Arma 3 Discord Feed (Abandoned)

Installation

[Windows] To install the required dependencies, move all of the files in Dependencies/windows-x64 to the root of your Arma 3 server folder. [Linux] No installation necessary - all dependencies are amalgamated into the extension.

Setup

• Run your Arma 3 server at least once to generate the necessary files then immediately shutdown the server. This is a crucial step to ensure that the extension is bootstrapped correctly.
• Now, you should see a new folder called "arma3-discord-feed" in the root of your Arma 3 server folder. This is the extension's folder.
• You should see a file inside the "arma3-discord-feed" folder called config.json. Open this file and fill in the required fields.
• Start your Arma 3 server and the extension should be running. You can verify this by checking the log files in the extension's folder.
• If you encounter any issues, please refer to the documentation or reach out to me on Discord: https://isrc.wtf/discord
• Enjoy!

Build Extension From Source With CMake

The extension is entirely cross-platform (64-bit only) and thoroughly tested on Windows 10 (22H2) as well as Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS. All dependencies are fetched & built via the CMake workflow, requiring little-to-no setup upon building.

Simply open the extension directory in your favorite IDE with CMake support and build from there OR run the following against the directory via CLI:

mkdir build
cd build/
cmake ..
cmake --build . --config Release

NOTE: You'll need to make a couple of quick changes to CMakeLists.txt in order to automatically install required dependencies to your local Arma 3 directory as well as build the mod. The only thing you will need to do manually after this is building the PBO, which can be done with Addon Builder or Mikero Tools. I plan to add some sort of automation for this process in the future.

Requirements:

• CMake (>= 3.8)
• A Python3 installation - the post-build script will attempt move the extension and it's dependencies into the mod directory upon completing a successful build.

API

Functions

grom_adkf_api_fnc_simpleFeedEmbed

Example usage: ["I am a title", "I am a message"] call grom_adkf_api_fnc_simpleFeedEmbed;

Flags

GROM_ADKF_FEED_DISABLED

Disables the feed. Useful for building your own feed on top of A3DF.

TODO

• Get all EH's working lol
• Add feature-flags to config to allow users to decide what EH's they want in their feed
• Add custom messages with magic variables to config

Future Plans

• Custom, user-friendly EH API
• Admin-only log as well, apart from the default public feed
• More complex embeds with fields
• Send player list to webhook when a player joins/leaves
