The connection used to happen during enter_tree, but this was causing
issues when setting the spawnable scenes from code.
The spawner now connects/disconnects to the signal during
add_spawnable_scene/clear_spawnable_scenes if the node is inside tree
and has a valid spawn_path.
We want our spawns to be notified after ready, but we need to notify
them in the order they entered tree, so that nested spawners can be used
during "ready" (instead of having to await a frame).
* This solution is much cleaner than the one in 3.x thanks to the use of callables.
* Works without issues in any language (no need to worry about camel or snake case).
* Editor code uses a compatibility function (too much work to redo).
Fixes#59899
Renamed to "spawn_function".
Allow both custom spawn and auto spawn list to co-exist.
This makes it possible to implement custom spawn without being forced to
attach a script to MultiplayerSpawner directly.
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".
Adds a OfflineMultiplayerPeer class which behaves like a server with no
connected peers.
Use OfflineMultiplayerPeer as default for SceneMultiplayer.
This means that the SceneTree will act as the multiplayer authority by
default.
Calls to is_server will return true, and calls to get_unique_id will
return TARGET_PEER_SERVER.
Implemented using MultiplayerSynchronizers.
If you didn't use the synchronizer visibility features, nothing changes.
If you were using visibility, RPCs to broadcast should now behave as
expected in most configurations (i.e. by sending the RPC to _visible_
peers).
If you want to limit the visibility of RPCs for a node, add a
synchronizer for it, and configure the visibility via
"set_visibility_for" or by adding a visibility filter.
Fix RPC profiler and add average RPC size.
Improve bandwidth debugger to account for all multiplayer traffic
(excluding the lower level peer transformations).
- Removed empty paragraphs in XML.
- Consistently use bold style for "Example:", on a new line.
- Fix usage of `[code]` when hyperlinks could be used (`[member]`, `[constant]`).
- Fix invalid usage of backticks for inline code in BBCode.
- Fix some American/British English spelling inconsistencies.
- Other minor fixes spotted along the way, including typo fixes with codespell.
- Don't specify `@GlobalScope` for `enum` and `constant`.
Add few methods to allow peers to exchange authentication information.
- `set_auth_callback(callback)`: Enable the authentication features.
The callback is a `Callable` that accepts an `int` (the peer ID), and
a `PackedByteArray` of data.
- The `peer_authenticating(id)` signal will be emitted instead of
`peer_connected` when a new peer connects.
- Use `send_auth(id: int, data: PackedByteArray)` to exchange data.
- Call `complete_auth(id: int)` when the authentication process is
complete and you expect to start receiving game data.
- The `peer_connected` signal will be emitted as soon as both parties
complete the authentication.
- Use `disconnect_peer(id)` to disconnect a connected peer.
- If the `peer_connected` signal didn't fire for that peer (i.e. it was
still in the authentication phase), the `peer_auth_failed` signal will
be emitted instead of `peer_disconnected`.
MultiplayerPeer changes:
- Adds is_server_relay_supported virtual method
Informs the upper MultiplayerAPI layer if it can signal peers connected
to the server to other clients, and perform packet relaying among them.
- Adds get_packet_channel and get_packet_mode virtual methods
Allows the MultiplayerAPI to retrieve the channel and transfer modes to
use when relaying the last received packet.
SceneMultiplayerPeer changes:
- Implement peer signaling and packet relaying when the MultiplayerPeer
advertise they are supported.
ENet, WebRTC, WebSocket changes:
- Removed custom code for relaying from WebSocket and ENet, and let it
be handled by the upper layer.
- Update WebRTC to split create_client, create_server, and create_mesh,
with the latter behaving like the old initialize with
"server_compatibility = false", and the first two supporting the upper
layer relaying protocol.
The same node can now be controlled by multiple synchronizers at once.
Spawn visibility is composed in OR across multiple synchronizers (i.e.
if any synchronizer is visible to the peer, the object will be spawned).
Synchronizers controlling spawned nodes can now have a different
authority then the one spawning the node, in that case, the spawn
variables for that specific synchronizer are simply ignored (other
synchronizers with the same authority of the spawner will correctly
synchronize variables on spawn).
The SceneReplicationState class has been completly removed, since it was
bloating the implementation, the state is now simply stored in the
SceneReplicationInterface.
Implements https://github.com/godotengine/godot-proposals/issues/3371.
New `target` presets
====================
The `tools` option is removed and `target` changes to use three new presets,
which match the builds users are familiar with. These targets control the
default optimization level and enable editor-specific and debugging code:
- `editor`: Replaces `tools=yes target=release_debug`.
* Defines: `TOOLS_ENABLED`, `DEBUG_ENABLED`, `-O2`/`/O2`
- `template_debug`: Replaces `tools=no target=release_debug`.
* Defines: `DEBUG_ENABLED`, `-O2`/`/O2`
- `template_release`: Replaces `tools=no target=release`.
* Defines: `-O3`/`/O2`
New `dev_build` option
======================
The previous `target=debug` is now replaced by a separate `dev_build=yes`
option, which can be used in combination with either of the three targets,
and changes the following:
- `dev_build`: Defines `DEV_ENABLED`, disables optimization (`-O0`/`/0d`),
enables generating debug symbols, does not define `NDEBUG` so `assert()`
works in thirdparty libraries, adds a `.dev` suffix to the binary name.
Note: Unlike previously, `dev_build` defaults to off so that users who
compile Godot from source get an optimized and small build by default.
Engine contributors should now set `dev_build=yes` in their build scripts or
IDE configuration manually.
Changed binary names
====================
The name of generated binaries and object files are changed too, to follow
this format:
`godot.<platform>.<target>[.dev][.double].<arch>[.<extra_suffix>][.<ext>]`
For example:
- `godot.linuxbsd.editor.dev.arm64`
- `godot.windows.template_release.double.x86_64.mono.exe`
Be sure to update your links/scripts/IDE config accordingly.
More flexible `optimize` and `debug_symbols` options
====================================================
The optimization level and whether to generate debug symbols can be further
specified with the `optimize` and `debug_symbols` options. So the default
values listed above for the various `target` and `dev_build` combinations
are indicative and can be replaced when compiling, e.g.:
`scons p=linuxbsd target=template_debug dev_build=yes optimize=debug`
will make a "debug" export template with dev-only code enabled, `-Og`
optimization level for GCC/Clang, and debug symbols. Perfect for debugging
complex crashes at runtime in an exported project.
MultiplayerSpawner:
- When spawn_path is invalid.
- When the auto spawn list is empty and _spawn_custom is not overridden.
Note: We remove the warning for placeholder scripts since there's no
way of knowing if they have a certain method.
MultiplayerSynchronizer:
- When root_path is invalid.
