This makes it easier to spot syntax errors when editing the
class reference. The schema is referenced locally so validation
can still work offline.
Each class XML's schema conformance is also checked on GitHub Actions.
We've had many issues with WebM support and specifically the libvpx library
over the years, mostly due to its poor integration in Godot's buildsystem,
but without anyone really interested in improving this state.
With the new GDExtensions in Godot 4.0, we intend to move video decoding to
first-party extensions, and this would likely be done using something like
libvlc to expose more codecs.
Removing the `webm` module means we can remove libsimplewebm, libvpx and
opus, which we were only used for that purpose. Both libvpx and opus were
fairly complex pieces of the buildsystem, so this is a nice cleanup.
This also removes the compile-time dependency on `yasm`.
Fixes lots of compilation or non-working WebM issues which will be linked
in the PR.
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 🎆
Since we clone the environments to build thirdparty code, we don't get an
explicit dependency on the build objects produced by that environment.
So when we update thirdparty code, Godot code using it is not necessarily
rebuilt (I think it is for changed headers, but not for changed .c/.cpp files),
which can lead to an invalid compilation output (linking old Godot .o files
with a newer, potentially ABI breaking version of thirdparty code).
This was only seen as really problematic with bullet updates (leading to
crashes when rebuilding Godot after a bullet update without cleaning .o files),
but it's safer to fix it everywhere, even if it's a LOT of hacky boilerplate.
Configured for a max line length of 120 characters.
psf/black is very opinionated and purposely doesn't leave much room for
configuration. The output is mostly OK so that should be fine for us,
but some things worth noting:
- Manually wrapped strings will be reflowed, so by using a line length
of 120 for the sake of preserving readability for our long command
calls, it also means that some manually wrapped strings are back on
the same line and should be manually merged again.
- Code generators using string concatenation extensively look awful,
since black puts each operand on a single line. We need to refactor
these generators to use more pythonic string formatting, for which
many options are available (`%`, `format` or f-strings).
- CI checks and a pre-commit hook will be added to ensure that future
buildsystem changes are well-formatted.
Since the new audio system in 3.0 we switched the OGG support to
stb_vorbis, and the Opus stream support was disabled as incompatible
(see #7496).
We still build the libraries as they are needed by the theora and webm
modules, but we don't need any Godot code apart from `register_types`.
Fixes#7496.
Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!
We're starting a new decade with a well-established, non-profit, free
and open source game engine, and tons of further improvements in the
pipeline from hundreds of contributors.
Godot will keep getting better, and we're looking forward to all the
games that the community will keep developing and releasing with it.
Include paths are processed from left to right, so we use Prepend to
ensure that paths to bundled thirdparty files will have precedence over
system paths (e.g. `/usr/include` should have lowest priority).
Using `misc/scripts/fix_headers.py` on all Godot files.
Some missing header guards were added, and the header inclusion order
was fixed in the Bullet module.
That year should bring the long-awaited OpenGL ES 3.0 compatible renderer
with state-of-the-art rendering techniques tuned to work as low as middle
end handheld devices - without compromising with the possibilities given
for higher end desktop games of course. Great times ahead for the Godot
community and the gamers that will play our games!
This allows to pass include paths and flags only to a given thirdparty
library, thus preventing conflicts between their files (e.g. between
opus and openssl which both provide modes.h.
This also has the nice effect of making the compilation command smaller
for each module as it no longer related to all other modules, only the
final linking brings them together.
This however requires adding manually the ogg include path in opus
and vorbis when building against the builtin ogg, since it is no longer
in the global env.
Also simplified template 'thirdparty_<module>_sources' to
'thirdparty_sources'.
"Core" modules like cscript, gdscript, gridmap, ik and virtual_script
still use the main env_modules, but it could be changed if need be.
Took the opportunity to undo the Godot changed made to the
opus source. The opus module should eventually be built in its
own environment to avoid polluting others with too many include
dirs and defines.
TODO: Fix the platform/ stuff for opus.
