Custom Game IDs do not appear to be working as intended

[freakalope]

When setting up Custom Game IDs with Discord Developer Portal, the IDs don't appear to be read correctly from the customGameIDs.json file. I've provided how I've formatted my file below.

{
"Team Fortress 2 Classic": 1253954090245947415,
"Open Fortress": 1253959551682875465
}

This just has to be in the folder when running installer.sh, correct? I ran the installer again to be sure, but this is part of the error that comes up when the game is open:

[Jun 21 2024 - 23:55:44] found game Team Fortress 2 Classic played by Freakalope
[Jun 21 2024 - 23:55:45] could not find the steam app ID for Team Fortress 2 Classic
[Jun 21 2024 - 23:55:45] game changed, updating to 'Team Fortress 2 Classic'
[Jun 21 2024 - 23:55:45] fetching the Discord game ID for Team Fortress 2 Classic
[Jun 21 2024 - 23:55:45] could not find the discord game ID for Team Fortress 2 Classic, defaulting to well, the default game ID

I can confirm that if I set the default Discord Application ID in the config.json to "1253954090245947415", then steam-presence displays it correctly but duplicated, as it is just replacing "a game on steam" with "Team Fortress 2 Classic". This leads me to believe that my application ID is being read correctly in the config.json, but not customGameIDs.json.

If this is not functioning as intended or I am doing something wrong, please let me know.

sorry for the super late reply, but if you're still stuck on this and want it fixed - it seems like steam-presence just isn't reading the json file at all, it's supposed to go into the data folder, so steam-presence/data/customGameIDs.json

unsure if that's your problem, but it might be

I tried adding a custom game ID to the .json file as well (there actually appears to be one both in the steam-presence folder and in the steam-presence/data folder) without any luck (it reverts to the 'a game on steam' default).

How does the service match the custom ID to the game? I did ensure that the name of the game I used matched exactly as it appears in my Steam library.

Thanks for any insight you might be able to provide! Love using this program so far!!

the program opens data/customGameIDs.json, loops thru the json file and adds the "key" or "name" to a list, it strips "®, ©, ™, and ℠" from the names and makes them all lowercase - there shouldn't be any problem if you've added them to the right file but it might struggle with non-latin characters

would you mind posting the json file in a comment i can take a look at it and may figure something out?

{ "The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion": 1277761296674197595 }

It's just the one game I have there so far. I noted the semi-colon in the title and tried to remove that, then ran the install script again, since you mentioned non-latin characters as a potential problem. That Application ID is one that I created. Should I expect any sort of output from running the installer.sh that would mention that the .json was parsed?
