Osu: Implement Discord Rich Presence into osu!

[ghost]

Rich Presence allows you to leverage the totally overhauled "Now Playing" section in a Discord user's profile to help people play your game together. Rich game data—including duration, score, current boss or map, and so much more—lives inside a user's profile alongside buttons that let you spectate or join a friend's game directly from Discord, or get a notification when it's over.

_NOTE: The "Notify Me" feature is coming soon._

All you need is Discord's header file, and Discord's library.
In the header file, you'll find five event-emitting callbacks:

• ready()
• errored()
• disconnected()
• joinGame()
• spectateGame()

These five callbacks make up the entirety of what you need to implement. Behind the scenes, they do all the heavy lifting for you.

Are you planning on implementing this?

[ghost]

I would, but you need to apply for the Gamebridge program.

[ghost]

Also (if you apply) make sure you mention the usage of Rich Presence,

[peppy]

I've applied; will be in touch when I hear back. Are you on our discord network?

[ghost]

Yes, I'm not verified yet tho.

[peppy]

After discussion with discord, it looks like we're best re-visiting this once we're closer to being live. They are looking for already deployed projects to test with.

We should revisit this in 2018.

• It is closed.
• This issue is about adding it to the new osu! client.

Is it planned for osu!lazer?

[peppy]

Yes, we should be adding it at some point.

[cryy]

I know this issue is about osu!lazer however, I'd like to propose a change to the current osu! client.

osu! rich presence on discord is very terse. It provides the beatmap name and the beatmap difficulty. For users, naturally, it'd be hard to find the exact beatmap they're playing. Coming from me, a discord bot developer, including more details like the beatmap creator, proper field for a song and a proper field for the difficulty instead of laying it out in a artist - beatmap name [difficulty] layout would be way more useful to be able to interact and have a sort of a "middleware" between osu! and Discord.

I have been wondering about the osu!lazer rich presence it's been a long time now and still no update about it is it planned to be added this year or?

[peppy]

You are welcome to help add support! If you've been following the change log i'm sure that you can see that we've been busy with other tasks.

[LeNitrous]

I'm interested in helping out as well.

Moving discussion to this issue. What parts of discord presence are to be implemented for lazer? Or should just feature parity with stable be aimed for (in which case it would be nice to know what parts stable implements)?
