StarCraft II Editor

Change a Map

The terrain and functionality of a map can be changed by StarCraft II Editor

Create a Map

Create a map using StarCraft II Editor. After creation, make sure add the map to scmm/env/micro_env/maps/mm_maps.py and also make sure the map is added to the game folder

Create an unit

The most important thing when creating units on a new map is to disable some reactions of them.

To do this (taken from SMAC):

    Open editor, data editor, unit tab

    Right click and click add new unit

    Name the new unit, click suggest right below it

    Leave the "parent:" row alone. That determines what we're making. We want to make a unit

    Select the unit you want to copy (bottom of the new opened window, "copy from" row) e.g. zealot if you're copying zealot

    Set the "Object family:," "Race:," and "Object Type:" as desired. THESE DO NOTHING but make it easier for you to find your new unit once it's made. e.g. you probably want a new zerg unit to be in the zerg section when you go to place it on your map or something.

    Press okay, you're almost done

    Click the plus sign on the data editor tabs, go to edit actor data, actors

    Click the new actors tab

    Right click and click add new actor

    Name it and click suggest like before

    Change the "Actor Type:" row to unit

    Select what you want to copy from (bottom of the new opened window again) e.g. zealot if you're coping a zealot

    Press okay

    Click on your new actor

    At the bottom right of the window where it says "Token" and then "Unit Name," change the unit name to the name of your unit e.g. Zealot RL

    Go back to the Unit tab, find the new unit and modify the following fields:

        (Basic) Stats: Supplies - 0
        Combat: Default Acquire Level - Passive
        Behaviour: Response - No Response
