This is a python file that will produce a graph showing the destiny 2 DPS for certain weapons. It is configurable for several things, but is presuming that you are firing until your mag is empty, reloading, and immediately firing until you are out of ammo. This dps assumes the best, that you always hit the target. Initial logic done with the help of Roxy (https://twitter.com/rokishee), with additional support from snark.
Currently main.py requires a "weapons.json" (or alternative .json with a -rf cli arg) to input data for the graphs. It is highly recommended that you edit the currently existing weapons.json file to use with main.py.
Install Python 3.11.0 and pip, then:
pip install matplotlib
Download main.py and optionally weapons.json (which has example weapons) from the latest release in the releases tab.
There is 2 primary ways to use this code. Through command line, or by editing weapons.json and running main.py without arguments.
By default, weapons.json contains a few weapons that will create a graph similar to the one below. Editing the weapons in this file directly should work fine.
I would highly recommend to run through the command prompt if EITHER:
- You want to run a .json that is named anything other than "weapons.json"
- You want to manually enter values prompted from the command prompt, instead of editing files.
The command you will need to do should look like the following:
python [location of main.py] [-im cli] [-rf filename.json]
--input-mode (shortened to -im) you can choose between file or cli. if you do cli, it will ask you for the inputs of the weapons until you are done inputting. Default is file, argument not needed if you just want to run from the weapons.json file.
--read-file (shortened to -rf) you can choose another file other than weapons.json to run the graph from. If you arent sure what this is then don't worry about it.
