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).
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".
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`.
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.
- 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.
