truckersmp-cli is an easy to use script to download TruckersMP and start the game afterwards.
It can install and update the windows version of
American Truck Simulator (-a, --ats) or Euro Truck Simulator 2 (-e, --ets2)
with steamcmd (-u, --update) and handles starting (-s, --start) the mod
through Proton aka. Steam Play (-p, --proton) or Wine (-w, --wine).
It needs a working Steam installation for starting through Proton or to update the game files. It will stop all running Steam processes while updating to prevent Steam asking for password and guard code at the next startup. When using standard Wine you should start the windows version of Steam first.

- Stable and faster than wined3d. But slower than DXVK.
- Useful if you're not using Vulkan-capable GPU.
- Used by default.
- Faster than OpenGL when DXVK is used.
- DXVK requires Vulkan support.
- DXVK 1.4.6 or newer is needed because older versions have rendering issue. If you're using Proton, use 4.11-10 or newer.
- Windows native 64-bit
d3dcompiler_47.dllis needed. This is not needed for singleplayer.- Without native DLL, TruckersMP login screen will not be shown.
- When
-c(--activate-native-d3dcompiler-47) is specified with-s(--start),truckersmp-clidownloads/activates the DLL. - Once the DLL is activated, no need to specify
-coption again.
- Proton uses DXVK by default.
- When using Proton, wined3d can be used by specifying
--use-wined3d, but it's not recommended because this is slower than OpenGL.
- When using Proton, wined3d can be used by specifying
- Used only when
--enable-d3d11is specified.

Note: Make sure Wine Steam is running in the same $WINEPREFIX!
$ ./truckersmp-cli -esw
Note:
- While the prefix for Wine will point directly to the prefix location,
Proton uses a subfolder
pfxfor the actual prefix and points to the parent folder. - Your prefix must be 64bits, the mod is not 32bits-compatible.

- Every time
steamcmdis used the Steam client thinks every Proton game has an update with 0 Bytes. ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux#5644 - If Steam is running while
steamcmduses the same session credentials the Steam client looses all connections and asks for the password and the guard code at the next startup. This script closes all Steam processes before acting withsteamcmdso starting an update with a shortcut out of the Steam client won't work because Steam waits for the script and the script waits for Steam.

Just clone this repository wherever you want.
You can build the executable on Linux, in fact the executable provided has built on a Linux machine. Just install mingw-w64 and then
$ make
I was greatly inspired by mewrev's Inject tool and TheUnknownNO's unofficial TruckersMP-Launcher.
Amit Malik's article on dll injection was also a great help.
