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.
The fade animation tended to give the editor a "sluggish" feel
when running at lower FPS (which is common in heavy 3D scenes),
so it's probably a good idea to remove it.
This also makes dimming less intense (50% instead of 60%).
The description is displayed as a tooltip when hovering the project
in the Project Manager. It can span multiple lines.
This partially addresses #8167.
- Use a "broken file" icon instead of a "folder" icon for missing
projects
- Fade out the project icon for missing projects
- Use transparent modulate for grayed out projects as it results in
better-looking text
- Disable the "Edit", "Run" and "Rename" buttons if at least
one missing project is selected
- Make double-clicking or pressing Enter do nothing when a missing
project is selected
- Change the "Open in FileSystem" tooltip accordingly for missing
projects
- Don't connect the "Open in FileSystem" pressed signal to make the
button ineffective for missing projects
- Name missing projects as "Missing Project" instead of
"Unnamed Project"
This incorporates many suggestions from #31342.
This also revises the search behavior to be simpler and more efficient:
- Searching will now search in both the project name and path. A project
will be displayed if either of these match the search term.
- If the search term contains a "/", the whole path will be used to match
the search term. Otherwise, only the last path component will be used.
Only a single checkbox is now exposed to control whether the editor
window should be dimmed when opening a popup. The main use case
for disabling it is picking colors from the editor window while
a popup is open.
If I download a template named KewlGame, we should not force the user to have to type that name in order to complete the installation process. The user can still rename it if they wish to but we should be providing a default value. This quality of life enhancement will improve the workflow for newcomers to Godot who typically attempt to install a template as their first action within the program.
The Project Manager will now infer a project name from the
project path if the name is empty or equal to the default value.
The project name will also be capitalized automatically.
This makes it clearer that the project manager window is busy
while it's quitting (which can take a while on slower PCs).
This also makes it feel more responsive to user input.
Due to the high number of commits in the Godot repository,
7-character hashes were starting to become occasionally ambiguous.
In contrast, 9-character hashes are currently unambiguous for
all commits.
Adds `FALLTHROUGH` macro to specify when a fallthrough is intentional.
Can be replaced by `[[fallthrough]]` if/when we switch to C++17.
The warning is now enabled by default for GCC on `extra` warnings level
(part of GCC's `-Wextra`). It's not enabled in Clang's `-Wextra` yet,
but we could enable it manually once we switch to C++11. There's no
equivalent feature in MSVC for now.
Fixes#26135.
When opening projects for edition through the project manager, the
following checks are now done:
1. If the config_version is lower than the one used by the current
engine version, users are asked if they want to convert to the new
format or abort editing. Fixes#20626.
2. If the config_version is higher than the expected one (project
from a more recent and incompatible engine version), projects are
grayed out and can't be edited. Fixes#18758.
When editing from the command line, the behaviour is unchanged:
projects in situation (1) are automatically converted, while projects
in situation (2) show an error message (made more explicit).
The "Run" option from the project manager was not changed, so it will
still run (1) projects without converting them, and fail running (2)
projects.
