EVE Macro: Simple Mining Tools (Mining Macro) Pre RMR

Hello everyone, this is my bid for a free membership; it's probaly not as complicated nor as good as what has been done on this site, but these tools can be setup and used in approx. 10 seconds. These are exes, if you fear viruses or malicous programs, the source code has been included in the zip files. The AHK files are text files, they are the source code, compile with autohotkey.

Toolkit
Drag to Cargohold

This one is amazingly simple, it will drag your ore from your cargohold to the cargo container every (specified) seconds.

Simple Mining Macro.

This thing is slightly more complex then the cargohold to jetcan above, but what it does is undock, warp to bookmark, mine the ore in your overview, warp back to a instadock boomark, dock, put ore in hangar, repeat process. I gather that their are much better programs then this, but none can match the 5 minute setup of this program.

Oooopppsss, sorry guys, I acidentally left the ini empty, forgot to save. Anyways, thanks for testing out my program, its quite simple to make an ini for this thing, but I'll get on it in a minute or so.

So if this thing works, I go premium? :P

Edit: alrighty, I included a default fairly conservative miningmacro.ini script. There are some basic comments, but as of now, this script has only been used by me, so I really never bothered making it user friendly, I'll work on it.

Edit2: The inability to reply sucks, so make me premium now :P.

Thanks for all who have tested this program, my first goal of further develping this would be simplying the interface, as I wrote this program for my personal use, I really didn't give a damn about the interface. My second goal is to add more features, if it's possible for eve to have another window name, I plan to build a hauler/miningbot(s) macro which will be considerbaly faster. I'm thinking of using screenclicks on the bottom of the screen to activate different eve windows and having a hauler haul for 3-4 bots continously. Obviously, this would represnet a leap in complexity - as I'll have to figure out a way for them to warp to multiple locations/belts as soon as they are dried out. I'm also wroking on a way for the bot to reconize, target, and drone little red crosses to death, thus allowing the program to be used in systems other then 0.9

Edit3: Sleep command is the "pause" command of the script. it forces it to pause for a second or so. I don't know why SLEEP isnt doing anything for you, but the program does work for me. I'll check again for any bugs, but I have been using this bot for a while now.

Edit4; It does work for me, when the values are entered, the bot does wait for that many seconds. The ini file seems fine too.; at least the jetcan dragger. If you are hard coding the values in, don't leave the % around the new number - that'll mess it up.

Edit5: As for the mod - he was refering to the fact that I'm not prememium yet and still can't post.... grrrrr


Edit6: There seems to be a timing problem with the exes, although the time delay works fine on my computer.

I recommend installing autohotkey and then running the ahk file.

Trying these out will let everyone know if they work.

This needs a bit of work on timing when used it puts up a TON of info screens and and the ini file is empty so we need some instruction on wait time valuse for instance is 1000 10 miliseconds or 100 and so on very simple and lots of potential here I say let there be premium and lets work out the bugs a bit

So you confirmed it to be working?

Yes it basicly works clicks all the right places but timing is funky. He needs to go into detail how to adjust timing.
But premium is the place to do this as it does as promised and is simple and great for watching tv and mining lol

Also might think about remarks in the ini to explain what its doing makes editing much more on the easy side

2nd nomination. simply because he introduced a new macro program that is very simular to MacroScheduler but FREE.
1000=1 sec 500=.5 sec so forth. Timing may still vary depending on PC
Macro does work.

You can grab the macro program at http://www.autohotkey.com for full details. Hope this sees some development. Competition is always nice :)

I dont know if anyone can be of some help here, but when i try to run the script its as though it's ignoring the timing all together... just goes at full speed, a click every second or so.

Also, the only way i can stop the script is to close EVE. :S

I am having a few problems with this one.

1. i goes super fast. seems to be going to and clicking the right stuff, but for sure doesnt wait the milliseconds i have setup.

2. no way to stop the stupid thing. I dont know much about Autoit... but this macro doesnt want to be stopped.

Sejian - try as the person above did - download autohotkey and then run the ahk files.

There seems to be a bug with the compiled files on some computers.

I made some modifications to your script.

Changes
- Shield will activate when at the asteroid belt,
- Will choose Dock when returning to the station, instead of warping, waiting, and then docking.
- Will approach asteroids before mining them, should help in situations where you warp in just short of the asteroids.

Script attached.

Edit: Im in a merlin, so this is working well for me, having that i have enough capacitors to maintain it all. Also, set your options to auto target back 0 targets, otherwise i found i accidently auto target rats and end up loosing a mining run.

Thanks for the contribution

Anyways - the overview should be set to only show asteroids, secondly I prefer it wait, due to lag and other such problems. besides, choosing the dock option doesn't allow me to use instas.
