sacred ore Jan 16, 2021, 11:40 PM

its mostly from the example from the lib anyways so

iron yew Jan 16, 2021, 11:43 PM

did u define DiscordRPC as like const DiscordRPC = require("discord-rpc")

sacred ore Jan 16, 2021, 11:43 PM

yes

iron yew Jan 16, 2021, 11:43 PM

yeah cause i get an err if i run that code
const rpc = new DiscordRPC.Client({ transport: 'ipc' });

DiscordRPC is not defined

sacred ore Jan 16, 2021, 11:44 PM

in your code that would be RPC.Client btw

cuz i defined DiscordRPC as the lib, but you defined RPC as the lib

iron yew Jan 16, 2021, 11:45 PM

no what im doing is im trying to just run ur code as plain

i removed the one i used for temp

Oh

So I want to have custom RPC

for that ?

vocal beacon Jan 17, 2021, 9:46 AM

well discord-rpc is the library that sets that custom status like "Playing <insert game here>"

tender musk Jan 17, 2021, 9:46 AM

yeah

But if I want a custom status

Like

Playing dbd

etc

how do I do ?

vocal beacon Jan 17, 2021, 9:46 AM

look at the docs

tender musk Jan 17, 2021, 9:47 AM

vocal beacon look at the docs

There is nothing

Except 1 example

vocal beacon Jan 17, 2021, 9:47 AM

hold up i think i can find some

tender musk Jan 17, 2021, 9:47 AM

Okay

vocal beacon Jan 17, 2021, 9:48 AM

...oh wait they don't have any lol

tender musk Jan 17, 2021, 9:48 AM

oof

vocal beacon Jan 17, 2021, 9:48 AM

they should really work on that tbh but you can pretty much sus out most of the functionality from that one example

I wish there was any docs

But like I want mystatus playing something how do I do it wih djs rpc

vocal beacon Jan 17, 2021, 9:49 AM

oh wait there is another example here: https://github.com/discordjs/RPC/tree/master/example

tender musk Jan 17, 2021, 9:49 AM

Yeah I saw

vocal beacon Jan 17, 2021, 9:50 AM

this seems to be the code block in question:

rpc.setActivity({
    details: `booped ${boops} times`,
    state: 'in slither party',
    startTimestamp,
    largeImageKey: 'snek_large',
    largeImageText: 'tea is delicious',
    smallImageKey: 'snek_small',
    smallImageText: 'i am my own pillows',
    instance: false,
});

i mean you can guess how to do it from there

although i did wish they had docs

oh wait nvm i found the docs @tender musk: https://discord.js.org/#/docs/rpc/master/class/RPCClient

sacred ore Jan 17, 2021, 12:33 PM

tender musk Yeah I saw

status cant be custom, it will always say Playing ${application name}, all you can change is the sub text

details is shown first, state is shown second

Wondering how to use the NoRequireDiscord? Or if that's outdated, how do I allow the application to run even if Discord isn't open?

Thanks!

carmine mica Jan 18, 2021, 4:52 PM

@olive orbit norequirediscord in the official sdk starts a discord client inside your program

I don't have the capacity to do that

olive orbit Jan 18, 2021, 4:52 PM

I see

So there isn't a way of just ignoring if Discord isn't open?

carmine mica Jan 18, 2021, 4:53 PM

not sure what you mean

olive orbit Jan 18, 2021, 4:54 PM

As in, at the moment, if I try to run my program, it'll say Error: Could not connect - I want it to connect if the Discord application is open, but if it's not open, ignore it and run the program anyway

carmine mica Jan 18, 2021, 4:56 PM

add an error event handler?

that's not specific to rpc

that's just how eventemitter works in nodejs

olive orbit Jan 18, 2021, 4:57 PM

I've tried catch but regardless of that it isn't working

carmine mica Jan 18, 2021, 4:57 PM

client.on('error', () => {})

olive orbit Jan 18, 2021, 5:01 PM

carmine mica client.on('error', () => {})

rpc.on('error', () => { main() }) - still getting that same error

carmine mica Jan 18, 2021, 5:02 PM

🤷

I'm not gonna give you a tutorial on how to handle errors in node

@carmine mica WSL?

sacred ore Jan 18, 2021, 7:44 PM

surreal hare <@!173547401905176585> WSL?

Windows Subsystem for Linux

were you trying to use that , or are you actually on linux

it seems like its WSL cuz gpu issues like that seem to occur when it cant find a display

like in WSL

i have an issue
(node:6748) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: RPC_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT

little ermine Jan 19, 2021, 10:06 PM

I'm trying to get RPC working from a Chrome Extension. Everything else is working, I have the packing set up (with rollup) etc. but discord-rpc doesn't work

I'm getting this error:

DOMException: Failed to construct 'WebSocket': The subprotocol '[object Object]' is invalid

at this line (it's in the browser.js file):

const n = this.ws = new o(`ws://${this.hostAndPort}/?v=1&client_id=${this.client.clientId}`,{
        origin: this.client.options.origin
});

Why the error occurs is pretty obvious I guess. o is window.WebSocket (i think... the file is minified) and window.WebSocket doesn't take an object with options but a list of subprotocols. If I just remove the origin header, the ws connection gets closed instantly (just as the discord rpc docs say)

my whole code here:

const rpc = require("discord-rpc/browser");

chrome.browserAction.onClicked.addListener(function (tab) {
    const clientId = "...";

    const client = new rpc.Client({ transport: "websocket" });
    const scopes = ["rpc", "rpc.api", "messages.read"];

    client.on("ready", () => {
        console.log(client.user.username);
    });
    client.login({ clientId, scopes }).catch(console.error);
});

Anyone an idea how to fix this? I tried using the not browser version (it uses ws instead of window.WebSocket so it should be possible to set the Origin header but I get some problems because of the electron dependency)

@carmine mica i'll just ping you because i think this is a library problem and not something i fucked up. not sure though ...

little ermine Jan 19, 2021, 10:34 PM

it does not work in a "normal browser" (not in the chrome extension context) either, just tried, same error

Websocket is whitelisted and cannot be used regularly, discord-rpc will only ever work on the desktop application

little ermine Jan 19, 2021, 11:47 PM

@sacred ore I might have misunderstood something. I thought using websockets was just a different way of communicating with the discord application? Is that wrong?
So, I can only use discord rpc with the "ipc" transport?

sacred ore Jan 19, 2021, 11:48 PM

Yes you can only use discord rpc with the ipc transport, websocket will never work for people who aren't whitelisted to use it

And ipc will only work if you're running the application on the same computer that discord is running on

little ermine Jan 19, 2021, 11:49 PM

Okay, thanks for clarifying that.
The application is running on the same computer but I guess I can't use IPC from a chrome extension. Thanks anyway :)

sacred ore Jan 19, 2021, 11:52 PM

I mean it can probably be done, but if the chrome extension is coded to use websocket then probably not

little ermine Jan 20, 2021, 12:02 AM

sacred ore I mean it can probably be done, but if the chrome extension is coded to use webs...

I'm pretty sure it's not possible unfortunately. You can't write to sockets/pipes from a chrome extension.

Sorry bout ur luck

olive orbit Jan 20, 2021, 1:57 PM

carmine mica client.on('error', () => {})

this doesn't exist

and you can't add an EventListener on the RPC object

Anyone know how I can catch the error or simply allow use of the application with or without a connection?

sacred ore Jan 20, 2021, 2:23 PM

olive orbit and you can't add an EventListener on the RPC object

yes, you can, the rpc client extends event emitter.

how do you think you do, rpc.on('ready')?

and literally, handling errors is as simple as adding a catch

drifting mortar Jan 20, 2021, 2:32 PM

@sacred ore so

how this can produce this :

UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: Could not connect
at Socket.onerror

it's not a catch problem

sacred ore Jan 20, 2021, 2:33 PM

is it running on the same pc as discord is

or on a server

drifting mortar Jan 20, 2021, 2:33 PM

pc

i dev on my pc and discord is open or not on my pc

i handled the error correctly, i can go in my main() without any problem but it display an socket error and idk why

it should not try to connect if discord is close

sacred ore Jan 20, 2021, 2:35 PM

so does it work when discord is open?

drifting mortar Jan 20, 2021, 2:35 PM

yes

and i want to start my script even if discord is not opened but without this socket error

sacred ore Jan 20, 2021, 2:37 PM

if u catch the error the code should just be able to continue

you shouldnt have to call main from inside the catch

iron yew Jan 20, 2021, 3:07 PM

What's the discord-rpc master ?

I used npm i discord-rpc

smoky scroll Jan 26, 2021, 12:33 PM

sacred ore what does this even mean

rpc communicates with your discord client on the same machine
I head its possible to run it on a vps with a custom client to accept and display the rpc

smoky scroll Jan 26, 2021, 5:11 PM

does this work on MacOS?

Okay , so go here https://github.com/discordjs/rpc, download it , and put it in your node modules

loud gulch Jan 26, 2021, 8:34 PM

sacred ore Jan 26, 2021, 8:34 PM

it didn't worked

can rpc be run on vps???

shell stirrup Jan 27, 2021, 8:47 AM

no, because it will try to connect with your discord client and you won't have a discord client on vps (maybe)

not sure about what I said above but I think it won't work on vps

If you want to add buttons to your RPC , make sure you are on the master branch of discordjs/rpc. this can be installed using npm i discordjs/rpc.
Then inside your setActivity call, you can use buttons: [ { label: " ", url: " " }, { label: " ", url: " "} ], you can have a maximum of 2 buttons
You wil not be able to press these buttons on your own account, so dont freak out when something doesnt pop up when you click it

I have a question. There is a way to use Discord-rpc without a client ? Like use a user token or something like that to put my JavaScript script on a vps ?

sacred ore Jan 28, 2021, 10:05 AM

No

azure minnow Jan 28, 2021, 10:24 AM

and there is a way to add a rich presence to a user with discordjs ?

sacred ore Jan 28, 2021, 10:25 AM

only to yourself

look at mine

azure minnow Jan 28, 2021, 10:26 AM

sacred ore Jan 28, 2021, 10:26 AM

azure minnow Jan 28, 2021, 10:26 AM

ok so for exemple

i want to run on a vps a discordjs script with my token on it so

"the script" is connected to my account

can i add a rich presence from that ?

sacred ore Jan 28, 2021, 10:31 AM

No, rpc only works if discord is open on the same machine, so it wont work on a vps

azure minnow Jan 28, 2021, 10:33 AM

ok and if i run discordjs connected to an account and i run rpc ?

sacred ore Jan 28, 2021, 10:38 AM

it only works if DISCORD ( the application discord ), is open on the same machine as the rpc code

vivid flume Jan 28, 2021, 1:38 PM

when it connects to Discord it connects to the client instance not the account

i think websockets may be different but that's how it works with ipc

left fjord Jan 28, 2021, 1:40 PM

p sure it's discord app that you connect to anyway

vivid flume Jan 28, 2021, 1:40 PM

Why it say connection closed?

const scopes = ["rpc", "rpc.api", "messages.read"];

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

// Log in to RPC with client id

left fjord Jan 30, 2021, 4:37 PM

sacred ore Jan 31, 2021, 10:44 AM

i mean yea, but youll have to figure out how to do it yourself

azure minnow Jan 31, 2021, 10:45 AM

So there is no "Discord client" working without a screen

But Can i add a desktop to my Ubuntu server, use rdp launch Discord login, run my rpc and log off ?

azure minnow Jan 31, 2021, 11:17 AM

I think it's possible to fork this a make an "console-mode" https://github.com/Flam3rboy/discord-bot-client

left fjord Jan 31, 2021, 1:37 PM

this is best way to get your account banned

also note that it's not "be logged in on the same pc". this itself has absolutely nothing to do with rpc whatsoever

the fact why you need to do that, is because the app runs a "server" to which rpc app connects and uses it to display rich presence (which doesn't really give a crap about which account is currently logged in)

so even if you won't get banned for using custom client, the custom client doesn't even have anything rpc related.

visual fog Jan 31, 2021, 3:39 PM

Can i fetch number of members from a guild in discord-rpc?

left fjord Jan 31, 2021, 6:46 PM

rpc doesn't really have much to do with guilds 🤔

there is a command to get all guilds user is in, but from what i can tell you can't get much anyway, since guild objects you get are partial. both members and member_count are sent only on GUILD_CREATE, so are completely inaccessible rpc-wise, and approximate_member_count has this as description:

approximate number of members in this guild, returned from the GET /guilds/<id> endpoint when with_counts is true
which makes me believe you cannot do that from rpc at all

Can someone give me a better example?

The GitHub Repo Example sucks ;-;

steep valve Feb 3, 2021, 10:22 AM

@smoky scroll what you need

smoky scroll Feb 3, 2021, 10:22 AM

I just need a good example for discord rpc

Or u can tell me how can I update the activity

steep valve Feb 3, 2021, 10:23 AM

Like the status of the bot

smoky scroll Feb 3, 2021, 10:23 AM

Of user

steep valve Feb 3, 2021, 10:24 AM

Hold on before we get into that I noticed the bot did something wrong

smoky scroll Feb 3, 2021, 10:24 AM

Yea I can wait

steep valve Feb 3, 2021, 10:25 AM

"const Discord = require('discord.js');
const client = new Discord.Client();

client.on('ready', () => {
console.log(Logged in as ${client.user.tag}!);
});

client.on('message', msg => {
if (msg.content === 'ping') {
msg.channel.send('pong');
}
});

client.login('config.token');
"

That's much more better

You use that in the index so if you share your index with anybody they won't get your token to mess with your bot

karmic jolt Feb 3, 2021, 10:26 AM

that's not rpc..

steep valve Feb 3, 2021, 10:26 AM

I know it's not but it's a better way of putting it

smoky scroll Feb 3, 2021, 10:26 AM

karmic jolt that's not rpc..

Yea we know

steep valve Feb 3, 2021, 10:26 AM

It's much more better so if you share your index with people they won't have access to your bot token which then they will steal your bot

smoky scroll Feb 3, 2021, 10:26 AM

Yea yea

A good example?

Hello?

sacred ore Feb 3, 2021, 11:21 AM

what he was getting at is that this is not the chat for non-rpc related things

rain ermine Feb 3, 2021, 8:06 PM

any of you guys know how to add button to discord rpc?

rpc.on("ready", () =>{
    rpc.setActivity({
        state : "Coding by IEB#4646 | IEBot",
        details : "Coding",
        largeImageKey : "iebot",
        largeImageText : "IEBot",
        buttons : [{label : "Youtube" , url : "https://www.youtube.com"},{label : "Website",url : "https://i"}]
    })
    console.log("Activated.")
});

buttons dont appear

other things do

please help :<

if you are feeling your self too late to help you are not dm me and tell how to fix if you know

or just @rain ermine

umm @sacred ore is it rude to ask you like this?

sacred ore Feb 3, 2021, 8:09 PM

a lil bit, but i got u

?buttons

turbid oliveBOT Feb 3, 2021, 8:09 PM

If you want to add buttons to your RPC , make sure you are on the master branch of discordjs/rpc. this can be installed using npm i discordjs/rpc.
Then inside your setActivity call, you can use buttons: [ { label: " ", url: " " }, { label: " ", url: " "} ], you can have a maximum of 2 buttons
You wil not be able to press these buttons on your own account, so dont freak out when something doesnt pop up when you click it

rain ermine Feb 3, 2021, 8:09 PM

sorry :( and thanks

sacred ore Feb 3, 2021, 8:09 PM

see the first line of that tag

rain ermine Feb 3, 2021, 8:11 PM

i installed it like npm i discord-rpc

is it wrong?

rain ermine Feb 3, 2021, 8:16 PM

sacred ore see the first line of that tag

i didnt understand :(

sacred ore Feb 3, 2021, 8:16 PM

yea you have to use npm i discordjs/rpc

rain ermine Feb 3, 2021, 8:16 PM

soo what should i change in the code

sacred ore Feb 3, 2021, 8:16 PM

nothing, literally just install discord rpc like i showed

and it should work

rain ermine Feb 3, 2021, 8:17 PM

it errored

when i tried

should i uninstall discord-rpc first?

it errors @sacred ore

sacred ore Feb 3, 2021, 8:18 PM

whats the error

rain ermine Feb 3, 2021, 8:18 PM

while installin

g

there is lots of errors

i dont know

@sacred ore are you there

sacred ore Feb 3, 2021, 8:20 PM

that means you dont have git in ur path

you need to install git to install from master branch

rain ermine Feb 3, 2021, 8:31 PM

sacred ore you need to install git to install from master branch

"get help here", but you forgot about the fact that it's completely voluntary help; that not everyone uses rpc, and that you have given absolutely no details whatsoever.

terse shadow Feb 5, 2021, 6:24 AM

I've tried everything, but Client#application always seems to be null no matter what I do. Is this intended or am I doing something wrong?

sacred ore Feb 5, 2021, 6:36 AM

terse shadow I've tried everything, but `Client#application` always seems to be `null` no mat...

when you only login with the client id , yea

terse shadow Feb 5, 2021, 6:37 AM

oh, what else are the options I can log in with?

sacred ore Feb 5, 2021, 6:37 AM

im pretty sure you can login with your bot token, lemme check rq

you cannot rip, the other parameter you can put is accessToken, im assuming it means an oauth one

accessToken is the only one that provides application

terse shadow Feb 5, 2021, 6:40 AM

does that mean we can implement discord rpc from websites via oauth?

sacred ore Feb 5, 2021, 6:41 AM

no , remember that rpc has to be used on the computer that your discord client is open on

terse shadow Feb 5, 2021, 6:41 AM

hmm, what's the accessToken for then?

sacred ore Feb 5, 2021, 6:42 AM

wait no im stupid

the code does the accessToken flow for you

it should provide you with the application

terse shadow Feb 5, 2021, 6:45 AM

I tried, but there don't seem to be any docs for where to get an accessToken, and I've tried even making a different app on discord developers but I've never had client.application to not be null

sacred ore Feb 5, 2021, 6:46 AM

yea accessToken you dont need to worry about actually i read the code wrong, but it should be working idky

its being null

everything that is set in the authorize is null

terse shadow Feb 5, 2021, 6:50 AM

i tried stepping through the code, client.application stays null at the authenticate call from login (src/client.js:246-ish), but client.user gets a value and works properly, it's just client.application that stays null throughout the entire process

sacred ore Feb 5, 2021, 6:55 AM

well

i got client.application to not be null

it was weird, idky why it doesnt work

terse shadow Feb 5, 2021, 6:58 AM

do you login using a clientId?

sacred ore Feb 5, 2021, 6:59 AM

yes

terse shadow Feb 5, 2021, 6:59 AM

'cause my brain is too tired from school to think about this lmao

I give up

i'll just fix it when rpc docs are better

sacred ore Feb 5, 2021, 7:04 AM

actually nvm i didnt get it oof

idk what the fuck is goin on

terse shadow Feb 5, 2021, 7:08 AM

i blame the docs lol

nowhere in the docs does it say how/where to get an accessToken

sacred ore Feb 5, 2021, 7:11 AM

well

like i said

accessToken is provided

i mislead you ealier

lmfao

accessToken is provided by the oauth flow it goes through when you provide either client id or client secret

terse shadow Feb 5, 2021, 7:18 AM

well yeah, but it only goes through the authorize flow if you don't provide an accessToken on login

if i'm reading this code correctly you have the option of either calling login() with a clientId or an accessToken, but it doesn't say where to get an accessToken in the code (expected). The thing is, it doesn't say where to get an accessToken in the docs either, which is unexpected

sacred ore Feb 5, 2021, 7:39 AM

terse shadow if i'm reading this code correctly you have the option of either calling login()...

yea but you dont NEED to provide accessToken, because the lib alr does it

accessToken is an exchange of an oauth code for a discord bearer token

so if you provided an access token, it would be from doing your own oauth exchange

terse shadow Feb 5, 2021, 7:40 AM

yeah that would be nice

does accessToken allow bearer tokens?

sacred ore Feb 5, 2021, 7:42 AM

it IS a bearer token

terse shadow Feb 5, 2021, 7:43 AM

oh, didn't know that lol

sacred ore Feb 5, 2021, 7:43 AM

heres the code for it

  async authorize({ scopes, clientSecret, rpcToken, redirectUri } = {}) {
    if (clientSecret && rpcToken === true) {
      const body = await this.fetch('POST', '/oauth2/token/rpc', {
        data: new URLSearchParams({
          client_id: this.clientId,
          client_secret: clientSecret,
        }),
      });
      rpcToken = body.rpc_token;
    }

    const { code } = await this.request('AUTHORIZE', {
      scopes,
      client_id: this.clientId,
      rpc_token: rpcToken,
    });

    const response = await this.fetch('POST', '/oauth2/token', {
      data: new URLSearchParams({
        client_id: this.clientId,
        client_secret: clientSecret,
        code,
        grant_type: 'authorization_code',
        redirect_uri: redirectUri,
      }),
    });

    return response.access_token;
  }```

terse shadow Feb 5, 2021, 7:43 AM

yeah i saw that

sacred ore Feb 5, 2021, 7:43 AM

thaat response.access_token is a bearer token

terse shadow Feb 5, 2021, 7:44 AM

so theoretically you can set someone's RPC from a website via oauth?

sacred ore Feb 5, 2021, 7:44 AM

No

because it uses IPC,

websocket is a whitelisted transport

terse shadow Feb 5, 2021, 7:44 AM

awww

In your RPC application, you set the activity, correct?

It gives you this:

Where do you set that

Now see how you've set all other variables in that object?

Do it the same way, and set it's value to the time you wish.
In your case, a new date will do.

Or in assets

spring dune Feb 11, 2021, 11:44 PM

Activity

karmic jolt Feb 11, 2021, 11:44 PM

why are you using client.request anyway, there's a setActivity() method

spring dune Feb 11, 2021, 11:45 PM

He's most likely copypasted it kek, given he doesn't understand what he has

pure raft Feb 11, 2021, 11:45 PM

Yup

It's that

Don't work

spring dune Feb 11, 2021, 11:46 PM

Set it to a Date.

pure raft Feb 11, 2021, 11:46 PM

Nop

Don't work

spring dune Feb 11, 2021, 11:46 PM

Do you know what a Date is?

Read up on here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date

pure raft Feb 11, 2021, 11:46 PM

Sorry lol

I put date

Lol

Like that ?

spring dune Feb 11, 2021, 11:49 PM

Nah

I recommend you learn Javascript before you venture onward with this, check #resources ^^

const scopes = ['rpc','rpc.api','messages.read'];
const client = new Discord.Client();
const rpc = new RPC.Client({ transport: 'ipc' })
rpc.on("ready", () => {
    // rpc.setActivity({
    //     details: 'test',
    //     startTimestamp: new Date(),
    //     largeImageKey: 'icon',
    //     largeImageText: 'test'
    // });
});
rpc.login({clientId, scopes})```

unreal ginkgo Feb 13, 2021, 3:22 PM

guys I was wondering if I can display an icon for the current game activity instead of empty box with a question mark , I know you have to use rpc and discord js maybe ?
the thing is Im not finding a good documentation can some one help?

smoky scroll Feb 13, 2021, 4:10 PM

narrow slate Feb 14, 2021, 12:58 AM

How do I make my bot have a custom presence? My code says SetPresence does not exist.

karmic jolt Feb 14, 2021, 1:11 AM

rpc is for users, not for bots

narrow slate Feb 14, 2021, 1:41 AM

Yeah but like this

jade kettle Feb 14, 2021, 1:48 AM

narrow slate Yeah but like this

That's a status js <Client>.user.setActivity('text', { type: 'WATCHING' })

narrow slate Feb 14, 2021, 1:49 AM

Oh right <client> do I put bot there since my bot only supports bot.test123.test123

jade kettle Feb 14, 2021, 1:49 AM

what you mean by that?

narrow slate Feb 14, 2021, 1:51 AM

Right so, When I am coding my bot instead of client.user.setActivity I have to put bot.user.setActivity.

Is there a way of making it change to client.
