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

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

• Run the EasyRP executable (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. 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)

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!
