Research: Morning Star Damage Type Frequency

[Danical]

I wrote a Ruby script to evaluate all my logs for Crush and Puncture criticals while wielding a morning star. Below are the results.

No code has to be inserted here.

I've updated the wiki page to reflect a 66.7% Crush Rate and 33.3% Puncture Rate.

Ugh, can you write me a script that will search all 7,000 of my logs for ONE tell I can't remember when I got it in the last two years? That would be so awesome, I have no words.

Below is what I threw together without the $critical_damage_data hash because it's thousands of lines long. It's not pretty, but it works. You could always use Notepad++ and search your log folder (recursively, if you need) for all lines that match whatever string the TELL has and then look at those. Probably a hell of a lot easier that way if you're not used to writing Ruby. You can use RegEx in the NP++ search if you need.

$data_output_array = Array.new
$file_output_name = $script_dir + "critical_data_output_" + Time.now.strftime("%Y%m%d%H%M%S") + ".txt"
files = f_files_collect(YOUR_FOLDER_PATH_STRING_HERE);

def f_files_collect(folder_path)
	if folder_path[-1, 1] != "/" then
		folder_path = folder_path + "/"
	end
	return Dir[folder_path + "*.txt"]
end

def f_file_parse(file_path, string_start, string_end)
	file = File.open(file_path, "r")
	iterator = 0
	line_start = 0
	line_end = 0
	lines = Array.new
	begin_collect = false
	begin_process = false
	data_hash = Hash.new
	file.each_line {
		|line|
		if line =~ /#{string_start}/ then
			line_start = iterator
			begin_collect = true
		elsif line =~ /#{string_end}/ and line_start > line_end then
			line_end = iterator
			begin_collect = false
			begin_process = true
		end
		if begin_collect == true then
			lines.push(line)
			next
		end
		if begin_process == true then
			output_hash = Hash.new
			if !lines.find { |l| l =~ /\.\.\. and hit/ }.nil? then
				lines.each {
					|l|
					if l =~ /^You swing an? ([a-z\-\s]+) at an? ([a-z\-\s]+)/ then
						output_hash["weapon"] = $1
						output_hash["target"] = $2
					elsif l =~ /^  AS\: \+([0-9]+) vs DS\: \+([0-9]+) with AvD\: \+([0-9]+) \+ d100 roll\: \+([0-9]+) \= \+([0-9]+)$/
						output_hash["attack_strength"] = $1
						output_hash["defense_strength"] = $2
						output_hash["attack_vs_defense"] = $3
						output_hash["die_roll"] = $4
						output_hash["outcome"] = $5
					elsif l =~ /\.\.\. and hit for ([0-9]+) points of damage!/
						output_hash["total_damage"] = $1
					elsif regex = $critical_damage_data.keys.find { |r| l =~ r }
						output_hash["damage_type"] = $critical_damage_data[regex]["type"]
						output_hash["damage_critical"] = $critical_damage_data[regex]["damage"]
						output_hash["critical_rank"] = $critical_damage_data[regex]["rank"]
						output_hash["wounds"] = $critical_damage_data[regex]["wounds"]
					end
				}
				$data_output_array.push(output_hash)
			end
			begin_process = false
			lines = Array.new
		end
		iterator += 1
	}
	file.close
end

files.each {
	|file|
	f_file_parse(file, "You swing", "Roundtime")
}

File.open($file_output_name, "w") {
	|file|
	# header
	output_string = ""
	$data_output_array[0].each_key {
		|key|
		output_string += key + "\t"
	}
	file.puts(output_string[0...-1])
	# data
	$data_output_array.each {
		|data_hash|
		output_string = ""
		data_hash.each_value {
			|val|
			output_string += val + "\t"
		}
		file.puts(output_string[0...-1])
	}
}

I'm pretty sure we got you sorted out last night/this morning. Let me know if you need any additional help.
