This addon will send in-game chat to a discord channel. It will also take any messages (and commands) sent in that same discord channel and send it in-game.

As an example, imagine if someone talks to you on your linkshell 3. You can see the chat in Discord on your phone, and you can reply to them in the in-game linkshell with:

!l3 Hello.

The Discord Chat Plug-in window is under the FFXIVMinion menu.

Creating a Discord Server and Channel You will likely want a private server for this plug-in, for your own privacy.

- See How do I create a server? - Optionally, create a separate channel for your bot to use. - Get the channel ID of the channel you'd like to use. - In Discord, open your User Settings. Under Appearance, make sure Enable Developer Mode is checked on. - Right-click on the Discord text channel you would like to use, and press Copy ID. This will copy the channel ID to your clipboard. - Paste the ID into MMOMinion's Discord Chat plugin, under Bot Token/Channel, in Channel.

Create a bot starting here.

- Log in and click New Application. - Choose anything you want a name. Something like FF14 Chatbot is appropriate. - On the left side, under Settings, click on Bot. - Under Build-A-Bot, click on Add Bot. Hit Yes, do it! on the confirmation that pops up. - Optionally, configure your bot's username here. - Under Token, click Copy to copy the token to your clipboard. - Paste the bot token into the Discord Chat addon in MMOMinion, under Bot Token/Channel, in Token. - On the left side, go to OAuth2. Scroll down to Scopes and check bot. - Copy the URL under the checkboxes in Scopes and visit the URL in your clipboard. - Log-in to discord and authorize the bot to join your server. - Activate the bot token, in the next section.

Each bot token needs to be activated once it's created, before it can be used by the Discord Chat addon. This only needs to be done once.

Paste the token into the form below, then hit Activate.

Other plugins can send messages and listen for messages through a public API. With DiscordChat installed, you can call

discord_chat_api.Register(Plugin Name, Command Prefix, Command Callback)

and it will return you a function to send messages with.

Here's an example addon that sends and listens for commands.

-- Discord chat API example.
--
-- Look for a global discord_chat_api variable.
-- discord_chat_api.Register(Plugin Name, Command Prefix, Command Callback)
-- returns a function, SendMessage(message)
--
-- SendMessage will let you send a message through the bot
-- Command Callback is a single argument function that takes a message whenever
-- a discord message is sent with the prefix
--
-- Note that there is currently a ~5 second delay in receiving messages
-- and a ~2 second delay in sending
