Agentrunner bot - possible or no?

I've been boting in WoW for a long time, using Glider and other bots; now trying to find a bot for EVE. So far I see mining isn't very profitable way to make isk (pirates, ninjalooters, other boters, and so on). Gotta try to set up an agentrunner bot - is it possible? EVE Bot page doesn't offer a lot useful information... To be short: is there a script for accepting any missions (NPC killing included) for ISX, or I should seek for another bot?

In case there is one, can you (bot creators/owners) give me a link to it? Also would be interesting to know which char/ship/fitting does it require. For example, I could go for rockets to do maximal damage against any given NPC - but, in case bot can't switch rockets according to NPC type, I should probably train some other weapon skills. And so on...

Evebot dev version supports missions but it is still in development and you have to script the mission paths for each mission. No other combat mission runner bot is active on this forum.

EVEBot supports all missions except combat.

EVEBot dev adds combat.

Thanks for the answer, but still... don't take me wrong, but there are lots of bots for EVE. In case hunting part for this one is under construction yet - I'm afraid I'll have to seek for some another bot. It case it is already up and running, please, give me a link to download/configure/description page!

P.S. I've found a "questor" script here, with following lines in the description: "Its far from usuable at the moment and it currently doesnt really have any config files, so you have to recompile to change certain things (like max missile range, number of locked targets, etc)." Well, I understand the guy who coded it: he did it for himself. Still... what is the point to pay for the bot "base" (IS + ISXEVE) without being guaranteed to receive a stable script?

You pay for Lax to create Innerspace.
You pay for amadues to create an extension to allow Innerspace to work with Eve.
Scripts are donated out of the kindness of other PAYING members of the community. If you don't want to play within those rules fuck off. You are not entitled to anything around here.

That's why I've said I want to speak to bot creators (ISXEve, that is). They are interested in more customers, so they would never say "fuck off" :rolleyes:

Hendrix, I've said this before and I'll say it again.
Please have my babies.

StealthBot's encounter mission support is coming along wonderfully.

So... after weeks of checking, reading and learning, I think I'm ready to give EVEBot a shot. Though, after reading agentrunner manual I realized there is a lot to be done. For example (as far as I can see) EVEBot in its current state:

- can't switch hardeners for given NPC faction after accepting mission;
- can't target/loot by size (say, largest first, or vice versa);
- doesn't have NPC ship blacklist (scrambler/webifier list);
- can't tank by speed and distance (set smart orbit);
- can't tag triggers (or rather use ANY fleet capabilities);

and so on. Being a programmer, and having an open-source program, I can add these features myself. Though, I would like to know:

1) What is common way to develop EVEBot? Is it something everyone upgrades and uses for himself, or rather community-developed project? Or there is some supervisor who decides which features has to be added and which should be ignored (who is it, then)?

2) Where can I find full LavishScript + ISXEVE API?

#1 isn't supported by isxeve (fitting/unfitting). You'd have to change to pre-fitted ships.
#3 is in the ratter, you'd just need to make use of it for missions.
#5 isn't supported by isxeve. fleet broadcasts only, no receiving.

1) Prove to me that you're competent to make changes and not fuck things up, and trustworthy to have code going out to several hundred people, and I'll give you SVN access to the evebot repository. Until then, send me patches (cybertech@gmail.com). The best way to talk to me, or get any EVEBot development help, is on IRC (irc.lavishsoft.com, #isxeve)
