I have a friend (have to ask her on that 😨 ) which I wanted to wish happy birthsday to, in a unique way so I knew she sometimes plays Euro Truck Simulator 2 (This should also work on American Truck Simulator, although I didn't test it) and I am familiar with that game (actually playing it) so why not write a nice message to her in the game
- Download game SDK from here: https://github.com/RenCloud/scs-sdk-plugin/releases/download/V.1.10.5/release_v_1_10_5.zip
- Extraxt the zip and copy stuff into your game/plugins directory
for x64 systems copy everything from Win64 folder into
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Euro Truck Simulator 2\bin\win_x64\plugins (create the folder if it doesn't exists yet)
for x86 systems copy everything from Win32 folder into
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Euro Truck Simulator 2\bin\win_x32\plugins (create the folder if it doesn't exists yet)
- Run ETS2-MeM.exe
- Enable Developer options (if you want to change the time, or wait til 0:00)
- Launch Euro Truck Simulator 2 and start the game
- Wait til 00:00 (12AM) or use console and type g_set_time 0 00 to set the time to midnight
If you want to costumize this, then edit ETS2-MeM.exe.Config
and change
<add key="HappyText" value="Your white colored thext" />
<add key="BirthdayText" value="Your Yellow colored text" />
<add key="CakeImage" value="YourImage.png" />using SCS-SDK Plugin to get game time using Direct3DHook to be able to hook into DirectX Video and draw on screen
Borrowed some code from ets2-local-radio as I first saw the possibility to draw on screen right in this project
