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 🎆
(cherry picked from commit b5334d14f7)
1. show valid directory path when opening editor file dialog
2. keep file name when changing path by entering path
3. add first extension in filter automatically if not given
4. remove directory in recent list if it's not valid anymore
(cherry picked from commit 1f4b1e1488)
The code we had for PVRTexTool doesn't work as it's not compatible with current
PVRTexTool CLI options, and likely hasn't been for years.
Instead, we have our own vendored pvrtccompressor thirdparty library which all
users have thus de-facto been using. This commit moves the compress code to
`modules/pvr` where it belongs.
There's no proper compress function for PVRTC 2-bit format, that's a bug that
will need to be fixed (currently it's compressed as 4-bit format even if you
use Image::FORMAT_PVRTC2).
Fixes#28669.
(cherry picked from commit 1a31274855)
Now that the F1 key is available, we can bind Search Help to the key
generally used in other applications to open the help menu.
(cherry picked from commit 42685f514f)
Export presets contains the export_path option, to specify the default
export location, but the CLI export option disregarded that, and always
required and export path to be specified.
After this commit, if the export path is not specified in the command,
the one in the preset will be used, erroring only if it's not present or
invalid.
(cherry picked from commit 032a1c5dc3)
Switching between editors now requires holding Ctrl to avoid
conflicts with the new F2 shortcut.
The asset library can now be accessed by pressing Ctrl + F4
on Windows and Linux, or Alt + 4 on macOS.
This partially addresses #38139.
(cherry picked from commit 79e4e26738)
This also makes borders always display in the editor theme,
even if the editor scale is below 100%. Otherwise, "focus" outlines
would vanish when using an editor scale below 100%,
which harms usability.
The editor used to only copy drag-dropped files in the File System pane
if the given file was a valid resource, or had a specific file format
(ttf, otf).
With this PR, all drag and dropped files are copied instead, no matter
their extension.
(cherry picked from commit 410b324740)
A static function is added to EditorNode which allows for filename
disambiguation given a list of filenames and the corresponding list of
absolute paths for those files. This function is then used to
disambiguate scene and script tabs in the editor.
(cherry picked from commit 4285211f40)
The existing theme editor icon could be unintentionally set for any
global class with matching name (`Group` icon, `Group` class_name etc),
which would only show up in the "Create Dialog" context, but not the
scene tree dock.
This change prevents this behavior, and ensures that the icon can be
actually overidden by explicit icon path in `class_name`, if there's any
custom icon to begin with.
The correct built-in type's icon is fetched for child classes if there
are no custom icons detected throughout base classes as well, so it
isn't left empty for those cases.
(cherry picked from commit c177308f80)
`get_global_class_name` for `GDScriptLanguage` is slow because
it forces to parse an entire script each time. This patch ensures
that the icon is actually fetched from the EditorData where they
are loaded beforehand.
This change also makes the behavior consistent with the existing
`get_object_icon` method in EditorNode.
(cherry picked from commit 4a86e2bb76)
The crash happens further down when setting an invalid owner in
`Node::_set_owner_nocheck` but I couldn't figure out how to fix it.
But here the proper fix is to catch the invalid scene file early on
and fail loading it.
Part of #17372.
(cherry picked from commit c080ec5da2)
This option can be used to workaround various issues with stuff
not reloading properly when changes are made.
The option was renamed to clarify the fact that it actually
reloads the scene saved on the filesystem.
(cherry picked from commit 2962819d1c)
The Request Docs button is partly responsible for layout overflow
issues on narrow displays, such as #31133.
It also tended to attract spam and low-effort issues that were
difficult to act upon. A "Send Docs Feedback" menu option has been added
to replace it.
(cherry picked from commit 2f6f029a75)
Fixed FileSystemDock's `file_removed` and `folder_removed` signals not being
emitted because the emitted was using the wrong signal name.
(cherry picked from commit fe0b783e70)
Whenever any node is renamed, EditorNode::_edit_current() is called and it resets plugins used for current edited properties. This change forces the inspector to update even though the same object is edited, to make sure all plugins are restored properly from unfolded properties/resources/etc.
Fixes#32832
The previous behavior relying on the provided extension was problematic
on macOS since .zip is the main extension used for the full project
export (binary + data pack).
We add a dedicated `--export-pack` command line option to define when
only the data pack should be exported. Its extension will still be
inferred from the path.
Fixes#23073.
I'm barely scratching the surface of the changes needed to make the
--export command line interface easy to use, but this should already
improve things somewhat.
- Streamline `can_export()` templates check in all platforms, checking
first for the presence of official templates, then of any defined
custom template, and reporting on the absence of any.
Shouldn't change the actual return value much which is still true if
either release or debug is usable - we might want to change that
eventually and better validate against the requested target.
- Fix discrepancy between platforms using `custom_package/debug` and
`custom_template/debug` (resp. `release`).
All now use `custom_template`, which will break compatibility for
`export_presets.cfg` with earlier projects (but is easy to fix).
- Use `can_export()` when attempting a command line export and report
the same errors that would be shown in the editor.
- Improve error reporting after a failed export attempt, handling
missing template and invalid path more gracefully.
- Cleanup of unused stuff in EditorNode around the export workflow.
- Improve --export documentation in --help a bit.
Fixes#16949 (at least many of the misunderstandings listed there).
Fixes#18470.
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.
