ETS2 John - Your buddy for ETS2 and ATS

[Koen]

Good day,

This topic will be the home of ETS2 John, a collection of tools to enhance the ETS2 and ATS driving experience.
These tools will unlikely be mods, but more external programs that read game data and act on that.
You'll need ETS2 Telemetry Server to use these tools.
It will be one set of ETS2 John, but they can be used independently.

Anyway, let us get to the tools themselves.

The first one:
Your butler: http://www.mediafire.com/download/b2dym ... John+2.zip
Together with either VoiceBot or VoiceAttack (or some other program), you can use this to create your own Siri.
My own config for VoiceAttack is included, together with a readme and a program called "ETS2 John terminal", that takes a parameter and speaks a message combined with game data.

Enough text, a video: (My voice cannot be recorded by two applications at the same time, but image me talking )

Watch on YouTube

The second one:
A variation of the default skin for ETS2 Telemetry Server. When you're speeding, it starts flashing red and beeping (sound does not always work on mobile devices).

I'm more than happy to take suggestions. If you want John to learn more sentences or something, please let me know.

Interesting choice of names. Do you mind if ask why you chose "ETS2 John"?

[Araripe]

Nice! I am also curious about the name

[R0adrunner]

That's an interesting idea. Especially the "speed-beep" makes perfect sense to me. Can we use the ETS2 Telemetry server Mobile Dashboard at the same time with your mod?

[SimulatorSam]

Great job!

I'm (obviously) not the author of this, but I don't see why not. The telemetry server is designed to listen to multiple devices at a time, so I would be very surprised if it cannot handle multiple clients.

Going by the replies, I see I am not the only one thinking the OP wanted toilets in ETS2.

I have made something similar to this almost 2 months ago except mine says "YOU ARE OVER THE SPEED LIMIT"
if anyone wants to download it goto www.seahaventrucking.com/downloads the source code is included in the download

I wasn't, because there are toilets in ETS2. Look near the Recruiters Offices and Construction sites. I was thinking about something else. Think about it, you'll figure it out... [ external image ]

Sorry for the relatively late response... I expected some kind of messages when the post got accepted, but perhaps I've just become lazy

Well, I knew somebody would ask

The quick version:
In rFactor, my spotter is named John (default name)...

Then I created a voice control system for ETS2 (using VoiceAttack).
I created it like Siri, ie. first having to say "Siri" before saying any commands. Well, he became John.

Then I created this little program, and was thinking of a name. Since my voice control was already called John, I figured: "Why not call this app ETS2 John?"

So, that's why ETS2 John is called ETS2 John

That's an interesting idea. Especially the "speed-beep" makes perfect sense to me. Can we use the ETS2 Telemetry server Mobile Dashboard at the same time with your mod?

Yes. Basically, the way ETS2 Telemetry Server works is that it outputs a lot of data. Every app can then use that data. That means that you could (in theory) use a million apps simultaneously with ETS2 Telemetry Server
(And in practice: I use both at the same time as well)
