# EasyRP (Custom Discord Rich Presence)

EasyRP is a small program to use the discord-rpc, to make a custom rich presence/game on discord.  

using just an easy config file.

**Usage**

- First you need to register a Rich Presence application with discord

     - Go here https://discordapp.com/developers/applications/me

     - Make a new application **The name of the app will be the main name for the rich presence**

     - Enable rich presence for your app and add some assets

- Download the latest release of EasyRP from here https://github.com/Pizzabelly/EasyRP/releases 

  - if you are on Windows you also need [Visual C++ Redistributable](https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=48145)  

- Edit the config file with the information from your newly registered app

- Run the [EasyRP executable](https://github.com/Pizzabelly/EasyRP/releases) (it should open a cmd window)

    - It *should* report errors from your config file (if there are any)

- Discord should show the game on your profile

	- if not, add the exe as a game on discord and the file path should change to your presence

- You can edit the config any time while the program is running to change the presence (make sure to save the file)

 

**Timestamps**  

The Start and End timestamps are in epoch/unix time. 

Your desired values can be found [here](https://www.epochconverter.com/).

For elapsed time set only the StartTimestamp. For remaining time set both.

Though discord seems to only care about hours/minutes/seconds.

As it doesnt go above 24hrs either way ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯

**Building**  

To build EasyRP from source you need the following

  - any c++ compiler (cl, g++, clang++, etc)

  - Meson

  - Ninja

  - CMake (for discord-rpc library)  

  

Build discord-rpc  

  - ``` git clone https://github.com/Pizzabelly/EasyRP --recurse-submodules ```  

  - ``` cd EasyRP/discord-rpc ```  

  - ``` mkdir build && cd build ```  

  - ``` cmake .. -DENABLE_IO_THREAD=OFF ``` -DENABLE_IO_THREAD option will prevent a link error (see [#49](https://github.com/Pizzabelly/EasyRP/issues/49))  

  

Now depending on your platform building the discord-rpc library will be different  

  - Unix: ``` make ```  

  - Windows (visual studio): ``` msbuild /p:Configuration=Release ```  

  - Windows (mingw): ``` mingw32-make.exe ```  

Now the library should be under src/[lib]discord-rpc.[lib|a], move that to the root of the EasyRP repo  

  

To build EasyRP (in the root of the repo)  

  - ``` meson --buildtype=release build ```  

  - ``` ninja -C build ```  

  

Now the EasyRP executable will be under the build directory!
