Final Fantasy XIV Craft (FFXIV Craft)

Update and Deploy

Overview

ffxiv-craft is an advanced crafting tool specifically designed for Final Fantasy XIV (FFXIV) players. It leverages Monte Carlo simulation to generate optimal crafting macros, enhancing your crafting experience and efficiency in the game.

Please note that this tool is a fan initiative and is not officially endorsed or affiliated with Square Enix or its subsidiaries.

Features

  • Crafting Macro Generator: Uses Monte Carlo simulations to generate efficient crafting macros, eliminating guesswork from your crafting processes.

  • Crafting Simulator: The built-in crafting simulator allows you to test the effectiveness of the macros before committing your in-game resources.

  • Auto-updates: The tool automatically updates the data it uses to generate crafting macros. This ensures that the tool is always up-to-date with the latest game data.

Given the probabilistic nature of Monte Carlo simulations, the resulting macros might vary from run to run. However, the tool is designed to consistently generate successful macros.

Workflow

The ffxiv-craft repository uses a GitHub Actions workflow to automate updates and deployment. The workflow is defined in the .github/workflows/jekyll-gh-pages.yml file.

Here's a summary of the workflow steps:

  1. Checkout: Checks out the repository using actions/checkout@v3.
  2. Run Python Script: Runs xivapi_calls.py Python script located in the scripts directory.
  3. Setup Pages: Sets up GitHub Pages using actions/configure-pages@v3.
  4. Build with Jekyll: Builds the project with Jekyll using actions/jekyll-build-pages@v1, taking the current directory as the source and placing the output in the ./_site directory.
  5. Commit Changes: If there are changes, it commits them with the message "Automatic update" and pushes them to the repository.
  6. Upload artifact: Uploads the built site as an artifact using actions/upload-pages-artifact@v1.
  7. Deploy to GitHub Pages: Deploys the build artifact to GitHub Pages using actions/deploy-pages@v2.

The workflow is triggered on a schedule (every day at 12:00 UTC), on every push to the main branch, and on every pull request to the main branch.

Usage

Access to ffxiv-craft is straightforward and doesn't require local setup. You can use the tool by visiting the deployed site on GitHub. The user-friendly interface guides you through the process of generating crafting macros.

  • Changelog Updates: Plan to implement a feature that adds a date and time to the changelog whenever an update has been automatically applied. This will be visible at the head of the simulator page.

  • Webhook Integration: Intend to run a webhook that will monitor for future updates. The webhook will check xivapi for these updates and trigger a build when new data is available.

  • Reorder non-English translations: Address this issues and any other languages that have a similiar issue.

  • Remove last wait.num: The last wait is not needed Add option to remove or set the default behavior to remove.
