The hauler code now works with events generated by the miner. The hauler will sit in a station until an event comes in. Currently the miner generates events too often. Still need to figure out why that is happening. The code assumes that the hauler and miner are in the same system.

TODO

Add support for hauling to a station in another system.
Add support for looting (and salvaging) wrecks near jetcan.
Add support for tractor beams.
Improve event handling and generation.

Testing

The hauler will undock go pick up the first load, return to station dock.
At that point it sits there.

The miner keeps sending the miner full message but the hualer is stuck in the station with the ore still in the cargo.

I should add I am running both the hauler and miner on the same computer.

Updated hauler code posted to SVN.

The hauler will now drop ore, undock, and begin warping between safe spots.
When an event is received from the EveBot jetcan miner it will warp to the gang member and loot all nearby cans.
Afterwards it will continue warping between safe spots.
If it is full it will return to base and drop the ore.

A bookmark must start with SS to be considered a safe spot.

There is still a lot of features to add but it should now be usable for small scale mining operations.

This bug should now be fixed.

do you need to run evebot miner for hauler to work?

At this time only "on demand" hauling is implemented. You can use a different mining script but it must generate an event in the proper format to "call" the hauler. See obj_Mining.iss for an example of how to generate an event. I will be working on a "roving" hauler option as soon as I get multi-system hauling working.

On behalf of the ISXEve and EVEBot community....

We love you!!!!! I personally have been waiting for this hauler update for what seems like a very long time. I even started to learn lavishscript just so I could write it myself. Up until this point I have been using superhauler to do hauling and it works quite well and probably will still use it for mining with my corp since they dont bot. On that topic though a couple questions. If i have one character hauling running evebot and another character hauling running evebot but i also have other members in my gang, will it pick up their cans too as long as i have my mining character at the same belt and he makes the call? Also, will this work in fleets? My corp has a habit of converting gangs to fleets (for the bonuses im guessing alot do this) so fleet support would be great if it's not there already

This would be great
Add support for hauling to a station in another system
Along with that if we could manualy put somthing in chat, gang or whatever to trigger the hauler to come pick up would be nice.

Regarding your feature requests above. These are all in progress. What I am working on now is the "haul for all gang members" feature where it will warp from gang member to gang member picking stuff up. Then I will add support for dropping off the ore in another system and dropping off at a POS or outpost. There are more features after that but this is the near term plan.

Also, I don't believe ISXEVE gives you access to the chat data so I won't be able to make the hauler trigger on a keyword in chat. Submit a feature request for ISXEVE if you really need this feature.
