[Feature Request] Add a better Discord Rich Presence.
Title.
When you open a game like Counter-Strike 1.6 it gets displayed as Half-Life we can change it to the specific game name also we could display server IP or Server Name, for example.
This is definitively possible because Sven Co-op and OpenAG implemented Discord RPC.
Maybe it can be done at engine level, don't know how Discord RPC images work but it would be worth trying to pass the icon
and game
values defined in the game's liblist.gam
file.
If that's the case, same could be added to Steam RPC
@mikela-valve is this possible or is something Steam related?
Any HL1 mod can have DiscordRPC programmed in the client, you don't need engine/Steamworks access for that.
In the case of official Valve games (CS, HL1, TFC, DMC, Ricochet...), it might be necessary to do some client <-> engine communication to confirm that it's indeed Ricochet, CS, HL1 that is being played.
On second thought, I doubt it would happen for 2 reasons: it needs time and effort that can be spent elsewhere and Discord is a "rival" of Steam.
As for SteamRPC, it would require an update to Steamworks library and some extra work.
I'm just giving my opinion on this, let's wait for an answer from Valve.
@mikela-valve check this please
so, is it possible?
Is there any progress on the subject?
It's so annoying that it looks like Half-Life 😔
