disclaimer: i do not know a single bit of coding

This is a great plugin, but I wanted to change a few values for myself (mainly changing the asset icons and what metadata is displayed), so I cloned and tried building without changing anything as a test, but it gave me this error:

XMPlayDiscordStatus\source\XMPlayDiscordStatus.vcxproj : warning : The build tools for Visual Studio 2013 - Windows XP (v120_xp) cannot be found. Install Visual Studio 2013 - Windows XP (v120_xp) to build using the Visual Studio 2013 - Windows XP (v120_xp) build tools.

I didn't have that on me and I don't really have the disk space for another version of Visual Studio, so I decided to just change the platform toolset and the SDK version to what is currently on my computer. [SDK version 10.0.19041.0, Visual Studio 2019 (v142)]
Afterwords, I tried building, but it failed with 26 errors, 24 being in rpc.h and 2 being in main.cpp.

Here's log one: build1.txt

I did a little bit of rudimentary research, and apparently I can get rid of the 24 errors by adding #pragma once to the beginning of the header, so I went and did that, and I tried building once again. This time it failed with only two errors, the same two that were in main.cpp.

Log two: build2.txt

I looked up what error C2440 was about, and I found this link and I decided to attempt to fix it by changing these two lines

with

const char* pszFirstLine = "No tracks playing.";
const char* pszSecondLine = "";

and tried building again. This time, it works! But... upon loading the plugin in XMPlay, the program crashes. Upon debugging, I found this:

This is at

At this point, I'm at a standstill and I don't know what to do from here. Thank you once again, and sorry for the trouble!

After putting both files in the plugin folder, nothing happens. Is there something I am doing wrong, or is there a problem with the files?
