MassiveMacro

Massive text for Discord with the power of massive.py.

Running and building

Python 3.7 and Pipenv are required to run and build MassiveMacro.

To run MassiveMacro directly:

$ pipenv install
$ pipenv run python run.py

Compiled executables are located in the bin directory:

Windows

build.bat compiles an executable for Windows, and for Linux if WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) is installed, called MassiveMacro.exe and massivemacro_linux respectively.

linux\build.bat can be called from the root MassiveMacro directory to only compile an executable for Linux if WSL is installed.

Building a Linux executable on WSL requires qt5-default to be installed. An executable built on WSL displays Fontconfig errors in the terminal when run, but otherwise functions normally.

windows\build.bat can be called from the root MassiveMacro directory to only compile an executable for Windows.

windows\pull_and_build.bat pulls the latest version of MassiveMacro from GitHub before calling windows\build.bat.

If signtool from the Windows 10 SDK is installed, windows\sign_private.bat is automatically called to sign the executable.

signtool can also be installed by installing windows-sdk-signing-tools from here using Scoop.

windows\sign_private.bat can be written like so:

@echo off
call windows\sign.bat %PFX_FILE% %PASSWORD%

Linux

sh linux/build.sh can be run from the root MassiveMacro directory to compile a Linux executable. The compiled executable is called massivemacro_linux.

sh linux/pull_and_build.sh can be run from the root MassiveMacro directory to pull the latest version of MassiveMacro from GitHub before running linux/build.sh.

macOS

sh macos/build.sh can be run from the root MassiveMacro directory to compile a macOS executable. The script generates an executable called massivemacro_macos, a .app called MassiveMacro.app and an archive that contains MassiveMacro.app called MassiveMacro.zip.

macos/build.sh signs the .app with the "MassiveMacro" certificate by default.

sh macos/pull_and_build.sh can be run from the root MassiveMacro directory to pull the latest version of MassiveMacro from GitHub before running macos/build.sh.

If the .app file does not open, Platypus should be used with the .app file being added to the bundled files and the script written as such:

#!/bin/bash
./MassiveMacro.app/Contents/MacOS/massivemacro

If there is a Platypus profile at bin/MassiveMacro.platypus, it is automatically executed when macos/build.sh is run.

Usage

MassiveMacro is primarily built for Discord, but it works in other applications as well to varying degrees. Vanessa text works flawlessly on other instant messaging platforms such as Skype and Steam.

Messages longer than 2000 characters (Discord's character limit) are automatically split into multiple messages by default.

The command line option --no-gui can be used to disable the GUI.

Precompiled binaries are available for Windows, Linux and macOS 10.13+.

Key bindings

Default key bindings:

Massive Vanessa text causes random words to be misspelled.

Multiple messages can be sent at once on Discord by typing multiple lines in the same message by pressing Shift+Enter then using one of the above key bindings.

Linux

On Linux, MassiveMacro requires xsel to be installed:

$ sudo apt install xsel

When the GUI is enabled, Qt 5 is also required:

$ sudo apt install qt5-default

Additionally, MassiveMacro is built against glibc 2.23, which means it only runs with glibc 2.23 or newer.

macOS

MassiveMacro needs either root or accessibility permissions. To use the .app, whitelist the .app. Otherwise, whitelist the terminal.
