Discord-RPC

I will write proper docs when the 2nd Sykoo game jam is over. Until then if you need help contact me on Discord (vic485#0001).

Basic instructions: Step 0 - Setting up an app.

Navigate to https://discordapp.com/developers Under My Apps click create new app and give it the name of your game. Make note of the client id. You will need this later.

Step 1 - Setting up the project

Download the latest windows zip file from here Note: If you want to output to other OSes download their files, but you may need to compile them yourself, and you can only have one set of DLL files active at a time. !Unload and change dll files BEFORE changing your build settings!

Under your project's base assets folder, create a folder called "Plugins" Inside this folder create two more folders "x86" and "x86_64" (You should now have "Assets/Plugins/x86/" and "Assets/Plugins/x86_64/"

Place each discord-rpc.dll in it's respective folder. (win32-dynamic goes in x86 and win64-dynamic goes in x86_64)

In the inspector change the platform settings for each dll file. The dll in x86 should only have x86 checked and the dll in x86_64 should only have x86_64 checked. !!YOU WILL GET ERRORS WHEN YOU TRY TO PLAY IF YOU DO NOT DO THIS!!

Step 2 - Creating the manager

I would recommend doing this early on in the game (such as the splash screens or main menu) as it can take a few seconds to connect to discord and for the presence to show up on your profile.

Create an empty gameobject in your scene and name it PresenceManager Add the PresenceManager script to the object. From the add component menu, this is located under Scripts->DiscordPresence->PresenceManager

Put the client id from step 0 into the Application ID box, and set initial states for your game. (You should only need to change state, details, and image texts/keys. Everything else should be their default values at start and changed via script at runtime unless otherwise necessary.)

Step 3 - Updating presence in game

Scripts needing to update rich presence will need: using DiscordPresence; at the top.

To update the presence call: PresenceManager.UpdatePresence(); and pass it the parameters you want to change.

PresenceManager.ClearPresence(); will change everything back to default values.

PresenceManager.ClearAndUpdate(); will do the same as ClearPresence AND tell discord to remove the values of the presence. ONLY do this when necessary as discord will only let you change presence at most ONCE EVERY FIFTEEN SECONDS.

And you should be good to go. Make sure to read through the FAQ and Best Practices and everything under Rich Presence on the discord developers page. This will give you a lot of information and may help if I missed some stuff here until I get the proper docs written.

If you would like to improve stuff or contribute, please feel free to fork the code and create a pull request. Also contact me on Discord so I know what's going on/can add you as a contributor.
