Discord Presence test component
This test branch builds two 32-bit native Windows components:
DiscordPresence.dll— loaded by VanillaFixes; reads WoW 1.12.1 character state read-only, writes the status snapshot, and starts the companion from its worker thread after WoW startup.DiscordPresence.exe— invisible companion that only reads the status file and talks to Discord IPC. It no longer launches WoW.
The normal game launch path stays unchanged:
Play Modernized WoW
-> VanillaFixes.exe WoW_Modernized.exe
-> WoW_Modernized.exe
-> DiscordPresence.dll
-> DiscordPresence.exe
The OctoWoW Discord Application ID is built into DiscordPresence.exe:
1544072796098011176
No manual Application ID setup is required. Advanced users may optionally create a
discord_application_id text file to override the built-in ID.
Runtime data is stored under:
<WoW folder>\.modernization_tool\DiscordPresence\
discord_wow_status.json
discord_broadcast_flags
DiscordPresence.log
discord_application_id (optional override)
The companion is never launched from DllMain; it is started only from the DLL worker
thread after the startup delay. The DLL never performs Discord IPC, and the companion
never reads or writes WoW memory.
