[Question] rollout_buffer_class in RecurrentPPO

[SaltyPoseidon]

❓ Question

Hello, when custom rollout will be added to Recurrent networks as in main sb3? Is there easy way to solve this problem now?

Hello,
could you elaborate?

I'm trying to implement this paper https://arxiv.org/pdf/2207.07467 and add LSTM-support. But they are using their custom rollout buffer.

I have implemented it in the base sb3 PPO as it supports rollout_buffer_class=None, https://stable-baselines3.readthedocs.io/en/master/modules/ppo.html#stable_baselines3.ppo.PPO

Now I'm trying to perfom this in the RecurrentPPO, but it doesn't support such features

Actually, I found such PR #214

Yes, from the PR:
"I decided not to add it to MaskeablePPO and RecurrentPPO since they require special rollout buffers."

Custom rollout buffers for mask PPO or LSTM PPO require additional changes, so I would recommend you to either subclass or fork SB3 contrib for your use-case.
