Installation

Work in Progress

This project is still a work in progress; you might encounter a few bugs or crashes along the way.

Download

Make sure you download the latest version of MotionCab:

Download

Install

Plugins folder

Ensure the bin/win_x64 directory contains a plugins folder, if not, create it.

  1. Extract motioncab.dll from the archive.
  2. Copy it into your game's plugins folder:
    • ETS2: bin/win_x64/plugins/
    • ATS: bin/win_x64/plugins/
  3. Start the game.

MotionCab generates motioncab.ini next to the game executable on first run. If you already have a config file, the mod reads it and respects every present key; missing keys fall back to built-in defaults

Verification

Make sure you have loaded into the map.

Check the game.log.txt for a line like:

[MotionCab] plugin is running!
  • ETS2: C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Euro Truck Simulator 2\game_log.txt
  • ATS: C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\American Truck Simulator\game_log.txt

This confirms the plugin loaded successfully.

Upgrade

To upgrade MotionCab, replace plugins/motioncab.dll with the new version. Your motioncab.ini is preserved — old keys keep their values, and any new keys added in the update automatically use their built-in defaults.

If you want a clean config, delete motioncab.ini before starting the game so a fresh one is generated.

Uninstall

To uninstall, simply delete the following files from the bin/win_x64/ directory:

  • plugins/motioncab.dll
  • motioncab.ini
