When editor continuous redraws is switched off, the editor only redraws when a redraw_request was issued by an element in the scene. This works well in most situations, but when scenes have dynamic content they will continuously issue redraw_requests.
This can be fine on high power desktops but can be an annoyance on lower power machines.
This PR splits redraw requests into high and low priority requests, defaulting to high priority. Requests due to e.g. shaders using TIME are assigned low priority.
An extra editor setting is used to record the user preference and an extra option is added to the editor spinner menu, to allow the user to select between 3 modes:
* Continuous
* Update all changes
* Update vital changes
Change the existing DEV_ASSERT function to be switched on and off by the DEV_ENABLED define. DEV_ASSERT breaks into the debugger as soon as hit.
Add error macros DEV_CHECK and DEV_CHECK_ONCE to add an alternative check that ERR_PRINT when a condition fails, again only enabled in DEV_ENABLED builds.
All my earlier test cases for software skinning had the polys parent transform to be identity. This works fine until you had cases where the user had moved the transform of the parent nodes of skinned polys.
This PR fixes this situation by taking into account the final (concatenated) transform of the polys RELATIVE to the skeleton base transform. It does this by applying the inverse skeleton base transform to the poly final transform.
The final_modulate was incorrectly being set in the uniform on light passes in GLES3 in situations where color was baked in the vertices. This was already correct in GLES2. This PR makes prevents setting final_modulate in this situation.
When users create an invalid shader, the shader->valid flag is set to false. Batching previously assumes that shaders are valid, and this can result in primitives with invalid shader being joined, causing visual errors.
This PR prevents joining items that have invalid shaders.
In rare cases default batches could occur which were containing commands that were not owned by the first item referenced by the joined item. This had assumed to be the case, and would read the wrong command, or crash.
Instead for safety in this PR we now store a pointer to the parent item in default batches, and use this to determine the correct command list instead of assuming.
Trying to use the old `hardware_transform` flag to combine the new large_fvf has lead to several bugs. So here the logic is broken out into 2 separate components, single item and large_fvf.
The old `hardware_transform` name also no longer makes sense, as there are now 3 transform paths:
Software (CPU)
Hardware (uniform)
Hardware (attribute)
Although batching supported both ninepatch modes (fixed and scaling) when using ninepatch stretch mode, the ninepatch tiling modes (in GLES3) could only run through the shader.
The shader only supported one of the ninepatch modes. This PR uses the hack method of #if defined in the shader to prevent the use of a conditional. The define is set at startup according to the project setting.
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)
For fixing a previous issue state.canvas_texscreen_used was reset to false at the start of each render_joined_item. This was causing a later shader that used SCREEN_TEXTURE to force recapturing the back buffer immediately prior to use, which we don't want.
This PR preserves the state across joined items, and also prevents joining of items that copy the back buffer as this may be problematic.
It turns out that the original issue that needed the line is now fixed, and the later issue is also fixed by removing it.
While adding more debug checks to legacy renderer, I closed 2 types of vulnerabilities:
* TYPE_PRIMITIVE would previously read from uninitialized data if only specifying a single color
* Other legacy draw operations would fail in debug AFTER accessing out of bounds memory rather than before
Many calls to glBufferSubData are wrapped in a safe version which checks for out of bounds and exits the draw function if this is detected.
Large FVF allows batching of many custom shaders, but should not join items which have shaders that utilize BUILTINs which would change for each item, because these will not be sent individually, and all joined items would wrongly use the values from the first joined item.
This adds support for custom shaders for polys, and properly handles modulate in the case of large FVF and modulate FVF.
It also fixes poly vertex colors not being sent to OpenGL.
As a result of the GLES specifications being vague about best practice for how buffers should be used dynamically, different GPUs / platforms appear to have different preferences.
Mac in particular seems to have a number of problems in this area, and none of the rendering team uses Macs. So far we have relied on guesswork to choose the best usage, but in an attempt to pin this down, this PR begins to introduce manual selection of options for users to test their configurations.
In small batches using hardware transform, vertices would be drawn in incorrect positions due to the item transform being applied twice - once in the transform uniform, and once from the transform passed as a vertex attribute.
This PR alters the shader to ignore uniform transforms when using large FVF.
Batching is mostly separated into a common template which can be used with multiple backends (GLES2 and GLES3 here). Only necessary specifics are in the backend files.
Batching is extended to cover more primitives.
When not using TEXTURE_RECT path, flips have to sent via another method to the shader, to ensure that normal maps are correctly adjusted for direction. This PR adds an extra vertex attribute, LIGHT_ANGLE.
For nvidia workarounds, where the shader still has access to the final transform and extra matrix, the LIGHT_ANGLE can be 0 (no adjustment), 180 degrees for a horizontal flip, and negative indicates a vertical flip.
For batching path, the LIGHT_ANGLE can be used to directly specify the light angle for normal mapping, even when the final transform and extra matrix have been baked into vertex positions, so the same shader can be used for both.
Some cases were not handled properly for Polygon2D after making changes in common code to fix Line2D antialiasing. Added an option for drawing polygons to differentiate the two use cases.
Fixes#34568
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.
Polygon2D:
The property wasn't used anymore after switching from canvas_item_add_polygon() to canvas_item_add_triangle_array() for drawing.
Line2D:
Added the same property as for Polygon2D & fixed smooth line drawing to use indices correctly.
Fixes#26823
