Specify Init Position

[karamarieliu]

Is there any way to specify where you want your character to initialize (ie x,y coordinates)?

Also, is there any way to extend the episode length beyond 2500 for Train Envs?

Hi @karamarieliu,

I think the episode length could be extended by changing some constant like this one. If that doesn't help, you would need to edit wad-files directly. They internally contain ACS (action code scripts), which allow to do almost anything -- but require installing an editor (Slade) and some familiarity with their C-like language.

Setting up the starting point should be doable through omg library like this. Basically, everything is a "thing" (including player_start), you can retrieve "things" in various ways and change their properties like coordinates. In that example, I load a wad with the map, edit it and resave. The easiest way to install omg is pip install omgifol.

Hope that helps. Let me know if you have more questions!
