After
installing GameDev Assistant, you may find that you're unable to enable it, have conversations with the AI, or even locate where the tool is in your editor. Below, you will find troubleshooting tips for the most common errors that will help you access the plugin. If none of these tips below help, please feel free to reach out to our team directly via our helpdesk.
Check your Godot version
GameDev Assistant works only in the stable releases of Godot 4.4 and up. Most issues are caused by trying to use the plugin in an earlier version of Godot. You can find which version of Godot you have open by checking the bottom right of the main editor viewport.
Restart Godot
Sometimes the editor simply glitches with the plugin after installation. If you haven't done so already, try restarting Godot.
Check your file hierarchy
Godot expects a very specific hierarchy in order for the plugin to work. Make sure that your FileSystem is as follows:
📁 res://
└─ 📁 addons
└─ 📁 gamedev_assistant
└─ plugin.gd (and other files)
The plugin is designed to open in the same dock as your Inspector. If your right sidebar is particularly thin, you may need to resize the dock in order to be able to see the tab for the Assistant.
