i have added the option to chose normal map for channel pack. this will force the to use red and green channels for the texture only. the option is added meaning it will not conflict with the existing settings.
i have made this change as a response to my own proposal
Bugsquad edit: Closesgodotengine/godot-proposals#3184
* New syntax is type safe.
* New syntax allows for type safe virtuals in native extensions.
* New syntax permits extremely fast calling.
Note: Everything was replaced where possible except for `_gui_input` `_input` and `_unhandled_input`.
These will require API rework on a separate PR as they work different than the rest of the functions.
Added a new method flag METHOD_FLAG_OBJECT_CORE, used internally. Allows to not dump the core virtuals like `_notification` to the json API, since each language will implement those as it is best fits.
Infinite inertia:
Not needed anymore, since it's now possible to set one-directional
collision layers in order for characters to ignore rigid bodies, while
rigid bodies still collide with characters.
Ray shapes:
They were introduced as a work around to allow constant speed on slopes,
which is now possible with the new property in CharacterBody instead.
The function `_gen_shape_list` is using the resource `Res<Mesh>`, but during the import phase the resource used is instead `Ref<EditorSceneImporterMesh>`.
Note: the `Ref<EditorSceneImporterMesh>` is an intermediate resource, that will be used to create a `Res<Mesh>` at the end of the import process. `Ref<EditorSceneImporterMesh>` and `Ref<Mesh>` are not inheriting each other, so the internal cast done by `Ref<>` during the assignment, is always null:
```c++
Ref<EditorSceneImporterMesh> import_mesh(/* Assume it's initialized */);
CRASH_NOW(import_mesh.is_null());
Ref<Mesh> mesh = import_mesh;
CRASH_NOW(mesh.is_null()); // <--- Here we have a crash, since it's impossible perform the above cast, and the `mesh` is always null.
```
Here the full list of call to `_gen_shape_list`, where we can notice that a `Ref<EditorSceneImporterMesh>` is passed:
- https://github.com/AndreaCatania/godot/blob/master/editor/import/resource_importer_scene.cpp#L428
- https://github.com/AndreaCatania/godot/blob/master/editor/import/resource_importer_scene.cpp#L454-L458
- https://github.com/AndreaCatania/godot/blob/master/editor/import/resource_importer_scene.cpp#L512-L516
As you can notice, we always pass the following mesh: `Ref<EditorSceneImporterMesh> mesh = mi->get_mesh();`.
We already have the function `_pre_gen_shape_list` that executes the exact same job but using the correct type; Since there is no further usage of the function `_gen_shape_list` in the code base, I think it's just some leftover code, so I removed it entirely to use the proper function.
* Added a new macro SNAME() that constructs and caches a local stringname.
* Subsequent usages use the cached version.
* Since these use a global static variable, a second refcounter of static usages need to be kept for cleanup time.
* Replaced all theme usages by this new macro.
* Replace all signal emission usages by this new macro.
* Replace all call_deferred usages by this new macro.
This is part of ongoing work to optimize GUI and the editor.
Clean: remove duplicate and interior vertices (uses Bullet algorithm)
Simplify: modify the geometry for further simplification (uses VHACD
algorithm)
In the editor, single convex hull now uses the clean option.
Added a new editor entry to create a simplified convex hull, can be
useful for creating convex hull from highly tessellated triangle meshes.
* Functions to convert to/from degrees are all gone. Conversion is done by the editor.
* Use PROPERTY_HINT_ANGLE instead of PROPERTY_HINT_RANGE to edit radian angles in degrees.
* Added possibility to add suffixes to range properties, use "min,max[,step][,suffix:<something>]" example "0,100,1,suffix:m"
* In general, can add suffixes for EditorSpinSlider
Not covered by this PR, will have to be addressed by future ones:
* Ability to switch radians/degrees in the inspector for angle properties (if actually wanted).
* Animations previously made will most likely break, need to add a way to make old ones compatible.
* Only added a "px" suffix to 2D position and a "m" one to 3D position, someone needs to go through the rest of the engine and add all remaining suffixes.
* Likely also need to track down usage of EditorSpinSlider outside properties to add suffixes to it too.
Renames get_parent_spatial() to get_parent_node3d() and changes its
implementation. Before it was not returning a correct pointer if the
node wasn't added to a SceneTree. Now it uses the same implementation as
CanvasItem, which will be correct even for nodes outside a SceneTree.
This can be used to invert a normal map's direction.
The "Invert" import option is no longer useful in Godot 4.0 since
it uses height maps instead of depth maps in StandardMaterial3D.
This closes https://github.com/godotengine/godot-proposals/issues/785.
