scripting, + help with a small problem.

[poppa]

hello, first of i would like to say thanks for all the great work with evebot. it runs great. and it have run flawlesly up until now. i recently set up one of my miners in 0.0. and every time a neut comes into local it warps to the pos. then pauses itself and tells me to check logs. i am aware that i asked about this several times on irc today. allthough i am not sure if i got an asnwer or not because my client kept disconecting me from irc.
i also have another question, what do i need to start writing my own scripts? i wanna learn how to make basic bots and so on, is there any particular program i need?
thanks in advance

The miner will not resume mining after fleeing due to possible hostiles, thats just the way it works.

As for scripting, the scripts are plain text, so any editor will do (notepad for example). The way I learnt was to look through and understand the existing scripts, then start with something very simple ("hello world") and work up from there.

There's also the change logs and wiki pages which will give you example snipets and all the available commands.

One thing I didn't know when I started is that you can run multiple scripts at the same time
, so you can try out small test scripts while the main evebot script is running.

ok thanks for your answer. is there any way to disable so the script dont paus it self? the ratter warps to safe and cloak and then continue when its safe again, would be nice if the miner did aswell
also when i try to resume the bot again it tryes to find home station, then checking safespots and then pauses it self again... hmm. i have tripple checked to make sure all the safes are labeld correctly

You'd need to code the script to make it resume itself.

Not sure about the second issue, not seen that myself. Best bet is to close and restart the bot completly after it's paused itself.
