EDAutopilot

• An autopilot bot for Elite:Dangerous based on OpenCV+Python.
• Notice: this program only works in Elite Dangerous: Horizons currently
• Windows 11 Compatible
• Structure (v2):

What can it do?

• Auto align with the displayed navigation circle
• Run the Robigo Sightseeing mission unmanned with support for full-automated process
  Showcase: here (accelerated, no manual key input at all)
• Provide a gameSession API which you can write your own autonomous script, see game.py for API reference.(examples on the way)
• You can fork it as you wish to make changes

Getting started

1. Download the source code

git clone https://github.com/Matrixchung/EDAutopilot.git

1. Make sure you have applied the Useful Settings (Best recommended, because I write this entire project in those settings)
2. Run pip install -r .\requirements.txt to install all dependencies
3. Run the GUI entry python ./gameui.py
4. Click Scripts-Load.. and select robigo.py (For Robigo Sightseeing Mission)
5. When you are at Robigo Mines, enter the starport menu and go to Passenger Lounge, then simply click the Home button, and you can just sit back
6. You can terminate the running process anytime when you click the End button. (Sometimes it may not kick in when in a sleep loop)
7. You can leave the process unsupervised, but you should keep the mouse cursor on the Client Screen and manually takeover when it comes to interdict you
8. See the Variables for any self-configurable variables

Tips

• In order not to get interdicted, you should only choose 'Low-value target' mission, which is displayed in the mission details. The other traits can be ignored cause we are in the 'Outpost' and won't be scanned.
• Currently I'm annoyed at money-grabbing stuffs (for my Fleet Carrier), so currently this project will only play its role as a simple sightseeing mission bot. Given that I have already created a gameSession API, we can expect more features like multi-hop jumping assist for long distance travel etc. in the future. And if you want, you can fork it to do any modifications you want.

Variables

• robigo.py

  Variable	Description	Default
  isDebug	Provides a useful debug window	True
  showProcessedImg	Show the extra compassImg and navPointImg for detailed debug	True
  usingWatchDog	Watchdog can help you force exit when being interdicted or attacked	True
  stateOverride	Manually start from the given state, especially after an unexpected exit	(Empty)
  firstJumpDest	Middle destination from Robigo to Sothis	(based on ship)
  thirdJumpDest	Middle destination from Sothis to Robigo	(based on ship)
  maxMissionCount	Max acceptable missions count, depending on your ship's cabin config	8
  missionCountOverride	For any unread missions or improper mission count (e.g. former process is killed by watchdog, but newly-start game won't record any ongoing mission)	0

Useful Settings

• Optimized Graphics Settings:
  1. 1600x900 Windowed and in Primary Screen
  2. 1920x1080 Desktop Resolution
  3. Detailed Graphics Settings:
     • 
     • 
     • I don't know whether I used some 3rd-party graphics quality patch(a long time ago), so the graphics may still be different from yours even if all in-game settings are correct. Feel free to make issue if you still encounter problems such as can't recognize some images etc.
• In-Game Settings:
  1. Set the Navigation Filter(in the first panel) to ONLY STATIONS and POINTS OF INTEREST
  2. Bookmark Sothis A 5 and Robigo Mines in the Galaxy Map, which means you have to run the mission yourself for at least once(to discover the destination planet), you can see Sothis A 5 and Robigo Mines for example.
  3. Set the INTERFACE BRIGHTNESS to Level 6-7 (in Right Panel/4# Panel - SHIP - PILOT PREFERENCES)
• Robigo Mission preferred ship: Python https://s.orbis.zone/i1dm
• Note for Robigo mission: whatever your ship is, make sure its jumping capability is enough to provide a two-hop route, which means only one middle destination for a single way.
• FOV Setting: (YOUR_APPDATA_PATH/Local/Frontier Developments/Elite Dangerous/Options/Graphics/Settings.xml) <FOV>56.249001</FOV>
• Keybinds: The program will automatically parse your keybinds settings.
• GUIColor Setting: (YOUR_STEAM_LIBRARY_PATH/steamapps/common/Elite Dangerous/Products/elite-dangerous-64/GraphicsConfiguration.xml)
