TLDWR: "track dps" in console


This mod calculates DPS (damage per second) and other stats in real-time and saves it to console variables. This allows to use the in-game not-so-well-known functions such as "track" and "plot". For more information on those commands see http://wiki.heroesofhammerwatch.com/Commands#unsorted_commands .


Looking at the Description image, you see the "dps" and "dps_highest" variables being tracked and "dps_val" variable being plotted.


The following console variables are calculated by the plugin :

1- Formatted values :
Those are strings, to be used with "track"; to "plot", you need to use the "_val" version. E.g. 'track dps'.
dps - damage done in the last second
dps_highest - highest dps reached in the level
dps_avg (gives the average DPS done over X seconds; X = dps_avg_time)
dps_avg_highest (gives the highest value of dps_val_avg reached on the level)
dps_recent_highest (gives the highest value of dps over the X last seconds; X = dps_avg_time)
dps_recent_single_highest (gives the highest damage instance done in the X last seconds; X = dps_avg_time)

2- Unformatted values:
Those are integer values, which allow the game to "plot" them. It will overflow starting at 2^31 and you'll see strange plot behaviour around those values. E.g. 'plot 60 dps_val'.
dps_val
dps_val_highest (previously named dps_highest_val)
dps_val_avg (gives the average DPS done over X seconds; X = dps_avg_time)
dps_val_avg_highest (gives the highest value of dps_val_avg reached on the level)
dps_val_recent_highest (gives the highest value of dps over the X last seconds; X = dps_avg_time)
dps_val_recent_single_highest (gives the highest damage instance done in the X last seconds; X = dps_avg_time)


And the following console variables are used for configuration :
dps_short - Do you want to use short/letter form (123.3k) or long form (123 300) ?
dps_long_separator - If using long form, what is the thousand separator (used starting at 10k damage) ? Default ' ' (space).
dps_avg_time - Number of seconds for the "recent" and "avg" stats

If you find the plot/track annoying, you can remove them by closing your game, or use "cs_show_vars 0" to hide ALL variable tracking/plotting. (Please devs, option to remove :D)

Github w/ bin (for GOG): https://github.com/TheMadSword/heroesofhammerwatch_dps_meter

For dps calculation, code uses a circular queue to O(1) amortized add damage ( O(1) normally, O(n) for array recopy if too many damage instance).
For avg dps calculation, "buckets" (collection of 0.5 seconds) are considered and summarized to calculate stats.
