setDiscordApplicationID

setDiscordApplicationID()

Set a custom Discord ID so Discord Rich Presence will show "Playing <your game>" instead of "Playing Mudlet". This function is intended for game authors. Note that you can also set it automatically over GMCP, no pre-installation of scripts required. The Discord privacy option "Enable Lua API" must be enabled for this to work. Returns true if the Discord application ID is in the correct format.

If you're a game author, you can register your game over at Discord to obtain the "client ID" to be used for this function. Once you do so, make sure to upload the games icon as an art asset under the name of server-icon.

Mudlet calls the client ID an application ID to avoid confusion with the Discord's own client.

Note: Available since Mudlet 3.14

Example

-- set the ID to Mudlets own as an example
setDiscordApplicationID("450571881909583884")

setDiscordDetail

setDiscordElapsedStartTime(os.time(os.date("*t")))

setDiscordGame

setDiscordGame()

Sets the given game to be shown in the "detail" field and the game's icon as the large icon in Discord Rich Presence. See Discord docs for a handy image reference on where the detail and large icon is shown. This is an alternative way of showing which game you're playing - a better way, if you're the game author, is to use GMCP (no pre-installation of scripts required) or setDiscordApplicationID().

Currently supported games are: Achaea, Aetolia, Imperian, Luminari, Lusternia, MidMUD, Starmourn, WoTMUD. To add a new game to the list, get in touch.

If you're a game author, you can register your own game with Discord and upload your own icons instead of using the ones registered by Mudlet, see setDiscordApplicationID().
