* This PR adds the ability to disable classes when building.
* For now it's only possible to do this via command like:
`scons disable_classes=RayCast2D,Area3D`
* Eventually, a proper UI will be implemented to create a build config file to do this at large scale, as well as detect what is used in the project.
* Fixed and redone the process to obtain render information from a viewport
* Some stats, such as material changes are too difficult to guess on Vulkan, were removed.
* Separated visible and shadow stats, which causes confusion.
* Texture, buffer and general video memory can be queried now.
* Fixed the performance metrics too.
* Deprecates GDNative in favor of a simpler, lower level interface.
* New extension system allows registering core engine classes.
* Simple header interface in gdnative_interace.h
WARNING: Hacks everywhere!
The logic in `main.cpp` is due a full rewrite as it's extremely hacky,
splitting argument parsing over several functions, with a mess of global state
and assumptions about what combinations of arguments or lack thereof should
mean in terms of what we want to read: game, editor, project manager, or
command line tools such as `--doctool`, `--export` or `--script`.
Until this is fully rewritten, this patch hacks things some more to ensure
that we don't fall back to the project manager in cases where it's not
warranted, and especially not *too late*, as it can mean that we haven't
properly initialized stuff like `EditorPaths` needed by the PM (which in turn
impacts what kind of path will be used for logs and the shader cache, etc...
the rabbit hole goes deep).
Fixes#41435.
Fixes#49392.
Fixes#49658.
Fixes https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/38202#issuecomment-773158477.
- EditorSettings: Ensure that `create()` makes a valid singleton.
Fixes#49179, fixes#49450.
- EditorPaths: Cleanup code, properly set `paths_valid`.
- EditorPaths: Move more paths validation (check, mkdir) from
EditorSettings for a better separation of concerns.
- EditorPaths: Move EditorFileSystem creation of `.godot/imported`
next to other paths.
Physics FPS above 1000 cause the whole project to slow down
and are not very practical in the first place (since no CPU currently
available can keep up).
* Shader compilation is now cached. Subsequent loads take less than a millisecond.
* Improved game, editor and project manager startup time.
* Editor uses .godot/shader_cache to store shaders.
* Game uses user://shader_cache
* Project manager uses $config_dir/shader_cache
* Options to tweak shader caching in project settings.
* Editor path configuration moved from EditorSettings to new class, EditorPaths, so it can be available early on (before shaders are compiled).
* Reworked ShaderCompilerRD to ensure deterministic shader code creation (else shader may change and cache will be invalidated).
* Added shader compression with SMOLV: https://github.com/aras-p/smol-v
- Tweak the setting property hint to be more informative.
- Make the setting a "basic" setting so it appears when Advanced Settings
is disabled.
- Remove redundant orientation setting in the iOS export preset.
The project setting is now used (like on Android).
Projects upgrading from a previous version will have to set the
screen orientation again in the Project Settings if it wasn't set
to the default value ("landscape").
The "Anisotropic" term is abbreviated as spelling it out would cause
the PopupMenu to overflow the editor window when using the default
inspector width.
- Display the frame time in addition to FPS.
- Frame time is a more objective measurement in comparison to FPS,
but FPS is more familiar to people less acquainted with profiling.
- Rename "Game" to "Project" for the project FPS printing line.
This adds the ability to add overrides for built-in actions (i.e. ui_*) in the editor. Also added a number of additional built-in actions for various text-related actions, gui-generic actions (like copy and paste) and graph-related actions (duplicate nodes), etc. Moved the definition of input actions to input_map, rather than in project_settings so the editor can make use of these actions as well.
-Advanced Settings toggle also hides advanced properties when disabled
-Simplified Advanced Bar (errors were just plain redundant)
-Reorganized rendering quality settings.
-Reorganized miscelaneous settings for clean up.
In addition, add support for scaling and applying filter to the splash screen on Android.
One limitation of the api being used is that the splash screen aspect ratio is not maintained when it's scaled up.
-Rendering server now uses a split RID allocate/initialize internally, this allows generating RIDs immediately but initialization to happen later on the proper thread (as rendering APIs generally requiere to call on the right thread).
-RenderingServerWrapMT is no more, multithreading is done in RenderingServerDefault.
-Some functions like texture or mesh creation, when renderer supports it, can register and return immediately (so no waiting for server API to flush, and saving staging and command buffer memory).
-3D physics server changed to be made multithread friendly.
-Added PhysicsServer3DWrapMT to use 3D physics server from multiple threads.
-Disablet Bullet (too much effort to make multithread friendly, this needs to be fixed eventually).
This ensures that settings like `gui/theme/custom_font` handle resource
remappings properly, as they load resources in `register_scene_types()`.
Path remaps used to be done before loading scene types in early Godot
versions (as hinted by the "Load Remaps" comment just before "Load Scene
Types") but this was broken when developing new localization features.
Fixes#17640.
Which can be used by language bindings to generate code statically. This
is generated as a different file from the class API because it has
different requirements (the builtin types have constructors and don't
have signals), so bindings can better make use of each JSON file without
extra parsing.
This also cleans up a bit the old API generator, mainly initializing
structs and renaming "instanciable" to the more correct "instantiable".
The argument description in help text was updated to better reflect how
it should be used. The <path> argument is mandatory.
- Based on C++11's `thread` and `thread_local`
- No more need to allocate-deallocate or check for null
- No pointer anymore, just a member variable
- Platform-specific implementations no longer needed (except for the few cases of non-portable functions)
- Simpler for `NO_THREADS`
- Thread ids are now the same across platforms (main is 1; others follow)
-All shadow rendering is done with raster now (no compute)
-All shadow rendering is done by rendering directly to the shadow atlas
-Improved how buffer clearing is done to optimize the above.
-Ability to set shadows as 16 bits.
-SDFGI direct light is done over many frames
-SDFGI Changed settings for rays/frame
-SDFGI Misc optimizations
-SDFGI Bug fix on probe scroll
-GIProbe was not working, got it to work again
-GIProbe dynamic objects were not working, fixed
-Added a half size GI option.
- Based on C++14's `shared_time_mutex`
- No more need to allocate-deallocate or check for null
- No pointer anymore, just a member variable
- Platform-specific implementations no longer needed
- Simpler for `NO_THREADS`
Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!
2020 has been a tough year for most of us personally, but a good year for
Godot development nonetheless with a huge amount of work done towards Godot
4.0 and great improvements backported to the long-lived 3.2 branch.
We've had close to 400 contributors to engine code this year, authoring near
7,000 commit! (And that's only for the `master` branch and for the engine code,
there's a lot more when counting docs, demos and other first-party repos.)
Here's to a great year 2021 for all Godot users 🎆
