Protil

About

Protil /prah-til/ is an Echo Arena API data visualizer for Windows that can be used for both PCVR and Quest, developed by shersal and SupaStav as a fast, portable, C/C++, mode of processing API data. The install link can be found here, the source code repo can be found here, and the link to the discord can be found here for support and important data.

Install

Protil only supports Windows at the moment.

1. You can download the installer here
2. Extract the downloaded zip, and enter the extracted folder and run autoupdate.exe
3. Once the installer is complete, it should have generated a folder called EchoUtil. Enter the folder and start EchoUtil.exe

Echo Util is an arbitrary name used as a placeholder for Protil. When Echo Util is referred to it can be taken as referring to Protil.

Make sure you enable API access in Echo VR to use this program. You can find instructions on how to do so below.

Make sure you are showing your current game as your status message in Discord. This can be found in Settings > Game Activity.
