When using high physics FPS (which is a requirement to minimize input
lag and improve precision in simulation racing games), a higher value
prevents the game from slowing down at low rendering FPS.
This can be done via an Engine property for run-time changes,
or a project setting for initial changes.
This makes the setting easier to find, as research has found there are
numerous use cases to limiting FPS. This also improves documentation
related to the Engine property and project setting.
The project setting also works in projects exported in release mode,
so its location in the `debug/` section was misleading.
We're targeting .NET 5 for now to make development easier while
.NET 6 is not yet released.
TEMPORARY REGRESSIONS
---------------------
Assembly unloading is not implemented yet. As such, many Godot
resources are leaked at exit. This will be re-implemented later
together with assembly hot-reloading.
This adds support for benchmarking engine startup (and editor startup if used).
The goal is to use this in the benchmarking server to track improvements and changes to engine, editor, importer and scene loading startup times.
The new default window size is tuned to:
- Have a 16:9 aspect ratio,
- Have both dimensions divisible by 8 to better play along with
video recording,
- Be displayable correctly in windowed mode on a 1366×768 display
(tested on Windows 10 with default settings).
This breaks compatibility with projects that didn't change the
window size from the default value (or that kept one of the values
to its default).
Implements the standard Unix double dash (--) commandline argument:
* Arguments after a double dash (--) are ignored by Godot and stored for the user.
* User can access them via `OS.get_cmdline_user_args()`
Example:
`godot.exe scene_to_run.tscn --fullscreen -- --start-level 2`
- Adds more customization options to ProjectSettings.
- Displays navregion edge connections and navigation polygon edges in editor and at runtime.
- Majority of debug code moved from SceneTree to NavigationServer.
- Removes the irritating debug MeshInstance child node from NavigationRegion3D and replaces it with direct RenderingServer API.
This quits the project when an animation is done playing in the
given AnimationPlayer, but only in Movie Maker mode.
When this happens, a message is printed with the absolute path of the
AnimationPlayer node that caused the engine to quit.
This can be used to create videos that stop at a specified time
without having to write any script.
A report is now also printed to the console when the video is done
recording (as long as the engine was exited properly).
This report is unfortunately not always visible in the editor's
Output panel, as it's printed too late.
A method was also added to get the path to the output file from the
scripting API.
This PR implements a worked thread pool. It uses a fixed amount of threads in a pool and allows scheduling tasks
that can be run on threads (and then waited for). It satisfies the following use cases:
* HTML5 thread count is fixed (and similar restrictions are known in consoles) so we need to reuse threads.
* Thread spawning is slow in general, so reusing threads is faster anyway.
* This implementation supports recursive waiting for tasks, making it less prone to deadlocks if threads from the pool also run tasks.
After this is approved and merged, subsequent PRs will be needed to replace the ThreadWorkPool usage by this class.
Unless users requested the headless driver specifically, they expect to either
see a window, or that the process terminates if there's an error.
Currently it would fallback to headless so they'd unexpectedly get a valid headless
instance if their DisplayServer failed initializing (e.g. missing Vulkan support).
Fixes#58414.
* Allows running the game in "movie writer" mode.
* It ensures entirely stable framerate, so your run can be saved stable and with proper sound (which is impossible if your CPU/GPU can't sustain doing this in real-time).
* If disabling vsync, it can save movies faster than the game is run, but if you want to control the interaction it can get difficult.
* Implements a simple, default MJPEG writer.
This new features has two main use cases, which have high demand:
* Saving game videos in high quality and ensuring the frame rate is *completely* stable, always.
* Using Godot as a tool to make movies and animations (which is ideal if you want interaction, or creating them procedurally. No other software is as good for this).
**Note**: This feature **IS NOT** for capturing real-time footage. Use something like OBS, SimpleScreenRecorder or FRAPS to achieve that, as they do a much better job at intercepting the compositor than Godot can probably do using Vulkan or OpenGL natively. If your game runs near real-time when capturing, you can still use this feature but it will play no sound (sound will be saved directly).
Usage:
$ godot --write-movie movie.avi [scene_file.tscn]
Missing:
* Options for configuring video writing via GLOBAL_DEF
* UI Menu for launching with this mode from the editor.
* Add to list of command line options.
* Add a feature tag to override configurations when movie writing (fantastic for saving videos with highest quality settings).
When an exported project crashes, the crash handler message
shouldn't reference the Godot issue tracker, as not all crashes
are Godot's fault.
Reporting crashes that only occur on exported projects is still allowed,
but it should not be done by people who aren't working on the project
in question.
* Registration of server classes happened after Display initialization.
* This made no sense in practice and avoided the registration of custom server drivers (like custom XR server, custom Rendering server, custom XR server).
* Initialization moved to _before_ Display.
* Map is unnecessary and inefficient in almost every case.
* Replaced by the new HashMap.
* Renamed Map to RBMap and Set to RBSet for cases that still make sense
(order matters) but use is discouraged.
There were very few cases where replacing by HashMap was undesired because
keeping the key order was intended.
I tried to keep those (as RBMap) as much as possible, but might have missed
some. Review appreciated!
Adds a new, cleaned up, HashMap implementation.
* Uses Robin Hood Hashing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_table#Robin_Hood_hashing).
* Keeps elements in a double linked list for simpler, ordered, iteration.
* Allows keeping iterators for later use in removal (Unlike Map<>, it does not do much
for performance vs keeping the key, but helps replace old code).
* Uses a more modern C++ iterator API, deprecates the old one.
* Supports custom allocator (in case there is a wish to use a paged one).
This class aims to unify all the associative template usage and replace it by this one:
* Map<> (whereas key order does not matter, which is 99% of cases)
* HashMap<>
* OrderedHashMap<>
* OAHashMap<>
fixed and simplified gl_manager_windows
swap buffers now called for all windows
fixed missing pixel format setting in additional windows
this makes them work in OpenGL contexts
changed verbose error printing to write once
this error message happens very frequently while opengl3 is not finished
removed dead code no longer needed after changes
fixed comments that were misinformation
window messages during window creation now handled
these were previously discarded
messages now tunnel the required context
changed failure to create opengl3 window on windows to be more fatal
marked a problem with pen code
conditional compilation of vulkan and opengl3 on windows fixed
windows debug builds now show messages on debug console also
rendering driver selection box now shows only compiled drivers
marked some problematic code
thanks to akien-mga for patiently rewriting my style mistakes
* Changed to use the same stages as extensions.
* Makes the initialization more coherent, helping solve problems due to lack of stages.
* Makes it easier to port between module and extension.
* removed the DRIVER initialization level (no longer needed).
These typedefs don't save much typing compared to the full `Ref<Resource>`
and `Ref<RefCounted>`, yet they sometimes introduce confusion among
new contributors.
Autoloaded scripts should always inherit from Node. When you run a
project that tries to autoload a script which doesn’t inherit from Node,
then Godot gives an error.
Before this change, the error said “Script does not inherit a Node”.
That error message is a little bit misleading. If a class inherits a
Node, then one of its superclasses has a Node. If a class inherits
_from_ Node, then one of its superclasses is Node. This change corrects
that mistake.
Fixes#59884.
These set of changes focus primarily on getting the core logic and overall Godot Editor UI and functionality up and running natively on Android devices.
UI tweaks / cleanup / polish, as well configuration for Android specific functionality / restrictions will be addressed in follow-up PRs iteratively based on feedback.

- Print all StringNames, not just the top 100.
- Print statistics at the end of the list of StringNames,
with unreferenced and rarely referenced StringNames.
- List the CLI argument in `--help` and shell completion.
`--profile-gpu` was renamed to `--gpu-profile` for consistency with
`--gpu-abort`.
This also updates the shell completion files to the latest `master`
branch.
`DirAccess *` needs to be deleted manually, and this is often forgotten
especially when doing early returns with `ERR_FAIL_COND`.
`DirAccessRef` is deleted automatically when it goes out of scope.

This has been superseded by GDExtension so this code is no longer useful
nor usable.
There's still some GDNative-related stuff in platform export code which
needs to be adapted for GDExtension (e.g. to include GDExtension libraries
in exports).
Removes some unnecessary includes from `editor_node.h`, and instead add
those where they're used.
Removes unnecessary `editor_node.h` includes in various editor classes.
Renames `dynamicfont` to `dynamic_font` in a couple files.
Misc cleanup while jumping through that rabbit hole.
This fixes window management issues across platforms on hiDPI monitors.
The `--low-dpi` command line argument has been removed as similar
functionality (forcing low-DPI mode on DPI-aware programs) is
already provided by Windows and macOS itself.
Always build with the GUI subsystem.
Redirect stdout and stderr output to the parent process console.
Use CreateProcessW for blocking `execute` calls with piped stdout and stderr (prevent console windows for popping up when used with the GUI subsystem build, and have more consistent behavior with `create_process`).
Add `open_console` argument to the `execute` and `create_process` to open a new console window.
Remove `interface/editor/hide_console_window` editor setting.
Remove `Toggle System Console` menu option.
Remove `set_console_visible` and `is_console_visible` functions.
* Adds `indent(str)` to `String`:
* Indent the (multiline) string with the given indentation.
* This method is added in order to keep the translated XML correctly
indented.
* Moves the loading of tool/doc translation into
`editor/editor_translation.{h,cpp}`.
* This will be used from both `EditorSettings` and the doc tool from
`main`.
* Makes use of doc translation when generating XML class references, and
setup the translation locale based on `-l LOCALE` CLI parameter.
The XML class reference won't be translated if `-l LOCALE` parameter is
not given, or when it's `-l en`.
The Godot Project Leadership Committe has decided to update the sponsoring
tiers so that the Platinum Sponsorship no longer includes a logo on the
editor splash screen.
This lets us reclaim the editor splash screen space for community-related
content instead of sponsors (e.g. a different community-designed splash
screen for each stable branch?).
Also removes two Platinum Sponsors whose sponsorship has expired earlier this
year.
Split instance and physical device selection function and move device selection to window creation, to reject devices without present capability.
Add device preferred type check in discrete > integrated > virtual > cpu > other order.
Add device list printout.
Add command line argument to override device selection.
Settings that aren't within a subsection are difficult to reach when
other settings do have a subsection.
This also adds documentation for the project setting.
Only Vulkan is fully implemented for now, so OpenGL isn't available
in the project manager yet.
This also makes the rendering driver checks use lowercase names
everywhere for consistency.
- Rename OpenGL to GLES3 in the source code per community feedback.
- The renderer is still exposed as "OpenGL 3" to the user.
- Hide renderer selection dropdown until OpenGL support is more mature.
- The renderer can still be changed in the Project Settings or using
the `--rendering-driver opengl` command line argument.
- Remove commented out exporter code.
- Remove some OpenGL/DisplayServer-related debugging prints.
First implementation with Linux display manager.
- Add single-threaded mode for EditorResourcePreview (needed for OpenGL).

Sets `AlignOperands` to `DontAlign`.
`clang-format` developers seem to mostly care about space-based indentation and
every other version of clang-format breaks the bad mismatch of tabs and spaces
that it seems to use for operand alignment. So it's better without, so that it
respects our two-tabs `ContinuationIndentWidth`.
That removal was correct, but triggered a bug in our messy-as-heck main.cpp
detection logic for editor/project manager/project/command line tool...
Fixing this is for another day.
This gives visual feedback when not starting Godot from a terminal.
This could lead to confusion when placing a Godot binary within a
project folder that has no main scene defined.
Three attack points, all after the regular calculations:
1. Prevent negative physics timestep counts. They could occur if
physics_jtter_fix is changed at runtime.
2. idle_step is not allowed to go below 1/8th of the input step.
That could happen on physics_jitter_fix changes or heavily
fluctuating performance.
3. Prevent that the idle_step modification breaks the promise
that Engine.get_physics_interpolation_fraction() is between
0 and 1 by doing more physics steps than the base system wants.

Allow starting the editor debugger server for the given protocol (and
optionally bound to the given ip/port combination:
godot -e --debug-server tcp://*:8080
If enabled, key/touch/joystick events will be flushed just before every idle and physics frame.
Enabling this can greatly improve the responsiveness to input, specially in devices that need to run multiple physics frames per each idle frame, because of not being powerful enough to run at the target frame rate.
This will only work for platforms using input buffering (regardless event accumulation). Currenly, only Android does so, but could be implemented for iOS in an upcoming PR.
Input buffering is implicitly used by event accumulation, but this commit makes it more generic so it can be enabled for other uses.
For desktop OSs it's currently not feasible given main and UI threads are the same).
* Only apply final actions to attachments used in the last pass.
* Fixes to draw list final action (was using continue instead of read/drop).
* Profiling regions inside draw lists now properly throw errors.
* Ability to enable gpu profile printing from project settings. (used to debug).
This makes it clearer that this property is only about physics FPS,
not rendering FPS.
The `physics_fps` project setting was also renamed to
`physics_ticks_per_second` for consistency.
* Most resource types now have unique identifiers.
* Applies to text, binary and imported resources.
* File formats reference both by text and UID (when available). UID always has priority.
* Resource UIDs are 64 bits for better compatibility with the engine.
* Can be represented and used textually, example `uuid://dapwmgsmnl28u`.
* A special binary cache file is used and exported, containing the mappings.
Example of how it looks:
```GDScript
[gd_scene load_steps=2 format=3 uid="uid://dw86wq31afig2"]
[ext_resource type="PackedScene" uid="uid://bt36ojelx8q6c" path="res://subscene.scn" id="1_t56hs"]
```
GDScript, shaders and other special resource files can't currently provide UIDs, but this should be doable with special keywords on the files.
This will be reserved for future PRs.
There are many issues with using multiple windows by default:
- Taking screenshots of a specific window will not capture subwindows.
This also applies when recording a video using tools such as OBS.
- Subwindows may not behave correctly when fullscreen mode is enabled,
especially if exclusive fullscreen is implemented in the future
to decrease input lag on Windows.
"Subwindows" is quite general here, and also refers to dropdown menus
(e.g. those spawned by OptionButton) and Control tooltips.
Therefore, it's safer to embed subwindows by default in projects.
Multi-window mode remains the default in the editor.
* This PR adds the ability to disable classes when building.
* For now it's only possible to do this via command like:
`scons disable_classes=RayCast2D,Area3D`
* Eventually, a proper UI will be implemented to create a build config file to do this at large scale, as well as detect what is used in the project.
* Fixed and redone the process to obtain render information from a viewport
* Some stats, such as material changes are too difficult to guess on Vulkan, were removed.
* Separated visible and shadow stats, which causes confusion.
* Texture, buffer and general video memory can be queried now.
* Fixed the performance metrics too.
* Deprecates GDNative in favor of a simpler, lower level interface.
* New extension system allows registering core engine classes.
* Simple header interface in gdnative_interace.h
This makes Godot avoid distortion when resizing the window to an aspect
ratio that doesn't match the project's base aspect ratio.
Since this setting has no effect when the stretch mode is `disabled`
(the default), this won't impact projects not using the `canvas_items`
or `viewport` stretch modes.
WARNING: Hacks everywhere!
The logic in `main.cpp` is due a full rewrite as it's extremely hacky,
splitting argument parsing over several functions, with a mess of global state
and assumptions about what combinations of arguments or lack thereof should
mean in terms of what we want to read: game, editor, project manager, or
command line tools such as `--doctool`, `--export` or `--script`.
Until this is fully rewritten, this patch hacks things some more to ensure
that we don't fall back to the project manager in cases where it's not
warranted, and especially not *too late*, as it can mean that we haven't
properly initialized stuff like `EditorPaths` needed by the PM (which in turn
impacts what kind of path will be used for logs and the shader cache, etc...
the rabbit hole goes deep).
Fixes#41435.
Fixes#49392.
Fixes#49658.
Fixes https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/38202#issuecomment-773158477.
- EditorSettings: Ensure that `create()` makes a valid singleton.
Fixes#49179, fixes#49450.
- EditorPaths: Cleanup code, properly set `paths_valid`.
- EditorPaths: Move more paths validation (check, mkdir) from
EditorSettings for a better separation of concerns.
- EditorPaths: Move EditorFileSystem creation of `.godot/imported`
next to other paths.
Physics FPS above 1000 cause the whole project to slow down
and are not very practical in the first place (since no CPU currently
available can keep up).
* Shader compilation is now cached. Subsequent loads take less than a millisecond.
* Improved game, editor and project manager startup time.
* Editor uses .godot/shader_cache to store shaders.
* Game uses user://shader_cache
* Project manager uses $config_dir/shader_cache
* Options to tweak shader caching in project settings.
* Editor path configuration moved from EditorSettings to new class, EditorPaths, so it can be available early on (before shaders are compiled).
* Reworked ShaderCompilerRD to ensure deterministic shader code creation (else shader may change and cache will be invalidated).
* Added shader compression with SMOLV: https://github.com/aras-p/smol-v
- Tweak the setting property hint to be more informative.
- Make the setting a "basic" setting so it appears when Advanced Settings
is disabled.
- Remove redundant orientation setting in the iOS export preset.
The project setting is now used (like on Android).
Projects upgrading from a previous version will have to set the
screen orientation again in the Project Settings if it wasn't set
to the default value ("landscape").
The "Anisotropic" term is abbreviated as spelling it out would cause
the PopupMenu to overflow the editor window when using the default
inspector width.
- Display the frame time in addition to FPS.
- Frame time is a more objective measurement in comparison to FPS,
but FPS is more familiar to people less acquainted with profiling.
- Rename "Game" to "Project" for the project FPS printing line.
This adds the ability to add overrides for built-in actions (i.e. ui_*) in the editor. Also added a number of additional built-in actions for various text-related actions, gui-generic actions (like copy and paste) and graph-related actions (duplicate nodes), etc. Moved the definition of input actions to input_map, rather than in project_settings so the editor can make use of these actions as well.
-Advanced Settings toggle also hides advanced properties when disabled
-Simplified Advanced Bar (errors were just plain redundant)
-Reorganized rendering quality settings.
-Reorganized miscelaneous settings for clean up.
In addition, add support for scaling and applying filter to the splash screen on Android.
One limitation of the api being used is that the splash screen aspect ratio is not maintained when it's scaled up.
-Rendering server now uses a split RID allocate/initialize internally, this allows generating RIDs immediately but initialization to happen later on the proper thread (as rendering APIs generally requiere to call on the right thread).
-RenderingServerWrapMT is no more, multithreading is done in RenderingServerDefault.
-Some functions like texture or mesh creation, when renderer supports it, can register and return immediately (so no waiting for server API to flush, and saving staging and command buffer memory).
-3D physics server changed to be made multithread friendly.
-Added PhysicsServer3DWrapMT to use 3D physics server from multiple threads.
-Disablet Bullet (too much effort to make multithread friendly, this needs to be fixed eventually).
This ensures that settings like `gui/theme/custom_font` handle resource
remappings properly, as they load resources in `register_scene_types()`.
Path remaps used to be done before loading scene types in early Godot
versions (as hinted by the "Load Remaps" comment just before "Load Scene
Types") but this was broken when developing new localization features.
Fixes#17640.
