AutoLeague2

AutoLeague2 is a tool for running competitive leagues with custom Rocket League bots using the RLBot framework. Microsoft's TrueSkill ranking system is used to rate the bots. AutoLeague automates the process of selecting fair teams, starting matches, and rating the bots. It also ensures, that every bot gets to play regularly.

AutoLeague2 is a continuation of RLBot's AutoLeaguePlay and is used for East's League Play.

How to use

• Install RLBotGUI.

• Run create-gui-venv.bat. This creates a Python virtual environment based on RLBotGUI and installs the required packages.

• Run open-gui-venv.bat. This opens the virtual environment and takes you to the autoleague directory.

• Run autoleague.py setup league <path/to/my/league/> to create a league in the given directory.

• Add some bots to path/to/my/league/bots/.

• Check if autoleague2 can find the bots with autoleague.py bot list.

• Test if a bot works with autoleague.py bot test <bot_id>.

• Run autoleague.py match run to run a match.

• Any unfinished matches (test or not) can be terminated without risk using ctrl+C.

• The folder autoleague/resources/overlay/ contains various overlays showing the state of the league and current match. Most notably:

  • summary.html shows the leaderboard and the latest matches. Update the latter using autoleague.py summary [n].
  • ingame_leaderboard.html shows only the leaderboard.
  • overlay.html shows the currently playing bots in two banners near the top.
  • tmcp-overlay/overlay/overlay.html shows TMCP messages sent between bots.
  • versus_logos.html shows the play bots and their logos on a big versus screen.

  You can show these overlays on stream using a browser source in OBS.

The entire state of the league is stored in the folder path/to/my/league/, which allows it to be sent and shared with others.

East's League play

I use AutoLeague2 for East's League Play. The league play is split in weeks, and each week I do the following steps:

• Before stream:

  • Make sure path/to/my/league is up-to-date
  • Delete the old submission folder path/to/my/league/bots/ and unzip the new one
  • Unzip all bots using the command autoleague.py bot unzip
  • Check if autoleague.py bot list shows all the bots I expect
  • Test all updated/new bots using autoleague.py bot test <bot_id>. If a is bot misbehaving, I send a message to the creator explaining the issue and delete the bot's config in the path/to/my/league/bots/. This will prevent it from playing.
  • Run autoleague.py summary to reset the summary shown by the overlay

• During stream:

  • Run autoleague.py match run to run a single match. Overlays, tickets, mmr, summary, and more updates automatically.
  • Run autoleague.py match prepare to show off the playing bots before the match starts.
  • If needed, a match can be undone using autoleague.py match undo.
