GW2-DiscordLink

GW2-DiscordLink is a Discord Rich Presence utility program for Guild Wars 2.

How does it work

GW2-DiscordLink does utilize the MumbleLink API and the official GW2-API to gather information about the current game state (Playername, Mapname, Profession, Specialization).

Note: Due the limitation of MumbleLink API the specializations can only be queried over the GW2-API which does require a API-Key with at least the builds right to function properly. (It's still possible to use this GW2-DiscordLink with no API-Key, but only core professions are shown when you play the game)

Features

• Display character name and current map
• Display how long the Character stayed on the map
• Display profession / specialization icon besides Guild Wars 2 Logo
• If own Discord API Key is used, Artwork can be freely changed
• Support for multiple languages

Configure

Create or modify the settings.json like below and place it right along the .exe file

{
	"discord-api-key": "450300626241454082",
	"lang": "en",

	"gw2-path": "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Guild Wars 2\\Gw2-64.exe",
	"gw2-api-key": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-00000000000000000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000",
	"gw2-cmd": "-maploadinfo"
}

• discord-api-key: This is the key for Discord Rich Presence
• lang: For language, see below which languages are supported
• gw2-path: Can either be empty ("") or the path to your Gw2-64.exe which only needed if Guild Wars 2 should be started with this program and Gw2-DiscordLink should exit immediately after Guild Wars 2 was exited.
• gw2-cmd: Additional program arguments for Guild Wars 2
• gw2-api-key: Can either be empty ("") or a valid API Key for Guild Wars 2

Supported Languages:

• English (en)
• Deutsch (de)
• Français (fr)
• Español (es)

(Currently a language must also be supported by the GW2-API if specializations are used.)
