Virtual Trucker Rich Presence

Version 2.7.7

An easy tool to let others see your current job, truck, etc. using Discord Rich Presence!

Here's our Discord server for support: https://discord.gg/Zt49WDH

Your image will change on the rich presence depending if your lights are on.
ETCARS 0.15.386 is required for the RPC to work, older versions will not work.
THIS VERSION INCLUDES ETCARS 0.15.386, YOU MUST DO A FULL INSTALL FOR THIS TO WORK

Things to note!

TruckersMP has their own Rich Presence which needs to be disabled in MP Settings!
Due to a few problems with previous ETCARS, you will need to install ETCARS 0.15.386 from our installer.
Promods isn't supported currently but there are future plans for supporting it.
IF YOU HAVE ETCARS INSTALLED, PLEASE REINSTALL IT WITH ONE INCLUDED WITH VT-RPC!

Supports Euro Truck Simulator 2, American Truck Simulator and TruckersMP.

Why there is a VBScript in this project?

We need RunHidden.vbs to run a packaged node.js app windowless in windows. So, the application is launched from that vbscript.
