This is accomplished through the addition of a GLAD GLX loader in the
`thirdparty` directory.
This is another step towards a nice Wayland/X11 interoperation.
GLAD 1 creates unusable loaders for EGL, while the newly released GLAD 2
does not, so for consistency I thought that it would be a good idea to
uniform things beforehand. While it had some API changes some renames
were all that was needed and everything works like before, at least on
the Wayland branch.
I've kept the structure identical, although this new generator has quite
a few hefty features, such as a single header mode.
I've also added GLAD to `thirdparty/README.md`, but I haven't specified
that in the commit title because it's a very small "fix".
Updates to volk, vulkan headers, `vk_enum_string_helper.h`, glslang,
spirv-reflect.
No update to VMA which still has 3.0.1 as it's last tagged release.
We were compiling `src/loaders/external_png` but using the header from
`src/loaders/png`, leading to `-Wodr` warnings.
Remove unused bundled lodepng code since we use `external_png` (libpng).
Whitespace changes are from upstream, will attempt PR'ing a cleanup there for
future updates.
* 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).
