So, I saw your youtube video. Are those instructions in the text window just the abstraction of the code itself, or are you using a macro recorder?
I looked through the rest of your thread, I'm afraid I'm not sure where or how to start with this. I see you defined a DroneMgr(), for example, and #include a ClassEveWindow.ahk as well. You mention writing over 1000 lines of code to get it to work.
I saw elsewhere that you mentioned being hesitant to broadly release your code because of the effect it might have on inflation/ore prices. I certainly can't argue against your reasoning. Is there anything very basic you could share (perhaps the Eve Window classes or something?) that we could use to get started? I think that would create a sufficient barrier for entry where the vast majority of botters would likely be unwilling to learn and work on the code to make it work.
I admit, failing some assistance on your part, I'm at a bit of a loss. Seeing that AHK has a macro recorder interests me though, given the standardized placement of the Eve Interface, I feel like that could be useful for some of the broader strokes.

The text in the video was just because I did not want to connect a microphone and deal with all that stuff. It is all custom code. The macro recorder was not used.
I am right in the middle of an out-of-state move, so I don't have time to do anything for the next few weeks.You may have also seen that I am working on the inventory window. When I finish that I intend to release the AHK class files obfuscated and in EXE form so that others can use some of my base classes, like the EveWindow class.
I'm glad you asked though because you prompted me to look again for how to call to AHK EXE files. I've looked multiple times with no success, but this time I found the following might work. (I want to release my classes for people to use without letting them see the logic of their methods. I've put a lot of effort into it and want to safeguard the ability to charge for it if I choose to do so at some time in the future.

Ah, ok, good stuff.
I recall you saying that you were moving, understandable that you don't have an abundance of free time. I am very happy to hear that you'll release some AHK files (while still rightfully protecting your intellectual property)!
If you do indeed release the EXEs, would you be willing to produce/post documentation on the various methods so that we can implement them properly? Thanks again, really looking forward to the inventory window piece as well as this!

Yep. Each method will be documented.

Excellent! I (and many others am sure) will wait on baited breath. Good luck with the rest of your move and the Inventory Window project.

Hello All,
I have had a read over this topic from the start and think some thinking has been missed, I know you may all really want this to be added to the bot but I would like to include a very good reason why this could not be done.
As stated at the very start of this topic the NPC fighters like to attack the drones first, this would be the reason adding this to the miner would not work.
The miner is configured with shield and armour % sensing, the miner is set to protect, fight, warp and log at set % given in the settings, if the NPC like the drones and not your ship the drones will be destroyed on the first NPC attack, the miner would not be able to sense that the drones are being attacked so will not send fighter drones after the attacking NPC, some things just can't be done or are not worth doing due to the way eve works, sadly this is the facts and sadly makes this pointless coding into the miner.
I hope this answers all current and future questions regarding this and helps this to be resolved.
King Regards, Taz
