A lot of people have been bugging me about an update to Questor and while I haven't fully decided yet if I want to release the source of PySharp and DirectEve (my custom libraries), I did decide that I wanted to release a new version of Questor.

So here it is, a new build of Questor, the user friendly version. Unpack the zip file to your ".NET Programs" folder in your InnerSpace directory.

To get started with this version, there are a few things you need to configure. Firstly, you need to rename the "rename_to_charname.xml" file to your charactername.xml, for example "IRBot.xml" if your char is called "IRBot".

Once that is done, you need to edit the XML file (any editor will do, even notepad), its a file which basically tells the bot which missions to accept, which ship(s) to use, what ammo to use, etc. I have added XML comments to each section. So you should be able to fill it in relatively easy.

Some of the sections contain id's, like type id and group id. These id's can be looked up in the InvTypes.xml file.

Once that is done, startup EVE with InnerSpace. Load up ISXEVE (at the moment its still required). And then load up Questor using "dotnet Questor" command in the InnerSpace console.

After that you'll get presented with a form with loads of different buttons. Normally there are only 2 interesting buttons. One is "Begin" and the other is "Auto 'BEGIN'" (ok not really a button). While there's more buttons, they are mostly there for testing.

If you filled in everything correctly in the settings XML file (e.g. "IRBot.xml"), then the bot should talk to your mission agent, accept a combat mission, fly to the mission, etc, etc, etc. The bot will decline all courier missions and decline missions in/into low-sec.

While the bot is able to automatically do all normal kill missions. Some missions require the bot to kill structures or pickup loot. These missions require (sadly enough) specialized mission-actions. I've included two sets, one for L4 Caldari Mission agents (might not be complete) and one for L4 Galente Missions (should be complete, at least was for my agent).

That in theory should be enough info to get you started. If you run into a bug or question, dont be afraid to leave a comment, however I'm not your help desk, stupid question as such will be ignored!
