`shader_uniform` is now consistenly used across both per-shader
and per-instance shader uniform methods. This makes methods easier
to find in the class reference when looking for them.
Since Python 3.5+ is required, we can use proper type hints based on PEP 484. Because we are working on contributor tooling we can assume 3.6+ and use PEP 526 for variable declarations as well.
This is consistent with the BaseMaterial3D filtering options.
It can be used for high-quality pixel art textures that remain sharp
when viewed at oblique angles, but prevents them from becoming grainy
thanks to mipmaps.
This behavior was inconsistent with other editor-only nodes such as
Position3D, Position2D and ReferenceRect. It also caused issues when
a script extended RootMotionView as it ceased to work when the project
was run.
- Change Tree's drop_position_color from orange to white.
- Change ItemList's guide_color to the same color as Tree's, which fits in with a dark theme better.
Particles won't move or rotate anymore with the node (or its parents)
by default. This new default behavior is generally more suited
to most use cases. Local coordinates can still be enabled on a per-node basis.
This affects both 2D and 3D particles, and both CPU and GPU-based particles.
This can be used to restart a project with specific command line arguments
applied. This can work in tandem with `OS.get_cmdline_args()` to restart
with the same command line arguments as used to originally run the project.
Example use cases:
- Restart to apply an user setting change that requires a restart to work.
- Restart with a Godot command line argument to change the video driver,
audio driver, etc.
- Increase the default non-volumetric fog density to 0.01 to make
adjustments more visible.
- Use a less saturated non-volumetric fog color by default
(a mix of the sky and horizon colors of the new default
ProceduralSkyMaterial).
- Set Volumetric Fog Gi Inject to 1.0 by default. Injecting GI results
in more realistic appearance of volumetric fog, at a very low
performance cost.
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`
This was removed in #63481, and we confirmed that it's better like this,
but we add back the possibility to strip CR as an option, to optionally
restore the previous behavior.
For performance this is done directly in `String::parse_utf8`.
Also fixes Android `FileAccess::get_line()` as this one _should_ strip CR.
Supersedes #63717.
Overall brightness is similar to the previous settings, but lighting
now fades off more naturally and reflections feature indirect lighting.
Performance is identical.
- Enable Use Two Bounces by default.
- Decrease Propagation to 0.5 to compensate for the second bounce.
This is a virtual method that can be used to add additional error
condition checks while the connection is still being dragged. If true is
returned, the connection is valid. If false is returned, the connection
is invalid and thus not possible (ie. it will not snap). The virtual
method is exposed with an underscore to scripts.
This can be used to recolor special effects such as fake area fog
without having to create separate textures for each color.
- Improve the Decal class documentation.
- Provide a visual indication that a (sub)group contains non-default (revertable) values when it's collapsed.
- Add a new option to the inspector's tools menu for expanding only (sub)groups containing properties with non-default values.
Fix add_surface_from_arrays description in ImporterMesh.xml and ArrayMesh.xml to correctly describe sub-array length requirements.
Also add missing comma in MeshInstance3D.xml, reword slightly.
Settings defined in editor plugins are missing (about 100 of them),
but all other settings (about 200 of them) can now be documented in the
EditorSettings class.

- 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.
Mipmap LOD bias can be useful to improve the appearance of distant
textures without increasing anisotropic filtering (or in situations
where anisotropic filtering is not effective).
`fsr_mipmap_bias` was renamed to `texture_mipmap_bias` accordingly.
The property hint now allows for greater precision as well.
When generating rst files from xml class reference, unknown references
to operators were generated, as something like:
:ref:`operator <<class_Vector2_operator_lt_bool>`
was rendered in html as:
operator ( Vector2 right )
-it just needed escaping.
The small addendum checks for operator names containing '<' and
substitutes it with '\<', escaping at rst level and generating
instead the right rendered html:
operator < ( Vector2 right )
This affected mostly the reference pages of the VectorX family of
classes. If in the future more types need escaping, a more
general solution will be needed.
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.
The new default values are more usable in real world scenarios
when smooth fading of distant decals is desired for performance reasons.
The Decal distance fade property hints were adjusted based on the
GeometryInstance3D visibility range fade property hints. `or_greater`
was also added to allow specifying larger values if needed.
- 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.
On #43310, class reference was automatically updated from source,
causing xml documentation to disagree with parameter naming
description on Plane.intersects_segment().
Weirdly, it also changed the parameter for Plane.is_point_over()
from point to plane, when only the first has sense (and it is
defined on math.Plane as "const Vector3 &p_point"). Manual
mistake?
* Update begin/end to from/to on Plane.intersects_segment(...)
docs description to match source
* Update Plane bindings to use points instread of plane for
is_point_over(...)
* Change Plane.is_point_over(plane) to Plane.is_point_over(point)
AND its description on docs
Fixesgodotengine/godot-docs#5976
Implement built-in classes Vector4, Vector4i and Projection.
* Two versions of Vector4 (float and integer).
* A Projection class, which is a 4x4 matrix specialized in projection types.
These types have been requested for a long time, but given they were very corner case they were not added before.
Because in Godot 4, reimplementing parts of the rendering engine is now possible, access to these types (heavily used by the rendering code) becomes a necessity.
**Q**: Why Projection and not Matrix4?
**A**: Godot does not use Matrix2, Matrix3, Matrix4x3, etc. naming convention because, within the engine, these types always have a *purpose*. As such, Godot names them: Transform2D, Transform3D or Basis. In this case, this 4x4 matrix is _always_ used as a _Projection_, hence the naming.
Based on #62896, only implements the BPM support part.
* Implements BPM support in the AudioStreamOGG/MP3 importers.
* Can select BPM/Bar Size and total beats in a song file, as well as edit looping points.
* Looping is now BPM aware
* Added a special importer UI for configuring this.
* Added a special preview showing the audio waveform as well as the playback position in the resource picker.
* Renamed `AudioStream::instance` to `instantiate` for correctness.
* Moved preprocessor to Shader and ShaderInclude
* Clean up RenderingServer side
* Preprocessor is separate from parser now, but it emits tokens with include location hints.
* Improved ShaderEditor validation code
* Added include file code completion
* Added notification for all files affected by a broken include.
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.
This PR is a continuation of #50381 (which was implemented exactly a year ago!)
* Add a visual interface to select which classes should not be built into Godot (well, they are built if something else uses them, but if not used the optimizer will remove them out).
* Add a detection system to scan the project and figure out the actual classes used.
* Added the ability for SCons to load build profiles.
Obligatory Screen:
A simple test with a couple of nodes in the scene resulted in a 25% reduction for the final binary size
TODO:
* Script languages need to implement used class detection (left for another PR).
* Options to disable servers or server functionalities (like 2D or 3D physics, navigation, etc). Are missing, that should also greatly aid in reducing binary size.
* Options to disable some modules would be desired.
* More options to disable drivers (OpenGL, Vulkan, etc) would be desired.
In general this PR is a starting point for more contributors to improve and enhance this functionality.
MultiplayerSynchronizers can now be configured to limit their visibility
to a subset of the connected peers, if the synchronized node was spawned
by a MultiplayerSpawner (either automatically or via custom spawn) the
given node will also be despawned remotely.
The replication system doesn't have the logic to handle subspawn
directly, but it is possible to handle them appropriately by manually
updating the visibility of the parent before changing the one of the
nested spawns via the "update_visibility" function.
The visibility of each MultiplayerSynchronizer can be controlled by
adding or remove filters via "[add|remove]_visibility_filter(callable)".
To further optimize the network code, visibility filters can be configured
to be automatically updated during idle or physics frame, or set to always
require manual update (via the "update_visibility" function).
`rendering/quality/shadows` is now `rendering/quality/positional_shadow`
to explicitly denote that the settings only affect positional light shadows,
not directional light shadows.
Shadow atlas settings now contain the word "atlas" for easier searching.
Soft shadow quality settings were renamed to contain the word "filter".
This makes the settings appear when searching for "filter" in the
project settings dialog, like in Godot 3.x.
And finally remove the 'frames' property which was added for compatibility with 2.1
in bed3efb17e.
Fixes#21765.
The 'animations' property on the other hand is needed, contrarily to what its comment
said (copy-paste mistake probably).
Also removes unused '_get_animation_list'.
This ensures videos are always visible as soon as a video file
is specified in the VideoStreamPlayer node. The node will no longer
be resized to 0×0 by default, making the video invisible in the process
(even if the audio can still be heard).
This allows not accounting for certain visible meshes during baking
(such as foliage and thin fixtures).
This also adds a clarification about transparent materials always
being excluded in the OccluderInstance3D documentation.
Allows specifying an expression as a condition for state machine transitions.
This gives much greater flexibility for creating complex state machines. By directly interfacing with the script code, it is possible to create complex animation advance condition for switching between states.
Ensure assigning AnimationTreeStateMachineTransition base expression node in editor is relative to current AnimationTree node.
Allow setting an expression base node on the AnimationTree itself.

For this to work safely (user not call queue_free or something in the expression), a const call mode was added to Object and Variant (and optionally Script).
This mode ensures only const functions can be called, making it safe to use from the editor.

- Rename audio mix rate setting as the suffix is now part of the
property hint. This is also more consistent with existing mix rate
project settings.
- Improve the MovieWriter class reference.
- Tweak warning message about audio possibly going out of sync.
This PR implements:
* A new hint: PROPERTY_HINT_NODE_TYPE for variant type OBJECT, which can take specific node types as hint string.
* The editor will show it as a node path, but will set it as a pointer to a node from the current scene if you select a path.
* When scene is saved, the node path is saved, then restored as a pointer.
NOTE: This is a proof of concept and this approach will most likely not work. The reason if that, if the node referenced is deleted, then when trying to edit this the node will become invalid.
Potential workarounds: Since this uses the Variant API, it should obtain the pointer from the Variant object ID. Yet, this would either only really work in GDScript or it would need to be implemented with workarounds in every language.
Alternative ways to make this work: Nodes could export an additional property with a node path (like for which_node, it could be which_node_path).
Another alternative: Path editing could happen as a hidden metadata (ignoring the pointer).
Recast (the library used for baking) has no concept of a geometry "inside" and this is intentional. ReCast will add navigation mesh to areas as soon as the area inside a source geometry mesh is large enough to fit a navigation mesh polygon with current baking parameters.
Adds map_force_update() function to NavigationServer. This function immediately flushes the Navigationserver command queue and recalculates all navigationmeshes and region connections for a specific map.
Added new function that returns all created navigation map RIDs from the NavigationServer. The function returns both 2D and 3D created navigation maps as technically there is no distinction between them.
* 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).
The name was confusing as this signal is emitted around the same time as
`tree_exiting` and `NOTIFICATION_EXIT_TREE`, i.e. while the child node is
still in tree.
Fixes#59210.
Fix mistake making `set_custom_format` impossible to use.
Automatically forward custom flags in `SurfaceTool.commit`.
Add documentation in `SurfaceTool` and `Mesh` for custom channels.
Deprecate `SurfaceTool.generate_lod` and expose `ImporterMesh.generate_lods`.
Nearest-neighbor filtering of the heightmap results in a broken
appearance, with and without Deep Parallax enabled on the material.
Linear filtering results in a more expected appearance. This does
not affect other texture maps such as albedo, normal or roughness.
This is done to prevent reducing texture quality when it doesn't save
much video memory, especially for pixel art.
The size threshold can be adjusted in the project settings.
To get the previous behavior where textures detected to be used in 3D
had their compression mode always set to VRAM, set this to the lowest value
(16).
This is automatically enabled on all platforms including
Windows 10 and later, whenever a TTY environment is detected.
In non-TTY environments such as CI, this can be forced using the
`--color` command line argument.
