# 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.
