Provides Discord Rich Presence support to Garry's Mod
In June 2018, Discord broke updating this through HTTP; so any Lua-based implementations of this are no longer possible. However, it is still possible (however impractical for servers) to use Rich Presence by using a binary module.
Clients need to put the gmcl_gdiscord_*.dll corresponding to the game's version in lua/bin/
Servers need to install a Lua script that syncs the game details to Discord. This can optionally be installed by players for support of single player or P2P games.
This .lua file needs to go in lua/autorun/client/ Installing this file on the server will have no effect on clients who do not have the required module installed.
The first step is to set up a Discord application so you can slightly customise the display
Create an application over at https://discordapp.com/developers/
Go into Rich Presence > Art Assets and upload images of each map you want, along with an optional default image. Ensure that each map is named correctly.
Copy the Client ID from General Information.
Open up the .lua file and change the following variables as needed:
- discord_id should be the Client ID you obtained earlier
- refresh_time should be how frequently you want the display to update
In order to display a default map image, you'll need to painfully create a list of which maps you have icons for. Put them into the map_list table.
Once that's done, ensure that map_restrict is set to true. Change map_default to the name of whatever the default icon should be.
- Open Visual Studio 2019 and clone this repository
- The default configuration should be "x86-Release" for the 32bit version
If you want the 64bit version select the "x64-Release" configuration - Select
Build->Build All - The .dll should now be in
gmod-discord-rpc/cpp/build/*-Release/
- Make sure you have git, cmake, and gcc installed
- Open a terminal and run
git clone https://github.com/Kesefon/gmod-discord-rpc --recursive
cd gmod-discord-rpc/cpp
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. && cmake --build .
- The .dll should now be in
