use case issue : moving a mining fleet to a new system. #83

hsyed commented 11 years ago

The use case is to move a mining fleet to a new system as transparently as possible. The salvager does some magical stuff. I hope some of this magic can be ported to the miners.

Dread suggested using corp bookmarks to get a fleet to change a mining system. There are some issues though.

  1. in the config screen the corp bookmark is not visible until the "people and places" ui widget is toggled (The hauler can refresh the bookmarks so I am assuming this can be wired up to the miner).

Update: Testing it further reveals that you must stop combot, open people and places, and then restart before the correct bookmark will be picked up.

  1. Might need to refresh the bookmarks upon "warp to belt" logic, either after station exit, or upon belt exhaustion. Might even be usefull to recheck it once every few laser cycles.
  2. Probably a seperate issue, but the hauler doesn't check pilots in space, and less generally I have seen it not warp to the mining system and instead issue warp commands to docked pilots.

<Dreadarm> [19:31:21] <Dreadarm> @ Sheeda yes you actually can - Set all you toon bm to one name like Mine - then just edit the bm you want them to mine @ to that name <Sheedah> what did I miss ? <Dreadarm> just that <primalz> lol <Sheedah> aha, lemme give that a whirl <primalz> you just got rid of quite a few bookmarks for me, thanks man <Vendan> yes, that would work <Dreadarm> yeah <Dreadarm> i been doing that for a while <Vendan> only issue is it breaks autologin <Sheedah> aah lovely, the crash wiped my combot config again :/ <Dreadarm> what i do set up a go home station - when a system or bm is empty - i return home change the bm label then resume and it works great <Dreadarm> Sheedah you can copy paste your config from one toon to another <Dreadarm> just set up one toon go yo combot config grab the line under your profile name and copy paste to the new profiles <Dreadarm> also Vendan - <Dreadarm> when mining if salvage is enabled it trys to move the contents of the jetcan to the cargo hold <Dreadarm> its not a big deal - just disable salvage when mining but! i just wanted to let you guys know <Dreadarm> Vendan - it didnt break my auto log in at all <Vendan> salvage thing is kinda no brainer, not sure if it's possible/worth it to fix, other then maybe disabling salvage if mining <Vendan> and you have multiple accounts using the same config profile? <Dreadarm> no - what i do is config one guy <Vendan> ahh, nvm <Vendan> I misread <Dreadarm> then copy the config from - <Set Name="Common"> to the end <Dreadarm> to the other configs <Dreadarm> insta setup for all my toons <frbyles> woot got a bhaalgorn bpc <Sheedah> issue : auto completion for system bookmark does not refresh bookmarks from corp till you open "people and places" (which prolly causes isxeve to refresh) <Vendan> issue is issue with isxeve, not with our code <Vendan> been specifically told that the refresh command does nothing on corp bookmarks <Vendan> and not to use it for such <Sheedah> I know, could you force a refresh when the mining config opens ? <Sheedah> there should be some code for it in the salvager module I think <Vendan> idk, teht might know about that <Sheedah> i'll ask him tommorow, or open an issue. hauler is complaining about person not being in fleet without first going to the mining system <Sheedah> should probably not attempt to warp if the person is docked anyway. <Sheedah> or in another system <Sheedah> ok restarted combot, this time it's going to the mining system first
