ancient anchor

do you get an error

warm bluff

Is there a way to stop rich presence if the user is idle, ive tried rpc.setActivity() but you end up with this:

carmine mica

setActivity() then kill the process

warm bluff

as in rpc.destroy() or process.exit() because ive tried killing the rpc client but it still leaves the rich presence there. and I cant kill the node process

carmine mica

if its open it will continute to say its playing

warm bluff

👍 thanks!

mint dew

is it possible to add more fields to the rich presence

ancient anchor

:^)

mint dew

@ancient anchor thats a very useful and relevant reply to my question

ancient anchor

i added a tonne of bird reactions

then someone removed them i guess

mint dew

thats also very useful to my question thanks very much!

past laurel

How can i get my ClientID for make me a RichPresence?

scarlet aspen
past laurel

But its not working

I do that

On the ready event the console log "ready" but dont add me the RichPresence

@scarlet aspen the name of the application have to be a specific name?

scarlet aspen

The Name of the application is that

past laurel

Si if i want "Playing Studio"

THe name of my application have to be "Studio"

?

scarlet aspen

Yes.

past laurel

OHH

xD

And the "Studio" have to be in "details" of the RichPresence?

@scarlet aspen Nothing change

const Discord = require("discord.js");
const DiscordRPC = require("discord-rpc")
const moment = require("moment")

const ClientId = '394198437001822220';

const rpc = new DiscordRPC.Client({ transport: 'ipc'});

rpc.on('ready', () => {
    console.log("Je suis ok !")
    rpc.setActivity({
        details: 'Application Name',
        state: 'xd',
        instance: true,
    });
});

rpc.login(ClientId)```

There is my code

@scarlet aspen What i do wrong?

ancient anchor

everything

mint dew

why is my node reading -0.1 as NEGATIVE_INFINITY

wanton spoke

Thonkang

ancient anchor

what

lol

we won't ban you, we'll wonder why you're here and why you're saying that in this channel Thonk

Thonk isnt there server for discord py

worthy ginkgo

How I can stop the rich presence?

wanton spoke

ctrl+c?

worthy ginkgo

No :/

instance: true, <<

wanton spoke

you may have an old node process running

run taskkill /f /im node.exe in your command prompt

fresh mortar

hey, is there a way I could get a user's id through RPC?

fresh mortar

preferably without having to authenticate anything

ancient anchor

why dont you just use the discord client and right click them

fresh mortar

because it will be in an application?

app starts on user's machine, needs the id of the currently logged in user

plush pumice

you can’t

worthy ginkgo

How I can set a NodeJS process in the tray? (The icon in the main bar will be not showed)

@mint dew :: You can't star your own messages.

flat herald

I want to have a nice rpc on my client

How do I start?

scarlet aspen

Look at the example.

flat herald

Im looking

I don't get it

normal basin

It's simple as hell

Just a few lines of code

flat herald

...

normal basin

Just look at some open-source rpc applications

tall wasp

if you dont get it, look at the done example

if you still dont get it, read discord docs

flat herald

@normal basin, a link?

tall wasp

look at the github of it

notLikeMiya

flat herald
normal basin

GOOGLE

tall wasp

yes

and if you dont get it look at the discord docs of rich presence

flat herald

Now I get it

ancient anchor

Smh

smoky scroll

So rpc is for like music stuff

carmine mica

its for a lot of stuff

smoky scroll

what else can a bot do in a voice channel?

carmine mica

rpc has nothing to do with voice channels

smoky scroll

i mean like with a discord bot rpc would be used for muisc?

plush pumice

not playing music

carmine mica

no

bots can't use rpc

plush pumice

displaying what you're listening to etc

carmine mica

¯_(ツ)_/¯

plush pumice

like this

carmine mica

maybe

you could set up a server

between the bot

and your rpc app

but that seems annoying

smoky scroll

looks cool

plush pumice

or this ¯_(ツ)_/¯

carmine mica

thats uggo

mine looks good

smoky scroll

what is urs

carmine mica

better

plush pumice

yours doesn't have emojis

tough moat

Without emojis it looks better imo

carmine mica

^

plush pumice

FeelsSharkMan

smoky scroll

someone knows how to put "elapsed" in an RPC?

mint dew

startTimestamp

smoky scroll

and where would i put that?

mint dew

inside the rpc

smoky scroll 
rpc.on('ready', () => {
  console.log(rpc)
  console.log("ready");
  rpc.setActivity({
    details: `Editing: index.js`,
    state: 'Workspace: Discord Bot',
     largeImageKey: 'plaintext',
     largeImageText: 'plaintext',
     smallImageKey: 'visualstudiocode',
     smallImageText: 'Visual Studio Code',
     startTimestamp: 0, 
    instance: true,
  });
});```

probably done this wrong

not familiar with rpc

wanton spoke

provide a startTimestamp with no endTimestamp

make the startTimestamp new Date()

smoky scroll 
const startTimestamp = new Date()

like that?

wanton spoke

sure

smoky scroll

got it to work

thanks

ancient anchor

@smoky scroll are you making a separate rpc thing for each workspace to get a look like others?

It's literally a public add-on for VSCode

smoky scroll

i got one

thanks though

regal reef

no prob

jade python

How do I make a spotify rpc?

tall wasp
  1. learn javascript
  2. look at Discord Rich Presence Docs
  3. look at RPC docs
  4. ???
  5. Profit
mint dew
  1. Code it
plush pumice

look at examples

carmine mica

all disgusting

wanton spoke

yeah, at least be a decent human being and use dims

carmine mica

this is the best spotify one

wanton spoke

imma ban you for self advertising

plush pumice

wow :(

sinful rose

Getting Error [RPC_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT], discord (canary) is open, added nodejs as a game then launched it and nothing

mint dew

nodejs isnt a game Thonk

elder axle

How do I get my bot to message a specific user? Without them messaging it first.

ancient anchor

ur in the wrong channel

but client.users.get('id').send()

elder axle

Can I get their ID from their full username? Or is that what it is?

ancient anchor
elder axle

Doesn't really explain it

steady sparrow

He's telling you this isn't where to ask for that type of support.

This channel is for supporting users of the discord-rpc library, not for bots

ancient anchor

mhm

carmine mica

@sinful rose your app and discord have to run with the same elevation

elder axle

So I can find the username through the newbie-lib?

sinful rose

forgot to say im on linux and both apps are running under the same user, i'll try running node w/ sudo to see if it helps

carmine mica

o

on linux it doesn't matter

i've just only seen that issue on windows

which has retarded elevation rules

sinful rose

okay lol

gotta go though

remote elk

Hi guys, Its gonna be the first time I'll use RPC for the rich presence and I was wondering if it is possible to use both the RPC and the main library ? and if yes, how to do it ?

The aim would be to assign myself a rich presence

mint dew

you dont need the main lib to assign urself the rich presence

remote elk

yes, but I need it to use my selfbot commands etc :/

carmine mica

its separate

completely separate

as long as your selfbot doesn't send any presence stuff you're find

remote elk

Okay, so I've got to create a "true" app on the dev center that isn't a botuser right ?

carmine mica

it can have a bot user

just scroll down and click "enable rich presence"

remote elk

okay, thank you

mint dew

DID I HEAR SELFBOT

remote elk

then when I've setted up Rich Presence on the app / bot, do I have to make a fake App to hook it ?

@mint dew You "read" selfbot 😉

mint dew

still

selfbot

carmine mica

fake app?

mint dew

Gus why tf are you helping someone break the discord ToS FeelsTenseMan

remote elk

like do I have to use the C library they putted on their Git or ?

carmine mica

i'm helping them with rpc

not their selfbot

replace that id with the id of your application

then from there its pretty straight forward

remote elk

is that rich presence used with the RPC instance or the real one ?

I do not understand how it "know" that I'm playing that thing 🤔

carmine mica

you run it

put that code in a file and run it

remote elk

Hoooooo ok I understand

correct my if I'm wrong:
I run an RPC instance on my account (token etc) then at this moment, Discord already know I runned that app and I only need to update the settings using the discord-rich-presence ?

smoky scroll

rpc connects to your discord client.. the code you have on there will change your client's presence

mint dew

yeah no need to use your token at all

unless you wanna get banned for selfbotting

remote elk

Then I do not understand the structure:

const clientID = '187406016902594560'; does that refers to the "app" client ID or the user client ID (me) ?

mint dew

app client ID

remote elk

so how can it know its "me" playing that game ? '-'

smoky scroll

its where teh assets are coming from

carmine mica

client id

smoky scroll

it hooks into your discord client

carmine mica

user client id isn't a thing

client ids are just for applications

remote elk

ok 🤔

Ok I've got it (I think)

Because of the scopes, when I will authorize the app to access the RPC scope of my account, it will put the game up ?

smoky scroll

u run the code and have ur discord client running

ur game goes on

simple

mint dew

you no has to authroize it

remote elk

Yeah that's simple if I only have to run, but I want to understand how it makes the connection between us :/

smoky scroll

it hooks into your process, just like how discord finds out what game youre playing

its the same thing

it gives you a game to play, except you code what it sends

remote elk

Imagine, I'm running the RPC app on a server so it never stop working, how will discord know that its my Rich Presence they need to update, because they have to reference to me '-'

(Sorry if I'm bothering you guys, maybe my questions are stupid but... I want to understand it)

carmine mica

it doesn't run on a server

it runs on your pc

it connects to your discord client

smoky scroll

it was said like 3-4 times it goes with ur discord client

remote elk

yes, that's where I was lost, because I planned to run that all on my server :/

But its ok, I'll run it on my PC gonna be easier

remote elk

Mission accomplished, thank you guys 👌

sturdy bobcat

Okay, im a newbie, just trying to get this work never used rcp yet. The example doesnt seem to work

const params = new URLSearchParams(document.location.hash.slice(1));

oh wait wrong library, but with the discord-rich-presence one what is the id?

this is my error from the example

plush pumice

the id is your client id created on the applications page

sturdy bobcat

okay

so if i want it to show my playing game, how would that work?

like, use rich presence for myself

okay, i made it work, but how do you add a picture?

plush pumice

add an asset in your application

sturdy bobcat

didnt work

sturdy bobcat

@plush pumice what to do with the Asset?

oblique gorge

Deliver the asset to the rendezvous point for extraction.

sturdy bobcat

what?

plush pumice

^, what?

are you using discord-rich-presence

or discord-rpc

sturdy bobcat

discord-rich-presence

plush pumice

then in updatePresence you have largeImageKey: 'snek_large', smallImageKey: 'snek_small',

sturdy bobcat

yes

i put my asset there

but it didnt work

plush pumice

are you sure you put the right format

like largeImageKey is a large image in the app

sturdy bobcat

i know

ookay now it works

forgot a capital

😃

rip

sturdy bobcat

Can you use Rich presence on a bot?

plush pumice

no

sturdy bobcat

Okay

plush pumice

carmine mica

8.1+

don't listen to randos

tall wasp

oh?

dont know that you use the real new shit there Gus

sad

smoky scroll

ah okay, i'll update my node and try it

tall wasp

tbh just stick with 8.9.3 the LTS atm

should be good

smoky scroll

when i upload the add the image and then upload my asset the image doesn't show up. any idea why?

i've tried different images. it's still not working

carmine mica

sometimes it takes a bit of time

smoky scroll

oh okay

smoky scroll

it's been around an hour and it's still like that

any suggestions on what i should try?

smoky scroll

ah i see, thanks for letting me know 👍

const DiscordRPC = require("discord-rpc");

it logged "ready", looked at it on other pc (diff. account) and the rich presence status wasn't there.

carmine mica

make sure you add the game

glass crow

Thonk

carmine mica

make sure it detects that your game is running

scarlet aspen

Had the same issue

glass crow

Oh

scarlet aspen

And adding the game fixed it

glass crow

Progress

now it pops up with the info

time to figure out how to configure it to my liking

short bluff

I've got rich presence working, but I have no clue where to start with actually controlling the client

I have an rpc_token but I can't figure out how to get the lib to accept that

carmine mica

?

client.login(id, { rpcToken: whatever })

short bluff

Error [RPC_CLIENT_ERROR]: 4009 Token does not match current user ?

Oh

I see what I'm doing wrong

sturdy bobcat

try just this

const client = require('discord-rich-presence')('your app token');
 
client.updatePresence({
  state: 'test',
  details: 'test',
  startTimestamp: Date.now(),
  endTimestamp: Date.now() + 2900,
  largeImageKey: 'test',
  smallImageKey: 'test',

oops

wow

my discord totally didnt show all the answers

and i get this UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 5): TypeError: (Date.now(...) - EPOCH).toString(...).padStart is not a function

and nothing happens

tall wasp

update node.js to latest LTS

zenith edge

i updated still nothing

carmine mica

@zenith edge what version are you on

zenith edge

8.9.4 lts

carmine mica

should be good then

zenith edge

I updated every dependency, electron, discord-rich-presence but still getting the same error in console

btw tried to put the code both in main and in the renderer process

zenith edge

What do I do??

tranquil iris

is that largeImageKey the name of the image w/o file extension

tall wasp

@zenith edge could you run node -v in your console?

carmine mica

if you're running in electron its probably on like 7.x

check process.versions in the electron console

zenith edge

I did run node -v and it returned v8.9.4

carmine mica

if you're running in electron check the version of electron

zenith edge

Ill check process.version tomorow, thanks for help

carmine mica

electron bundles its own node

ancient anchor

what's node Thonkang

brb gonna go neck because im in wrong channel

warm geyser

Sorry for my noobie question, but how does one set Rich Presence from d.js?

plush pumice

read the example

auto npm discord-rich-presence

night sequoiaBOT
warm geyser
plush pumice

you don't use discord.js to set rich presence

either discord-rich-presence or discord-rpc

warm geyser

Ok, welp, R.I.P. Thanks tho! I'll try it out

Okay, how does one get someone's token without logging in with a token?

plush pumice

WaitWhat

mild ruin

?token

pure onyxBOT
mild ruin

you mean that?

warm geyser

Yeah

tall wasp

you would need to use a selfbot what is against ToS shrug

since bots cant use RPC

plush pumice

i don't think simply logging with a user account is against the TOS

just a user account responding to commands, from anyone or the user

tall wasp

it is

ancient anchor

if it annoys discord that bad why dont they somehow block people logging in to user accounts with bots ¯_(ツ)_/¯

plush pumice

oh :/

warm geyser

All I wont is my Atom package to set my rich presence to my workspace name and the currently file I am editing etc

plush pumice

then why do you need a token

ancient anchor
warm geyser

I said without a token

ancient anchor

1 google search

jfc

warm geyser

I tried atom-discord, it does not work for me

And I kind of want to create my own

ancient anchor

then read its code

warm geyser

Which does not work

For me at least

plush pumice

what doesn't work

warm geyser

Atom-Discord doesn't even set any richpresence to my account

not for me atleast

ancient anchor

did you actually add it as a game

as it says to do

warm geyser

I added Atom

which was as much as I understood

I am on a Mac, does that matter?

Got it working...

nimble crane

lol

carmine mica

don't use atom-discord's code as an example

its pretty shit

For anyone using electron with discord-rpc you might get errors cause its running node v7 lts

I don't get this error on my VPS though, only on my PC. Does anyone know what's up with that?

I've managed to get it working in the end by temporarily disabling SSL verification, but obviously that's not a proper solution...

carmine mica

that has nothing to do with my rpc

hasty river

Well, all other packages I've tried install normally, including discord.js.

I have no idea what the cause is, but the end result is that it kept me from installing discord-rpc. :/

Yes, I have tried reading the error. That's why I was able to get around it by temporarily disabling git's SSL verification...

I mean, what kinda question is that?

carmine mica

neet

smoky scroll

reinstall git

and use mono certs

unless that's not a hit error

git

hasty river

I'm not sure what you mean by "mono certs", tbh.

uncut sapphire

Hey, stupid question, I am trying to use the RPC and it shows on my account but when I check an alt it doesn't show the RP on my account. No errors are given.

Does anyone know why this would happen?

Ahh I didn't even see my node was out of date. I will update and see

No luck. Any ideas as to why it would come up on my screen but not my alt's?

What I see

What my alt sees

carmine mica

your app can't be named spotify

here's one a friend and i made

uncut sapphire

Ahhh

Thanks Gus

I kinda wanted to make my own

Which is why I asked. I will rename it tho. Thanks for the info

Yay it works. Thx HEART

Also I met rose a while back in discord bots. They are really nice. Haven't seen them since tho

carmine mica

they

oh

i thought you were talking about multiple people

uncut sapphire

Nahh

I just don't know their gender and didn't want to be rude

carmine mica

rose is a she

uncut sapphire

Ahhh

Good to know

Also again, seriously great work on the rpc. It's really well done

tranquil iris

in Snek's RPC, what does that require('something/otherthing') mean in the dep name

carmine mica

huh?

@tranquil iris

tranquil iris

like const discordrpc = require('discord-rpc/browser')

whats the / about

carmine mica

its a path

require('discord-rpc') resolves to node_modules/discord-rpc/src/index.js

require('discord-rpc/browser') resolves to node_modules/discord-rpc/browser.js

tranquil iris

Ah, I see. I'm trying to figure out how you did it. Package.json is a bit ambig. theres also no Browser.js in the root

carmine mica

its created at publish time

so its not in the repo

in fact its in the gitignore so that it can't be pushed to github

how could i fix invalid client ID?

do i have to register my id anywhere?

first time in RPC

/* eslint-disable no-console */

const DiscordRPC = require('discord-rpc');

const ClientId = '261805872332800001';

DiscordRPC.register(ClientId);

const rpc = new DiscordRPC.Client({ transport: 'ipc' });

async function setActivity() {
  if (!rpc)
    return;

  rpc.setActivity({
    details: `test`,
    state: 'test2',
    //largeImageKey: 'later',
    //largeImageText: 'later',
    //smallImageKey: 'later',
    //smallImageText: 'later',
    instance: false,
  });
}

rpc.on('ready', () => {
  setActivity();

  setInterval(() => {
    setActivity();
  }, 15e3);
});

rpc.login(ClientId).catch(console.error);

Thats my code 🏧 ... and the error is

{ code: 4000, message: 'Invalid Client ID' }

noble pond

the client id is the id of your application

not your user ID

clear flint

so i have to create a new application

and the name of it will be the "playing name" on discord rich presence?

@noble pond

noble pond

yes

clear flint

what scopes do i have to use for oauth

only rpc or also rpc.api?

or isnt this even necessary

noble pond

you don't need oauth

clear flint

ok

noble pond

the only thing you need to do is create a rich presence application, get the client ID of it and set assets

clear flint

ok

thank you very much

noble pond

np

clear flint

@noble pond

const client = require('discord-rich-presence')('401670249801449494');

client.updatePresence({
  state: 'testing',
  details: '🐍',
  startTimestamp: Date.now(),
  endTimestamp: Date.now() + 1337,
  largeImageKey: 'test_test1',
  largeImageText: 'test1'
  smallImageKey: 'test_test2',
  smallImageText: 'text2'
  instance: true,
});

Using another package of devsnek called discord-rich-presence

so i uploaded all assets with names:
for large i use test_test1
for small i use test_test2

but it just doesnt want to work

is there smth i am doing wrong?

i see

nvm

ok but now i get the error unexpected identifier for test_test2

but i uploaded it to discord-rich-presence assets...

hmm

Hey, so I'm aware you can get the 'listening to' while using RPC by using discord.js as a selfbot and setting up your acitvity type, which is what I tried to do but without success., it just shows the RPC as 'playing'.
Any example or guideline on how I can achieve this ? Thanks.

smoky scroll

what are the rpc ratelimits

just like, all of them

smoky scroll

You can't use things other than playing for rpc

Dunno about rate limits except one activity per 15 sec

i know but like

take osu for instance

my game

[picture]    osu!
             AFK

changing game rates,
changing picture rates,
and changing status rates(afk)

any call to rpc in terms of changing activity is 1 call per 15s

ok

but what about the others Thonk

what others

picture and game

thats the same as changing activity

oh

ok thanks bella 💜

smoky scroll

So I have this one issue with discord-rpc, mainly, in my Electron app I am calling rpc.setActivity (where rpc is a DiscordRPC.Client and DiscordRPC is the library).

So, I pass a new Date to the setActivity function, and when I run my Electron app, I get the following error:

[Unhandled Promise Error] TypeError: (Date.now(...) - EPOCH).toString(...).padStart is not a function
    at Function.generate (C:\Users\redacted\work\Dino\node_modules\discord-rpc\node_modules\discord.js\src\util\Snowflake.js:35:56)

I tried removing the timestamp from setActivity but it still throws this error. Any help?

woaahhh dino dev??

sorry

it seems like there are lots of people with questions about rpc, but almost no one who can answer them 🤔

only 1 person actively maintains rpc

is that you?

nop

o..

@obsidian ridge

shit

@obsidian ridge

??????

but this is a really desirable feature. you should maybe find more people who can help with support for it

ok i give up

cant force people to do it if they dont want to

o,

glossy fulcrum

I nominate num for support

smoky scroll

oh.

can someone at least tell me how to use rpc first

still have no clue how to even run code that uses discord-rpc module

glossy fulcrum

there's one example

have you looked at that?

smoky scroll

yeah

don't know what context that block of code is supposed to be run in though

it has node.js require(), but also includes random DOM methods that don't make any sense outside of electron

so not sure how i'm supposed to use that Thonk

i know like basic support but i dont know about actual lib inconsistencies. @carmine mica error a bit above please, guy pinged helpers

can someone please just tell me where to paste the example code pls

do i run it in node or

clone repo, run npm i, then run npm run example

oh npm.

is there some way for me to make my own stuff though

yeah, u can edit the app file thats inside the example folder iirc

like without using npm run example every time

oh

pretty much just electron stuff, as far as the example goes

wait so you can use electron stuff in node??

uh, yeah, require electron

WHAT

this is off topic now

just look at the repo 👀

woah can I simulate a browser then too?

oh.

o7

carry on the discussion in general, literally stop posting here

carmine mica

what

glossy fulcrum

@smoky scroll is your version of electron up to date?

smoky scroll

gus, was to the guy that pinged helpers, not hard to see

I'm on 1.6.13

glossy fulcrum

Thonkang

then I'm confused

smoky scroll

not oudated node?

glossy fulcrum

oh

smoky scroll

My node.js is on 8.9.3

glossy fulcrum

electron is on node 7.9

lul

smoky scroll

well padStart is only available from certain node version and above so if it says you dont have it then the only thin gi can be lead to believe is that your node version isnt up to date, but, i guess i may be wrong

obsidian ridge

@smoky scroll hint

Just copy paste gus's id

smoky scroll

yea i did later

obsidian ridge

Lul

smoky scroll

just shouldnt have happened to begin with

obsidian ridge

Ya but this is discord xD

It'll take them forever to fix this bug

Anyways def not rpc talk so peace

carmine mica

@Lewdcario#0448 no i meant like

fuck

@smoky scroll no i meant like what was going on

why was i pinged

something about outdated electron?

smoky scroll

the dude that pinged helpers

they were telling who develops the rpc thing./

he has an error message, you own the lib, im sure youd know how to fix it

carmine mica

isa you told someone they can require electron in node

grr

smoky scroll

not the issue here

fix his issue

carmine mica

who

what

smoky scroll

THE DUDE THAT PINGED HELPERS

notLikeThis

carmine mica

(Date.now(...) - EPOCH).toString(...).padStart is not a function

update to a version of node that has padStart

end of story

smoky scroll

oh okay so wasnt wrong in the node version thing

if I can't require electron, how do I use DOM stuff Thonk

carmine mica

you can require electron when your code runs in electron

smoky scroll

wonder what this means then

carmine mica

if you're just running in node you don't have a dom

isa

wtf are you smoking

smoky scroll

what??

?????

carmine mica

my example code runs in electron

smoky scroll

yea im aware

carmine mica

not node

smoky scroll

but @smoky scroll said that you just paste the code in node

wait

ok i was wrong

carmine mica

oof

smoky scroll

what?

so no one really knows how to even use rpc at all then

carmine mica

i wrote and maintain the rpc lib

i know how to use it

smoky scroll

omg thank you

i know how to use it, but i dont know shit about electron

carmine mica

require('electron') only works in electron

which uses a custom build of node

but i don't call that node

smoky scroll

ok please tell me lord snek

ok so node is relevant here

where do I paste the example

so i wasnt completely off the mark

dude

clone repo

npm i

npm run example

carmine mica

i need to make another example

@smoky scroll does the package discord-rich-presence fulfill your needs

smoky scroll

there has to be some way to interact with rpc module without npm run example

carmine mica
smoky scroll

umm-

carmine mica

there's an example on the npm page

you can paste that into a js file

and run it with node

smoky scroll

ohhhh thank you thank you thank you

carmine mica

👍🏻

smoky scroll

do I need to npm install electron

then?

carmine mica

no

electron isn't needed

smoky scroll

oh.

carmine mica

the example just uses electron cuz rpc is generally intended to be used with games and shit

smoky scroll

wait how are you using DOM methods then??

oh.

well that's pretty unclear on a npm page

carmine mica

huh

smoky scroll

to use electron?

carmine mica
smoky scroll

-- oh.

carmine mica
smoky scroll

OH

so if I wanted to do my own thing, I would just run electron app.js

or something like that?

carmine mica

no

if you wanted to ship with electron

you would bundle it

into a proper app

smoky scroll

??? wh

carmine mica

just forget about electron

you aren't using it

just know that its basically chrome + node.js

smoky scroll

oh, okay

but when I tried running the example in electron, it said "require is not a function" Thonk

so does it not have all the node.js features or?

carmine mica

you ran it wrong then

smoky scroll

what happen

@carmine mica yea I'm still not sure how to run this example from the docs

carmine mica

you can't run the "browser example" in node

smoky scroll

well, it didn't work in my browser. 🤔

carmine mica

oh Jesus christ

it's intended for webpack

smoky scroll

what??

wow, ok.

carmine mica

can't you just use the discord-rich-presence module

smoky scroll

umm, sure I guess

carmine mica

you cant use any of the other rpc features

smoky scroll

oh.

carmine mica

they're whitelisted

smoky scroll

o, ok understandable

alright so discord-rich-presence works, is there any documentation or anything for using it @carmine mica?

carmine mica

the example

that's all it does

smoky scroll

that's all the fields you can use?

kk, got it

and then I'd set up my own application and paste the ID in there if I want something custom

carmine mica

yea

smoky scroll

i assume

kk, thanks :D

how do i set up rpc

because i want to set the status so it is playing a twitter account and for the picture it has the twiter profiles pic

smoky scroll

look at the example

rough thicket

"For now, RPC is in a private beta, which means that only apps that have signed up and been approved can access it."
Does this mean I can't create my own RPC applications or?

noble pond

you can create your own RPC applications

rough thicket

Okay phew 😅

thannks

👍

Are there better docs for d.js RPC?

I don't see anything for RPCCleint.setActivity()

Those don't seem to have full documentation?

scarlet aspen
rough thicket

That's not documentation though WaitWhat

That's an example

scarlet aspen

I gave you an example just to look at if you don't know how it works.

Taht documentation is missing parts. Ex RPCClient.setActivity()

It also doesn't provide what RPCClientOptions could be

14:51:43 - error:  Error [RPC_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT]

Is there any reason why it just timeouts when logging in?

could be permissions issue

@rough thicket can we talk through the bug from the start

without all whatever the fuck this conversation was

rough thicket

Okay, so in the channel desc, there's an example.

If you run sudo npm run example the login of the RPC client times out

Figured it out

smoky scroll

it's because of elevation

the example runs as root while the client runs as the logged in user

same thing as on windows

hallow dust

The file needs to be ran on the account's machine? Like I wouldn't be able to run my rpc.js on my server?

hoary citrus

do I have to check for ratelimiting myself or is there a protection implemented in the library?

rough thicket

Personally I just did the same interval as in the RPC example, but RPC works off your clients local host RPC server iirc so no rate limits to worry about afaik

modern coral

i need all models **npm i -S hydrabolt/discord.js
**

smoky scroll

whats this got to do with rpc

hoary citrus

ah I forgot to specify that I'm working with rich presence

so idk if there are rate limits about how often you're allowed to update the status

main imp

Hello, how can I test Rich Presence with websocket connection? I've read this is a whitelisted feature, but I've expected this to work with my own app

My code:

console.log(DiscordRPC);

const CLIENT_ID = '409446468651450368';

DiscordRPC.register(CLIENT_ID);

const rpc = new DiscordRPC.Client({ transport: 'websocket' });
const startTimestamp = new Date();

let times = 0;

rpc.login(CLIENT_ID).then(() => {
    rpc.setActivity({
        details: `booped ${times} times`,
        state: 'in slither party',
        startTimestamp,
        instance: false,
    });
});
hoary citrus

hey I have the same problem rn

main imp

I wonder if it's a library bug (because it says 'invalid origin'), or it shouldn't actually work

I think I should try to build discord-rpc module myself to figure that out, but... 🤔

hoary citrus

I used webpack to build it and I'm also trying to use it in a chrome extension background script

it's in there but I didn't know OAuth2 was needed for that

my guess is, Rich Presence is only possible with IPC instead of WebSocket?

main imp

It should be available with ws without approval for testers from Discord, I guess

What do use to make chrome extension with Webpack? I found too hard way, I think

hoary citrus

the way Rich Presence is currently set is via IPC which is essentially a local TCP socket

and I don't think that will work in a Chrome Extension

so there would be the need for some kind of node.js daemon running communicating with the extension

main imp

I don't want to set up a daemon 🤔

hoary citrus

yeah I don't want to either

main imp

Maybe if I specify origin in discord-rpc's code, it will work

hoary citrus

nah that's not the problem

main imp

Error says 'Invalid Origin', so I think I should try to modify code

hoary citrus

for using the WebSocket it expects you to be authenticated via OAuth2

but I have no idea if there is any way for doing an authenciation process in a chrome extension

main imp

I think there is a way

hoary citrus

since it doesn't accept the chrome-extension:// Protocol as Origin

main imp

But I don't think that's necessary

You can intercept loading of a blank page I think

hoary citrus

the problem is that any website could just set your Rich Presence

if that would be allowed

using WebSocket without authentication for setting Rich Presence that is

main imp

But there are browser's cross-domain rules

I don't think they would allow connecting to ws://localhost

hoary citrus

Discord's WebSocket server probably sends CORS headers

cause otherwise it would be useless

since it's supposed to be used in web apps too

main imp

Oh, I should to set Origin header myself

And in app settings

hoary citrus

you can try it but I doubt it will change anything

I think IPC and WebSocket in discord-rpc are two completely different protocols for two different use cases

smoky scroll

rpc would be kinda bad if it allowed remote manipulation Thonk

hoary citrus

yeah that's what I'm saying, if rich presence is able to be changed via websocket, it needs authentication

but I don't even think it is able to change it

smoky scroll

well i guess remote manipulation is the point

but ye

main imp

@hoary citrus I think that's not full list

smoky scroll

not super familiar with rpc but to my knowledge you typically use it over ipc

main imp

Because I don't see that this list doesn't apply to IPC

And using IPC you can actually set rich presence

hoary citrus

ok seems like Rich Presence in the browser has to be whitelisted by Discord staff themselves

thus the Invalid Origin error

main imp

I found that one can specify origin when creating client

I'll try this now

main imp

It looks like it's indeed not possible to use this with current library version.. even if I specify origin as localhost that doesn't work. I don't even see where should I set expected origin in app settings on discord dev panel

Origin still unmodified

hoary citrus

pretty sure chrome overwrites the Origin header

maybe this could work

but according to the README of this (https://github.com/devsnek/discord-rich-presence) library which is officially linked on the discord repo it's not possible to use Rich Presence in the browser without being whitelisted by Discord staff themselves

but this might only be true for regular webpages and not extensions which have "superpowers"

main imp

I didn't try to make a request with modidied origin actually, just tried to help lib to do that

Actually that wasn't overwritten by chrome, just lib didn't pass that

hoary citrus

it would be overwritten anyway

main imp

Maybe if one tries to do separate XHR from background page, that would work?

I'll try something tommorow, I should go sleep I guess Thinkeng

Did you see any ipc proxies on github?

hoary citrus

all of this seems pretty complicated to me for a rather simple task

main imp

I'll write one I think

hoary citrus

webRequest API by Chrome might be possible to use

idk how it handles ws://

wanton spoke

its a websocket protocol why do i just come into conversations like this

main imp

I think it's not possible to use ws with that 🤔

Well, I think I'll leave now, prepare to sleep

Ping me if you find something out

hoary citrus 
chrome.webRequest.onBeforeSendHeaders.addListener(
    function(details) {
      for (var i = 0; i < details.requestHeaders.length; ++i) {
        if (details.requestHeaders[i].name === 'Origin') {
          details.requestHeaders[i].content = "your origin" // idk if it's 'content'
          break;
        }
      }
      return {requestHeaders: details.requestHeaders};
    },
    {urls: ["<all_urls>"]},
    ["blocking", "requestHeaders"]
);```

kinda like this

copied from chrome extension docs

problem with OAuth2 Flow in Chrome Extension still stands tho
