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`.
