[Suggestion] Shipping Node 18 with the release bundle

[ninh-nd]

To avoid the issues people may encounter because up setting up Node by themselves incorrectly, why don't we just attach the Node binary together with the release bundle?

Indeed it's a good idea, thank you for your suggestion. I will create a Google Drive folder for this.

I didn't want to install node on my windows machine, and the app won't work on linux, so here are the steps to run it without installing node:

• Download portable node from here https://github.com/crazy-max/nodejs-portable/releases/download/2.10.0/nodejs-portable.exe
• Run the app, press 1 to install node, when it asks for a version input the latest one from here https://nodejs.org/download/release/latest-v18.x/ in my case it is 18.18.2
• Close the app
• Download or clone this git repo https://github.com/pierre-josselin/payday-2-ultimate-trainer-6/archive/refs/heads/main.zip and unzip it under the directory work
• Open the node portable app again, select 2 (option shell) and confirm selection
• Input cd payday-2-ultimate-trainer-6-main (it might fail if you're in the directory already or if it has a different name)
• Input node index.js install
• Go to Payday 2 mods dir (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\PAYDAY 2\mods), create a new directory with any name you want, for example ultimate-trainer-6, inside this directory put the file mod.txt and the directory payday-2-ultimate-trainer-6-mod which you downloaded from the previous step. Final result is ...\PAYDAY 2\mods\ultimate-trainer-6\mods.txt and ...\PAYDAY 2\mods\ultimate-trainer-6\payday-2-ultimate-trainer-6-mod\...
• Input node index.js run
• Open game and it should work

You might see an error of node not found while in game but it still will work, just ignore it
