pip install error on: pip install godot-rl[sf]

[visuallization]

Hi there,

First of all thanks for this great rl framework. Really cool work you gus did there.

I am currently experience an issue when trying to run the command pip install godot-rl[sf]. I receive this error:

There seems to be a problem with a path ending with / but I am not sure where the path is coming from. I am working on windows 11.

Cheers, Florentin

Hey mate, unfortunately sf or sample-factory is a linux only thing. So it will never work on windows. Im sorry. I tried WSL and it didnt work. Hence I'll suggest to turn ur direction towards rllib if u have nvidia gpu else sb3. I have been using sb3 and it is quite good. I am trying to improve upon it because edbeeching is a linux user and might not be able to progress further.

Hey Ryash, thank you for the reply! :)

Okay that's good to know, then I am glad that I didn't try too hard yesterday to make it work on Windows. :D I inititally wanted to use stable baselines but I was not sure if it will work out as expected, as the stable baseline commands in the readme are still marked with a TODO (see screenshot).

I tried to make it work with the commands provided for sample factory and changed the trainer to sb3 and it was training for a short while but exited eventually. Also I wasn't able to visuallize the training, that's why I thought it might not work with sb3 yet or needs a different command.

For example, I would expect
gdrl --trainer=sb3 --env=gdrl --env_path=examples/godot_rl_BallChase/bin/BallChase.exe --num_workers=1 --experiment=BallChase --viz --eval --batched_sampling=True to open the game and visuallize the training.

Do I get something wrong?

Just running gdrl and pressing start in the editor works, but I am not sure which rl library it is using (probably sb3 as it is th one I installed?)

[edbeeching]

There is an independent stablebaselines3 example in the examples folder. Let me know if you have any issues.

[ryash072007]

The Default Trainer for training using gdrl is infact sb3. SB3 has less support than the others currently. The only way to use for now is to call the gdrl command without any arguments, then wait till the message about play in the godot editor comes / active on port 11008 comes, after that play the scene in the godot editor. Wait for a few secs and it should work.

[ryash072007]

I'll try to improve SB3 but that will only start at the end of march when Im free. For now though, sb3 is more than enough.

[edbeeching]

I updated the docs with instructions to run the examples with sb3, let me know if you have any issues.

The Default Trainer for training using gdrl is infact sb3. SB3 has less support than the others currently. The only way to use for now is to call the gdrl command without any arguments,

The correct command line is

gdrl.interactive //without arguments

No game binary has been provided, please press PLAY in the Godot editor
