SimulationCraft Profile Generator

This script generates and runs SimulationCraft profiles for World of Warcraft character optimization.

Features

• Automatically generates profiles based on talent combinations
• Filters talent combinations based on user input
• Supports custom fight durations and target counts
• Generates an HTML output with simulation results

Requirements

• Python 3.6+
• SimulationCraft executable
• character.simc and profile_templates.simc files for your character/spec
• config.ini file for configuration

Usage

python generate_sims.py <path_to_config_file>

Configuration File (config.ini)

The script now uses a configuration file (config.ini) instead of command-line arguments. Here's an example of the config.ini structure:

[General]
simc = /path/to/simc/executable
folder = /path/to/simc/files
single_sim = false
timestamp = true

[Simulations]
targets = 1
time = 300
targettime = 1,300 5,60

[TalentFilters]
hero_talents = all
hero_talents_exclude =
class_talents = all
class_talents_exclude =
spec_talents = all
spec_talents_exclude =

[General] Section

• simc: Path to the SimulationCraft executable
• folder: Path to the folder containing character.simc and profile_templates.simc
• single_sim: Set to true to run a single simulation with the talent string from character.simc
• timestamp: Set to true to include a timestamp in the output filename

[Simulations] Section

• targets: Default number of targets for the simulation
• time: Default fight duration in seconds
• targettime: List of target and time combinations for multiple simulations (overrides targets and time if specified)

[TalentFilters] Section

• hero_talents: Hero talents to include (default: all)
• hero_talents_exclude: Hero talents to exclude
• class_talents: Class talents to include (default: all)
• class_talents_exclude: Class talents to exclude
• spec_talents: Spec talents to include (default: all)
• spec_talents_exclude: Spec talents to exclude

Examples

Run all talent combinations:

[TalentFilters]
hero_talents = all
class_talents = all
spec_talents = all

Run specific talent combinations:

[TalentFilters]
hero_talents = spb dgb
class_talents = fot
spec_talents = fb

Run multiple simulations with different target and time combinations:

[Simulations]
targettime = 1,300 6,60 10,60

[TalentFilters]
hero_talents = aldrachi
class_talents = hunt
spec_talents = nospb dgb

Output

The script generates an HTML file with simulation results in the current directory. The filename includes the simulation parameters and optionally a timestamp.

Adapting for Different Specs

To use this script for a different spec:

1. Replace the contents of the folder containing character.simc and profile_templates.simc with files for your desired spec.
2. Update the profile_templates.simc file with the appropriate talent options for your spec.
3. Ensure the talent names in the config.ini file match those in your profile_templates.simc file.

No changes to the Python script itself are necessary unless your spec requires unique handling of certain parameters.

Notes

• The script assumes a specific structure for the profile_templates.simc file. Ensure your file follows the expected format with sections for Hero, Class, and Spec talents (denoted by the comment # symbols).
• Talent filtering is case-insensitive and requires all specified terms to be present in a talent name.
• The script creates a temporary .simc file for the simulation, which is deleted after execution.
