Godot Discord Game SDK

Notice 2024/05/31 This project has remained largely untouched for a few years now, and I don't currently have the bandwidth for a rewrite, so I am choosing to archive it. If you would like to maintain the project, feel free to fork or send me an email.

NOTE: This wrapper is still under development.

A Discord Game SDK wrapper for Godot, written using GDNative C for Windows, Linux and MacOS.

Make sure to use the Release version of the library on Windows if you do not have the MS Build Tools installed, or it will crash.

Quickstart

Head over to the Project Template and follow the instructions in the README.

Downloading

If you can't or don't want to compile the library yourself head to the actions page, or download a specific release.

Compiling & Installing

• Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/LennyPhoenix/GodotDiscordSDK.git

  • Update submodules:

  cd GodotDiscordSDK
  git submodule update --init --recursive --remote

• Either:

  • Run the setup script:

  • Windows: setup.bat

  • Linux/OSX: sh setup.sh

  • Or manually setup:

  • Download the Discord Game SDK (2.5.6).

  • Copy the discord_game_sdk.h file from the c/ folder of the SDK, and place it in the src/ folder of the repo.

  • On Windows:

    • Place the discord_game_sdk.dll.lib file from the lib/x86 folder of the SDK in the lib/ of the repo and rename it to discord_game_sdk.32.lib.

      Do the same with the discord_game_sdk.dll.lib file from the lib/x86_64 folder, renaming it to discord_game_sdk.64.lib.

  • On Linux:

    • Place the discord_game_sdk.so file from the lib/x86_64 folder of the SDK in the lib/ folder of the repo and rename it to libdiscord_game_sdk.so.

  • On MacOS:

    • Place the discord_game_sdk.dylib file from the lib/x86_64 folder of the SDK in the lib/ folder of the repo and rename it to libdiscord_game_sdk.dylib.

  • Make sure to place the appropriate Discord Game SDK shared library in the demo's bin directory (ensure it is also placed in any exports, this should be automatic if it is selected as a dependency).

    These files can be retrieved from the lib/x86 and lib/x86_64 folders of the SDK. (x86 being 32-Bit, and x86_64 being 64-Bit)

    NOTE: On Linux/OSX you may have to add lib to the beginning of these shared library's names.

• Install SCons: (If not already installed)

  • Download and install Python (Make sure to add to PATH)
  • Install SCons: python -m pip install -U scons
  • (Optional) Reload your terminal to update the path variables.

• Compile the library:

  • Windows Example: scons platform=windows bits=64
  • Linux Example: scons platform=linux
  • MacOS Example: scons platform=osx

• The compiled binaries will be available from the demo's bin directory.

  NOTE: The output directory for the compiled binaries can be changed by passing the target_path parameter in scons, e.g scons platform=windows bits=64 target_path=project/bin

• These may now be used in a GDNative library in your godot project. See the demo project for an example.

• Ensure that the .gdns files are all located in the same folder as the .gdnlib's folder, otherwise the library will not work.

• All the classes required can be accessed from the Discord class as preloaded constants.
