Repository for GameMaker's Discord Extension

This repository was created with the intent of presenting users with the latest version available of the extension (even previous to marketplace updates) and also provide a way for the community to contribute with bug fixes and feature implementation.

This extension will work on Windows, macOS and Linux.

VISUAL STUDIO SOURCE: source/Discord_vs/

XCODE SOURCE: source/Discord_xcode/

After compilation the exported dll/dylib/so file is automatically copied into the extension folder inside the included GameMaker project folder.

Requirements

In order to compile for Windows/macOS/Linux you are required to download the Discord SDK v3.2.1 and place it inside source/Discord_sdk/

Documentation

We provide both a PDF version of the documentation included with the extension and inside the demo project (datafiles) and a fully converted version to the Github Wiki format (the latter will be the most up-to-date version, the other will follow shortly after). If there are any PR requests with new feature implementation please make sure you also provide the documentation for the implemented features.

gmext-discord's Issues

Still no way to set secret,and party, Gamemaker Project Demo doesnt work(invite and party), no documentation or code example showing setting secret and party

Still no way to set secret,and party, Gamemaker Project Demo doesnt work(invite and party), no documentation or code example showing setting secret and party, Async event: Discord_Relationships_OnCurrentUserUpdate doesnt seam to trigger, No clear instructions on how to set Party and Secret.
party:
{
partyId: "foo partyID",
size: {
currentsize: 1,
maxsize: 4,
},
},
secrets:
{
Match: "foo matchSecret",
Join: "foo joinSecret",
Spectate: "foo spectateSecret",
},

doesnt work. Errors produced are weird.

Only fetching user by ID and Image by UserID, And current User Works.

(Issue) Be aware if game doesnt start or gives non-zero exit.

if DISCORD runs in ADMIN mode ( lets say you just installed it or otherwise), and you launch a game with this extension and the .exe is not also ran with ADMIN perms, This will cause a "crash non-zero" and might cause the discord application to come in focus. This can be very confusing or annoying to the users which are unaware of this.

Any plans to make not necessary to use Discord for running the game?

Most games don't require Discord to be open to play, even when using Discord functionality somehow.
I think they just detect if Discord is open when the game initializes, and if it doesn't, it just disables all Discord functionality and the game should run fine.

Are there any plans to make this possible in the future using this extension?

[Issue] Discord_Activities_UpdateActivity :: member 'match' must be of type string

Discord_Activities_UpdateActivity :: member 'match' must be of type string error is triggered, when the member match of struct secrets is clearly string inside gamemaker. Same applies for other structs such as party, PartySize etc

Added control over all available parameters when calling Discord_Activities_UpdateActivity (see docs).
(Possibly the implementation wasn't tested?)

[FEATURE REQUEST] No way to set the Secret & Party properties through dll call.

No way to set the Secret & Party properties through dll call. So the Discord_Overlay_OpenActivityInvite wont work.
