i keep getting this error :

TypeError: rpc.SetActivity is not a function

[wanton spoke]

most javascript libs are camelCased including this one

use setActivity

[smoky scroll]

OO

it works thanks

[arctic eagle]

Hey, I have a slight problem. Here is my error:

TypeError: Cannot read property 'fetchAssets' of null```

and here is my code: 

```js
function init () {
  rpc.login({ clientId }).catch(console.error)

  rpc.on('ready', function ready() {
    rpc.application.fetchAssets().then(function doIt (assets) {
      assets.forEach(asset => {
        console.log(asset.name + asset.type)
      })
    })
  })
}```

Everything RPC related works fine, but I cannot fetch the application's assets.

[arctic eagle]

Come on <@&265426791538229258> help me

This isn't RPC related.
Use the following link to generate an invite for your bot: https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=CLIENT_ID&scope=bot&permissions=0 CLIENT_ID
Change the permissions number to a permission bitfield you want, but it doesn't mean it'll come with those permissions, as people can disable them.

Is RPC example still working? When I run npm run example the script appears to work, but I do not gain any rich presence in discord

It just gives the generic "Playing Electron for xyz"

[smoky scroll]

what is discord-rpc?

?rpc

[turbid olive]

stands for rich presence client

[smoky scroll]

?discord-rpc

?docs discord-rpc

[fresh crag]

@smoky scroll read channel topic

[smoky scroll]

oh

rich presence

[fresh crag]

@lone totem i will have a look into it
even tho differening on my time i might only be able to view it on saturday

[lone totem]

@fresh crag thanks

that was a useless ping, sorry

[fresh crag]

@lone totem Okay i will actually have a look into it rn

seems fine for me

[lone totem]

Could it be something with osx? @fresh crag

[arctic eagle]

Try restarting Discord

[lone totem]

I did multiple times

My VScode rich presence was screwing with it somehow

[fresh crag]

@smoky scroll not discordjs rpc related

[smoky scroll]

oof i forgot sorry

[dapper island]

Hello. Got an unusual circumstance

I'm working with DiscordRPC within electron and I am getting a transport undefined error.
However the transport is clearly defined
const richPres = new DiscordRpc.Client({ transport: 'ipc' });

[lone totem]

I'm having a weird issue with the example. I transferred the files to a different directory to test them with my code.
It all runs fine, except for the renderer.js file

So the html displays and it looks fine, but the snake isn't interactable

[fresh crag]

@lone totem how did u open the html

[lone totem]

Same way the example has it. Defined npm start as electron main.js

The html shows though, just the snake doesnt count up/react on click

[tender cosmos]

oooo

also same

[rich fjord]

@dapper island were u able to dodge issue #41? cuz i have the same problem

[dapper island]

I created a workaround

[rich fjord]

how

[dapper island]

Instead of loading it in a script within electron

I have the renderer call the JS in the webpage

[rich fjord]

oof

lmc

@dapper island fine i guess i'll wait for actual bug fix

[smoky scroll]

Hi i try discord RPC but if i connected, i am a mistake :
Error: OAuth2 Error: invalid_request: Missing redirect URI.
how fixed this mistake ?

my code

  const {Client} = require('discord-rpc');
  const client = new Client({ transport: 'ipc' });

client.on('ready', async () => {
  console.log(client.user);
});

client.login({
  clientId: clientId,
  scopes: ['rpc', 'rpc.api', 'messages.read'],
  clientSecret,
}).catch(console.error);

[smoky scroll]

Help me pls ?

[heavy wolf]

How to set image ?

I have a code but don't work

[smoky scroll]

Send the code

[fresh crag]

@smoky scroll you cant use the messages.read scope without a restrict url

[smoky scroll]

@fresh crag i delete messages.read but always error

{ code: 5000,
     message: 'OAuth2 Error: invalid_scope: unknown error' }

[fresh crag]

@smoky scroll just leave the scopes part away then

[smoky scroll]

yes but after i want user spectate a game with discord rpc, style osu

[fresh crag]

what scopes are u using rn

[smoky scroll]

I dont know so i test

[fresh crag]

With wich ones do u test

[smoky scroll]

just with me, i create a game with nodeJs client and i try add extension discord rpc on discord for join and spectate a game

[fresh crag]

@smoky scroll What is in the Scopes variable rn

scopes: [....]

[smoky scroll]

scopes: ['rpc', 'rpc.api'],

just delete messages.read

[fresh crag]

Error code

5000

5000OAuth2 Errorsent when a standard OAuth2 error occurred; check the data object for the OAuth 2 error information

U defined clientSecret right

[smoky scroll]

clientSecret is define

[fresh crag]

Can u try without it

If it doesn't work add it back and make sure it's right

[smoky scroll]

it's fine

else how used :
matchSecret spectateSecret joinSecret

bc on https://discordapp.com/developers/applications/:id/rich-presence

matchSecret dont exist

[brittle panther]

was directed here

not sure if this is really a lib question, but here goes anyways

this image (what i see) shows 5 hours elapsed, but it should only be like 30 seconds

{ top: 'Node E-4 D',
bot: 'none',
large: 'none',
small: 'none',
timestamp: '1537142492124' }

i do divide the timestamp by 1000 to make it in seconds. also i think that other people != me see this showing up correctly, but i myself dont. how to fix this problem?

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/223867697312694272/491036406966386689/unknown.png

on mobile and other peoples' clients it shows up fine

[smoky scroll]

FUCK

[brittle panther]

?

[carmine mica]

@brittle panther you don't get presence updates for yourself

[lone totem]

Is not updating presence for the user a limitation of rpc? Or something else?

[lone totem]

I found my issue with the renderer.js

Something about

webFrame.setZoomLevelLimits(1, 1);```
was killing it

replacing it with this fixes it. No idea why the example doesn't break with the same code

webFrame.setVisualZoomLevelLimits(1, 1);
webFrame.setLayoutZoomLevelLimits(1, 1);

[brittle panther]

@carmine mica but it worked at first when i was coding it; only after using it for a few days did it become like this

[fresh crag]

@brittle panther seems like discord bug

[brittle panther]

oof

[plucky cargo]

So umm how can i catch if the user closed Discord? (completely) or does that not work?

Or how can i "automatically" reconnect to the presence if you restart Discord?

[brittle panther]

if u get that error about unhandledpromiserejection i think that means they closed discord

[smoky scroll]

Noob question : what scopes is used for ? I don't understand how they work

[plucky cargo]

As i know it basically tells Discord "I want to access this and that from the user"

[smoky scroll]

oh ok thanks

[plucky dirge]

how create passport npm, oauth2

[brisk gull]

can someone explain me what discord rpc is and a use case?

[fresh crag]

@brisk gull channel topic

[brisk gull]

Nah, I already looked at it, and I don't get it

[plucky cargo]

@brisk gull Rich Presence is a way to show what you are playing in Discord, it also allows for cool features like spectating, joining their Party etc, you can see a lot of examples like League Of Legends, Fortnite and many more

[fresh crag]

Remote Procedure Call (RPC) is a protocol that one program can use to request a service from a program located in another computer on a network without having to understand the network's details. A procedure call is also sometimes known as a function call or a subroutine call. RPC uses the client-server model.

[plucky cargo]

Any way to properly catch if Discord was closed? Or would i just run the .login function in an interval?

(to automatically reconnect)

[drowsy coral]

hey, is there a way to turn off rpc without closing app?

[plucky cargo]

You could clear the presence with .clearActivity() or you destroy the RPC with .destroy()

[drowsy coral]

theres a clearActivity() ?

[plucky cargo]

yep

[drowsy coral]

ooh

[carmine mica]

@plucky cargo good question

it looks like I only handle closing during login

can you open an issue on the github

[plucky cargo]

K

[drowsy coral]

uh { code: 4000, message: 'No Client ID Specified' }

heres what i have https://hastebin.com/tomanucafi.js

[smoky scroll]

look at pin

[drowsy coral]

oh thanks

still getting the same error though

[smoky scroll]

whatd you do

[drowsy coral]

changed
rpc.login(clientID).catch(console.error) to rpc.login({ clientID }).catch(console.error)

[smoky scroll]

clientID

clientId

[drowsy coral]

oh

thanks so much

[smoky scroll]

👍

[cobalt wadi]

Expected output: Starts the rich presence
Output: err
Error( s): js { code: 4000, message: 'No Client ID Specified' }

Code (config.json): json { "richpres": { "clientId": "censored", "noConsolePrompt": "false" } }
Code: (rpc.js): ```js
const DiscordRPC = require("discord-rpc");
const config = require('../config')

const ClientId = config.richpres.clientId;

DiscordRPC.register(ClientId);

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

module.exports = rpc;```

Code (main.js): ```js
const rpc = require('./rpc')
const config = require('../config')
const ClientId = config.richpres.clientId

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

//I wanted to keep this small, so i reduced it to the code that i think matters instead of having 200 lines of code```

This should, start the rich presence as everything is defined.

[smoky scroll]

ClientId

could literally read a line before your post for the answer

[cobalt wadi]

Ive read it over multiple times

[smoky scroll]

clientId

u dont have login

[storm sable]

rpc.login({clientId: ClientID}).catch(console.error);

Same err

[drowsy coral]

rename your var ClientID to clientId

then have { clientId } for your options

also why does your setactivity have a , 2000 as the end

[storm sable]

Same err

Whatever i change

const clientId = "id"
const rpc = new DiscordRPC.Client({ transport: "ipc" })

const setActivity = () => {

rpc.setActivity({

can you even read your own code

ffs

we're not here to teach you how "discord" is spelled

i played around with discord rpc a bit and stumbled upon the following error: ReferenceError: URLSearchParams is not defined. Source code is mostly copied from the example (https://discord.js.org/#/docs/rpc/master/general/welcome). URLSearchParams appears only to be available in a browser, while i want to run it in node.

(My source: https://gist.github.com/65679b1fa38bda42292eb0a4375e995a )

[carmine mica]

URLSearchParams is a global in node

iirc >= 10

oh that might be a mistake. ty ill try that

yeah im still on v8

node v8.9.1 not v8 the engine

You could probably try a workaroundish method which would be all inputs set to null and updating them after an input by e.g. changing a variable and updating the presence

to be sure

you're running the rpc on the same computer that your client is on right

Hmm, I'm trying to get rich presence game invites to work, but the invite says the game isn't detected. I'm using Electron and the IPC transport. Any ideas how I can fix this?

[smoky scroll]

are there no typings for discord-rpc?

its possible to run rich presence without discordapp installed?

like in phone

[rocky trellis]

no rich presence is PC only

[covert raven]

I am currently having problems when I Authorize my app:

forget everything I just said

[static token]

Hey quick noob question, I'm not sure if this fits here though...
Would it be possible to read what game someone is playing or what they're doing and do something? For example something like:

ok

[remote yoke]

I published an npm module for registering an application protocol for any electron apps https://github.com/samuelmaddock/electron-discord-register

[remote yoke]

@craggy oyster you have to call login on the rpc client

[craggy oyster]

aahh

forgot about that

[remote yoke]

https://github.com/discordjs/RPC#browser-example

scopes aren't required for electron

[craggy oyster]

i added rpc.login({ appId }).catch((err) => { return res.innerHTML = <h3 style="margin-bottom: -10px;">Response</h3><br /><pre style="color: red">${err}</pre>; }); and i still get the same thing though

under setActivity, should it be above?

oh

i think

ok i forgot ready event

now it odenst erorr

but my presence is also not updated

maybe its cuz i try to do it iwth a button

and i have nothin about rpc in my main file

[craggy oyster]

@remote yoke would u know why

[remote yoke]

setActivity() also returns a promise

catch that and log the error

it's picky about what values you can set, so it might be a validation error

[craggy oyster]

okay

it didnt return anything, i tried setActivity(structure).catch(console.error)

[remote yoke]

you're waiting until the ready event callback to invoke setActivity()?

here's my implementation if it helps https://github.com/samuelmaddock/metastream/blob/discord/app/browser/vendor/discord.ts

[craggy oyster]

i am

  Client.on('ready', () => {
    Client.setActivity(structure).catch(console.error)
  });```

but ill try to change some stuff

[remote yoke]

use rpc, not Client

[craggy oyster]

okay so rename Client to rpc

[remote yoke]

you want to use the instance of Client which you created

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

[craggy oyster]

i already cahnged that part

to just const discordrpc = ...

https://hastebin.com/lemeqepata.js ok so now i have this, but iget no errors or anything, all that logs is the structure

i think its jsut the btn

[carmine mica]

hello

[craggy oyster]

Hello snek

It's somenthing with my button i think

yes it is!

It works fine if i do it in my main file

[carmine mica]

you can't start calling stuff before you're logged in

[craggy oyster]

So you cant put like a field with client id in it in a form?

[silent inlet]

hi ! Can we use the RichPresence to made a join request on form/discord? I've currently a bot, with it we moderate 2 discord servers and game realms (21). I would like create an automated process for recruiting new mods. I'm currently looking at RPC which can be really cool to open/close positions painless.

Then, i would like know if this kind of usage is possible and if it's against any discord rule.

[carmine mica]

if you can do it with the exposed api its probably fine

What is the difference between the IPC Transport and the WebSocket Transport?

[opal sand]

How can I check if an RPC client is logged in or not?

Specifically, I'm building an electron system tray app with two options for presence for two different games, but when I click the an option after having clicked the other one, the presence does not change. I'm suspecting that I'd have to do <RPCClient>.destroy()if the client is logged in before doing <RPCClient>.login() for the other presence.

const contextMenu = Menu.buildFromTemplate([{
        label: "None",
        type: "radio",
        click: () => RPC.destroy()
    }, {
        label: "Presence",
        submenu: [{
            label: "Ball Blast",
            type: "radio",
            click: () => {
                register("509134492212920320");
                RPC.destroy();
                RPC.login({ clientId: "509134492212920320" }).catch(console.error);
            }
        }, {
            label: "Captivator",
            type: "radio",
            click: () => {
                register("510261009647140864");
                RPC.destroy();
                RPC.login({ clientId: "510261009647140864" }).catch(console.error);
            }
        }]
    }, { role: "quit" }]);```

But, doing that returns this: bash (node:10831) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: TypeError: Cannot read property 'write' of null

[fresh crag]

@quaint sapphire its 2 diffrent transport metods u can read abaut them online

[quaint sapphire]

@fresh crag I looked at the API docs and I didnt see anything about it. I looked for a while. Would you mind just telling me?

[fresh crag]

IPC - Inter-process communication
In computer science, inter-process communication or interprocess communication (IPC) refers specifically to the mechanisms an operating system provides to allow the processes to manage shared data. Typically, applications can use IPC, categorized as clients and servers, where the client requests data and the server responds to client requests.

So node.js talks to the Discord Client trough Windows

Websocket is over network so nodejs makes an webrequest to discord ( for whitelisted applications only )
@quaint sapphire

[quaint sapphire]

So is there any advantage to getting whitelisted to use a Websocket? @fresh crag

[fresh crag]

Yes

[quaint sapphire]

What are they

[carmine mica]

@quaint sapphire using a websocket is only needed if you're a website

the other thing that whitelisting does is give you access to additional rpc scopes

by default you can only do no-scope rich presence

[quaint sapphire]

Okay, thanks.

[vapid nexus]

Sorry, I didn't understand what this was meant for.

What is rpc? What do people use it for?

[smoky scroll]

check channel topic

[vapid nexus]

I have

The docs don't make it clear what this is.

And there's nothing in the example github page that would tell you either.

[steady sparrow]

Pretty sure this was in the channel topic at some point: https://discordapp.com/developers/docs/topics/rpc

[cobalt wadi]

Is there any reason this should be giving me a Invalid client id? Code: ```js
const Discord = require('discord-rpc')

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

let ID = 'ID'

rpc.connect({ clientId: ID }).catch(console.error)```

ID has been replaced with the applications actual client id btw

[arctic eagle]

try rpc.login({ clientId: ID })

[cobalt wadi]

oh..

Right

Too used to eris

[novel oar]

how do you know if ```For now, RPC is in a private beta, which means that only apps that have signed up and been approved can access it.

im in it^

??

[arctic eagle]

If you signed up and received an email, which you didn't most likely. Rich Presence is still allowed, but the features like joining lobbies and stuff are in a private beta @novel oar

@tawny nova https://www.npmjs.com/package/@types/discord-rpc have fun

[tawny nova]

@arctic eagle THANK

[fallen condor]

If you haven't signed up and been approved, you can't use it.

I'm not sure, I've never even tried, I'm just going off of what I've seen, maybe try google or something.

[arctic eagle]

@white shard give me the code you use at rpc.login, including the id (IDs aren't sensitive)

[carmine mica]

@smoky scroll call setActivity after you login

e.g. in the ready event

[boreal stream]

    if(id == '') {
        document.getElementById("ifMissed").innerHTML = "You have missing fields."
    } else if (state == ''){
        document.getElementById("ifMissed").innerHTML = "You have missing fields."
    } else if(details == '') {
        document.getElementById("ifMissed").innerHTML = "You have missing fields."
    } else if(large == '') {
        document.getElementById("ifMissed").innerHTML = "You have missing fields."
    } else if(small == '') {
        document.getElementById("ifMissed").innerHTML = "You have missing fields."
// ===
if ([id, state, details, large, small].includes('')) document.getElementById("ifMissed").innerHTML = "You have missing fields."```

wouldnt it be rpc.setActivity?

[remote yoke]

@carmine mica do you know of any common reasons why some users would fail to login using IPC? some windows users are failing to connect to the discord rpc pipe

i don't think i'm doing anything special https://github.com/samuelmaddock/metastream/blob/master/app/browser/vendor/discord.ts#L58-L64

[carmine mica]

@remote yoke i bet there's an actual error

[remote yoke]

i log the caught error and it's just an empty object 😬

[carmine mica]

sounds unlikely

[remote yoke]

hmm, might be because i'm logging to the renderer from the main process

The error is 'Could not connect' from here https://github.com/discordjs/RPC/blob/master/src/transports/IPC.js#L32

[carmine mica]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[remote yoke]

darn, thanks for your help anyway. going to search the web for a bit to see what i can find

[urban ice]

is there any method to deploy rpc on heroku server so can make it always running? It runs on terminal but doesnt on heroku with same code

[arctic eagle]

No, because you have to have Discord running on the same machine the RPC is connecting from. @urban ice

[urban ice]

okayy

thanks

[smoky scroll]

could someone give me a link to a guide on RPC

[arctic eagle]

There is no officially recognized guide

[analog tulip]

@warm radish

How does a normal person use it then?

[warm radish]

read the channel topic for documentation and examples

[analog tulip]

?

That is for bots

[smoky scroll]

No it is not

we'll say it again: bots cannot use rich presence

[analog tulip]

I can use it for this account?

[urban ice]

https://www.npmjs.com/package/easy-rich-presence

I used this for my rpc

https://github.com/AleanaA/Easy-Rich-Presence

[carmine mica]

wow what a shitty api

[arctic eagle]

the whole reason the discord-rpc package exists is to make the discord rpc api easier to use while still providing all of the features. That isn't easy-rich-presence, that's limited-rich-presence.

[carmine mica]

if you're only using rich presence, you can use https://www.npmjs.com/package/discord-rich-presence

[brazen rivet]

Do I have to submit a request for RPC access, or will it be automatically reviewed & I have to just wait?

likewise, will I never receive an access token(and thus not be fully authenticated) without RPC access, or is that just for authentication bypassing?

[spare saffron]

Quick question, How does rpc work exactly?

[plush pumice]

discord client opens a port

applications connects to that port and sends information on what to display

basically

[arctic eagle]

actually, pretty much completely.

[urban ice]

is there any instruction for getting RPC on bot?

[plush pumice]

bots and rpc are completely unrelated

also it's not possible for a bot to use rpc

[urban ice]

yesss I think so but

how can these bots have their own rpc

[smoky scroll]

that's not rich presence, that's just regular poor people presence

https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/master/class/ClientUser?scrollTo=setPresence

[urban ice]

hmmm dont know whats difference

oh

thank you

[urban ice]

ty it works

[smoky scroll]

How i can download Discord RPC Client?

[boreal stream]

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=rpc+definition

Really?

rpc seems fairly simple to google lol

[smoky scroll]

._.

Bruh.

[boreal stream]

Basically it just emulates the part of discord that means you get stuff like 'In fornite game with 20 players with 5 mins left'

That rich presence tile

and

this will be a better explanation https://discord.js.org/#/docs/rpc

[smoky scroll]

O thanks 😄

[hot dust]

Hello developers

If the discord application client id is public to everyone

Does that make any issues ?

and which is better to let it private or not ?

[carmine mica]

@hot dust it doesn't make issues

anywhere you need actual privacy, there is the client secret

[young frigate]

i

[spare saffron]

how does rpc work?

[arctic eagle]

Discord is installed on a PC, it listens on a port. You send data to that port and discord responds by setting the user's playing status to what you sent, as long as it is in the correct format. If another program is already sending data to the port, your program is ignored until that program is finished.

[lone garden]

is there something like an idiots guide for rpc?

[fresh crag]

@lone garden its complex but hasnt that many features

An guide isnt really worth it

[arctic eagle]

rpc is not very complex

[scenic crag]

I managed to get rpc working locally, but not on the web. Is there a process for being able to use rpc on the web?

[carmine mica]

@scenic crag you need to be verified by discord

[arctic eagle]

Most rpc features are in beta

private

[lone garden]

Thanks got it working not nearly as configurable as I had hoped.

[nimble crane]

not configurable? it has full api coverage of rich presence for discord (i think), but ok

[scenic crag]

Who does one email/msg to get verified by discord?

[arctic eagle]

@scenic crag first you will want to use the features of rpc that you normally have to be approved for since you are the owner of the app. you can also add other accounts (with a verified email) to your app's whitelist to use these features. once you know the features you want to use are working with your application, you can most likely contact discord support. their email is not that hard to find.

then again, there is still no guarantee that you will be approved.

[nimble crane]

chances are you'll only get approved if you are a game dev (but not always) that made a cool game

[cobalt wadi]

Is it possible to force the client to just disconnect so i can have it reconnect to a different developer application?

[arctic eagle]

call client.destroy() and create a new client

[cobalt wadi]

so like...

// Declare client, at top of file
let client = new Discord.Client({ transport: 'ipc' }) // Define client

// In the refreshclient function
client.destroy() // Destroy the client
client = new Discord.Client({ transport: 'ipc' }) // Make a new client
client.login({ clientId }).catch(console.error()) // Login, catch any errors
update() // My custom update function``` Or ```js
// Have the client declared already

// In the refreshclient function
client.destroy() // Destroy the client
client.login({ clientId }).catch(console.error()) // login with the client id, log any errors.
update() // My custom update function```?

[carmine mica]

I've never tested reusing clients

it should work in theory

[arctic eagle]

you can always, like, try the code you're typing @cobalt wadi

[lost wind]

So I have 2 instances of discord presences (using discord-rich-presence, but different app ID) running, but the newer one doesn't replace the previous one when activated.

[lost wind]

Anyone else do this?

[arctic eagle]

Discord's RPC documentation clearly states that something already connected via RPC holds priority until it disconnects. You would need a way to disconnect from RPC with the first app before you connect with the second one. A way to communicate between the apps would work.

@lost wind

[lost wind]

Hm...

[smoky scroll]

hello, MemberUpdate no longer works ? 😦

[hard hatch]

Huh? What do you mean?

@carmine mica you cannot re-use the client, we've found out the hard way... the connectPromise is never reset, thus the same is returned on other login attempts (say, after waiting a bit from it not connecting), which requires a full new Client or a manual connectPromise set to null before calling login again

[carmine mica]

@hard hatch sounds like a bug

open an issue

[hard hatch]

Will do

Although it should be an easy thing to pr?

[carmine mica]

yeah make a pr if you want

[hard hatch]

@carmine mica so... call .destroy on close in the connect promise? calling that would throw cause socket is already dead tho...

[native osprey]

how can i let my bot leave a cancerous guild ?

[upper galleon]

what is RPC?

oof

okay

[hollow dune]

typo? https://heat-is-a.living-me.me/i/5wcb.png

[arctic eagle]

no, it's intentional.

[midnight osprey]

No, that's how you spell the word "by"

[smoky scroll]

@native osprey find the Guild and do Guild#leave

?docs Guild#leave

[native osprey]

Already did it LMAO

[smoky scroll]

Although channel topic

[left fjord]

Also rpc != d.js

[carmine mica]

did you know you can use break outside of loops

@candid coyote eval a: { break a; }

[candid coyote]

@carmine mica

undefined

[hard hatch]

@carmine mica I think I got what you meant, you want to make the client require to be destroyed before it's reused. Issue is, it'll call this.transport.close, which will try to send a packet to a dead socket, thus erroring (cannot read property write of null or something)

[surreal kestrel]

i run client on vsc, what should i do next?

how can i apply rpc to visual studio code ?

[smoky scroll]

Download an extension for it.

[surreal kestrel]

this one?

[smoky scroll]

Nah i think it's by "noel"

Discord presence or something

[surreal kestrel]

:v oh

[smoky scroll]

Yes

[surreal kestrel]

where is URLSearchParams

[hard hatch]

Outdated vscode?

[carmine mica]

@surreal kestrel you need a later version of node

[knotty trout]

is this being worked on in disocrd.js? https://discordapp.com/developers/docs/resources/user#user-object-user-flags

[smoky scroll]

@knotty trout Those user flags are not accessible to bot users: you need an oauth2 application.

[knotty trout]

oooh

ok thank you

[chilly elm]

Is it possible to set streaming with RPC? If so, please give example

[hard hatch]

You cannot afaik. Streaming is set by Discord when you're streaming to Twitch (and only works with twitch urls)

[arctic eagle]

Well Twitch uses RPC to show that someone is streaming. They use it via their API. They have their own (verified) discord app just like anyone else does. If you did set streaming from your own app, you probably wouldn't be able to get it verified, but you could use it. Just without buttons and stuff to click to watch.

And no custom status/colour

@chilly elm

[chilly elm]

@arctic eagle So I would not be able to use the purple status icon?

[coral viper]

https://i.imgur.com/AoafOme.png how big is the chance of me getting this verified so i can add a join button to my site?
I expect small but it would be awesome

[arctic eagle]

They wouldn't verify you for that

They would verify you if you had a game that let people join other peoples' games, or interact with others in general. Telling someone to join your website (aka something that only you would use and wouldn't be useful to the public) will never get verified.

[fresh crag]

@coral viper what would the join button do

[coral viper]

Just a clickable link, was worth trying

[smoky scroll]

hello

is there any way to get the list of discord application assets?

[hard hatch]

@coral viper afaik now anyone can add the buttons as long as you do it properly (we implemented it in our vscode extension)

[coral viper]

@hard hatch mind pming me your code? It doesnt seem to show up for me

[hard hatch]

Look at https://github.com/iCrawl/discord-vscode

Src/structures/activity I think

You need... A party, a join secret

[coral viper]

yeah i have those strangely enough

oh it works but im getting "is not detected" or something and im not receiving the event

[coral viper]

hope this isn't seen as "api abuse" though

[ornate drift]

welp

im having tons of problem with this part of my code

rpc.login({clientId: gameCache[new Number(placeId)].clientId || "client id in here" }).catch(console.error);

The problem is. if it runs the second time. rpc doesnt show

and i get this error

    at setActivity (/Users/nahh/Downloads/rblxRP-master/index.js:98:64)

[carmine mica]

@ornate drift new Number(...) returns a number object

are you looking for Number.parseInt()

[ornate drift]

no

[carmine mica]

also assuming gameCache[the numberified id] doesn't exist

you couldn't read clientId off it

[ornate drift]

It reads clientID when run into console

but not into rpc.login

[carmine mica]

@ornate drift the error is coming from gameCache[new Number(placeId)].clientId

which isn't part of my rpc codebase

so i can only offer guesses

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[ornate drift]

Okay thanks

[carmine mica]

wait actually

looking at that stack trace

@ornate drift index.js line 98

[ornate drift]

yep

thats the line

the rpc.login line

[carmine mica]

you're calling login inside an interval?

[ornate drift]

yes

[carmine mica]

don't?

[ornate drift]

any chances of changing rpc output when interval removed?

[carmine mica]

@ornate drift you can call setActivity multiple times

[ornate drift]

okay

[carmine mica]

you should only have one rpc instance running

and seriously stop using new Number

i can tell you now you'll never need to use new Number in your entire life long career as a js dev

[ornate drift]

okay thanks

[smoky scroll]

I'm trying to build a custom status app, but i run into the following problem: The status doesn't update when I cal setActivity().
My renderer.js: __https://h.railrunner16.me/ehibajeyot.js__
My main.js: __https://h.railrunner16.me/feyurekoqe.js__

If i'm doing something stupid, i'm sorry. I'm new to Electron and RPC.

[smoky scroll]

nvm solved it

[polar cave]

Do we have the option to use anything but 'Playing' as an ActivityType now?

[carmine mica]

no

[polar cave]

god damnit

@smoky scroll May I inquire about this status app?

[smoky scroll]

sure

lol

screenshot too: https://i.railrunner16.me/EjgHeTC.png

[polar cave]

ooooo

i like

Had a friend ask me yesterday if this was possible, I said certainly but I'm not making it. I've got other things to make

lmao

Could you DM me details?

[smoky scroll]

yeah, i haven't built a binary tho yet

(even tho i've posted on the subreddit https://url.railrunner16.me/l/hAHuLBf)

[polar cave]

sweet

Do you have a repo?

[storm sable]

Go to #archive-offtopic pls

[polar cave]

maybe

[smoky scroll]

no repo either yet, but soon, and we probs should move to #archive-offtopic, but rn i haz headake, so imma run the build and go slep

[wispy dagger]

@smoky scroll I remember reading somewhere that having "exclusive" rpc on "public" accounts is against tos, just something to consider

[smoky scroll]

thats not what i'm doing

check this reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/discordapp/comments/aaua73/ive_created_this_wonderful_application_that_lets/

[brittle panther]

i asked this a few months ago and got the answer "RPC doesn't update on your own computer," which might be right, but i'd like another opinion. i currently have an rpc application using the time elapsed feature:

however, the time elapsed shows up on my computer wrong (says there, 4:48:20)

but if u check from another machine, others' accounts, etc

shows up right:

is there way to fix this ffor my own computer?

because if i play games like league or something, it definitely does show up properly on my own computer

[smoky scroll]

That's a old bug that's just because discord can't parse timestamp s

[brittle panther]

Oof, any fixes?

Why does RPCClient#user has a question mark before User? What does that mean?

[left fjord]

<?something> basically means, that this property can return that something (in this case User), or be undefined.
As an example you can take GuildMember.nickname

[thorn nova]

Oh

[smoky scroll]

can i use rpc on bots

[inland wing]

no

[smoky scroll]

var colors = require('colors');
console.log("Loading...".underline.green)
const RPC = require("discord-rpc");
const client = new RPC.Client({ transport: 'ipc' });
client.login({ clientId: '' }).catch(console.error)
client.once('ready', () => {
let presence = {
startTimestamp: new Date(1000)
};
client.setActivity(presence).catch(console.error)
console.log('loaded');
});

this wont work

clientId = he id of my discordapp developers application

[smoky scroll]

@smoky scroll did you forget to hide your client secret in main.js?

I know this was a while ago

[smoky scroll]

meh

ill reset it

[lost wind]

How do I handle this promise when Discord is not found to be running on the computer?

[lost wind]

Do I need to put catch block everytime I call updatePresence?

[arctic eagle]

No, you don't try {} catch {} promises

Add .catch to the end of the call every time you call updatePresence

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise/catch

[scarlet token]

like this?

im learning js, thanks xDD

actually i dont need the error log for now

[smoky scroll]

.catch is only for promises.

[silver ivy]

?docs oauth

[lost wind]

So I have a function that is updating RichPresence...using catch gives me an error "catch on undefined"

[lost wind]

Here is what I am doing:

function updateDiscordRPC() {
  rpcClient.updatePresence({
      //Stuff
  });
}
updateDiscordRPC().catch();

Just to clarify...I am using this library: https://www.npmjs.com/package/discord-rich-presence

[arctic eagle]

I would recommend using .catch inside of the updateDiscordRPC function, on rpcClient.updatePresence

[lost wind]

@arctic eagle When I do that, it gives me an error.

[wraith crow]

Hello guys 😄 I'm having a Transport is not a constructor issue (React CRA + Electron). Looks like the prob is the module being transpiled. Does anyone know how to prevent it? (without ejecting cra)

[arctic eagle]

Anything other than that? A stacktrace maybe?

[lost wind]

@arctic eagle

When using catch on rpcClient.updatePresence

[shadow rapids]

index.js line 54 and 196 @lost wind

[lost wind]

Have you checked the previous messages?

Those are the affected lines

[shadow rapids]

try to catch the ```JS
rpcClient.updatePresence({
//Stuff
}).catch();

[lost wind]

Yeah, doing that brings that error.

Without the catch, it works but gives me the unhandled promise error which I am trying to remove.

[shadow rapids]

But what error?

[lost wind]

Cannot read property 'catch' of undefined

[shadow rapids]

then remove the catch's

[lost wind]

Then how do I remove this warning every time Discord is not on?

Someone suggested to use catch, but that gives me the undefined error I mentioned previously

[shadow rapids]

i am going to test if i also get this

[lost wind]

Thanks

[calm dragon]

@lost wind you could put process.on(`unhandledRejection`, (reason, promise) => {}); somewhere, but that also affects all other unhandled rejections so idk if it's really too great

[lost wind]

@calm dragon Yeah, I knew about that, but I wanted a fine-tuned solution. Oh well, I guess I will just stick to that.

Anyways, I have another question: Is it possible to check if another app is broadcasting rich presence?

[carmine mica]

@lost wind you need to actually return the promise

you don't return anything from updateDiscordRPC

[lost wind]

Example?

[carmine mica]

function updateDiscordRPC() {
  return rpcClient.updatePresence({
      //Stuff
  });
}
updateDiscordRPC().catch(() => {});

if you don't return anything from updateDiscordRPC it will obviously be undefined

[lost wind]

Alright

[carmine mica]

and there's no such thing as undefined.catch()

[lost wind]

i see

Any thoughts on my other question?

Since the new RPC revisions on Discord will only show the first connected app

[viral solstice]

can anyone help me

i download rich presence and it open in WINRAR

[left fjord]

Not sure since when you are supposed to open .jar files as archives tho..

[silver ivy]

winrar supports jar files

try reinstalling winrar and u will see the supported file types

[left fjord]

What

Ofc it supports, why not, but you know, in general, .jar aren't archives with same purpose as .zip or .rar
Generally, you are supposed to run .jar files.

But ok, never had this particular archive

[arctic eagle]

@viral solstice this is uh JavaScript my dude gl

[bleak zenith]

Is there a guide on RPC? I was reading the docs on the discord api docs and it looked like it only worked with SDK. How can i as a user set my own RPC

[smoky scroll]

heya can anyone help why its not working

[left fjord]

Not working how

[elfin rune]

error? paste it

[scarlet aspen]

You can't use discord rpc on glitch

As there's no discord client running

[hot sluice]

iv never done this so could someone help me set this up

const clientId = '187406016902594560';
const scopes = ['rpc', 'rpc.api', 'messages.read'];

const client = new RPC.Client({ transport: 'websocket' });

client.on('ready', () => {
  console.log('Logged in as', client.application.name);
  console.log('Authed for user', client.user.username);

  client.selectVoiceChannel('81384788862181376');
});

// Log in to RPC with client id
client.login({ clientId, scopes });```

im looking at the example but i dont know what to fill in the variables with besides my client id

scopes and 'websocket'

[hot sluice]

how do u set up rich presence settings

like the large and small images, etc

[chilly elm]

I know you can set a custom playing with RPC, but can you set streaming?
