Hello

Anyone is an android app dev?

That writes apps in java?

[cinder kayak]

Depends on what you need help with. What’s your problem?

[ember canyon]

So. I am trying to make an app. That allows me to select an apk file. And then add custom flags to it so the apk will install with my custom flags

But i dont know how difficult that would be 🤔

[cinder kayak]

Oh lol, can't help you with that, sorry 🤣

[ember canyon]

Np

There is an app that kinda does it

But it only allows you to install 1 of 6 apps

So im thinking hm. Is there a way i can just replace the apk link and then try to install it that way? But not sure

Also not sure what program i can use to open and edit apk code? 🤔

[cinder kayak]

Why don't you try and decompile this app and take a look at how they've done it?

[ember canyon]

Well its on github so i can see all the code. But it just doesnt really make sense to me fully

[reef stratus]

Hello, has anyone ever used a VPS at Contabo before?

[foggy osprey]

Yeah, what's up? I have one with them currently

[reef stratus]

From your experience, how good is it in terms of stability, performance, and support?

I've seen some negative reviews and want to make sure before buying a VPS S. Currently, I have some servers with OVH, but in terms of price, I've seen that Contabo offers better resources

[foggy osprey]

I can't really recommend them if you want to host anything important/public or resource-intensive on there. I currently have their VPS S tier only to host a basic Zabbix instance, to monitor a few dedis that I have hosted elsewhere. Also keep in mind that their maximum network speed is 100Mbit.

If you're searching for a good VPS provider, I can recommend Vultr. I've been with them for 5+ years. Great server specs, support and uptime :)

If you're looking for something comparable to Contabo pricing tho, take a look at Hetzner Cloud. Their Arm64 servers are dirt cheap.

[shadow marsh]

I had the VPS XXL there. In terms of hosting game servers they are poor. You only get lags and issues. However in lightweight stuff like hosting a website and Database servers and discord bots it's enough performance.

[violet tulip]

DigitalOcean

[tardy smelt]

I've personally had OVH and Hetzner. They are both pretty reliable.

Currently using DigitalOcean on the new software I'm writing and they have been pretty good. But it's much more expensive tho currently spending $600 USD + a month

TMP uses Scaleway and OVH

[violet tulip]

Scaleway is good too. they grew a lot in last years with many improvements

take a look also at Linode

[supple shard]

My experience with OVH:
*VPS loses outbound network connectivity
OVH customer support: have you tried running a traceroute from your computer

its great when things work but if anything happens that a reboot, or OS-level config update, wont fix then your SOL

in the end they werent able to fix my problem so they just gave up and moved me to another box

[tardy smelt]

They are very cheap tho

[supple shard]

Contabo is cheaper with better "bang for buck" imo

[exotic dock]

@tardy smelt Hello sir, forgive me for disturbing you. I have a few questions. You have been working on TruckersMP years a lot, you have created a client and developed a multiplayer mod for ETS2 and ATS games to synchronise with your website. How did you success to do that? If someone with a coding language and programming training wants to develop a multiplayer mode from scratch, can they do it or will they stuck the obstracles? If this is possible, wouldn't it be nice to have rivalry between your TruckersMP platform and a new platform?

[supple shard]

will they stuck the obstracles
one does not simply right bug free code or expect to not lose many nights of sleep because you forgor a ; on line 82 💀

[exotic dock]

It's horrible to think about

[tardy smelt]

Many have tried and all have failed.

It's not that easy and you have to compile the game code and understand what's happening to then inject your code into the game code to make the multiplayer work.

[ember canyon]

idek whats worse at this point tbh. hiding private events or ban length.

both kinda break a lot of things

[ember canyon]

destroys DX with your services a bit

[wise finch]

What do you mean private events?

[ember canyon]

member-only events

[wet kite]

I think going through the api it should be okay tbh

Maybe make it so you've to get an api key or smth before being able to access private stuff

[ember canyon]

i've suggested that option

they said theres no eta on when thatll be done

[wet kite]

And if you really wanted, they could make it so each VTC has it's own key which you can use to access their own "private" stuff

[wet kite]

Eta is probs never kekw

[olive quiver]

(LANGUAGE: C) Haiiii, does anyone in here know how to print a double without using printf or any already-existing functions except write, putchar and putstr? I'm trying to display the frequency of a letter in a string given as argument when executing the binary.

My program can already count the occurence of multiple letters in a string.

(feel free to mention)

(for context, this is what I have to do)

[olive quiver]

Nevermind I figured it out with my colleagues

[shadow marsh]

Soo, I want to make the next step in my development area and want to learn web development.

Have you people good recommendations where I could possibly learn web development (for beginners - I don't know nothing ) - eventually for free?

Hit me up and thanks in advance for your help! 🙂

[foggy osprey]

https://codecademy.com has some pretty good courses for beginners :)

Some are (partially) paid, but for basic/beginner things it should be mostly free

[shadow marsh]

Thank you Diego! Really appreciate it gonna check it out

[cinder kayak]

I'll try it out too, cuz I'm bored

[azure stratus]

Codecademy is great, can attest, but it's definitely a starting point - GitHub has some fun repos of project collections to consider as portfolio things, just google something along the lines of GitHub projects (language here)

[ember canyon]

i started my programmer journey off github.com/countr/countr

[azure stratus]

I just started with d.js

Trial by fire

[fresh scaffold]

this

then I think I went to to express.js since I wanted to make a dashboard for a discord bot

Small projects are great for learning, really.

Also don't get stuck in tutorial hell

[brittle garnet]

express for API connection so

[azure stratus]

I used Express, a bit of Fastify

Immediately learned Typescript and started using all the experimental features of that

Experimental decorators are my passion

And now I need to learn pytorch for my NLP research

[ember canyon]

Yikes

[shadow marsh]

Sure and I'm the King of China

[azure stratus]

Just joined the server today though? Interesting

You figure a prospective community manager would have been immersed in the community

Also one community manager building a working relationship (that likely already exists) out of a whole team of people?

Very interesting, considering how long TMP has been around maybe?

Just saying, you give absolutely no background or public facing info about yourself and expect us to fall into line with the belief that you're all of a sudden on management at SCS, it would naturally be a little fishy

[autumn magnet]

What would that prove?

[azure stratus]

A portfolio? A company profile? Literally anything?

Community managers would be well steeped in public relations with the SCS community, so let's see some evidence of that?

I'll happily stand corrected if you can provide that, but it's very vacuous at the given moment

[tardy smelt]

SCS already have our contact information that they have been using when ever they requires anything from us.

[azure stratus]

Also, this seems like a largely irrelevant chat given the nature of the channel to bring a topic like this up

[tardy smelt]

You're welcome! SCS community manager already have access to official TMP Team discord too

[azure stratus]

Not gatekeeping, just Section 2.01 of the rules, if we want to get pedantic

[tardy smelt]

Let him know and he'll let us know in the appropriate channel

[azure stratus]

Not that I'm here to minimod, just saying we tend to like our channels on topic

[tardy smelt]

Not sure what was on topic since I do not see any development questions. It was more of a general question that would have been in support, feedback or have asked a discord moderator.

[azure stratus]

In that case, I'll apologize for drawing it out, but I'll reserve my natural skepticism for the right spot in the future

Some people have a bit too much time, eh?

Back to abstract writing I go

Anyways, on a development related note - I'm finally submitting the abstract for my paper!! Granted it's a local conference and I'm really doing it to train myself on postering and getting reviews, but hopefully submitting to EACL/ACL in the coming months

And hey a trip to Malta for a conference, what's not to love

[alpine pier]

Hi, how to create a custom VTC app (e.g: similary to Truckbooks or Trucky per example) ?

[azure stratus]

A lot of system variables - web, discord based, phone app? What tracker do you want to use, or will you use one in house? Will you manage automatic logging, or do paper logs? Etc etc etc

It's not just a matter of "how, with what, and how long"

[alpine pier]

I plan to make a JSON API that retrieves data (missions, events & more) and sends it to a database. I'd like to make my own system for my VTC.

[azure stratus]

Then you'd need to implement that API somehow, which is a whole other app to develop

[main tree]

i was wondering guys/girls, when using ets2 official controller layout from steam, we have this awesome functionality, "game actions" but when i try to create my own gamepad layout from scratch this options does not appear and i am forced to bind gamepad touch with keyboard touch instead of those internal input, so my question is, is there a way to use those, except from always making a copy of this layout then make edit from it ?
https://ibb.co/B49FGcH

[glass idol]

hi

i would like to know how is truckersmp made

[shadow marsh]

You'll need definitely C++ Knowledge, Reverse Engineering knowledge, network knowledge - just to name a few.

[opal arch]

You may want to check out this repository to get a very rough idea how TruckersMP works: https://github.com/EryksProjectsArchive/ETS2HookingOldSandbox

Keep in mind, though, that this is an extremely old source code and it's nothing like we are using right now. In fact, this was discarded at the time and a new project was made from scratch.

[humble carbon]

Hey question, is the api of the traffic public?

[ember canyon]

https://api.truckyapp.com/docs/#api-Traffic ?

[cinder kayak]

The API that Krashnz uses for his Website (https://traffic.krashnz.com) is not public. But you can contact him via Forum if you want access to it.

[humble carbon]

Legend! Thank you spoony!

[humble carbon]

Oh! Is trucky public

[cinder kayak]

Yep. Their's is public

[violet tulip]

but it's not using the Kashnz Traffic API, it's own implementation

[ember canyon]

Ive fallen into a rabbit hole im enjoying 🤔

Never thought much into coding and becoming a developer but its actually turning out to be a lot of fun

Currently doing angela yu's 2023 complete web development bootcamp. It takes you from 0 to full stack developer. Also purchased her complete flutter developer course and her 100days of coding python course

Shes really great teacher. Explains stuff so well 😄

nice

good luck 👍

Im interested what got everyone into development/coding/programming? 🤔 and thanks!

discord bots

thats what i started with

Ah nice!

I got clyde to write the code for the one i was working on XD

[fresh scaffold]

use ai carefully. Otherwise you'll just rely on it. For me atleast, AI was a problem. I used co-pilot 24/7 and never understood concepts and just went "Yea, I get it. Leme move on"

turned ai off and boom, I was a

[ember canyon]

I started on Minecraft Plugins, then extended to Discord Bots (JDA), now I'm learning creating Programs with JavaFX - also learning myself the basics of Webdevelopment (Currently HTML)

[ember canyon]

javafx hmm

interesting

[azure stratus]

Eugh java

I just wrote a DNS filter for my networking/Kali Linux class

Thank god Java is good at byte manipulation but yeesh

[summer gyro]

Discord bots at first using js and then moved onto website development

[ember canyon]

very cool 🙂

@shadow marsh i just finished learning html theres a great video on yt for it brb ill get link

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HD13eq_Pmp8

very to the point. super easy to understand aswell

took me 3 hours as i was pausing video and using vscode to test it for myself but yeah. very cool

i started using react without really knowing html

[summer gyro]

Well

you always learn it as your going along

[azure stratus]

I decided to take an HTML/CSS/JS/PHP course in university instead of teaching myself

Took 12 weeks but my prof is now my research supervisor so hey we won

Shockingly had the most fun learning python, it was nice to already know basically everything about a language + some of the libraries for code analysis were lots of fun

[summer gyro]

I wonder if it’s possible to make a job logger application using electron js

Might have a look into it

[azure stratus]

We use CHub as a service provider (run by our CTO) and afaik that's just a stack based in PHP and some django/flask-esque thing

[modern heart]

https://github.com/RenCloud/scs-sdk-plugin

[shadow marsh]

Thanks, gonna take a look tonight - appreciate your answer!

[ember canyon]

Of course!

There is 1 thing i reccomend though

In his video. He teaches you to do <br> and <hr> well in html5 that is perfectly fine because html knows they are void elements. But good practice is to write them as <br /> and <hr /> because then if you look back at your code. You will see the / and remember that they are self closing tags where as if you leave the / out. You might be confused as to why there is no closing tag 🙂

Like i say <hr> and <br> will work fine as html5 just good practice to include the / so you remember its self closing 🙂

Also if you havent. You should install live preview extension in vscode because then you can right click your work and click open with live server to see how it looks as an actual webpage instead of just seeing the code 🙂

[shadow marsh]

<br> is for a new line in a <p> - That I do know

[ember canyon]

yeah <br /> is new line <p></p> is paragraph <hr /> is horizontal line 🙂

horizontal line and new line are void elements so they are self closing tags 🙂

but if you are using paragraphs <br /> doesnt look right. its better to end the paragraph with </p> then next line make a new paragraph as a break in a paragraph looks weird.

[mortal sparrow]

hi! im looking to get into Dev and coding... what would your guys say is language i need to get into

[ember canyon]

depends what you want to do 🙂

[mortal sparrow]

i know how to change Sh....t in games and make mods work... i really dig making stuff for games

[ember canyon]

ah for that i cant give advice sorry i have no idea whats needed for games

[ember canyon]

Learning about css grid today just learnt about flexbox

Fascinating how powerful stuff is when you look behind the code of something. On a website it can look so simple yet the code behind it is so fascinating

Like peices of a puzzle. All fitting together perfectly to make it all work

[ember canyon]

life's a puzzle

[ember canyon]

True but sadly lifes not as logical as code

[uneven nimbus]

My teacher says I have too many enters in my HTML code but is this good now?

[uneven nimbus]

Oh nice had to make a website using CSS grid.

[ember canyon]

For description of fortran why did you give it a seperate div? When you could have used <p></p> ?

[uneven nimbus]

Well it was a code given by another classmate so I can't really answer that.

[ember canyon]

XD

[uneven nimbus]

Just gotta fix the overuse of enters in my code to make it look more better according to my teacher.

[ember canyon]

It also looks like there is not enough </div> for the amount of <div>

You have css to go with this html?

[uneven nimbus]

Those are at the bottom

[uneven nimbus]

Yeah in a styles.css file

[ember canyon]

Ah okay

Also a lil confusing why they put a div on the title when they could have use a heading tag then altered font size or font weight in css

[uneven nimbus]

And for some reason my Navbar on phone is at the bottom of the page according to my teacher even though it's at the top on the 5 other phones I tested

[uneven nimbus]

Yeah but it's too late to change all that.

And too much work

[ember canyon]

What phone did teacher use and which phones did you use?

[uneven nimbus]

2 of the phones were I believe Iphone 14, I used my Iphone SE and 2 others were samsung I believe but dont know the model.

I'm not sure what phone my teacher used

[ember canyon]

Could be different screen size which is causing issue in which case you could add media query to do a max width of 680px then attach a position for the nav bar to the top

[uneven nimbus]

Probably yeah

My media query is set to 400px which is probably too tiny

[ember canyon]

Yeah do it to max of 680px

Any bigger than 680px is a tablet

(Most likely)

[uneven nimbus]

Alright let me see

Making it 680px does weird stuff

Seems my navbar is also at the bottom on my moms phone

[summer gyro]

try 1200px and adding the necessary css elements into it

if not, 767px or 992px might work?!

[uneven nimbus]

680px worked but now my navbar on other pages are at the bottom except the home page

[summer gyro]

are the other pages using a different css file

[fresh scaffold]

ps F12 > Responsive Design Mode

[uneven nimbus]

I am using that

[summer gyro]

ive noticed sometimes it doesnt work

[uneven nimbus]

But when I am on phone it looks different then when using responsive design mode

[summer gyro]

make sure your phones on the same network and load the localhost

with live serveryou can save and it will auto refresh so you can preview it then

[uneven nimbus]

I put my file on a school server and visit it on my phone

[summer gyro]

have you done max-width or min-width

[uneven nimbus]

Max

[summer gyro]

hm

[uneven nimbus]

I’ll look more into it after dinner.

At least the homepage is fixed

[summer gyro]

yh

[uneven nimbus]

Actually it seems that my navbar has also moved to the bottom when using responsive mode on laptop

Weird...

Fixing a problem and creating a new one

[uneven nimbus]

Removed the unnecessary enters. Gotta fix the responsive now

[summer gyro]

👍

[ember canyon]

the joy of code 🙃

[uneven nimbus]

Very true

[ember canyon]

main task of a programmer

[summer gyro]

😂

[uneven nimbus]

It's been 2 hours trying to fix this navbar

[ember canyon]

You could use flexbox for the navbar

Set each option to an order. Put them as inline with gap

Could also assign them to wrap so when on smaller screens they will occupy multiple rows to fit on screen if you wanted

Started with asking us if you had too many enters. Now we are discussing flowbox media queries and navbars

[uneven nimbus]

Well I got the navbar fixed on phone but for some reason my code in my media query is also messing with my code outside of the media query

[ember canyon]

Did you make sure you closed all the brackets for media query?

[uneven nimbus]

Yeah

[ember canyon]

Hm 🤔

[uneven nimbus]

I've had this issue from the start.

[ember canyon]

The codes too private to show?

[uneven nimbus]

Ehh not necessarily

[ember canyon]

If you can show the media query and css part we might be able to try fix it

[ember canyon]

Media query hasnt been closed

For media query you need 2 brackets

[uneven nimbus]

When I add one more it's red

[ember canyon]

Add it on line 399 in front of the other bracket

[uneven nimbus]

Yeah sadly everything is worse now

[ember canyon]

That way it will stop the media query code. It should be like

Media query (){
Selector {
Selector code
}
}

Whats it look like now?

[uneven nimbus]

Well it looks very bad now.

It's closed but my website looks even worse now

[ember canyon]

You had the media query close bracket at the bottom of the entire code

[uneven nimbus]

Yeah

[ember canyon]

You removed that one?

[uneven nimbus]

I did but it still looks bad

My laptop version looks bad)

I'll have to somehow fix this with my none closed media query

Way too late to try and fix my laptop version

[ember canyon]

[uneven nimbus]

wot

[ember canyon]

names

inconsistent

[uneven nimbus]

Blame my teacher

[ember canyon]

aint an issue just triggers me

[uneven nimbus]

It does the same to me

Well good to know that I should close my query next time.

[ember canyon]

Yeah for media query its normally like this

[ember canyon]

This

Then the code goes under that

Also did your teacher tell you what you had too many spaces in?

Because your css page has so many empty lines its crazy XD

[uneven nimbus]

It was about HTML

[ember canyon]

Ahh yeah there didnt look like too many in the html

Ah yeah you do have some you dont need

[uneven nimbus]

It was bad

[ember canyon]

The divs they dont need seperated by extra gap so line 29 can go. Just a waste of space line 32 isnt needed to be empty either. Line 43 doesnt need to be empty line 45 doesnt need to be empty

[uneven nimbus]

Changed it already haha.

I guess I thought adding gaps would make it look nicer

[ember canyon]

Ah XD

Only time i add lines is where i want to place comments. Or in the head section for internal css

[uneven nimbus]

Alr

[ember canyon]

So youre doing this at school? Or its a uni degree or?

[uneven nimbus]

College degree

Or smt

Going to college for Software Developing/Developer

Started 3 months ago

[ember canyon]

Oh nice 🙂

I didnt hear about any of this kinda stuff till i was out of uni rip

[uneven nimbus]

😅

[ember canyon]

But found an incredible deal

The course im doing now. If you go to their hq to do it. It costs $12,000 but you can do the exact same course online right? And they had a sale recently and i got it for $15.99

Exact same tutor. Exact same modules. Everything is the same. Just the online course you have to study at own pace. But such a huge saving its definitely worth

[azure stratus]

Jeez I missed the one active dev chat day

I was busy doing computer science tours for future students though

[ember canyon]

My bad ill stop talking to make it quiet here again np

I can share some cool coding things here?

Am doing a course and its sharing some sites that you can learn/test your coding knowledge with

Will wait for reply before posting as not sure if can share or not

[ember canyon]

i think i am going to invent a new game

imagine chess. with a twist where if you get certain pieces in certain formations it unlocks a new pattern for a select piece to be able to move

for example. line up 2 castles with king in between. the king grants them permission to move diagonally

[last lichen]

chess 2.0 when!?!?!?!?

same time as gta 6 probably

[ember canyon]

might do it on a test website. just to see what i can get it to do. will have to wait until i finish my javascript modules

im starting javascript later today. so hopefully will start new chess project in next few days

line up 4 pawns in middle of the board and the pawn that makes the bottom of the L can have the same moves as the knights

think it could be really really interesting concept

[uneven nimbus]

Decided to go back to an older version of my website where my navbar looked uglier but worked for both laptop and phone and luckily my website was accepted

Next period we will start working with Javascript.

[ember canyon]

did you have to use grid?

im on my final css course and im learning about bootstrap and its so much better for navbars

for example

ignore picture of cat XD this is my "test and find out" website XD

[uneven nimbus]

Yeah

Looks nice

[ember canyon]

Would be nice if search box worked 🙃

[uneven nimbus]

Indeed it would

[ember canyon]

I wonder if staff know their tmp discord bot [apps] button for user lookup isnt working

Unless it requires certain perm to use but then surely it wouldnt show to people without that perm?

wdym

works fine for me

Huh

Not for me

wot it say

"The user cannot be found."

doesnt mean it doesnt work

make sure ur discord connection is public on the website

It is

idk then

works on me

Huh. Thats weird

[cinder spear]

your discord is private in your profile

[ember canyon]

It is? I am certain i made it public when linking bot for role

My bad then ty

[ember canyon]

How hard do you think it would be to program a bot to automatically add dlcs from a certain developer into your wishlist? 🤔

On steam*

I collect dlcs for ets2 and ats. But when new ones are announced ill see it on like youtube or blog on phone and think yeah ill add that when i get to pc. Yet by the time i get to pc i forgot so id like to make something where when scs release dlc for ets2 or ats its automatically added to my wishlist 🤔

[modern radish]

Something like that would be possible and the difficulty depends on your knowledge on how to deal with APIs. Steam has a full documentation for their Web API right here: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/sdk/api.

Adding a new item to the wishlist for example would be a POST request to https://store.steampowered.com/api/addtowishlist

That would be my preferred approach. You can then run the "bot" in the background on your PC or on an external system like a cloud server so you won't have to worry about anything anymore

[ember canyon]

Perfect! In 3 days time my course has a module explaining everything to do with apis so perfect timing thank you 🙂

[ember canyon]

in my room i dont have room for multi monitor setup right?

yet 1 monitor was not enough for coding

so i got meta quest 3 and im using this app called "immersed"

now i have 5 70" monitors XD

and im in my living room using wireless keyboard and mouse with tv on and then monitors around the tv XD ultimate setup fr. coding so much easier like this than on my 1 monitor actual setup

but now its got me questioning i wonder how they were able to develop an app like this because there is 0 lag between it and i can move between the screens flawlessly just as if they are actual monitors

[ember canyon]

this was the most difficult challenge i've done

Education github?

Also hope you get good result from your work 🙂

nah just student pack

free github pro & copilot and some other things i cant remember

[azure stratus]

Github Student Pack is unbelievably great

The DigitalOcean credits were awesome

[ember canyon]

hmm

[azure stratus]

And I used the Frontend Masters credit to learn Rust

[ember canyon]

i applied primarily for copilot

[ember canyon]

Nice then

[azure stratus]

I like copilot for tedious work, but I tend not to use it

It’s not all that great especially when it interrupts your workflow

If I’m writing wrappers for APIs, it tends to be super helpful for picking up on the structure and saving me a lot of boring writing when I’m doing all the variable assignments

I also just leave it turned off to avoid any academic integrity issues

[fresh scaffold]

helps with documenting functions too

[modern radish]

[uneven nimbus]

Mine got accepeted

it got accepted immediately, just waiting for the benefits now

how much does github student cost?

/ are there requirements to sign up for that?

[ember canyon]

its free lol

https://education.github.com/

i have to be a student though?

[ember canyon]

its called a student pack for a reason?

[summer gyro]

😂

[ember canyon]

Is a simple question. Github could have their own education program so when you enroll you become a github student. Could be a student through self learning or a traditional college.

Idk why it was such a difficult question to answer and why you had to try make me feel stupid for asking it. Lesson learnt dont ask anything here.

i linked you to where you can learn more about it than i would be able to tell you

[glass vine]

Could have said: you can learn more here

[ember canyon]

why else would i link it?

[summer gyro]

😂😂

[ember canyon]

apparently jetbrains have a student pack too

which can be activated using github

[azure stratus]

They do and it’s great

I use IntelliJ quite regularly

Same with Datagrip, PyCharm, CLion, RustRover and a bit of Fleet

Good evening, I would like there to be trucks on Modded TruckerMp with flames coming out of the modded trucks for more realism pls.

Great of you for making a suggestion, this just isn't quite the right channel for it! A potentially better place would be the Suggestions page on the TruckersMP forum :)

[glass vine]

scam

[drifting imp]

Hello... I'm in need for some pointers

TruckersMP is able to have its own windows in game, and so far I have no idea how it does it. I do know about the github project, and what I want to do is this:

1. I can read telemetry data from the SCS telemetry API,
2. I want to show some of this data in game without having to switch back and forth between my console and the game,
3. which means I want to be able to have a window of mine in game displaying this data as I read it.

I have not a clue right now as to how do to 3. As to languages, I do python and Java if that's of any relevance. Where in the source code of the github project should I look to see how it's done? If necessary, well, I'll learn a new language...

[cinder spear]

It'll be significantly easier to implement as a custom overlay similar to Steam or Discord and you might consider using something like Overwolf that already provides a programmable overlay. It's something you'll need to look into yourself though, I have no direct experience with Overwolf and can't endorse it.

[glass vine]

Overwolf has trucky right?

[cinder spear]

trucky uses it yes

[drifting imp]

OK, that's a good starting point. I will look up Overwolf then

But then how does TruckersMP do what it does? It seems to override a lot of what the basic ETS2/ATS binary does but defers back to it when it needs to... Will the github code give me hints as to how it's done?

(for some definition of "a lot", of course)

[drifting imp]

I'm not sure I like overwolf that much to be honest; it looks like an ecosystem suck-in

[ember canyon]

bloatware

[drifting imp]

It does seem like it, yup

I don't like the "smell", or "feel", of it at all

Also, JS only as a language? no thanks

I need to find something else

[lapis barn]

implement cef to game

and write ui with html and js

[opal arch]

As if implementing CEF is easy

[lapis barn]

or rmlui

[opal arch]

RmlUi ftw.

[opal arch]

In short; we hook the render pipeline. Before the frame ends, we capture the pipeline state, render our GUI, and restore the state back. If you have no experience with C++ and rendering, I would strongly advise to avoid doing so. While I am not a fan of Overwolf either, it is probably the easiest solution for you.

[cinder spear]

here's one implementation: https://github.com/mumble-voip/mumble/tree/master/overlay

[drifting imp]

I do have experience with C++; overlay, however, no

(my job is on the server programming side of things, I never touch anything graphics, but if I have to learn, I will)

[drifting imp]

I meant rendering; and anything graphics in general

[opal arch]

Take a look at what 3v shared. That is pretty much what we are doing.

[drifting imp]

OK well, time to read some more

[opal arch]

There is a community plugin base that hooks D3D11 and OpenGL of the game to render custom ImGui overlay:
https://github.com/Hary309/hry-core/blob/master/src/Hooks/D3D11Hook.cpp

[plush plover]

Hello, I try to customize tmp the launcher but every time I restart it makes me an update and removes me if I did, is there a docs for his?

[cinder spear]

you need to put things in the _mod folders to do your own versions

[plush plover]

files installation ?

[cinder spear]

the data folder in installation path yes

[plush plover]

installation -> data -> ets2 ?

[cinder spear]

https://forum.truckersmp.com/index.php?/topic/106450-how-to-change-truckersmp-ui-images-and-cursor/

but use this instead of programdata

[plush plover]

perfect !! thanks you ❤️

[wispy marlin]

What this do ?

[graceful belfry]

well -nointro probably skips the intro cutscene on opening the game, the other things my guess is buffering size allocation and other things

[cinder kayak]

The rest probably limits the RAM the game can use, iirc.

You shouldn't use them, if you don't know them.

[cinder spear]

increases the limits yes

[quick light]

GUYS why when i click on the server I go on the main page of the original game?

[ember canyon]

and what does that have to do with development?

[summer gyro]

Some people just can’t read channel names quite funny.

[violet tulip]

if you are starting looking at Overwolf, you might consider to look into the new Electron Overwolf platform. but you will have to face a main obstacle: Overwolf doesnt provide game events for ets2\ats as it does for other AAA games with their built-in GEP so you have to implement something in C++ to send data from the telemetry plugin to the app

don't understand why, but ok 😄

[glass vine]

i just refuse to learn to code, don't have the patience to check everything if something is wrong

[violet tulip]

you can disable the autostart. that's why they worked for the last year on a different solution, the new framework wont need to have Overwolf installed but just the app

no, with the new framework you won't have even Overwolf installed, at all. no background processes, no other softwares installed

[glass vine]

when did that happen? cuz yesterday i had to install trucky again and overwolf needed to be installed

[violet tulip]

Trucky has not been ported to the new platform. is my task for the 2024 🙂

is a long story, when Trucky started as overlay program there was only Overwolf offering such powerful and easy-to-go solution for injecting overlay in-game without having to deal with c++ and hooking into directx.
Other than the "simple" overlay injection, Overwolf provides also API for recording the session with an internal OBS (is how the replay feature works), there are also other tools and quick API they offers joined with games, and lastly, offers to monetize the applications using their Ad network (which is mainly their principal business model)
over the time Trucky is grown "a bit" than being a simple overlay app and being on Overwolf make a lot of things way easier

someone may not like the concept but i talk every day with them, a team backed of nice people and awesome developers

yes, i'm the creator 😄 not only the developer ahahah

but yes, their solution is simply plug and play: we tried at the beginning to go with an c++ hooking solution but we didnt have much knowledge to go in deep so we switched on overwolf, i'm a webdeveloper myself so not having to deal with c++ is fresh air (or the minimum i have to for the telemetry plugin)

[opal arch]

I feel like this is the same discussion as native applications vs Electron. You balance between the time necessary to develop features and between possibly better performance/more possibilities.

[violet tulip]

indeed, is a matter of cost\opportunity

it's also a matter of tech knowledge: for example, how many good devs like Shawn you can find around knowing c++ and dx hooking rathen than web\js\frontend\react developers?

the same for mobile apps, for example: there are many framework now that avoid two develop two twin app for different operating system using web frameworks liek react native, cordoba or flutter

[opal arch]

This is one of the many reasons we are switching to RmlUi from GWEN.

[opal arch]

Thanks for the kind works. But not just D3D11; you ideally want to support all graphics backends. So, OpenGL, as well as promised D3D12 and Vulkan.

[cinder spear]

the system reqs did recently change so even the minimum gpu has support for dx12

[opal arch]

I just said promised 😉

Pavel has talked a lot about D3D12 and its possible improvements for the game.

[violet tulip]

well deserved Shawn, what you guys are doing with TMP is awesome

[oblique gale]

I have a problem, brothers

[summer gyro]

You use redis. I use phpmyadmin

[ember canyon]

phpmyadmin isnt a db

[cinder spear]

and you shouldn't use redis as one either

[glass vine]

what are both?

[ember canyon]

we use mongodb redis for caching

[alpine pier]

Mongodb I don't know why I always have problems. My data is stolen and they say to pay via bitcoin

While my server is secure

[ember canyon]

redis is a KV database to store temporary data for specific amount of time (or permanently), e.g. cache, as an alternative to in-memory cache.
PHPMyAdmin is a web UI to manage your MySQL or MariaDB or whatever db

[ember canyon]

do you happen to leave your connection uri for public?

[alpine pier]

Yes. Only vps connection

Other is banned

[ember canyon]

well, if someone connected to it, means it's not limited to your VPS

and ip whitelists aren't really reliable

[alpine pier]

Bah. Yet even I connect via my local ip. The mongodb software refuses to connect me.

[ember canyon]

well you're not the one asking yourself to pay BTC to get the data back

[alpine pier]

But with vps is good. And i'm the only people to get Access with my vps

[azure stratus]

I remember accidentally replicating the behavior of redis to an extent

Used a local sqlite cache for some repeat call speed and it took me 3 days to be like “wait…”

[ember canyon]

[violet tulip]

check your mongodb configuration: by default mongo is installed listening on all interfaces without authentication, you have to secure it enabling a couple of options in config file. i know it's crazy but the default mongo installation does not require authentication

[daring spade]

what is on the database

[lofty yacht]

You could potentially also use Redis as main db. Its quite frequent these days.

[ember canyon]

common?

[lofty yacht]

frequent*

Sorry 😄

[summer gyro]

Mongodb for the win

[ember canyon]

still a similar meaning

[summer gyro]

Just why would you use redis

[lofty yacht]

Having only one DB simplifies the project.
Quite many projects customers pitched to me so far use redis as main and only DB

And redis is capable to be used as actual DB

[summer gyro]

It is sort of but mongodb is more reliable

[lofty yacht]

What makes MongoDB more reliable in your perspective?

[summer gyro]

Me and my friend used to use redis and it would always fail on us

So we switched and it’s been fine since

[lofty yacht]

Don't want to sound harsh or inpolite, but maybe u used it wrong in some way? Can be a rough start

I never had issues with redis

[summer gyro]

Definitely used correctly

[lofty yacht]

Hmm interesting

I was using redis quite couple of times in professional and private environment, never had issues (except if I made a mistake)

[shadow marsh]

Personally, I only used MySQL (MariaDB) so far and never had any issues.

[cinder spear]

redis is great as a KV cache but it requires quite a lot of configuration to make it a durable and secure primary persistent storage... I'd use something that's more geared towards that out of the box

[summer gyro]

Fr

[lofty yacht]

You need to configure any DB for a proper secure usage in a productive environment (:

[cinder spear]

there's a pretty big difference between "up to 10k changes may be lost if redis goes down unexpectedly" and persistent-by-default, but I didn't even remember the biggest drawback of redis as a primary db in my tiredness last night: it's fully in-memory.

we have a lot more data in our DBs than memory on those servers

[lusty rampart]

Workshop mods ist enable ?

[glass vine]

nope

[summer gyro]

How is this development related

[naive slate]

can some1 help

[shadow marsh]

If you could elaborate in what you need help with we could help you better 😄

[naive slate]

whats the best app to do a custom paint job

[shadow marsh]

How is that development related? Also, depending on what game, #ets2-modding or #ats-modding would fit better for that question 🙂

[ember canyon]

blender

[quick mica]

threw together a quick mod enabler/disabler since i noticed truckersMP checks based on the filename, so adding an "INACTIVE_" in front disables the mod

still gotta add some buttons to quickly disable/enable all mods

[quick mica]

https://github.com/unquenchedservant/TMP_ToggleActiveMods I added an active release, windows only currently

[lofty yacht]

Hi guys,
after some time I decided to do something with Wordpress again.

This time for the VTC I recently joined: https://twl.hakuryuu.net/

Oh yeah, I'm aware that the pics load slow, gotta scale them down a bit 🙂

Any opinions or suggestions what to improve? 🙂

[old root]

is anyone a developer here?

[shadow marsh]

Nahh, I just pretend to be one

[cinder kayak]

[mighty rain]

i wish i was one

[azure stratus]

Same

[summer gyro]

totally agree

[modest portal]

Where does the "ping" in TMP's scoreboard lead to?

[cinder kayak]

I'd say to the Server you are connected to?!

[foggy osprey]

This part just screams ChatGPT generated https://i.doggo.dev/i/HRiT8LJuN

[lofty yacht]

100% of the text is GPT generated 🙂

[foggy osprey]

[shadow marsh]

I was thinking the same, Diego 😅

Doesn't sound natural at all tbh

[chilly shore]

Diegoooooo

[foggy osprey]

[azure stratus]

I think my favorite personal talent (and the only benefit of my research) is that I can immediately sniff out GPT text

[cinder spear]

GPT loves those "furthermore"s

[wild hound]

Hello, I wanted to ask you if anyone understands sdk - telemetry, how can I create my own telemetry and have the speed written to the console. I would like to learn how to do this, but there is not enough information only in the github resource

[lofty yacht]

Yeah I def. have to improve some texts here, thanks alot for taking your time and providing feedback guys 🙂

[modest portal]

SDK for ETS2?

[quiet python]

Some time ago, I came across this repository that provides a quite user-friendly API, but I'm not sure if it works with the latest version of the game https://github.com/kniffen/TruckSim-Telemetry

[modest portal]

Here is the data that the SDK sends: https://github.com/RenCloud/scs-sdk-plugin/blob/V.1.12.1/scs-telemetry/inc/scs-telemetry-common.hpp
For python, you can get a dict of them with this package: https://github.com/dreagonmon/truck_telemetry?tab=readme-ov-file

[silk pecan]

Can anybody tell me how to solve CORS policy issue I am creating small web app using truckers mp api on react but it's showing me api has been blocked by CORS policy

[mighty rain]

you need to make a reverse proxy for TMP api

and add the cors headers on it

you can use Next.js api routes or fetch the data on the server

[silk pecan]

@mighty rain Ohh yeah it's working thanks buddy

[mighty rain]

[weak flax]

anyone understand the goddamn scs sdk?

cause i cant get it to simply sends some rpm data to my js website

[weak flax]

well either way I am getting this when loading my plugin

unable to load: 0000007E

[weak flax]

nvm now its unable to find any required function inside 'Tracky'

[rich igloo]

is anybody good with skinning open def trucks? i got it to work 1 time where the background doesnt show, but ever since that, the template or just plain white shows behind my decals

[mighty rain]

that's be closer to #ets2-modding / #ats-modding

[last sphinx]

can you make this steering wheel in game

or something like it

[mighty rain]

@last sphinx

[last sphinx]

oh ok

[cinder kayak]

Reading is a complicated thing

[mighty rain]

ikr

[small scaffold]

This is not related to developing.

[cinder kayak]

[uneven nimbus]

Why is JavaScript so hard to understand

[azure stratus]

How so?

[shadow marsh]

I can understand it kinda okayish... but writing? hell no

[uneven nimbus]

Because it just doesnt make sense

[uneven nimbus]

I don't understand both

[azure stratus]

It’s usually good to solve those understanding problems one at a time

Read through the docs, start with basic code bases

[uneven nimbus]

I'm not sure where to begin though

Alr

[azure stratus]

If you have a blanket lack of understanding, it’s usually cause you’re just in a bit over your head

[mighty rain]

do you use Python?

[uneven nimbus]

No we've only covered HTML, CSS and JS but those teachers explain it so bad that I don't understand anything or I just can't focus because of it

[mighty rain]

nvm then

[azure stratus]

Codecademy has good annual student discounts and is very project based

[rancid cosmos]

jQuery might help you

[azure stratus]

I feel like this is more of a bandaid, it's best to struggle through learning vanilla syntax so that jQuery makes sense instead of vice versa

May lead to some less than desirable programming later down the line if we understand jQuery but we're like "oh god what does .filter do"

[fresh scaffold]

JS is fine to work with, but the syntax does not work in the backend

I used to be a node fanboy and be like "Yea JS is awesome" but it meant it took ages to get something done

Now when I got introduced to php / laravel, god almighty my life changed.

[mighty rain]

have you seen nest?

[fresh scaffold]

Heard of it, never looked at it

[opal arch]

I feel like this is very subjective. JS does not only have to be React or Next.js, there are other awesome frameworks like NestJS.

[azure stratus]

plus the argument that not every language is suited for everything, if my language has orthogonality for my specific purposes I'll likely still use it to get it done, but I'm also open to learning other languages within reason

I've used it for most things from API design to desktop apps with Electron and it's just something I'm familiar enough with, plus working on a bot in 350+ servers teaches you to be smart about scalability practices

[cinder spear]

JS is awesome

[mighty rain]

Shawn just said what i wanted to say it's similar to what laravel or spring is. I'd say it's closer to spring though.

[cinder kayak]

They go with important stuff in their documentary. I like it

[mighty rain]

[opal arch]

Reminds me of this:

You can do it with multiple strings:

[mighty rain]

lolol

[shadow marsh]

How do you join these two strings then so it will be echo'ed correctly? Since I can just simply do "A String" + "Another String" would output as "A StringAnother String"

[cinder spear]

string concat in php is . not +

[drifting crag]

so what are the main coding languages you use tmp?

js?

[shadow marsh]

That explains a lot then

[mighty rain]

CPP for the game and PHP for the website afaik

[drifting crag]

ye i guess

[cinder kayak]

PHP, specifically Laravel for the Website

[azure stratus]

I should sit down and actually learn PHP

[mighty rain]

laravel is a PHP framework

[azure stratus]

I've really only used the templating

[cinder kayak]

Well.. I heard of people who are good with Laravel, but don't understand basic PHP stuff

[mighty rain]

@shadow marsh not that much of a leak

[azure stratus]

Ah yes, the trap of "I understand the framework, therefore I understand the language"

Awful horrible no good very bad

[shadow marsh]

thats why I put " " to it too 😂

[mighty rain]

ah fair play

[shadow marsh]

that information is not new to me tbh

But thanks for updating something which has not had the need to be updated

[cinder kayak]

For me it's the opposite - I understand PHP but not Laravel

[opal arch]

Assembly x64, C, C++, C#

[cinder kayak]

Pascal

[mighty rain]

oh god

[shadow marsh]

4 different languages? Just for the game? I suppose...

[opal arch]

I am not memeing, we're using all of those languages

[cinder kayak]

[opal arch]

Assembly x64 for modifying the game behavior, C for some libraries, C++ is the main language of the game client, and C# for scripting

[shadow marsh]

Thats..... impressive 😅

And I tried making a MP in Java for OMSI2 - I guess I kinda know now why it failed 😂

[mighty rain]

ngl knowing all that is quite impressive 👏

and actually using it

[opal arch]

If you want to modify a game, you definitely need to use Assembly x64. Then you can use pretty much anything, although, C++ is gonna be the "easiest" imho

[shadow marsh]

Yeah... in the end OMSI2 is definitively not one of the best choices to make a MP out of it 😂 but yeah... I just stay at bot development - at least I know what to do there 😂

[azure stratus]

Assembly is great, probably one of the best languages I've put effort into learning

I did most of advent of code 2023 in MIPS (using assembly alone was already bad enough, wasn't gonna use x86) and it taught me a lot of really low-level patterns

[opal arch]

Doing AOC in MIPS/Assembly sounds like torturing yourself but you do you 😆

[azure stratus]

That was the goal!

It made my computer architecture prof laugh so that made it worth it

[opal arch]

Like, sure, you can learn a lot about low-level patterns. But I feel like you can achieve that with C, too, which is much more bearable

[azure stratus]

It was more an esoteric example of how AOC could be done, forcing me to conserve registers and stuff was a pretty good exercise

Also, oddly enough, I know more assembly than C

[fresh scaffold]

livewire has a place in my heart ❤️

[mighty rain]

its basically javascript

well, comes out as javascript

judging by their docs landing page

[fresh scaffold]

Does all the weird js for me but i get to do it in php

[pulsar jungle]

I prefer Vue over Livewire

[foggy osprey]

Livewire is a gift of the gods

[mighty rain]

nice virus

[summer gyro]

[mighty rain]

YEET

[azure stratus]

GPT didn't actually do a bad job

(minus some custom regex for the dataset answer field)

[warm grove]

How can I get my dedicated server for ats to have optional mods for my users

[shadow marsh]

that's more for #ats / #ats-modding and has nothing to do with coding.. not really..

[tawny storm]

.

[cinder kayak]

[mighty rain]

[shadow marsh]

looks a bit off now doesnt it?

[cinder kayak]

Don't see any issue

[worn pond]

anyone know if Add-On Team Recruitment is now open! is a intern thing or are they paying...lol

[cinder kayak]

They’re not payed. Every position you can apply for is a voluntary thing without any payment or anything else.

[wicked pebble]

i wanted to apply but couldnt

[summer gyro]

How could I go about doing this. I have made a modal to request a role and set it up to send into a separate channel, all working. The embed that sends into that channel has 2 buttons, accept and deny. Id like to have it so on press by the HR team it will give the user the role. What would be the best way of this?

Discord JS v14

[cinder kayak]

Check the roles of the one who clicks the button, I‘d say. If the clicker has e.g. the HR-Role then do the rest, else throw an error message

[shadow marsh]

I fell in love with Discord's Button. Also the Modals are so to work with (Yes, I totally did not make what a simple channel/forum could've done, overcomplicated via bot )

[mossy cloud]

Looks good! Don't forget the space between Suggestion and board in the title 🙂

[shadow marsh]

Oh, right... yeah 😅 Thanks, did not noticed

I wish that you could change the colors of the buttons (except using grey, red and green/blue )

[summer gyro]

I’ve got to figure out how to set my buttons up, so when accept is pressed by hr it will give the role and deny will delete the embed

Got the modals working

[shadow marsh]

Well, I don't have a permission / role check behind a button yet - also you are coding in JavaScript, I in Java, so I couldn't really help you out anyway, however good luck figuring it out

[summer gyro]

[azure stratus]

What's the experience been like with that so far? Always wanted to try it

Also I agree with the color gripe, I just make up for it by setting emojis

[shadow marsh]

Same

Well, later I'll continue with perms... I can keep you updated

[summer gyro]

done it

[azure stratus]

I definitely need to get back into bots

I've spent 10 months on research and basically no time on application

[shadow marsh]

😂

Just start - you'll see where you go

[azure stratus]

Oh I'm well versed enough with them, just haven't had time

[shadow marsh]

😂

[azure stratus]

I should be helping out the team working on getting our bot to run in more than 500 servers without clusters dying

[shadow marsh]

Yet you should just start and you see where it goes applies too then 😛

[azure stratus]

Definitely my first time toying with scalability

I've already optimized our DB but there's still a fair bit of cleanup from prior awful devs

[shadow marsh]

😄

[mighty rain]

discord bots now can have animated avatars

[shadow marsh]

thats neat 😄

[mighty rain]

from what I understand the application owner must have nitro though

[shadow marsh]

yeah, okay that's a legitimate condition ngl

[mighty rain]

iirc extended messages work the same way

[summer gyro]

ah bro

whos good with js here

[mighty rain]

at least they did a few years ago. when the application owner had nitro, the bot was able to send messages with up to 4096 characters instead of 2048

the thinking reply wont work

[mighty rain]

you have to editReply after

[summer gyro]

i tried ```js
return interaction.reply({
content: 'Request successful!',
ephemeral: true
});

[mighty rain]

edit

not reply

[summer gyro]

    if (!BotClient.ModalsData[button]) { return;}

    const ModalData = BotClient.ModalsData[button];
    if (!ModalData) { return; };

    return ModalData(BotClient, interaction, MusicPlayer);
    }else{
    if (interaction.isModalSubmit && !interaction.isCommand()){

        const submittedModalId = interaction.customId;
        if (!BotClient.ModalsData[submittedModalId]) { return;}

        const ModalSubmittedData = BotClient.ModalsData[submittedModalId];
        if (!ModalSubmittedData) { return; };

        return ModalSubmittedData(BotClient, interaction, MusicPlayer);
    }
    }

    if (!interaction.isCommand()){return};
    if (!interaction.isChatInputCommand){return};
    if (BotClient.SlashCommands[interaction.commandName] == null){return};

    return BotClient.SlashCommands[interaction.commandName](BotClient, interaction, MusicPlayer);
});

[mighty rain]

😉

[summer gyro]

for this yes?

👀

[mighty rain]

your isModalSubmit lacks ()

[shadow marsh]

Jesus christ

[summer gyro]

listen

mans not as good as u

[mighty rain]

currently it will always be truthy because the method is always there

thats probably why you added an isCommand check

[summer gyro]

let me test this

[mighty rain]

and this

[summer gyro]

oh dear

i am nub

[shadow marsh]

I always have to do that or just event.deferReply(true).queue();, then the bot sends out the thinking message

[summer gyro]

hmmmm

[plush plover]

good job ❤️
personally, I created a system with the vtlog software, so that we receive our deliveries on discord via my bot, and the information of the VTC TMP and VTLog

[summer gyro]

Ooh Yh

[summer gyro]

I’ll figure it out then use it but now I’ve just made it so when they click gain role they’ll get it

[plush plover]

it’s already a good start in real life, personally I think create a public bot for the various VTCs with the TMP api, VTLog

[summer gyro]

I’m going to stick with developing for RCS.

[mighty rain]

that's what I'm doing

[modest portal]

Hi, where can i find a detailed ETS2 map? (better with TMP's modifications, not needed) I'm trying to do a program in python using truck-telemetry, that saves the position when I hit ALT+C to save a video. I want the coordinates to be shown on a map, where the video was taken

[modest portal]

Found it: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53340379618_5f0a0aee23_o.png

[mellow dirge]

Hey, I want to know if STEAM Deck owners get a small app to join the TMP.

[mighty rain]

afaik TMP won't work on steamdeck

[shadow marsh]

If it's windows I don't see an issue

As long as you have an internet connection

[modest portal]

The ROG Ally is windows, that might work, Steam deck isn't, it's Linux based

[cinder kayak]

Only if you install Windows on the Steamdeck

[violet tulip]

can have Steamdeck also with windows,tho

[mighty rain]

didn't know that was possible

[cinder kayak]
