RuntimeError: map_path file doesn't exist

Trying to run the simplest bot for testing after installation, results in this:

System: Ubuntu 18.04

Downloaded SC2 3.17 linux package from its source: https://github.com/Blizzard/s2client-proto#downloads

Extracted it into /home as is suggested.

Downloaded all 2017-2018 Map Packs and extracted them in Maps inside StarCraft2 folder, in each respective folder.

Any idea whats the issue?

[LecJackS]

I realized that I downloaded the linux package version 3.17, while there is a 4.1.2 version.

https://github.com/Blizzard/s2client-proto#downloads

I downloaded that, copied the maps inside Maps, and a new similar exception was raised, but now with a new detail:

'/home/jack/StarCraftII/maps/Ladder2017Season1/AbyssalReefLE.SC2Map' file doesn't exist., where maps folder is with lowercase M.

So I duplicate the Maps folder to a new maps folder in the same directory, and the bot started to work 😃

@varunbalupuri check if that works for you.

I had the same issue with my docker image. I had to use lower case maps for some reason to fix my problem. https://hub.docker.com/r/burnysc2/python-sc2-docker/~/dockerfile/
