Introduction

PyPI Image

  • Hok_env is the open environment of the MOBA game: Honor of kings.

  • This repository mainly includes Hok_env SDK, a reinforcement learning training framework and an implementation of ppo algorithm based on the training framework. Hok_env SDK is used to interact with the gamecore of Honor of Kings.

  • This repository also contains the implementation code for the paper:

    Abstract: This paper introduces Honor of Kings Arena, a reinforcement learning (RL) environment based on Honor of Kings, one of the world’s most popular games at present. Compared to other environments studied in most previous work, ours presents new generalization challenges for competitive reinforcement learning. It is a multiagent problem with one agent competing against its opponent; and it requires the generalization ability as it has diverse targets to control and diverse opponents to compete with. We describe the observation, action, and reward specifications for the Honor of Kings domain and provide an open-source Python-based interface for communicating with the game engine. We provide twenty target heroes with a variety of tasks in Honor of Kings Arena and present initial baseline results for RL-based methods with feasible computing resources. Finally, we showcase the generalization challenges imposed by Honor of Kings Arena and possible remedies to the challenges. All of the software, including the environment-class, are publicly available at: https://github.com/tencent-ailab/hok_env. The documentation is available at: https://aiarena.tencent.com/hok/doc/.

Running Requirement

  • python >= 3.6, <= 3.9.

  • Windows 10/11 or Linux wine (to deploy windows gamecore server)

  • Docker (to deploy hok_env on Linux containers)

    • For windows, WSL 2 is required. (Windows Subsystem for Linux Version 2.0)

The gamecore of hok_env runs on the Windows platform, and the package hok_env needs to be deployed in linux platforms to interact with the gamecore.

We also provided a docker image for training on your computer. In a further version, we will release a gamecore server compatible with linux.

To enable cluster training, here is a workaround by running Windows gamecore on Linux: run windows gamecore on linux.

Gamecore Installation

Download the hok gamecore

You need to apply for the license and gamecore on this page: https://aiarena.tencent.com/aiarena/en/open-gamecore

Please put the license.dat under the folder:hok_env_gamecore/gamecore/core_assets and add the path of the folder ai_simulator_remote to the system environment variables.

Test the gamecore

open CMD

 cd gamecore\bin
 set PATH=%PATH%;..\lib\
 .\sgame_simulator_remote_zmq.exe .\sgame_simulator.common.conf

sgame_simulator_remote_zmq.exe requires one parameters: sgame_simulator.common.conf the config file path

You can see the following message:

1v1

Observation and action spaces

Please refer to https://aiarena.tencent.com/hok/doc/quickstart/index.html

Usage

Please refer to hok1v1/unit_test for the basic usage of the hok1v1.

Please refer to aiarena/1v1 for the training code of hok1v1.

Test the gamecore with the demo script in WSL

You can test gamecore with a simple python script in wsl.

Make sure your pc supports wsl2

For the installation and upgrade of wsl2, please refer to the link: https://docs.microsoft.com/zh-cn/windows/wsl/install-manual#step-4---download-the-linux-kernel-update-package`

You need to install python3.6 and some required dependencies in wsl.

Run the test script in wsl2

  1. Start the gamecore server outside wsl2

    cd gamecore
    gamecore-server.exe server --server-address :23432
  2. Install hok_env in python

    ## after git clone this repo 
    cd hok_env/hok_env
    pip install -e .
  3. Run the test script

    cd /hok_env/hok/hok1v1/unit_test
    python test_env.py

If you see the following message, you have successfully established a connection with Hok_env and have completed a game. Congratulations!

Modify 1v1 Game Config

Before running the game Env, you need to create file config.json at the running path.

An example:

{
  "reward_money": "0.006",
  "reward_exp": "0.006" ,
  "reward_hp_point": "2.0",
  "reward_ep_rate": "0.75",
  "reward_kill": "-0.6",
  "reward_dead": "-1.0",
  "reward_tower_hp_point": "5.0",
  "reward_last_hit": "0.5",
  
  "log_level": "4"
}

This config file includes sub-reward factors and log_level of protobuf processing part. The file is only loaded when creating instances of HoK1v1, and any modifications would not be reloaded even if you call HoK1v1.reset.

In most cases, log_level should be set as 4 to avoid useless log information. Only if you meet some error when using our environment, log_level may need a lower value to help us get more information about the error your meet.

3v3

Observation and action spaces

Please refer to hok3v3 for further information.

Usage

Assuming you have started your gamecore server at 127.0.0.1:23432 and your IP running the hok_env is 127.0.0.1.

Here is the basic usage of the hok3v3 environment:

  • Get the environment instance:

    GC_SERVER_ADDR = os.getenv("GAMECORE_SERVER_ADDR", "127.0.0.1:23432")
    AI_SERVER_ADDR = os.getenv("AI_SERVER_ADDR", "127.0.0.1")
    reward_config = RewardConfig.default_reward_config.copy()
    
    env = get_hok3v3(GC_SERVER_ADDR, AI_SERVER_ADDR, reward_config)
  • Reset env and start a new game

    use_common_ai = [True, False]
    camp_config = {
        "mode": "3v3",
        "heroes": [
            [{"hero_id": 190}, {"hero_id": 173}, {"hero_id": 117}],
            [{"hero_id": 141}, {"hero_id": 111}, {"hero_id": 107}],
        ],
    }
    env.reset(use_common_ai, camp_config, eval_mode=True)
  • Game loop and predictions

    gameover = False
    while not gameover:
        for i, is_comon_ai in enumerate(use_common_ai):
            if is_comon_ai:
                continue
    
            continue_process, features, frame_state = env.step_feature(i)
            gameover = frame_state.gameover
            # only predict every 3 frame
            if not continue_process:
                continue
    
            probs = random_predict(features, frame_state)
            ok, results = env.step_action(i, probs, features, frame_state)
            if not ok:
                raise Exception("step action failed")
    
    env.close_game(force=True)

You can get the default reward config by:

reward_config = RewardConfig.default_reward_config.copy()

Here is the reward config example:

reward_config = {
    "whether_use_zero_sum_reward": 1,
    "team_spirit": 0,
    "time_scaling_discount": 1,
    "time_scaling_time": 4500,
    "reward_policy": {
        "hero_0": {
            "hp_rate_sqrt_sqrt": 1,
            "money": 0.001,
            "exp": 0.001,
            "tower": 1,
            "killCnt": 1,
            "deadCnt": -1,
            "assistCnt": 1,
            "total_hurt_to_hero": 0.1,
            "atk_monster": 0.1,
            "win_crystal": 1,
            "atk_crystal": 1,
        },
    },
    "policy_heroes": {
        "hero_0": [169, 112, 174],
    },
}

You can get the hero_id by hero_name via HERO_DICT:

from hok.common.camp import HERO_DICT
print(HERO_DICT)

Please refer to hok3v3/test_env for the full code introduced above.

And you can run the test code by following script:

python3.8 -c "from hok.hok3v3.unit_test.test_env import run_test; run_test()"

You will get the following message if works correctly:

Cluster training

Please consult cluster.md document for instructions on cluster training utilizing the hok_env environment and the integrated rl_framework.

Replay software: ABS Parsing Tool (will be provided along with the gamecore)

Watching the game is a direct way to see the performance of your agent throughout a match. We provide a replay tool to visualize the matches.

This is an official replay software which parses the ABS file generated by the gamecore and outputs the videos in the game UI of Honor of Kings. The ABS file generated by the gamecore could be found under the folder ai_simulator_remote (the gamecore path). You can visualize the matches by putting ABS files under the Replays folder and running ABSTOOL.exe. avatar
