I think I'll give it a try. I'll have to further read into the documentation though, since there is no Discord library for C++, so I need to do everything manually by the book (or rather documentation).
If I understood correctly, that plugin should mainly provide a callback which is always called when someone writes a message in one of the server's channels, right?
Oh, and if anyone has some experience with adding/configuring bots to their servers, I'd appreciate it if he/she would explain that process to me.

That bot is simply a responding bot to triggers... It's not actually using a plugin setup to do anything more than triggered responses.
Hell, on the discord site it has an actual API usage and showing how to make an actual bot that's useful.

Would be nice If someone dev it since I'm using mIRC for my zombie server and we have a Discord channel too.

You can already link IRC to discord if you'd read some more of the thread.

What discord features, is a lot. You can almost do away with a forum, and simply use a discord server.
Various channels can have the rules, accepted mods, downloads and other information in it ready for people to bring up via a link. You could even use the weburl of SA-MP server to make the discord known about.
You don't necessarily need to be connected all the time, but it is a lot less heavy than TeamSpeak, and it has a lot more to offer than simply text/voice comms.

This is how I started with ScriptPlayer.. a thread that goes on for 3 years of people saying 'This would be a good idea... *stares at sunset*'.
Can't do it this time, but this is a good idea... *stares into sunset*
My suggestion, get a socket plugin that allows your SAMP server to be a 'client' to something like a nodejs tcp server, and the nodejs server can connect with WebSockets to Discord. Node.JS would basically be your relay.
Thats a quick and dirty method. Or you could fiddle with C++ and WebSockets.. no thanks!

Hehe.
So, a small status update: My plugin can successfully send/retrieve HTTPS requests/responses. Also connecting to the Discord gateway through a TLS secured WebSocket works. I'll only have to implement the heartbeat and reconnect functionality. After that adding all callbacks and functions should be pretty straightforward.

Okay, so basically I'm ready to add actual PAWN natives and callbacks.
Let's collect a list of all functions and callbacks you need/want.
Regarding the chat callback, which information should be passed to it (apart of the message itself, author id and channel id)?

Question, how will markdown and file transfers be handled? Personally I'm fine with code and stuff being cut and replaced with something like "(code here)", but that should be optional and controllable by the script. Bold and italics should also be detectable and controllable by the script (we could represent then with different color times and such), but by default just replace with regular text.

Please no overkill/unnecessary feature requests.

Isn't the markdown formatting handled by Discord itself? So you basically always receive/send markdown formatted chat messages. I'm also unsure if the plugin should handle Markdown syntax removal. I'd leave that to the PAWN-scripter.
I can add functionality to upload files, however I don't see much use for this. If someone uploads a file, the plugin receives a file object with the file's name, size and source URL. I can add a callback which gets called on every file upload and pass it that information, however yet again I don't see how this could be relevant on SA-MP server-side.
Good Luck for the person going to develop this plugin for SA:MP.
