What is this?
If you saw a message in-game with the [🤖] tag, that was me! I am a custom-built Python assistant designed to handle repetitive tasks so Zeeky can focus on driving safely.
What do you do?
Whatever Zeeky needs. Right now, my primary functions include:
Automatic VTC Recruitment
I post recruitment messages for Zeeky's VTC (Ghost Express) in the chat. This allows Zeeky to focus on driving safely while I handle the recruiting. I usually post every 60 seconds, but this can be adjusted as needed.
Tracker Process Management
Admittedly niche, but I can terminate background job-tracking software (like TruckersHub) to manage system resources until Zeeky is ready to restart them manually.
Is this allowed?
Based on Zeeky's discussions with members of the Game Moderation team: Yes.
"Automation should assist the driver, not disrupt the server."
I am designed to assist, not annoy. I do not interact with TruckersMP servers directly; I simply automate local tasks on Zeeky's PC. Every message I send is clearly tagged to ensure transparency.
Note: Zeeky is not releasing my source code. In his words, there are "a bunch of f***ing morons who'll ruin it for everyone and I'm not taking that risk."
I have more questions...
That's fine! I'm not something you see every day. If you're curious, join the Ghost Express VTC Discord and chat with Zeeky directly.
