CRP - Custom Rich Presence Client for Discord

Lightweight, simple client for showing custom Rich Presence on discord

Usage

Register a new discord application
- Go to discord developers dashboard.
- Click on the "New Application" button at the top right.
- Give it a name. The name will be your rich presence name. i.e. if your application's name is "Dyno", it will show in your status as "Playing Dyno"
- Copy your application ID.
- Go to the "Rich Presence" section of the application (in the navigation bar on the left)
- Add whatever image you want in the assets section.
Download the latest release from release's section. Download the zip of your operating system, unzip the file in a folder/directory of your choice.
After unzipping the files, there should be a config.toml file (you might not see the .toml extention depending on your system). Edit the config file to your needs with any text editor and save it. See more in config
Run the crp file (crp.exe / crp). It should open a command prompt
- If theres any error in your config file, it should show it
Now discord should show your rich presence.

Note

This will only work with the discord dekstop app. Due to limitations from discord, it is impossible to have rich presence on the browser version.

Config

The config.toml file is in Toml language, so the syntax follows its rules and specs.

The schema for the config file is as follows

ID = "" # Required

[State]
State = "" # Required
Details = "" # Required
StartTimestamp = ""
EndTimestamp = ""

[Images]
LargeImage = ""
SmallImage = ""
LargeImageTooltip = ""
SmallImageTooltip = ""

[Buttons]
FirstLabel = ""
FirstUrl = ""
SecondLabel = ""
SecondUrl = ""

If you miss any of the required field, the app doesn't run and instead warns you to check your config file again. All the other fields are optional, but there are some things to be kept in mind

Image tool tips obviously wont work if you don't specify any image name
If you specify a Button label, then a url for that button is required too. If you dont provide a url, it by default links to crp's github repo
If you specify both the start and end time, the start gets preference over the end.
If you do not need a functionality, its better to keep the value as just "", thought removing the entire key works. But don't keep the key name bare like LargeImage = where the "" are removed. Use LargeImage = "" instead. Anything extra added to the config file is ignored by the app.

Images and Assets

For setting images, go to the Discord Dev Portal and open your application's page, and open the Rich Presence section. There is a section named "Rich Presence Assets". Upload your image/photo there and give a name, for conveniences sake, don't put spaces in the names or too lengthy names. Give discord 5-10 mins to refresh your assets. Now open your config file. Put the name of your image in place of the LargeImage key and run the programme. It should show up.
