See also: setDiscordElapsedStartTime, setDiscordRemainingEndTime

Available in Mudlet3.14+

Example

display(getDiscordTimeStamps())

setDiscordApplicationID

setDiscordApplicationID(id)

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. This will currently (as of Mudlet 4.9.1) bypass the Discord privacy option "Enable Lua API" on future sessions if a non-empty id is specified. 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 this the Application ID to avoid confusion with Mudlet being a game client - however Discord uses both Application ID and Client ID to refer to this detail (which seems to be an 18 digit number).

Parameters

• id: (required) id as a string.

See also: setDiscordGame, usingMudletsDiscordID

Available in Mudlet3.14+

Example

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

Note: So you do not have to remember that long number you can also reset to the default Mudlet ID by calling this function without an argument:

setDiscordApplicationID()

setDiscordDetail

setDiscordDetail(text)

Sets the text to be shown in the detail field of Discord Rich Presence. See Discord docs for a handy image reference on where the detail is shown. Note that this will overwrite the same information set by setDiscordGame().

See also: getDiscordDetail, setDiscordGame

Note: To ensure privacy, the detail will only be shown if the Lua API is enabled and the detail is not hidden.

Available in Mudlet3.14+

Example

-- set detail to your character name in-game, as an example
setDiscordDetail("Vadi")

setDiscordElapsedStartTime

setDiscordElapsedStartTime(time)

Sets the time to be shown for "## elapsed" field in Discord Rich Presence. See Discord docs for a handy image reference on where the elapsed time is shown.

Parameters

• time: (required) time as a Unix time. To get the current Unix time in Lua, use os.time(os.date("*t")).

See also: setDiscordRemainingEndTime

Note: To ensure privacy, the time will only be shown if the Lua API is enabled and the time is not hidden.

Available in Mudlet3.14+

Example

-- set the timer to start counting up from now:
setDiscordElapsedStartTime(os.time(os.date("*t")))

setDiscordGame

setDiscordGame(text)

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.

See also: setDiscordApplicationID

Note: To ensure privacy, the game and icon will only be shown if the Lua API is enabled, and detail and large icon are set to show.

Available in Mudlet3.14+

Example

setDiscordGame("WoTMUD")

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().

Note: To ensure privacy, the icon will only be shown if the Lua API is enabled and the large icon is not hidden.
