Mystler's SimC Scripts

This repository contains my scripts for automated simulation and data collection.

Initial Setup

Install a Ruby interpreter. On Windows you can use RubyInstaller. You will need to install the DevKit as well. As of RubyInstaller 2.4+ you can run ridk install 1 2 3.

gem install bundler
bundle install

General Configuration

In order to work with the scripts in this repository, copy the file SimcConfig_Example.yml to SimcConfig.yml and change the parameters to match your setup and needs.

General simulation settings are set in conf/SimcGlobalConfig.simc.

If you want to access SimC default profiles, you can use the variable $(simc_profiles_path) in your simc profiles.

TrinketSimulation

Usage:

1. Create a simulation profile file in your profiles/Templates class folder. This file defines the base character to simulate.
2. (Optional) Create a custom trinket list file in the profiles/TrinketLists folder. This file defines all trinkets to simulate. (See TrinketList_Melee_Agility.json for an example.)
3. Run TrinketSimulation.rb. It will ask you to select the profiles.
4. Wait for the simulation to run until it says it's done.
5. The resulting CSV file will be in the reports folder.

The result is a CSV file containing the DPS increases for each Trinket and Item Level compared to the Template profile.

Special Trinket simulation settings can be set in conf/SimcTrinketConfig.simc.

RaceSimulation

Usage:

1. Create a simulation profile file in the profiles/Templates folder. This file defines the base character to simulate.
2. Run RaceSimulation.rb. It will ask you to select a profile and fightstyle.
3. Wait for the simulation to run until it says it's done.
4. The resulting CSV file will be in the reports folder.

Special Race simulation settings can be set in conf/SimcRaceConfig.simc.

Combinator

This script will run a template for whatever talent and gear combinations you would like to investigate. It is an interactive script prompting for any input required.

All you have to do is create a Combinator_<PROFILENAME>.simc file in a class folder in profiles/Templates.

You can override baseline gear for certain talents setups by creating another profile in a TalentOverrides subfolder. That files name has to match the profile name and a talent permutation. (e.g. <NAME>_xxx123x)

Also make sure gear and setup definitions are available. For an example, look at the files CombinatorGear_*.yml files. These define what gear is available to the class and what setups of those to simulate. Check the specs for more info.

Special Combinator simulation settings can be modified in conf/SimcCombinatorConfig.simc.

Then, you can run the Combinator.rb script.

Log files for each combination will be written to the logs folder. The resulting CSV file can be found in reports.

Archiver

If you run Archiver, it will automatically pack all script output files in generated, logs, and reports into a time-stamped .tar.gz file in archives and delete the raw files.

Tools

The tools subfolder is there to host non-simulating scripts like one-shot input generators. Even though they are in the tools folder, they should be run from the main folder.
