How does it work

This project uses GDExtension to wrap the Epic Online Services C SDK so that it can be easily used in Godot using GDScript, C#, etc with similar class hierarchy and static type support. It makes use of signals for sending events like user login, logout, achievement unlock, etc.

Installation

This is a regular plugin for Godot 4.2. To install the plugin follow the steps below:

1. Goto the Releases section and download the latest release
2. Extract the zip file and copy the addons/epic-online-services-godot folder into the res://addons/ folder of your project. If the res://addons does not exist, create it.
3. In the Godot editor, goto Project->Project Settings->Plugins and enable the Epic Online Services Godot 4.2 (EOSG) plugin.
4. Restart the godot editor.
5. You can now use the plugin. Head to the Documentation for more information on how to use the plugin. Use the below starter script.

   # In main script
   extends Node
   
   func _ready() -> void:
       # Initialize the SDK
       var init_opts = EOS.Platform.InitializeOptions.new()
       init_opts.product_name = "PRODUCT_NAME_HERE"
       init_opts.product_version = "PRODUCT_VERSION_HERE"
   
       var init_res := EOS.Platform.PlatformInterface.initialize(init_opts)
       if not EOS.is_success(init_res):
           print("Failed to initialize EOS SDK: ", EOS.result_str(init_res))
           return
   
       # Create platform
       var create_opts = EOS.Platform.CreateOptions.new()
       create_opts.product_id = "PRODUCT_ID_HERE"
       create_opts.sandbox_id = "SANDBOX_ID_HERE"
       create_opts.deployment_id = "DEPLOYMENT_ID_HERE"
       create_opts.client_id = "CLIENT_ID_HERE"
       create_opts.client_secret = "CLIENT_SECRET_HERE"
       create_opts.encryption_key = "ENCRYPTION_KEY_HERE"
   
       # Enable Social Overlay on Windows
       if OS.get_name() == "Windows":
           create_opts.flags = EOS.Platform.PlatformFlags.WindowsEnableOverlayOpengl
   
       var create_success := EOS.Platform.PlatformInterface.create(create_opts)
       if not create_success:
           print("Failed to create EOS Platform")
           return
   
       # Setup Logs from EOS
       IEOS.logging_interface_callback.connect(_on_logging_interface_callback)
       var res := EOS.Logging.set_log_level(EOS.Logging.LogCategory.AllCategories, EOS.Logging.LogLevel.Info)
       if res != EOS.Result.Success:
           print("Failed to set log level: ", EOS.result_str(res))
   
       _anonymous_login()
   
   
   func _on_logging_interface_callback(msg) -> void:
       msg = EOS.Logging.LogMessage.from(msg) as EOS.Logging.LogMessage
       print("SDK %s | %s" % [msg.category, msg.message])
   
   
   func _anonymous_login() -> void:
       # Login using Device ID (no user interaction/credentials required)
   	# Note: Device ID login method is for mobile devices
   	# Note: It may not work on some desktops
   	# Note: Rather for testing using the Dev Auth tool login method
       var opts = EOS.Connect.CreateDeviceIdOptions.new()
       opts.device_model = OS.get_name() + " " + OS.get_model_name()
       EOS.Connect.ConnectInterface.create_device_id(opts)
       await IEOS.connect_interface_create_device_id_callback
   
       var credentials = EOS.Connect.Credentials.new()
       credentials.token = null
       credentials.type = EOS.ExternalCredentialType.DeviceidAccessToken
   
   	var user_login_info = EOS.Connect.UserLoginInfo.new()
       user_login_info.display_name = "Anon User"
   
       var login_opts = EOS.Connect.LoginOptions.new()
       login_opts.credentials = credentials
       login_opts.user_login_info = user_login_info
       IEOS.connect_interface_login_callback.connect(_on_connect_interface_login_callback)
       EOS.Connect.ConnectInterface.login(login_opts)
   
   func _on_connect_interface_login_callback(data: Dictionary) -> void:
       if not data.success:
           print("Login failed")
           EOS.print_result(data)
           return
   
       print_rich("[b]Login successfull[/b]: local_user_id=", data.local_user_id)

Development Setup

Pre-requisites

• Godot Engine 4.2 (Get it here Godot Engine Download)
• Epic Online Services C SDK (Download from Epic Developer Portal)
• Make sure you have accepted the Terms and Conditions for Epic Online Services
• A product registered with Epic Games Services (Make one for free Epic Developer Portal)

To develop this plugin, follow the below steps:

1. Download/clone the repository.

2. Extract the EOS C SDK zip downloaded from Epic Games, rename it to eos-sdk and paste it in the thirdparty/ folder. Refer to the below folder structure.

   

3. Build the GDExtension plugin in debug mode (With debug symbols)

   # In root folder
   scons platform=<platform> target=template_debug dev_build=yes

   Eg. scons platform=windows target=template_debug dev_build=yes

4. Build the GDExtension plugin for release (Optimized)

   # In root folder
   scons platform=windows target=template_release

5. The built GDExtension library will be in the res://addons/epic-online-services-godot/bin/ folder of the sample project.

How to run the sample project?

The sample Godot project is located in the Sample folder

1. Clone/Download the repo.

2. Download the latest release from the Releases section and replace the existing /addons/epic-online-services-godot with the one from the Release (this includes the built shared libraries).

3. Copy your credentials (Product Id, Sandbox Id, Deployment Id, Client Id, Client Secret) of your Epic Games "Product" from the Epic Games Dev Portal and paste them in Main.gd script in the relevant sections. The encryption key is a random 64 character long string. These credentials need to be kept as private as possible. One way is to make sure to encrypt all scripts when exporting the final game. (See Compiling with script key encryption)

4. Configure your Product on the EOS Dev Portal with the following configuration:

• In the Client Policies section in Product Settings, for the Client policy type choose Custom policy, enable the User is required and enable every features and action except Connect (Trusted Server Required). This will allow the sample to access the different services provided by Epic Online Services. In your actual game, the client policy is important and you should give minimal permissions to features.
• In the Permissions section of Epic Account Services, enable all three: Basic Profile, Online Presence and Friends.
• (Optional if you want some pre-made achievements) In the Achievements section in Game Services, use the Bulk Import option and import the HelloProduct.zip file located at res://HelloProduct.zip

Bootstrapping Godot executable with Epic Online Services

If you want to use the Account Portal login option in Epic Online Services, you need to bootstrap the Godot/Game executable as needed by EOS-SDK 1.15 and greater. See Redistributable Installer

A sample of the generated .ini file for the Godot Editor is shown below (during game development):

ApplicationPath=Godot_v4.2.0-stable_win64.exe
WorkingDirectory=
WaitForExit=0
NoOperation=0

Follow the instructions in Running the service for local development and:

• During game development

  Bootstrap the Godot Editor executable (eg. Godot_v4.2.0-stable_win64.exe) to test the Account Portal login

• After exporting the game

  Bootstrap the exported game executable (eg. My Amazing Game.exe)

Exporting for Android

Pre-requisites

• EOS Android SDK (Download from Epic Developer Portal)

1. Extract the EOS Android SDK zip downloaded from Epic Games, rename it to eos-sdk and paste it in the thirdparty/ folder.

2. Setup the Android Build Template in your Godot project by following the tutorial Gradle builds for Andriod. This will create an android project in res://android/build.

3. Now with reference to the tutorial Add the EOS SDK to Your Android Studio Project, perform the following steps.

4. In the res://android/build/build.gradle file, add the following lines after the implementations in the dependencies section.

   Before

   dependencies {
   	implementation libraries.kotlinStdLib
   	implementation libraries.androidxFragment
   	... other code
   

   After

   dependencies {
   	implementation libraries.kotlinStdLib
   	implementation libraries.androidxFragment
   	
   	// EOS SDK dependencies
   	implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.5.1'
   	implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:2.1.4'
   	implementation 'androidx.security:security-crypto:1.0.0'
   	implementation 'androidx.browser:browser:1.4.0'
   	implementation files('../../../thirdparty/eos-sdk/SDK/Bin/Android/static-stdc++/aar/eossdk-StaticSTDC-release.aar')
   
   	...other code
   

5. In the res://android/build/build.gradle file, add the following lines after the defaultConfig in the android section.

   Before

   android {
   
   	... other code
   
   	defaultConfig {
   		... other code
   	
   		// Feel free to modify the application id to your own.
   		applicationId getExportPackageName()
   		versionCode getExportVersionCode()
   		versionName getExportVersionName()
   		minSdkVersion getExportMinSdkVersion()
   		targetSdkVersion getExportTargetSdkVersion()
   
   		missingDimensionStrategy 'products', 'template'
   	}
   
   	... other code
   

   After

   android {
   
   	... other code
   
   	defaultConfig {
   		... other code
   	
   		// Feel free to modify the application id to your own.
   		applicationId getExportPackageName()
   		versionCode getExportVersionCode()
   		versionName getExportVersionName()
   		minSdkVersion getExportMinSdkVersion()
   		targetSdkVersion getExportTargetSdkVersion()
   
   		missingDimensionStrategy 'products', 'template'
   
   		// This is needed by EOS Android SDK
   		String ClientId = "PUT YOUR EOS CLIENT ID HERE"
   		resValue("string", "eos_login_protocol_scheme", "eos." + ClientId.toLowerCase())
   	}
   
   	... other code
   

6. In the res://android/build/config.gradle file, update the minSdk to 23 to match with the requirements of the EOS Android SDK.

   Before

   minSdk             : 21,
   

   After

   minSdk             : 23,
   

7. In the res://android/build/src/com/godot/game/GodotGame.java file, update it as follows.

   package com.godot.game;
   
   import com.epicgames.mobile.eossdk.EOSSDK;     // added
   import org.godotengine.godot.GodotActivity;
   
   import android.os.Bundle;
   
   public class GodotApp extends GodotActivity {
   	static {                                   // added
   		System.loadLibrary("EOSSDK");          // added
   	}                                          // added
   	
   	@Override
   	public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
   		EOSSDK.init(getActivity());  // added
   		
   		setTheme(R.style.GodotAppMainTheme);
   		super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
   
   	}
   }

8. Now open your project in the Godot Editor, and goto Project -> Export and create a new Android export profile.

9. In the Gradle Build section, enable Use Gradle Build. In the Architectures section enable arm64-v8a. In the Permissions section ensure that ACESSS_NETWORK_STATE, ACCESS_WIFI_STATE and INTERNET are enabled. These permissions are needed for the EOS SDK to work.
