Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!
We're starting a new decade with a well-established, non-profit, free
and open source game engine, and tons of further improvements in the
pipeline from hundreds of contributors.
Godot will keep getting better, and we're looking forward to all the
games that the community will keep developing and releasing with it.
This allows more consistency in the manner we include core headers,
where previously there would be a mix of absolute, relative and
include path-dependent includes.
This adds a static is_viable() method to all rasterizers which has to be
called before initializing the rasterizer. This allows us to check what
rasterizer to use in OS::initialize together with the GL context
initialization.
This commit also adds a new project setting
"rendering/quality/driver/driver_fallback" which allows the creator of a
project to specify whether or not fallback to GLES2 is allowed. This
setting is ignored for the editor so the editor will always open even if
the project itself cannot run. This will hopefully reduce confusion for
users downloading projects from the internet.
We also no longer crash when GLES3 is not functioning on a platform.
This fixes#15324
The rasterisers (both GLES3 and GLES2) were calculating their own frame delta time
This fix lets the rasterizers get the frame delta through the draw call
That way any regulations to the frame step from the main script will not cause particle systems to process at a different step than the rest of the Engine.
Remove unused rasterizer storage variable
frame.prev_tick variable were not used anywhere and has been removed
This commit adds a new rendering backend, GLES2, and adds a
project setting to enable it.
Currently this backend can only be used on the X11 platform,
but integrating into other platforms is planned.
I can show you the code
Pretty, with proper whitespace
Tell me, coder, now when did
You last write readable code?
I can open your eyes
Make you see your bad indent
Force you to respect the style
The core devs agreed upon
A whole new world
A new fantastic code format
A de facto standard
With some sugar
Enforced with clang-format
A whole new world
A dazzling style we all dreamed of
And when we read it through
It's crystal clear
That now we're in a whole new world of code
That year should bring the long-awaited OpenGL ES 3.0 compatible renderer
with state-of-the-art rendering techniques tuned to work as low as middle
end handheld devices - without compromising with the possibilities given
for higher end desktop games of course. Great times ahead for the Godot
community and the gamers that will play our games!
-Most 2D drawing is implemented
-Missing shaders
-Missing all 3D
-Editor needs to be set on update always to be used, otherwise it does not refresh
-Large parts of editor not working
-Added anti-aliasing on lines
-Improved draw performance enormously
-Removed sequence ports for most nodes, current visual scripts will likely be broken now. Sorry!
-Rearrange favorites in fs dock with drag and drop
-Removed import -> sub-scene, moved to scenetree contextual menu
-Removed import -> re-import , moved and integrated to FS dock
-Added ability in FS dock to re-import more than one resource
simultaneously
-Added ability to drag from native filesystem explorer to Godot, only
works on Windows though
-Removed scene reimport merge options, never worked well. Eventually
merging materials should be re-added
-Added ability to set custom root node type when importing scenes
-Re-Import is now automatic, can be configured back to manual in editor
settings
-Added resource previews in property list for many resource types
-ItemList control for easier lists/thumbnails
-New file dialog, with support for thumbnails, favorites, recent places,
etc
-Moved .fscache out of the project, no more bugs due to committed/pulled
.fscache!
-Dir dialog now sorts directories
Added support for 2D shadow casters.
*DANGER* Shaders in CanvasItem CHANGED, if you are using shader in a
CanvasItem and pull this, you will lose them. Shaders now work through a
2D material system similar to 3D. If you don't want to lose the 2D
shader code, save the shader as a .shd, then create a material in
CanvasItem and re-assign the shader.
