[OLD] Fix for Discord Modifications not Loading (don't use anymore) (client mods work now)

fixdiscordmodstuff.md

Discord Client Mods

• These are some great client mods that will work.

1. Replugged
   • Github
   • Installer
2. Vencord
   • Installer
3. Shelter
   • Installation (manual)

Just use one of the client mods above

How to undo the downgrading

1. Edit the settings.json and remove the WEBAPP_ENDPOINT entry
   • Find it here
2. Do not run Discord with --disable-web-security
   • Windows: "%localappdata%\Discord\app-1.0.9006\Discord.exe" --disable-web-security (but replace the path with where it really is)
   • Other systems: Discord Executable Locations

Ignore the directions below

WARNING: DO NOT JOIN SERVERS WITH THIS OR YOUR ACCOUNT MAY BE TERMINATED (according to eternal) (could not reproduce)

This is a crappy workaround but I haven't found anything else that works

Warning | This is a temporary fix until client mods start working with swc. Swc plugins and mods will not work with this.

If you don't understand what this stuff means, then you probably shouldn't use it.

Instructions

1. Displunger
   • SomeAspy#9999 is hosting a displunger instance at https://displunger.aspy.dev/
   • To selfhost:
     • https://gitlab.com/derpystuff/displunger
     • don't forget to npm i before doing node displunger
2. Edit the settings.json and add "WEBAPP_ENDPOINT": "http://127.0.0.1:3000/launch/3356503f99cffc142754165f17e9a13bfd708953", in the middle or something (replace http://127.0.0.1:3000/ with the instance you're using)
   • Scroll down to the settings.json section to find the path
3. Run Discord with --disable-web-security
   • Windows: "%localappdata%\Discord\app-1.0.9006\Discord.exe" --disable-web-security (but replace the path with where it really is)
   • Other systems: Discord Executable Locations

Other things to know:

• Displunger must be running whenever you start Discord
• Message links will have the displunger url (e.g. 127.0.0.1:3000) instead of discord.com.
  • Asportnoy's canary-links plugin for Powercord and Replugged can fix this issue.
• You will have to log back in.
  • Login with QR does not work.
• Trying to use Update.exe in the command for Windows will not work.

Possible Issues

• Slash commands do not work.
• Goosemod does not work.
• Voice channels, stickers, and file uploads work for some users, but not for others.
  • @MichaelDavidGK commented that it should work if you set the WEBAPP_ENDPOINT to HTTPS (SSL)

Comment with suggestions, fixes, bugs, or whatever

donate to whoever runs discord.sale if you can, they're making this all work

latest build that works for me is WEBAPP_ENDPOINT": "http://localhost:3000/launch/3356503f99cffc142754165f17e9a13bfd708953" (build after is what broke all the mods)

Paths for Linux:

Settings

Executable

/opt/discord/Discord

for some reason i needed --disable-gpu to disable CORS however it removes GPU acceleration, any workarounds?

just removed --disable-gpu after actually signing in, it appears to only be required when signing in?

Voice channels, stickers, and file uploads might not work unless you set it to HTTPS (SSL)

I'd recommend changing the hosted displunger instance's link to https://displunger.vendicated.dev/ instead.
It's hosted by @Vendicated (VendyMachine#8485) , a more uhhhh trustworthy member of the clientmodding community

Getting an error on canary:

EDIT: Resolved, apparently I'm an idiot and forgot a comma on the last argument in the json when adding the WEBAPP argument.

so, if I'm using vendicated's or aspy's hosts do I still need to have displunger open?

@Absumm if you're using Ven or Aspy's displunger instance, you do not need to run your own on your PC.

The build seems to have been cleared from discords cdn, any alternatives?
vendy's displunger is returning 404s never mind seems to work now

seems to be down again, returning "Build not found"

Just hop on vencord or something it's way too outdated at this point

Or the Replugged rewrite

Works fine for me

But yes, at this point people should switch to Vencord or the replugged rewrite
