* Allows running the game in "movie writer" mode.
* It ensures entirely stable framerate, so your run can be saved stable and with proper sound (which is impossible if your CPU/GPU can't sustain doing this in real-time).
* If disabling vsync, it can save movies faster than the game is run, but if you want to control the interaction it can get difficult.
* Implements a simple, default MJPEG writer.
This new features has two main use cases, which have high demand:
* Saving game videos in high quality and ensuring the frame rate is *completely* stable, always.
* Using Godot as a tool to make movies and animations (which is ideal if you want interaction, or creating them procedurally. No other software is as good for this).
**Note**: This feature **IS NOT** for capturing real-time footage. Use something like OBS, SimpleScreenRecorder or FRAPS to achieve that, as they do a much better job at intercepting the compositor than Godot can probably do using Vulkan or OpenGL natively. If your game runs near real-time when capturing, you can still use this feature but it will play no sound (sound will be saved directly).
Usage:
$ godot --write-movie movie.avi [scene_file.tscn]
Missing:
* Options for configuring video writing via GLOBAL_DEF
* UI Menu for launching with this mode from the editor.
* Add to list of command line options.
* Add a feature tag to override configurations when movie writing (fantastic for saving videos with highest quality settings).
Clean up and do fixes to hash functions and newly introduced murmur3 hashes in #61934
* Clean up usage of murmur3
* Fixed usages of binary murmur3 on floats (this is invalid)
* Changed DJB2 to use xor (which seems to be better)
- Specular can now be set above 1.0.
- Blur can be set to 0 to disable shadow blurring entirely, which is useful
on lights that have a non-zero size.
- When shadow blurring is disabled, lights that have a non-zero size will
not use PCSS-like soft shadows, speeding up shadow rendering
considerably.
- Some property hints now allow more precise values.
Initial TAA support based on the implementation in Spartan Engine.
Motion vectors are correctly generated for camera and mesh movement, but there is no support for other things like particles or skeleton deformations.
* Replace case-by-case extraction with PNAME & GNAME
* Fix group handling when group hint begins with property name
* Exclude properties that are PROPERTY_USAGE_NO_EDITOR
* Extract missing ADD_ARRAY*, ADD_SUBGROUP* macros
* Map is unnecessary and inefficient in almost every case.
* Replaced by the new HashMap.
* Renamed Map to RBMap and Set to RBSet for cases that still make sense
(order matters) but use is discouraged.
There were very few cases where replacing by HashMap was undesired because
keeping the key order was intended.
I tried to keep those (as RBMap) as much as possible, but might have missed
some. Review appreciated!
Adds a new, cleaned up, HashMap implementation.
* Uses Robin Hood Hashing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_table#Robin_Hood_hashing).
* Keeps elements in a double linked list for simpler, ordered, iteration.
* Allows keeping iterators for later use in removal (Unlike Map<>, it does not do much
for performance vs keeping the key, but helps replace old code).
* Uses a more modern C++ iterator API, deprecates the old one.
* Supports custom allocator (in case there is a wish to use a paged one).
This class aims to unify all the associative template usage and replace it by this one:
* Map<> (whereas key order does not matter, which is 99% of cases)
* HashMap<>
* OrderedHashMap<>
* OAHashMap<>
fixed and simplified gl_manager_windows
swap buffers now called for all windows
fixed missing pixel format setting in additional windows
this makes them work in OpenGL contexts
changed verbose error printing to write once
this error message happens very frequently while opengl3 is not finished
removed dead code no longer needed after changes
fixed comments that were misinformation
window messages during window creation now handled
these were previously discarded
messages now tunnel the required context
changed failure to create opengl3 window on windows to be more fatal
marked a problem with pen code
conditional compilation of vulkan and opengl3 on windows fixed
windows debug builds now show messages on debug console also
rendering driver selection box now shows only compiled drivers
marked some problematic code
thanks to akien-mga for patiently rewriting my style mistakes
These typedefs don't save much typing compared to the full `Ref<Resource>`
and `Ref<RefCounted>`, yet they sometimes introduce confusion among
new contributors.
This method can be used to get the graphics API version currently in
use (such as Vulkan). It can be used by projects for troubleshooting
or statistical purposes.
`smoothstep()` avoids the sudden transparency jump when entering or
leaving a decal's distance fade margin distance. This in turn helps
make opacity transitions less noticeable to the player, as it's
less likely to catch the player's eye.
Didn't commit all the changes where it wants to initialize a struct
with `{}`. Should be reviewed in a separate PR.
Option `IgnoreArrays` enabled for now to be conservative, can be
disabled to see if it proposes more useful changes.
Also fixed manually a handful of other missing initializations / moved
some from constructors.
Add "generate_mipmap" font import option.
Add some missing features to the Sprite3D.
Move BiDi override code from Control to TextServer.
Add functions to access TextServer font cache textures.
Add MSDF related flags and shader to the standard material.
Change standard material cache to use HashMap instead of Vector.
The default shadow material was used for depth rendering disregarding the cull mode of the original material. This commit adds a check so the default shadow material is only used when the original material has back-face culling.
Fixes a regression introduced by the color pass flags rework. The various rasterizer state structs were not being reset for each flag combination, which meant some state changes were wrongly applied to some flag combinations.
The validation layers were complaining that we use DEFAULT_RD_TEXTURE_WHITE (which is RGBA8) in places where it's sampled as a depth texture. This commit adds the new default texture DEFAULT_RD_TEXTURE_DEPTH and uses it where needed.
This commit removes a lot of enum values related to the color render pass in favor of a new flag-bases approach. This means instead of hard-coding all the possible option combinations into enums, we can write our logic by checking a bit-mask.
The changes in rendering_device_vulkan.cpp add support for unused attachments. That means RenderingDeviceVulkan::framebuffer_create() can take null RIDs in the attachments vector, which will result in VK_ATTACHMENT_UNUSED entries in the render pass.
This is used in this same PR to establish fixed locations for the color pass attachments (only color and separate specular so far, but TAA will add motion vectors as well). This way the attachment locations in the shader can stay the same regardless of which attachments are actually used.
Right now all the combinations of flags are generated, but we will need to add a way to limit the amount of combinations in the future.
* Ability to create script languages from GDExtension
* Some additions to gdnative_extension.h to make this happen
* Moved the GDExtension binder to core
This now allows creating scripting languages from GDExtension, with the same ease as if it was a module. It replaces the old PluginScript from Godot 3.x.
Warning: GodotCPP will need to be updated to support this (it may be a bit of work as ScriptInstance needs to be created over there again).
3 options are available:
- Light and Sky (default)
- Light Only (new)
- Sky Only (equivalent to `use_in_sky_only = true`)
