Broadcast error running partially observable example

[4rChon]

The fully-observable example ran without errors.

I'm running the partially observable example with the following command:

python ppo_gridnet.py \
    --partial-obs \
    --capture-video \
    --seed 1

However I'm encountering the following broadcasting error:

num_planes is correctly initialised with an additional entry for partial observation, giving it a length of 7. However, np.array(ro) obtained from responses.observation returned by self.vec_client.reset(...) has a length of 6. I've logged the shapes of the relevant variables here:

It seems like passing the partial_obs argument to create a new JNIGridnetVecClient removes the unobserved units from the game state but does not add a feature indicating whether a unit is visible or not.

Looking at the GameState.java class, numVectorObservationFeatureMaps is fixed at 6. PartiallyObservableGameState.java does not add a new feature but removes the unseen units for the player.

I might be missing something. Has anyone else managed to run the partially observable example?

Thanks

@sladic has been looking / will be looking into this, he may already be able to point to a (partial) fix or later have an ETA for when it might be ready for merging into the official repo.

Hi, any updates on this?

Hi, sorry for the delay. There is indeed code missing for marking the visibility of the units. I hope the marking and broadcast error fix will be up early next week.
