GodotAP is a Godot project designed to be re-used in other Godot projects for Archipelago Randomizer. It contains a basic implementation to handle the various network communications used by Archipelago, and a custom console that can be used for command input and to display messages from the server (in rich-text format, with tooltips)
Running the project itself will produce just the basic console, designed as an alternative to the Archipelago Text Client (and a base for custom clients to be built from).

The intended use is to include godotap/autoloads/archipelago.tscn
as an AutoLoad for your own Godot project (along with including the entire godotap
folder). This should enable you to connect to and interact with an Archipelago server via gdscript.
The CommonClient can be popped up as a separate window attached to your game, and can be extended with whatever new tabs and features you care to implement. Simply setting the Ap Auto Open Console
checkbox on the archipelago.tscn
root node will cause a default console window to open; or you can open a custom client by following steps similar to godotap/ui/commonclient_main.gd
.
By listening to the appropriate signals in the archipelago.gd
script and the conn: ConnectionInfo
member inside it (which resets each time you reconnect), you can handle incoming messages from the server; and various functions are available to call for outgoing messages to the server.
