RigidDynamicBody modes are replaced with several properties to make their
usage clearer:
-lock_rotation: disable body's rotation (instead of MODE_LOCKED)
-freeze: no gravity or forces (instead of MODE_STATIC and MODE_KINEMATIC)
-freeze_mode: Static (can be only teleported) or Kinematic (can be animated)
Also renamed MODE_DYNAMIC_LOCKED to MODE_DYNAMIC_LINEAR in the physics
servers.
MODE_DYNAMIC instead of MODE_RIGID
MODE_DYNAMIC_LOCKED instead of MODE_CHARACTER
No more special case for sleeping behavior for MODE_DYNAMIC_LOCKED
(MODE_CHARACTER was forcing the body not to sleep, which is redundant
with can_sleep and wasn't done in Bullet).
The code is based on the current version of thirdparty/vhacd and modified to use Godot's types and code style.
Additional changes:
- extended PagedAllocator to allow leaked objects
- applied patch from https://github.com/bulletphysics/bullet3/pull/3037
Helps a lot with soft bodies and generally useful to avoid shapes to go
through the ground in certain cases.
Added an option in ConcavePolygonShape to re-enable backface collision
on specific bodies if needed.
-Rendering server now uses a split RID allocate/initialize internally, this allows generating RIDs immediately but initialization to happen later on the proper thread (as rendering APIs generally requiere to call on the right thread).
-RenderingServerWrapMT is no more, multithreading is done in RenderingServerDefault.
-Some functions like texture or mesh creation, when renderer supports it, can register and return immediately (so no waiting for server API to flush, and saving staging and command buffer memory).
-3D physics server changed to be made multithread friendly.
-Added PhysicsServer3DWrapMT to use 3D physics server from multiple threads.
-Disablet Bullet (too much effort to make multithread friendly, this needs to be fixed eventually).
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 🎆
