Because of the time it takes to perform actions in Eve when there are multiple characters running on the same VM, because EP can only work with one client at a time, there is a limit on how many bots can effectively be on each VM. Coordinating bots yields much greater efficiency. Would it be possible to update/add to the EP modules?
I'm requesting that EP's bookmark modules be changed so that I synchronize Mining/Looting/Boosting bot movements with my own algorithms. Please know that I understand that some of the things I'm asking for may not be easy for you. I'm fine if there is an easier way for you to do any of these. Or you can just say they are not possible.
The one CRITICAL thing I need is a module that: 1) Outputs the bookmark number where the bot is currently at (Corp/Personal)
It would be very nice to have: 2) A WarpTo... module that warps to the Corp/Personal bookmark number specified in the INI file, 3) A module that creates bookmarks (Corp/Personal), 4) A module that INI writes the number of bookmarks in Corp (Personal would be nice)
Original explanation:
Warning: Spoiler!
CurrentBookmark (New)
Input:
INI details of where to put information
Output:
BM type - Personal or Corp to INI
BM # - Zero based number from top to INI
WarpingToLocation (Change or New)
Input:
INI details of where to get information
BM type - Personal or Corp from INI (if not specified, use selection in EP GUI)
BM # - Zero based number from top from INI
Output:
Normal WarpToLocation module output
CreateBookmark: (New. Creates a single bookmark by clicking the bookmark button.)
Input:
INI details of where to get information
BM type - Personal or Corp (if possible)
BM name - So that we can customize where it goes in the alphabetical list (If blank, use what is there automatically.)
BookmarkSetup: Add ability to write number to INI file?
Explained differently in a later post:
Warning: Spoiler!
- Do you want (Eve Pilot) to write to INI indicating the Bookmark the bot last warped to? - Yes, INI output being bookmark number
- (Bookmark type (Corp/Personal) would be nice too)
- "Do you want (Eve Pilot) to add more bookmarks?" - Yes, an EP bookmark module that takes INI input for:
- What to bookmark (Ship or selected object)
- Bookmark type (Personal or Corporation)
- Bookmark Name (Optional) - So that we can know where the bookmark should appear in the list
- "Do you want (Eve Pilot) to warp to them from ahk code?" - No, I'm asking you to enhance the WarpingToCorpBMark and WarpingToLocation modules to (optionally) accept an INI input for:
- The Bookmark number two warp to
- (or have one module that can do either corp or personal as directed by the INI)
- Do you want (Eve Pilot) to write the number of bookmarks in Corp or Personal? - Yes, change BookMarkSetup to take read and write to INI
- INI input is what type to check, Corp/Personal/Default, with default checking last type used
- INI output being bookmark type (Corp/Personal) and the number of bookmarks found
