Recording a movie can take a long time, so the user may not be
paying attention to the editor while leaving a movie rendering
in the background.
This also allows editor plugins to access the state of Movie Maker mode
within the editor (and set it).
* 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).
* 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!
These typedefs don't save much typing compared to the full `Ref<Resource>`
and `Ref<RefCounted>`, yet they sometimes introduce confusion among
new contributors.
Didn't commit all the changes where it wants to initialize a struct
with `{}`. Should be reviewed in a separate PR.
Option `IgnoreArrays` enabled for now to be conservative, can be
disabled to see if it proposes more useful changes.
Also fixed manually a handful of other missing initializations / moved
some from constructors.
Most of the custom logic to handle special keying cases is now inside
the AnimationPlayerEditorPlugin.
The EditorInspector now emits a signal when inspecting a new object.
Clarifies that the button opens the user:// dir
and for better consistency with certain ProjectSettings values:
"Use Hidden Project Data Directory" is named similarly, but refers to data within res://
and two values refer to user:// as "User Dir"
(Translations were not updated)
and rename enum value accordingly
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.
First implementation with Linux display manager.
- Add single-threaded mode for EditorResourcePreview (needed for OpenGL).

Respect client "supportsVariableType" capability
Implement "breakpointLocations" request
Implement "restart" request
Implement "evaluate" request
Fix error messages not being shown, and improved wrong path message
Removed thread option and behavior
Implemented detailed inspection of complex variables
Fix "const"ness of functions
Added a configurable timeout for requests
Implement Godot custom data request/event
Implement syncing of breakpoints
Added support for debugging native platforms
* `_gui_input`, `_input`, `_unhandled_input` and `_unhandled_key_input` are now regular C++ virutal functions.
* Everything else converted to GDVIRTUAL
* BIND_VMETHOD is gone, always use the new syntax from now on.
Creating `_gui_input` method and using the binder to register events will no longer work, simply override the virtual function now.
* Extensions are now scanned and loaded on demand.
* Extensions found are cached into a file that is used to load them (which is also exported).
* Editor will ask to restart when an extension requires core functionality.
* Editor will attempt to load extensions always before importing or loading scenes. This ensures extensions can register the relevant types.
* If not present, the dialog asks to load build sources from a file.
* The export templates check now also verifies that build sources are installed and skips the template check.
This makes Android development easier.
- 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.
* 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
- Move most properties from TileMap to TileSet,
- Make TileSet more flexible, supporting more feature (several
collision layers, etc...),
- Fusion both the TileMap and TileSet editor,
- Implement TileSetSources, and thus a new way to index tiles in the TileSet,
- Rework the TileSet and TileMap editors completely,
- Implement an editor zoom widget (and use it in several places)
* Added option for importers to show an Advanced settings dialog
* Created advanced settings dialog for Scene Importer
* Cleaned up importers (remove many old/unused options)
* Added the ability to customize every node, material, mesh and animation individually
* Saving to animations and meshes to files is now a manual process, making it more predictable
* Added the ability for materials to be replaced by external files (or to be made external, up to you).
* When doubleclicking an impoted scene in the filesystem dock, it automatically shows the import settings instead of asking to open it.
WARNING: Lightmap UV unwrap is not working, it needs to be re-made.
- Based on C++11's `atomic`
- Reworked `SafeRefCount` (based on the rewrite by @hpvb)
- Replaced free atomic functions by the new `SafeNumeric<T>`
- Replaced wrong cases of `volatile bool` by the new `SafeFlag`
- Platform-specific implementations no longer needed

-Only update rendering settings when project settings change
-Fixes the update spinner (and editor rendering) updating all the time.

- No more need to allocate-deallocate or check for null
- No pointer anymore, just a member variable
- Platform-specific implementations no longer needed (except for the few cases of non-portable functions)
- Simpler for `NO_THREADS`
- Thread ids are now the same across platforms (main is 1; others follow)
Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!
2020 has been a tough year for most of us personally, but a good year for
Godot development nonetheless with a huge amount of work done towards Godot
4.0 and great improvements backported to the long-lived 3.2 branch.
We've had close to 400 contributors to engine code this year, authoring near
7,000 commit! (And that's only for the `master` branch and for the engine code,
there's a lot more when counting docs, demos and other first-party repos.)
Here's to a great year 2021 for all Godot users 🎆
