GMod Discord Relay

A Garry's Mod Discord relay that runs entirely on the server, no thirdparty or external shenanigans.

(Except for the required binaries because this game's networking is severely handicapped)

Warning

There's been a major overhaul of the relay's internals. You will almost definitely have to reconfigure and/or recode anything to do with it.

Features!!!1

• Relays Discord messages to in-game (duh)
• Relays in-game messages to Discord (duh)
• Can read and write to multiple channels/guilds at once
• Simple configuration
• Runs entirely on the server, no external backends or processes
• A-OK caching to make it fast like a racecar
• Command system to interact with the server from Discord
• Hookable messages for developers to integrate into it

Installation

1. Clone the repository to your addons folder

   Help I'm retarded

   cd garrysmod/addons
   git clone https://github.com/bjurd/gmod-discord-relay discordrelay

2. Install GWSockets and CHTTP into your garrysmod/lua/bin folder

3. Configure addons/discordrelay/data_static/relay/config.txt

4. Horray!

Updating

If you have gm_shell installed, you can use the rupdate command in Discord to have the relay update itself.

1. cd to wherever you cloned the repo

2. stash, pull, pop

   Details

   git stash push
   git pull
   git stash pop

Caution

If you don't stash before pulling, it's likely git will overwrite your config and other changes you've made with the default, blank config. Make sure to stash if you want to keep your changes and to pop the stash after pull completes.

Note

It's very likely a server restart will be needed after fetching updates, because the Discord library internals won't autorefresh.
