How can I make new map with Capture The Flag model?

[zhandongdong]

I want to try replicate the environment in the paper "Human-level performance in first-person multiplayer games with population-based deep reinforcement learning". But I‘m stuck in creating capture-the-flag maps.

1. Using the Lua API, I can create maps based on Text as the docs says.

https://github.com/deepmind/lab/blob/master/docs/developers/creating_levels/text_level.md

2. And I I can turn on the game model to CTF using following code.

---

function api:gameType() return game_types.CAPTURE_THE_FLAG end

But I don't know how to import the model Red Flag and Blue Flag into the level I create, since the flag is different from other pick-up models like apple or lemon, which needs to interact with agent more complexly. For now, I can play CTF mode in only one build-in map named "ctf_bounce.map"

I find there is no docs about CTF. So I want to ask if there is any way to create maps with flags using Lua-api or C++ methods.

3. For other methods like using third party tools like GtkRadiant to make maps, I failed in install the game engine Quake III Arena because it's hard to install and run in Linux system. And I guess using GtkRadiant can't create different maps automaticly.

Does anyone build maps with capture-the-flag mode successfully or know how to deal with this problem? Thank you.
