Discord Rich Presence failing to work

Tristen · 2021-07-11T10:23:20.894Z

hi! ive been doing server development for like 1 year or 2 right… i know front and back about resources and shit so i aint dumb

so i load up to my vps and decide i wanna develop my rich presence for my server because it has some advertising leads to it since you can press and button and you can make players link it to a website which is sick as fuck right

i have an older resource that ive used for around 12 months now for previous servers and it’s worked perfectly fine since. i decide to make a new discord dev application so i dont use my previous server dev app. i ensure the script and i load into the server. i connect to the fivem rich presence and then it says im connecting to my server and then disappears. literally no client and server errors in any console and i dont know what i did wrong. i had a friend give me his rich presence resource and it works literally perfectly fine??? we have the same line of code. ill present both lines here in a second, but heres a video of my activity of when i open fivem and connect to my server.

friends code:

so wtf did i do wrong? am i supposed to wait for like discord to verify something or some shit like what? this is pissing me off because it literally works fine for my friend but it doesnt for me like what what did i do wrong

Hope it works for you

hmm… no it still doesnt work, but the loop is working, proven by this:

def moving this situation to be something wrong with the natives above the small presence changing loop. i see LITERALLY nothing wrong with them, i dont understand

double_t74 · 2021-07-12T08:49:00.334Z

Try this, it should work now.

Citizen.CreateThread(function()
    while true do
        local playerId = GetPlayerServerId(PlayerId())
        local playerName = GetPlayerName(PlayerId())

        SetDiscordRichPresenceAction(0, 'Wanna know what Tempest is? Check out our website!', 'https://www.tempestcommunity.com')
        SetDiscordRichPresenceAction(1, 'Join our Discord community too!', 'https://discord.tempestcommunity.com')
        SetRichPresence(string.format('%s [%d] - Players: %d / 128', playerName, playerId, #GetActivePlayers()))
        Citizen.Wait(10000)
    end
end)

Tristen · 2021-07-12T23:57:56.347Z

Still doesn’t seem to work… I don’t know what the issue is here. I really hope I ain’t disturbing @nta by pinging him on the Forums but I personally don’t think something is right here… I’ll provide any necessary information if you need any but this is really annoying me…

Tristen · 2021-07-14T03:41:57.344Z

Anyone find a fix yet?

[How-to] [Updated] Discord rich presence Custom Image

Modding Tutorials

If you have a discord account go to https://discordapp.com/developers/applications/ First make a new application by clicking the “Create an application” [tutorial1] When you create a new application, you will see a similar page as shown below on the foto. You will have to copy the Application id (See the arrow) and save it for later. [tutorial2] Now you need to navigate to te left navigation bar and go to Rich Presence>Art Assets. [tutorial3] This is where the magic starts, here yo…

I followed this tutorial and it works perfectly for me. So atleast the discord natives are working.

Make sure that you are using the right application ID. I’ve had a issue like this before and it was caused by a incorrect application ID.

Tristen · 2021-07-14T17:51:01.518Z

Just followed the tutorial and it hasn’t worked for me. I’ve even tried changing the Application ID, resource name, clearing server cache and even clearing my own client cache and it still does not seem to work. What the absolute fuck am I doing wrong? Here is my current code:

MasiBall · 2021-07-14T18:00:05.859Z

Has any other user tried this? If it works for other users, then we would know for sure that the issue isn’t in the code? Can you have some other player try if it works him?

Tristen · 2021-07-14T19:56:24.432Z

We just confirmed that it doesn’t work for my friend’s server as well. This def has something wrong with the code.

Tristen · 2021-07-16T16:25:07.562Z

Bump, still need help with this. Server release is starting soon and we need this ASAP.

MasiBall · 2021-07-17T09:24:59.013Z

Yup, We already figured it out in discord. The issue was the application ID.

Tristen · 2021-07-17T12:39:16.998Z

Yeah, the Application ID and some variables in the other natives are very specific on what it wants, for example, if you have too much characters in SetDiscordRichPresenceAction and such, it’ll trickled out and fail to work. Still configuring it so it works with buttons but it’s just very picky. I have no clue why this is still a bit of an issue for me and my server but it’s slowly working, still need to set up the buttons and such.

Tristen · 2022-08-05T16:52:26.418Z

Found the error. There is a character limit for these variables. No idea what the limit is but try to keep everything small…

AOR_Dobby · 2022-12-13T19:19:55.338Z

I am having the same issue, can I see your code? I am using the one your friend posted, and for some reason it still doesn’t show up. Its not even coming up in the resource monitor on client side. But in the VPS it says it’s running. I am honestly clueless. It was working fine a month ago, and randomly stopped working now.

DomeTeam · 2024-04-04T23:08:29.814Z

Thanks mate!
