Welcome

This is a combat simulator for Final Fantasy 14. You can take it for a test drive or find more info on its status at sim.ffxivguild.net.

If you're a fellow software developer and you're interested in adding models / rotations for other classes or creating a GUI or anything of that sort, please put in some pull requests.

How to Build

Install a recent version of GCC or Clang and LLVM 3.4, and run make.

On a fresh Ubuntu machine, the steps should go about like this:

• Install the add-apt-repository command: sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
• Add the LLVM repository. Go to http://llvm.org/apt/ to figure out which repo is right for your system, then run sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://llvm.org/apt/precise/ llvm-toolchain-precise-3.4 main" with the correct repository.
• Add the toolchain PPA: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
• Install the GPG key for LLVM: wget -O - http://llvm.org/apt/llvm-snapshot.gpg.key|sudo apt-key add -
• Update your sources: sudo apt-get update
• Install the rest of the prerequisites: sudo apt-get install git make llvm-3.4-dev gcc-4.8 clang-3.4 libz-dev
• Download the source: git clone https://github.com/ccbrown/xiv-sim.git
• Enter the source directory: cd xiv-sim
• Build: CXX=c++ LLVM_CONFIG=llvm-config-3.4 make (You can put those two variables in your profile to reduce the build command to simply make.)

How to Use

time ./simulator single-json --length 660 player subjects/monk-bis.conf rotations/monk.sl

Runs a single 660 second simulation and spits out the detailed results formatted via JSON.

time ./simulator thorough-json subjects/monk-bis.conf rotations/monk.sl 360 660

Runs several hundred thousand simulations of lengths from 360 to 660 seconds and spits out the results formatted via JSON.
