How do I upgrade my GameDev Assistant version?
As we're actively developing GameDev Assistant, we'll occasionally release new client versions of the plugin with new features (or simply the ability to work with newer versions of Godot). In this article, we'll go over the steps required to update your client version.
Note that this article focuses specifically on upgrading your client version. To install the plugin for the first time, please see this article instead: How do I install GameDev Assistant?
1. In your Godot project, delete the gamedev_assistant folder for the old version.
2. Restart Godot to refresh the editor.
3. Head to https://app.gamedevassistant.com/ and access your account.
4. Once logged in to your dashboard, scroll down to the Download Plugin window and hit the Download button.
5. After hitting the download button, this will download a zip file. Unzip the file with your preferred tool.
6. Drag the new gamedev_assistant folder from the unzipped file into the addons folder.
IMPORTANT NOTE: In order for the plugin to work, the hierarchy must be as follows:
📁 res://
└─ 📁 addons
└─ 📁 gamedev_assistant
└─ plugin.gd (and other files)
7. Head to the Project Settings -> Plugins tab and check the On button to enable the GameDev Assistant plugin.
8. While optional, we recommend restarting Godot again or reloading the project to clear up any issues that might occur from the plugin being enabled.
After this, you should be ready to go as your system should have saved your token and other settings automatically!
