Discord Rich Text Prescence?

yeah, still working on this. I have been able to get Game using a custom Discord server. Invite URL: in the debug log. Then when I check the gmcp log it show:

{
  External = {
    Discord = {
      Info = {
        applicationid = "**bot-id**",
        inviteurl = "**discordinvite**"
      },
      Status = {
        details = "Playing a Game",
        game = "Dragonball Redemption",
        smallimagekey = "small1-icon",
        smallimagetext = "some small text",
        state = "Grinding"
      }
    }
  }
}

{
  External = {
    Discord = {
      Info = {
        applicationid = "**bot-id**",
        inviteurl = "**discordinvite**"
      },
      Status = {
        details = "Playing a Game",
        game = "Dragonball Redemption",
        smallimagekey = "small1-icon",
        smallimagetext = "some small text",
        state = "Grinding"
      }
    }
  }
}

but nothing happens. I have tried to follow https://wiki.mudlet.org/w/Manual:Scripting#Discord_Rich_Presence and https://wiki.mudlet.org/w/Standards:Discord_GMCP#External.Discord.Status, which I think is sending the correct items, but how do I make the client do anything? In the extra notes it says to ensure to enable gmcp Core.Supports.Add ["External.Discord 1"] this is client side I assume?

hence why i msg'd you 😉 Thanks, I will see wtf I gone done wrong. 😐 seems it's pushing the same as you, least the json looks the same.

Vadi•3y ago

what are the game connection details?

Braska/XinefusOP•3y ago

I don't have it enabled for all players yet. I just have an admin function that runs the external.discord.status

Vadi•3y ago

does discord even work for you and it doesnt say this?

Braska/XinefusOP•3y ago

it works. 🙂 but yeah, not sure why it doesn't do anytyhing.

Braska/XinefusOP•3y ago

Braska/XinefusOP•3y ago

lua display(gmcp) shows:

{
  External = {
    Discord = {
      Info = {
        applicationid = "ID",
        inviteurl = "URL"
      },
      Status = {
        details = "Get Some!",
        game = "Dragonball Redemption"
      }
    }
  }
}

{
  External = {
    Discord = {
      Info = {
        applicationid = "ID",
        inviteurl = "URL"
      },
      Status = {
        details = "Get Some!",
        game = "Dragonball Redemption"
      }
    }
  }
}

but i'm not sure how the bot-id interacts with things. What permissions perhaps?

Vadi•3y ago

bot id?

Vadi•3y ago

see https://wiki.mudlet.org/w/File:Mudlet_Discord_ApplicationID.png it needs to be client id

Mudlet

File:Mudlet Discord ApplicationID.png

This file contains additional information, probably added from the digital camera or scanner used to create or digitize it.

Braska/XinefusOP•3y ago

app id. hmm, maybe there is where I am going wrong. nope, that's the ID i'm using. 😦 so... is it a linux thing? Will it not recognize because I'm playing on a linux box? like.. it's just me personally? 😛

Vadi•3y ago

it was developed on linux - works fine in fact I see it for you now

Braska/XinefusOP•3y ago

well, i had to manually add that.. I was looking to make sure it was enabled on settings.. then just selected the mudlet appimage.. so I cheated does it have something to do with the client-id and OAuth2 permissions? I have a bot tied to this... does the bot need special permissions? my bot does mud-discord chat, which still works. so I'm a bit unsure if there is something missing.

Vadi•3y ago

I don't think it would be permission related

Braska/XinefusOP•3y ago

k. I'm not sure then. 😦

Vadi•3y ago

not sure either - there's only so much we can guess. I suggest giving your client id and a way to connect to the game to test

Braska/XinefusOP•3y ago

I will enable it game wide. and share details for login. I feel like it could just be me, lol.

SlySven ☕•3y ago

All we need to test is, I think, your Discord "Application" ID (it is typically an 18 digit number) which is needed to get the first line in the RP message to say "Playing <Application>" and to access the icons for YOUR game...

Braska/XinefusOP•3y ago

mud.dbredemption.com 7000. I haven't added an image. i mean I have a cover image in the app. but I haven't done any image updates through gmcp. AppID: 779015653599215616

SlySven ☕•3y ago

Our/Discords recommendation is a 1024x1024 .PNG and we recommend you upload/call it server-icon...

Braska/XinefusOP•3y ago

Braska/XinefusOP•3y ago

It's there.

SlySven ☕•3y ago

Ok, gimme a couple of minutes to spin up Qt Creator and build the current development code...

Braska/XinefusOP•3y ago

lol.

SlySven ☕•3y ago

Well the Application ID works - not sure about the Application's NAME though...

Braska/XinefusOP•3y ago

ok, it needs a specific name?

SlySven ☕•3y ago

And the switching between Games (MUDs) still works... 😌

Braska/XinefusOP•3y ago

does the name need to be something specific?

SlySven ☕•3y ago

Nope - and I noticed you just changed it...! 😀

Braska/XinefusOP•3y ago

yeah, simplified. how is it working for you and not me 😦

SlySven ☕•3y ago

It just makes sense to be something that can be put after "Playing " ...

Braska/XinefusOP•3y ago

it's like it's not updating my status..

SlySven ☕•3y ago

I'm entering the Application ID into the profile on the command line with - in your case - lua setDiscordApplicationID("779015653599215616")

Braska/XinefusOP•3y ago

I get ture true

SlySven ☕•3y ago

Yeah that means the lua command worked...

Braska/XinefusOP•3y ago

so my mudlet isn't talking to my discord?

SlySven ☕•3y ago

Lets check your settings...

Braska/XinefusOP•3y ago

but I can click on all the fancy icons and get to my server and this server.

Braska/XinefusOP•3y ago

This I mean.

SlySven ☕•3y ago

That's totally separate...

Braska/XinefusOP•3y ago

ok.

SlySven ☕•3y ago

What OS are you using?

Braska/XinefusOP•3y ago

I'm all ready to listen,.

Braska/XinefusOP•3y ago

SlySven ☕•3y ago

And you are using a Release version of Mudlet you installed?

Braska/XinefusOP•3y ago

I think that would be more accurate, the about mudlet. I'm running from an appimage I downloaded. lol your statuses make me laugh

SlySven ☕•3y ago

Right, the options in the "Chat" tab for your Discord profile are left at the defaults I take it:

Braska/XinefusOP•3y ago

yep

Braska/XinefusOP•3y ago

I'm going to have to grab my kid from his birthday party. I really appreciate the quick support. I should be back a bit later. sorry to run out.

SlySven ☕•3y ago

And the Discord option is set in the profile's options:

SlySven ☕•3y ago

Okay...

Braska/XinefusOP•3y ago

yes it's set.

SlySven ☕•3y ago

🤔 Well, we'll have to dive deeper later on then... 👋

Braska/XinefusOP•3y ago

Yes ticked.

SlySven ☕•3y ago

Ah, so do you get the (default) "Playing Mudlet" Rich Presence showing on Discord when you start Mudlet...?

Braska/XinefusOP•3y ago

I do not. :( And I think that is my problem. I may try compiling and installing Mudlet to see if that will do anything.

SlySven ☕•3y ago

If you can get the AppImage to run from the command line one of the first lines of the debug output that Mudlet emits onto the command line is something about whether the RPC library was loaded - as I highlight here when I am running my recently complied code within Qt Creator:

Braska/XinefusOP•3y ago

I will look soon. I have successfully run it from terminal, but I don't think I've seen that line.

SlySven ☕•3y ago

Ah, yeah - you can do that easily enough, once you have untarred the file we make available at: https://www.mudlet.org/download/ you can run it directly from the command line:

doesn't look like it. oh wait, first line.

SlySven ☕•3y ago

Oh, poo! Right, next question... Are you running more than one Discord application at the same time, I mean are you running more than one of these at the same time! * "Discord" (the main version, the "Release" one, the oldest of the three) * "Discord-PTB" (the "Public Test Beta" one, likely has some features/bugs/bugfixes than the main one but is newer) * "Discord-Canary" (the bleeding edge "Alpha" one, very probable has more features/bugs/bugfixes than the main one but is the bleeding edge one) Most people do NOT do this, but there have been some exceptional situations where it is useful to run more than one!

Braska/XinefusOP•3y ago

Nope.

SlySven ☕•3y ago

Okay. I'm not sure what else could be going wrong. Are you in a position to build a copy of Mudlet yourself? If so there is a #DEFINE that is normally commented out in the ./src/discord.cpp file that can be un-commented (line 32 in the file) to generate debug messages that make tracking what is happening easier...

Thanks! I'm still learning Mudlet. Heheh I don't have time to dig into this today unfortunately, however I did try to login to ThresholdRPG and it did not show up either. However, I opened up Lutris to see if that did anything and it automatically changed my status... but if I have mudlet running it doesn't seem to do anything. 😦 so is it something to do with how mudlet is talking to my pc? I'll have to dig into doing a fresh install of mudlet and discord and go from there. Happy Sunday.

SlySven ☕•3y ago

TBH it sounds like the Mudlet + the Discord RPC library code (archived - so unchanging - at https://github.com/discord/discord-rpc) is not connecting to the Discord application... Oh, it has been un-archived - and it seems there is a small change to the "Party" details. https://github.com/discord/discord-rpc/commit/963aa9f3e5ce81a4682c6ca3d136cddda614db33 I guess @Vadi we might want to look to pull in that change to our copy of the library?

Let's see if someone asks for it first I haven't yet seen anyone implement parties yet..

SlySven ☕•3y ago

You haven't been checking my RP - I've been mis-using it for a while now...

SlySven ☕•3y ago

atari2600tim•3y ago

I think Mudlet lets you say that you are in a party with 3 of 5 slots taken, but does not have the clickable thing to where you can join in. https://discord.com/rich-presence shows some examples where there are options to join, ask to join, spectate. Mudlet has some stub functions that print a debug message when someone clicks to Join or Spectate or whatever, but probably nothing for creating them. https://github.com/Mudlet/Mudlet/blob/development/src/discord.cpp#L301

SlySven ☕•3y ago

Those stubs were/are purely for debugging - the normal usage of those buttons are to invite the other party to start up their copy of the application (think something like a FPS e.g. Doom™️) and to join in or watch the same game as the originator is playing. Mudlet cannot - I think - do exactly that because not only would the button clicker's copy of Mudlet have to start up, it would also have to connect up to the same MUD as the originator is playing. If that is a MUD that does provide a Discord Application ID to Mudlet - so that Mudlet can cause the RP to show THAT MUD (like the IRE ones do) then it might be possible to fire up a connection, but not otherwise (when the RP just reports "Playing Mudlet")...
