djs Adding buttons to your rich presence:
Inside your setActivity call, you can use:

buttons: [ { label: " ", url: " " }, { label: " ", url: " "} ]

You can have up to 2 buttons.
You will not be able to press these buttons on your own account, so dont freak out when something doesn't pop up when you click it.

djs Things to consider when getting a connection closed/could not connect error:
• What transport are you using? If it's 'websocket', change that to 'ipc'.
• Is the ID you are trying to login with your user ID? If so, you should be using a Client ID from the Developer Portal (https://discord.com/developers/applications) instead.
• Is the ID a string? If not, JavaScript will truncate it's value causing the connection to fail.
• Are you using the Discord app? It won't be able to connect to the web version. Similarly, bots cannot use RPC.
• Is your code running on the same machine as the Discord app?
• Are you trying to run it from WSL? If so, it won't be able to connect either.
• Have you installed Discord from the snap store? If so, install it from your distro's package repository or directly from the Discord website.

Okay well, I'm a tad bit confused now. The code is producing no errors, it logs everything it's supposed to, and yet the RPC doesn't show up. I've ensured all my settings are correct, and I am using the Desktop App on the same machine. Can anyone help?

^^^ Nevermind, I (somehow) found a way to get what I wanted to work.

snow plank

Yo, I am having some trouble with RPC in my project.
I have used this library before in the past, and have it working perfectly fine, and still works perfectly fine in my old project, but for some reason in my new project it doesn't even let it get imported without giving a fatal error.

My old project was with Electron, without any special boilerplate. It worked just fine

The new project is ALSO Electron, but this time using Electron-forge, so it uses webpack under the hood, which is where it's giving me the error (See screenshot).
It happens even if I just import it. Has anybody run into this before? Googling it didn't bring me much success

I've tried to install the exact same version as my last project, but I get the same error regardless.
I know about the "Websocket needs to be whitelisted by Discord" but I am not using the websocket transport, and I had it working no problem whatsoever in my prior project

Any help would be much appreciated. If you need the error in text format just @ me

smoky scroll

is an syntax eror in your code

boreal topaz
snow plank
boreal topaz

huh

snow plank

It's really odd, I have only had this problem happen in this project, and it being webpack that complains about it

I found out this code here, 48, i added (error) after catch and that seems to have fixed it, somehow?

Perhaps it should be added to the official to fix the webpack error

Seems like webpack dislikes a catch the parameters

snow plank

If anyone is curious or needs this issue fixed themselves. It needs to be done here.
node_modules\discord-rpc\src\transports\websocket.js
Line 48, change

} catch {}

to this

} catch (e) {}

It fixed the problem for me, makes it work with webpack in Electron-forge generated code

Of course this will fuck up the package if needed to be downloaded later, so I suggest putting it outside of your node_modules and part of your main code., as downloading it from npm again will just give the old not working code into the project again

im new to rpc, is there any tutorials or doccumentations about connecting rich presence from application to my account? tks!

solar sentinel

Make an application (same way you make a bot); name it how you want the rich presence to appear, then copy paste the example and fill it in with your applicationId + what you want it to say

polar egret
solar sentinel

Yes. I'd recommend looking at the rich presence visualizer in the application settings and playing with that.

ok

snow plank

how

snow plank

What kind of app is it?

pastel trench

RPC apps need to be hosted in the same machine as the Discord app and also require the app open and working

solar sentinel
glad shuttle how

Run a server/VM with a desktop OS and then you are literally just offloading who/what has to be running 24/7.

Raspberry Pis would be a prime example

if you loginto discord.py using a usertoken you can do it, you dont need to have discord app open. but im pretty sure tho that this is against TOS

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

const activity = {

rich presence client i think

supposed to do stuff with your user basically, it's like that one vscode extension that shows what file youre editing

basically shows games youre playing, but im just using it for fun

pastel trench

Uhm?

nimble yarrow

nice, search somewhere else

atomic sparrow

I don't understand how the security of RPC works, can someone just set my RPC whenever they like? The only thing I need to do to set my rpc is specify my bot ID.

smoky scroll

Unless they get access to your email/password or account token which is used to create a websocket connection to Discord, they can't get RPC on your presence.

RPC works locally. This means that the RPC client (in this case, discord.js/rpc) communicates with the Discord client (in this case, discord.com/app, desktop clients, mobile apps, etc). The Discord client then communicates to the Discord API saying "hey, this person want their presence to be XYZ, and here is my email/password or account token to prove that my end user is who they claim to be".

atomic sparrow
smoky scroll

I can see it, because Discord is communicating your RPC info to my client, and everyone else's

atomic sparrow

Huh but how does discord know Im the one sending the RPC? Does it check IP address or something?

smoky scroll

bots cannot have rpc

sturdy gorge

how does RPC differ from "self-botting" ?

turbid socket

RPC is basically a transfer of data from your Discord client to wherever your origin is (your program, essentially), it can do a couple of things like connect to a voice channel, list guilds IIRC, etc. the most basic things (https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/rpc#commands-and-events-rpc-commands). RPC in this context is popular for allowing you to set your activity legally. what's the difference then? account automation is when either use the API with your account token to do any API call or connect to the WebSocket server of Discord to function like a normal account in a Discord app (say, for example, desktop), because Discord supposedly is the one that logs you in, sends a message or most things you can do in the user interface

keen venture

what different between login with ({ transport: 'websocket' })
and login with ({ transport: 'ipc' }) ?

spring dune

websocket is whitelisted, you have to apply for that from Discord.
ipc is exposed so you can use that without applying ^^

literally no similiarity in them

how to use rpc without discord client?

just with node

nimble yarrow
pastel trench

Is discord-rpc supposed to work only when a nodejs process is available? I'm trying it in a React app, but it totally doesn't work and I just keep getting lots of errors...
Firstly, I received an error from webpack saying that it's not able to compile the 'timers' module, then, after removing it from the discord-rpc, it successfully compiled but I receive a lot of runtime errors, like process is not defined.
So, is this package supposed to not work with something like a webpage (I tried because I saw "browser example" in the README...)?

pastel trench

Well, now there is another problem thinKappa
I keep getting "Connection closed" if I use "websocket" as transport, as shown in the example, and something like "o.createConnection is not a function" if I use "ipc"

I've heard that to use "websocket" we should be whitelisted by Discord... So there's no way? 😂

nimble yarrow

The RPC needs to be hosted on a nodejs app

and yes, websocket is whitelisted

see pins

pastel trench

Ok, thanks for the reply!

brittle nexus
left fjord

Then you're out of luck. Whatever you write will have to connect to rpc server running in the discord app.

And since websocket is whitelisted, you can only use IPC, which means that said discord app has to run next to your rpc stuff

You need to pass a redirect uri (one listed in your application redirect URIs) in the login method

you need a app to do that

yes

I added the client ID

thin tundra

you have to register

Like apply

thin tundra

it does not go were you define RPC

on the github link it shows you how to properly make a RPC

just ignore all the stuff that is not rpc related

if it says app on it then that is a part of electron and is unnecessary

ah

would that be the entire index.js file?

go in your settings and look in here make sure it is not disabled

you do this and you can have 2 buttons

djs Things to consider when getting a connection closed/could not connect error:
• What transport are you using? If it's 'websocket', change that to 'ipc'.
• Is the ID you are trying to login with your user ID? If so, you should be using a Client ID from the Developer Portal (https://discord.com/developers/applications) instead.
• Is the ID a string? If not, JavaScript will truncate it's value causing the connection to fail.
• Are you using the Discord app? It won't be able to connect to the web version. Similarly, bots cannot use RPC.
• Is your code running on the same machine as the Discord app?
• Are you trying to run it from WSL? If so, it won't be able to connect either.
• Have you installed Discord from the snap store? If so, install it from your distro's package repository or directly from the Discord website.

are you trying to set rpc on a bot? Thonk

rough trellis
rough trellis
nimble yarrow

you have to put your application id there, not the bot id

rough trellis

doesn't show the error but neither the rpc

nimble yarrow

where are you running the rpc code

rough trellis

the login is in the client.on ready event

but the rpc.on ready in a different file

nimble yarrow

and you are sure the ready event is being called

rough trellis

well if my bot loads up then yes

(i mean yes)

nimble yarrow

you said the rpc.on ready is in a different file, where do you actually call that in your main file

rough trellis

so my main is the command,slash cmd,events handler that goes through a folder that goes through another folder that goes to the file aka commands,slash cmds,events

but also in the main file is the Client.login

if you understand

if not then i can show the code

nimble yarrow

dont get it

you have to make sure the code in the file gets executed

rough trellis

it does get executed

nimble yarrow

if its not throwing an error, nor does it load, its not getting executed.

rough trellis

but then how does it send that the bot loaded

aight imma go figure this thing out then

nimble yarrow

I'm not speaking about your bots ready event

I'm speaking about the rpc's ready event

rough trellis

carp i'm dumb it was always using a new one but not the same one

yup that's the error it was always making a new one

still thanks for trying to help

:)
