Change Discord Rich Presence #8

Closed Ectalite closed 5 years ago

Ectalite commented 5 years ago

I would know if I there is way to change the discord rich presence ?

MysteryPancake commented 5 years ago

My bot sets the activity on line 12 (if this is what you are referring to).

This is the text displayed below the bot's name, for example I set it as Watching X servers, and Watching X reposts on line 42.

You can change the activity to whatever you want using setActivity.

If you mean an existing way to change the presence, there is currently no command for it. The bot activity is shared across all the servers it is on, so it may not be a good idea to add a command for this because anyone could change it on any server at any time.

I‘m hosting it on my raspberry at home and it‘s for friends servers. So i thing it‘s not a problem to add a command. But I thought to modify it in a config file. Le 12 janv. 2019 à 12:48 +0100, MysteryPancake notifications@github.com, a écrit :

I see what you mean, but for something like this I think it is better to change from the code directly.

Discord.js makes it easy to change the activity to custom values which would be difficult to configure from a file.

For example, it would be very difficult to implement text such as Watching X reposts using a config file, as X is a variable which can only be accessed from the code.

Similarly, it would be difficult to implement text such as Watching X servers, as again X is a variable which would be difficult to refer to.

Although these are just two specific examples, it will only get messier the more people want to use.

Ok, I think that's a good solution too to change from the code. I will see how I can make that, Thanks
