Hello everyone! I'm Dimitris Gounaridis a Computer Science student from Thessaloniki, Greece.
I have sent a proposal for this year's GSoC "Direct3D - Automated game benchmarks" idea.

I created this repo( https://github.com/moihack/mywinescripts) with some simple scripts after being asked by Stefan Dösinger for a simple proof of concept around my scripting skills.

Right now my scripts download the wine-3.5 branch, build wine, then download and silently install the standalone benchmark for Devil May Cry 4. After also grabbing and unpacking autohotkey they launch the benchmark and output through WINEDEBUG=+fps the current fps value to a log file.

What this script is currently missing is any kind of dependency management and proper error handling. Also, the script currently does not still parse and calculate a metric (like average fps) from the fps.log file. 

Finally,there is a log file that gets frequently updated so the user kinda knows till which part the script run if an error occured.

Please let me know of any possible improvements and/or any possible issues you may find.

Regards,

Dimitris Gounaridis

Hi Dimitris,

Thanks for creating the repo!

Suggestion: I'm not an expert in game automation scripts, but I noticed  a 20 second sleep in the beginning of your Devil May Cry 4 autohotkey script. Would it be possible to replace that with an event listener which triggers the script when the game finishes loading?

I see autohotkey has API's for COM objects and window handles like OnWin, winExist and/or ComObj which could be worth checking https://autohotkey.com/board/topic/56987-com-object-reference-autohotkey-v11/  hope it helps!
