DiscordBridge Plugin Setup Guide 

Overview 

Welcome to the DiscordBridge plugin for Unreal Engine! This guide will help you set up your Discord Developer account, create a new application, and integrate it with Unreal Engine using our plugin. 

Create a Discord Developer Account 

Sign Up or Log In to Discord Developer Portal

   - Visit the Discord Developer Portal.

   - Log in with your existing Discord account or create one if you haven’t already.

Create a New Discord Application 

1. Create an Application

   - Once logged in, click on "New Application".

   - Give your application a name and click "Create".

2. Generate a Client ID

   - After creating your application, you will be taken to the application’s settings page.

   - Locate the "Client ID" on the main page — you will need this ID later. 

Configure Your Application 

 Add Rich Presence Information (Optional)

   - Navigate to the Rich Presence section to configure images and presence information.

   - Add assets like images (small and large) that will show up in the Discord Rich Presence. 

Setting Up DiscordBridge in Unreal Engine 

1. Install the Plugin

   - Install the DiscordBridge plugin from the Unreal Engine Marketplace.

   - Scroll down to DiscordBridge Settings.

   - Enter the Client ID you obtained from the Discord Developer Portal.

3. Using the Plugin

   - The DiscordBridge plugin automatically handles the connection to Discord.

   - You can use the rich presence features directly from your project to display game state and activity.

Testing Your Setup 

1. Launch Your Project

   - Run your Unreal Engine project.

   - Ensure you have Discord open on your computer.

2. Verify Rich Presence

   - In Discord, navigate to your profile.

   - You should see your application’s Rich Presence with the configured details.

Troubleshooting 

- Rich Presence Not Showing: Make sure the Client ID is correctly entered in the plugin settings.

- Discord Not Connecting: Ensure Discord is running on the same machine and your application is set to public in the Discord Developer Portal.
