*: huge refactor the config file has changed drastically, moving to an ini file from that custom format; i *would* have used the win32 functions for those, but they were barely functional, so I decided on using ini.h which is lightweight enough. additionally, I've added Deezer support so album art will be displayed! unfortunately though winhttp is a pain in the ass so if I send a request with any form of unicode chars in it it just returns a "bad request" error. I've tried debugging this but I could never really come up with anything: my hypothesis is that deezer expects their characters in percent-encoded UTF-8, but winhttp is sending them in some other encoding. the config dialog was moved out of config.c (overdue) and many more options are given in the config as well. main.c has been renamed to plugin.c to better differentiate it from... everything else.

# Discord GameSDK Winamp Plugin

This plugin is largely based off of clandrew's [wdrp](https://github.com/clandrew/wdrp). You can look at the screenshots in that repository, it looks pretty much identical.

### Installing
You'll want to put gen_DiscordGameSDK.dll into the `Plugins` directory, and discord_game_sdk.dll into the `Winamp` directory.

### Configuration
The config file is located at `%AppData%\Roaming\Winamp\Plugins\wgsdk\config.txt`. It's pretty straightforward how to edit it.

### Differences to wdrp
* uses GameSDK (obviously)
* written in C instead of C++
* uses a Makefile instead of Visual Studio
* several other coding differences (e.g. there's no classes in C)

### How to compile
(Disclaimer: This guide is written for Windows users.)

First of all, you want to install the [Winamp SDK](http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?t=252090). Now you just need the [Discord GameSDK](https://discord.com/developers/docs/game-sdk/sdk-starter-guide#step-1-get-the-thing).

Then, make sure the repository directory structure looks like this:

```
C:.
├───discord_game_sdk
│   ├───c
│   ├───cpp
│   └───...
└───src
    └───include
```

Now, just run `make`. If you have all the build tools properly installed it should work.
