Mapping Unqueue to the corresponding DE_QUEUE action

[noreallyimfine]

Hi, I'm working on parsing the match to draw out some summary statistics. I have run into an issue where I can't tell how to associate the queueing action to an unqueueing one, to know the villager wasn't created.

I see this object showing a villager queued up:

{'timestamp': '0:07:54.729000',
  'type': 'DE_QUEUE',
  'payload': {'object_ids': [1933],
   'amount': 1,
   'unit_id': 83,
   'sequence': 474729,
   'unit': 'Villager'},
  'player': 1}

then there's this one showing something unqueued:

{'timestamp': '0:07:58.425000',
  'type': 'SPECIAL',
  'payload': {'order_id': 4,
   'slot_id': 0,
   'target_id': -1,
   'x': 0.0,
   'y': 0.0,
   'object_ids': [494848],
   'sequence': 478425,
   'order': 'Unqueue'},
  'player': 1}

I am as sure as i can be that this unqueue is the unqueueing of the villager queued in the first object. But I can't figure how what value in the unqueue object can be used to identify where/what was unqueued. I suspect it should be the object_id but I don't see anywhere that 494848 is identified as the TC.

Any help greatly appreciated

If you want to be 100% sure you can record your own game against AI and then look at the recording

It is the unqueuing of that villager, but what ID connects the 2? or is supposed to connect the 2?

I want to use this in a script so am looking to connect events in a reliable automatable way.

I suspect the unqueue object_id is not being correctly parsed, at least based on the example you gave.

[noreallyimfine]

oh that is entirely possible.

I am using the parse_match() func to process the .aoe2record file. Then I'm parsing the actions to track villagers created, looking for DE_QUEUE for queued vils and SPECIAL with the order: 'Unqueue' for unqueued.

Am I missing something?

this is my code for reference

`def summarize_match(match_obj):
match_summary = {
'players': {}
}

for player in match_obj['players']:
    match_summary['players'][player['number']] = {
        'name': player['name'],
        'civ': player['civilization'],
        'winner': player['winner'],
        'eapm': player['eapm'],
        'dark_age_vils': 0,
    }

age_research_actions = [e for e in match_obj['actions'] if e['type'] == 'RESEARCH' and e['payload']['technology'] in AGES]
for act in age_research_actions:
        player = act['player']
        civ = match_summary['players'][player]['civ']
        age = act['payload']['technology']
        age_landing_time = calculate_age_landing_time(age, act['timestamp'], civ)
        age_name = (age.split(' ')[0]).lower()
        match_summary['players'][player][f"{age_name}_research_time"] = parse_to_timedelta(act['timestamp'])
        match_summary['players'][player][f"{age_name}_landing_time"] = age_landing_time

for player in match_summary['players']:
    player_feudal_research_time = f"{match_summary['players'][player]['feudal_research_time']}"
    player_civ = match_summary['players'][player]['civ']

    active_tc_time = 0
    for act in match_obj['actions']:
        if act['player'] == player and act['timestamp'] < player_feudal_research_time:
            if act['type'] == 'DE_QUEUE' and act['payload']['unit'] == 'Villager':
                match_summary['players'][player]['dark_age_vils'] += 1
                active_tc_time += get_civ_research_time(player_civ, act['payload']['unit'])

            elif act['type'] == 'RESEARCH' and act['payload']['technology'] == 'Loom':
                active_tc_time += get_civ_research_time(player_civ, act['payload']['technology'])
            
            elif act['type'] == 'SPECIAL' and act['payload'].get('order') == 'Unqueue':
                print(act)
                ...

    match_summary['players'][player]['dark_age_idle_tc_time'] = format_timedelta(abs(parse_to_timedelta(player_feudal_research_time) - timedelta(seconds=active_tc_time)))

pprint(match_summary)
return format_timedeltas(match_summary)`

I'm saying there might be a bug in mgz, not that you are doing something wrong.

[noreallyimfine]

ah, i see. I don't have any experience understanding or parsing these files, but I'm gonna try and see if I can figure out what's wrong here.

thanks for responding on this
