Description
BGDatabase standalone runtime DLL, which can be used in standalone NET projects or inside game engines, which support managed NET DLL code execution, Net 6.0 support is required (see an example project for NET enabled Godot below). Some limitations apply (see the list below). The Editor part (BGDatabase window GUI inside Unity Editor) can not be run outside Unity Editor.
Setup
Place BGDatabaseStandalone.dll to your project and make sure it's referenced in your csproj file.
Godot example project
An example project for Net enabled Godot 4.1, targeting Windows (Android support for C# projects should be added to Godot 4.2) can be downloaded here This is an adaptation of our 2D example project for Unity. Database file is used without any change and one change is made to C# classes, generated by CodeGen addon- "UnityEngine." string is replaced with empty string (this change is required only if you use Unity structs or asset fields). To make Godot include database file in build, we had to explicitly add it under "Resources" tab
