βοΈSetup of a Discord App + Setup of the Discord SDK (In order to use Core, Activity, User, Overlay)
Go to the Discord Developer portal and click on βApplicationsβ or follow this link: https://discord.com/developers/applications/
After you logged in with your Discord account you are able to create a new application. For that click on βNew Applicationβ


In your application under the βGeneral Informationβ tab you can fill out information like the name and the app icon. This will later show when you use Rich Presence / Activity functionality

Also under the βGeneral Informationβ tab you can copy your application id. This is needed as a input for the Initialize Discord node. Do not share this code with others.

Go to the βOAuth2β tab and click on βAdd Redirectβ. Then copy the following URL into the text box that appeared. Make sure to click on βSave Changesβ afterwards.
http://127.0.0.1


Adding the Discord SDK files
To comply with DiscordSDKβs terms of service I cannot include the files for it.
Instantly download the file you need here: Download
After you got the needed .dll file:
Copy the file to the Win64 binaries folder which is located under βPATH_TO_YOUR_PROJECT/Binaries/Win64/β.
You also need to add it every time you package your project under βPATH_TO_YOUR_PROJECT/YOU_PROJECT_NAME/Binaries/Win64/β
Thatβs it. You are all set to use the Discord SDK functions.
Make sure to call the Initialize Discord node at the beginning of your game. Then you can use all the other functions out of the Core, Activity, User & Overlay categories.
