As part of RPCs processing, they need to be sorted reliably across all
peers, so that unique IDs can be assigned to greatly optimize the
network layer.
The RPC configuration nodes are stored in dictionaries which, until
recently, always casted StringName keys to String.
Since method names (keys) in the RPC configuration were StringName,
a side effect of the above change is that sorting the dictionary keys no
longer sort them alphabetically by default (StringName are compared
using their pointers).
This commit changes the RPC processing logic to use sort_custom to
provide a function that can handle the StringName comparison.
As many open source projects have started doing it, we're removing the
current year from the copyright notice, so that we don't need to bump
it every year.
It seems like only the first year of publication is technically
relevant for copyright notices, and even that seems to be something
that many companies stopped listing altogether (in a version controlled
codebase, the commits are a much better source of date of publication
than a hardcoded copyright statement).
We also now list Godot Engine contributors first as we're collectively
the current maintainers of the project, and we clarify that the
"exclusive" copyright of the co-founders covers the timespan before
opensourcing (their further contributions are included as part of Godot
Engine contributors).
Also fixed "cf." Frenchism - it's meant as "refer to / see".
Fix RPC profiler and add average RPC size.
Improve bandwidth debugger to account for all multiplayer traffic
(excluding the lower level peer transformations).
- RPC configurations are now dictionaries.
- Script.get_rpc_methods renamed to Script.get_rpc_config.
- Node.rpc[_id] and Callable.rpc now return an Error.
- Refactor MultiplayerAPI to allow extension.
- New MultiplayerAPI.rpc method with Array argument (for scripts).
- Move the default MultiplayerAPI implementation to a module.
