1) press the heart while the game is running
2) select a scene to live edit from the opened scenes
3) edit/add/remove nodes or resources, change their properties, etc.
4) watch changes reflected in running game, in all places this scene is
edited
5) It's not perfect obviously, but the aim of it is to try to reflect
your changes as best as possible in the running game.
A general speedup should be apparent, with even more peformance increase when compiling optimized.
WARNING: Tested and it seems to work, but if something breaks, please report.
-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
-KinematicBody2D::move now properly recognizes collision exceptions and masks, fixes#1649
-Removed object type masking for KinematicBody2D
-Added a test_motion() function to RigidBody2D, allowing simlar behavior to KinematicBody2D::move there.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
-Changed material unshaded property for an enum, which supports light-only shading
-Added a "Mix" shading mode, useful for using lights as masks
-Added energy parameter to Light2D
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.
-Added Navigation & NavigationPolygon nodes
-Added corresponding visual editor
-New pathfinding algorithm is modern and fast!
-Similar API to 3D Pathfinding (more coherent)
Updated 2D Platformer demo to use kinematic TileMaps for moving platforms, in doing so discovered that the tileset was messed up and not converting properly, so fixed that too.
And in order to fix the tileset I need to activate snapping for collision polygon vertices.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-Moved drawing code to a single function that takes linked list (should make it easier to optimize in the future).
-Implemented Z ordering of 2D nodes. Node2D and those that inherit have a visibility/Z property that affects drawing order (besides the tree order)
-Removed OpenGL ES 1.x support. Good riddance!
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
-Removed "density" property
-Added instead more flexible "angular damp" and "linear damp"
-Added ability to override angular and linear damp in rigidbody
-Added gravity scale option rigidbody
Test well and iron out bugs, when it works the same will be moved to 3D
-=-=-=-=-
Curse the day I decided to port UDP code, as it ended up
being two nights of work. At least It's done now (I hope).
-Fixed UDP Support, API seems stable
-Added UDP Chat demo (chat that can lose your packets, heh)
-Added helpers to areas and bodies to get list of collided bodies and contained bodies.
-Sped up screen/viewport capture code.
-Added code to save an image as PNG
-Small fix so scripts register their singletons after modules did.
-=-=-=-=-
-Fixed problem with scaling shapes (#827), related to not taking scale in consideration for calculating the moment of inertia
-Added support for multiline strings (or comments) using """
-Save subscene bug, properties not being saved in root node (#806)
-Fix Crash in CollisionPolygon2DEditor (#814)
-Restored Ability to compile without 3D (#795)
-Fix InterpolatedCamera (#803)
-Fix UV Import for OBJ Meshes (#771)
-Fixed issue with modifier gizmos (#794)
-Fixed CapsuleShape gizmo handle (#50)
-Fixed Import Button (not properly working in 3D) (#733)
-Many misc fixes (though no new features)
-=-=-=-
-Fixed some DAE import & export bugs
-Changed Collada exporter to use the mesh loops API
-Added tangent export to Collada exporter
-Added triangulation option to Collada exporter
-Changed a little how normalmaps are handled in shader. Not sure if it's working properly, be careful.
-Fixed some strange bug with kinematic bodies #776
-Fix release compilaiton issues #782
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-Fixes to Collada Exporter (avoid crash situtions)
-Fixed to Collada Importer (Fixed Animation Optimizer Bugs)
-Fixes to RigidBody/RigidBody2D body_enter/body_exit, was buggy
-Fixed ability for RigidBody/RigidBody2D to get contacts reported and bodyin/out in Kinematic mode.
-Added proper trigger support for 3D Physics shapes
-Changed proper value for Z-Offset in OmniLight
-Fixed spot attenuation bug in SpotLight
-Fixed some 3D and 2D spatial soudn bugs related to distance attenuation.
-Fixed bugs in EventPlayer (channels were muted by default)
-Fix in ButtonGroup (get nodes in group are now returned in order)
-Fixed Linear->SRGB Conversion, previous algo sucked, new algo works OK
-Changed SRGB->Linear conversion to use hardware if supported, improves texture quality a lot
-Fixed options for Y-Fov and X-Fov in camera, should be more intuitive.
-Fixed bugs related to viewports and transparency
Huge Amount of New Stuff:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-
-Ability to manually advance an AnimationPlayer that is inactive (with advance() function)
-More work in WinRT platform
-Added XY normalmap support, imports on this format by default. Reduces normlmap size and enables much nice compression using LATC
-Added Anisotropic filter support to textures, can be specified on import
-Added support for Non-Square, Isometric and Hexagonal tilemaps in TileMap.
-Added Isometric Dungeon demo.
-Added simple hexagonal map demo.
-Added Truck-Town demo. Shows how most types of joints and vehicles are used. Please somebody make a nicer town, this one is too hardcore.
-Added an Object-Picking API to both RigidBody and Area! (and relevant demo)
-WorldEnvironment cleanup issues fixed (#563)
-Text Editor improvement to shift-mouse selection (#648)
-(Hopefully) fixed rare (but horrible) indexing bug in GDScript compiler (#652)
-Some changes to PhysicsBody API, renamed property "active" to "sleeping", which makes more sense
-Added add_collision_exception() API in PhysicsBody (more accessible)
-ability to select and copy in the output messages panel
