-An action being requested to the user in present tense: (ie, draw, gui_input, etc)
-A notification that an action happened, in past tense (ie, area_entered, modal_closed, etc).
- C++ Nodes mostly do an internal process callback, so it does not conflict with users willing to use their own process callbacks
- callbacks such as _input, _process, _fixed_process _unhandled_input, _unhandled_key_input do not requiere calling a function to enable them. They are enabled automatically if found on the script.
That year should bring the long-awaited OpenGL ES 3.0 compatible renderer
with state-of-the-art rendering techniques tuned to work as low as middle
end handheld devices - without compromising with the possibilities given
for higher end desktop games of course. Great times ahead for the Godot
community and the gamers that will play our games!
-Most 2D drawing is implemented
-Missing shaders
-Missing all 3D
-Editor needs to be set on update always to be used, otherwise it does not refresh
-Large parts of editor not working
-Added anti-aliasing on lines
-Improved draw performance enormously
-Removed sequence ports for most nodes, current visual scripts will likely be broken now. Sorry!
- Useful if you need to Convert screen coords to the coordinate space of a
CanvasItem, but don't have an associated InputEvent to use in
#make_event_local.
For example, if you have a particular point on the screen you'd like to project
into World Space, for various reasons, you would use this function on the root
of the scene. This is analogous to ray casting from screen space in 3D.
Replaces the iterative approach currently used by an equivalent direct computation.
Also fixes infinite looping that happens when the mirroring value is negative.
Replaces the iterative approach currently used by the standard fmod() function.
Also fixes infinite looping that happens when the mirroring value is negative.
Done to ensure that no important identifiers are translatable,
to fix compound strings using the new vformat() function, and
some general English proofreading here and there.
-New SpriteFrames editor, with support for drag&drop, multiple animation
sets, animation speed and loop.
-New AnimatedSprite, with support for all the new features!
AnimatedSprite3D has not been updated yet.
-Added support for drag&drop to other editors, such as resourcepreload,
sample library, etc.
Made public the various set/getters for rotations in degrees.
For consistency, renamed the exposed method names to remove the leading
underscore, and kept the old names with a deprecation warning.
Fixes#4511.
You can't set this value very well, since it's automatically computed
from the mass and the collision shapes. But since the values are higher
than many people might suspect, so being able to read it helps estimate
the amount of torque you might need to apply.
-Scene edit state is saved outside the scene now, to avoid changes .tscn files when nothing really changed
-Created a VariantWriter helper to unify all variant to text writing
-Moved SceneFormatText writing to VariantWriter
-Moved ConfigFile to use VariantWriter and VariantParser, added compatibility mode for old .cfg files that use engine.cfg format
All classes were reviewed apart from VisualServer for which no argument name is documented at all.
While doing this review, I found quite a few bugs that were fixed either in earlier commits or this one (mostly documentation bugs though, i.e. some arguments were listed at the wrong place).
-Visible 2D and 3D Shapes, Polygons, Tile collisions, etc.
-Visible Navmesh and Navpoly
-Visible collision contacts for 2D and 3D as a red point
-Customizable colors in project settings
Works for 2D and 3D
These are still just helpers in case you want to animate them or access them
directly.
Modifying the real shapes is still done via CollisionObject and CollisionObject2D APIs
But an API was added so you can query which shapes from CollisionObject correspond to which CollisionShape.
Have Fun!
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
-=-=-=-=-

Huge Amount of New Stuff:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-

-Added support for Non-Square, Isometric and Hexagonal tilemaps in TileMap.
-Added Isometric Dungeon demo.
-Added simple hexagonal map demo.

- #686 (unicode escape sequences work now)
- #702 (was not a bug, but a test was added to see if bodies went too far away)
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Another gift for those who make 2D games:
-Edit polygons, concave or convex, color them, texture them and uv-map them
-Corresponding editor
-Can have a custom pivot, so they are compatible with bones and IK
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=
-Ability to set 2D nodes as bones
-Abity to set 2D nodes as IK chains
-2D IK Solver
-Improvements in the UI for adding keyframes (separate loc,rot,scale buttons)
-=-=-=-=-

-TileMap can specify bounce and friction for collision.
-Removed limit of 4 lights per object

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
-Auto indenter in code editor, this makes it much easier to paste external code.

-Premultiplied alpha support when importing texture, editing PNGs and as a blend mode.
-IMA-ADPCM support for samples, this means that sound effects can be compressed and use 4 timess less RAM.
-New 3D import workflow based on Wavefront OBJ. Import single objects as mesh resources instead of full scenes. Many people prefers to work this way. Just like the rest of the imported resources, these are updated in realtime if modified externally.
-Mesh resources now support naming surfaces. This helps reimporting to identify which user-created materials must be kept.
-Several fixes and improvements to SurfaceTool.
-Anti Aliasing added to WorldEnvironment effects (using FXAA)
-2D Physics bodies (RigidBody, KinematicBody, etc), Raycasts, Tilemap, etc support collision layers. This makes easy to group which objects collide against which.

-added exclude objects from raycast
-fixed crashes
-Detect when free() might crash the project and throw error
-fixed 2D Bounce in physics (3d still broken)
