The Godot API (gdnative_interface.h) allows methods to be registered on
extension classes with
`classdb_register_extension_class_method`
a `GDNativeExtensionClassMethodInfo` can be provided to this function
along with a `get_argument_info_func` which according to the comment
indicates that argument names should be definable here.
Unfortunately, setting the name field in the `GDNativePropertyInfo`
struct has no effect on the editor documentation, which continues to
display "_unnamed_arg" for each argument.
I discovered that `get_argument_info` is responsible for this as it
always overrides the `info.name`. I've added an if condition that will
only override the name when it is empty. I've tested this with my
GDExtension module and I can confirm that with this commit, the argument
name shows up in the builtin docs. eg. in Lookup Symbol.
Tweaks comments around the touched-up parts. Also tweaks spacing
Also adds some spacing in all cases of Variant::`reference()`. This is a special for consistency, because it ends up making the cases more readable.
Replace all TODO uses of `#warning` by proper TODO comments, and will open
matching bug reports to keep track of them.
We don't have a great track record fixing TODOs, but I'd wager we're even
worse for fixing these "TODO #warning" so we should prohibit this usage.
- Outright disable spammy warnings due to past or present GCC bugs:
* `-Wno-strict-overflow` for GCC 7.
* `-Wno-type-limits` for GCC before 11 (regressed in 9/10, might work in
earlier releases but at this stage we don't care).
* `-Wno-return-type` for GCC 12/13 (regression, still not fixed).
- Enable extra warnings conditionally when broken on earlier GCC:
* `-Wnoexcept` was removed due to an upstream regression in GCC 9, could
be re-enabled (but commented out for now as we actually have `-Wnoexcept`
warnings to fix.
* `-Wlogical-op` was broken on our variadic templates before GCC 11, now
seems fine.
When using high physics FPS (which is a requirement to minimize input
lag and improve precision in simulation racing games), a higher value
prevents the game from slowing down at low rendering FPS.
This can be done via an Engine property for run-time changes,
or a project setting for initial changes.
- Add leading and trailing spaces within dictionaries, as the `{}`
characters are hard to distinguish from `[]` on some fonts.
This is especially helpful with empty arrays and dictionaries.
Also fix broken `ERR_PRINT_ED` macro and simplify comments.
For the record these macros aren't used yet, they're intended to be used
where needed to surface messages in the toaster when useful to end users,
but we haven't done that codebase review yet.
This makes the setting easier to find, as research has found there are
numerous use cases to limiting FPS. This also improves documentation
related to the Engine property and project setting.
The project setting also works in projects exported in release mode,
so its location in the `debug/` section was misleading.
Android was the last platform to still attempt to disable RTTI (for binary
size), but both the Android editor and now the ICU library used by templates
need RTTI.
There could still be the possibility to support this for non-ICU template
builds (i.e. without the TextServerAdvanced module), but since this isn't one
of the build configurations we test regularly it's pretty risky to keep this
option only for that specific use case. And our code is already littered with
`dynamic_cast`s which weren't guarded with `!defined(NO_SAFE_CAST)`.
This eases transition from beta 1 to beta 2 so that users don't get a warning
about a missing feature. The names were just changed.
The old feature names are removed from project.godot when opening such a
project.
Implements https://github.com/godotengine/godot-proposals/issues/3371.
New `target` presets
====================
The `tools` option is removed and `target` changes to use three new presets,
which match the builds users are familiar with. These targets control the
default optimization level and enable editor-specific and debugging code:
- `editor`: Replaces `tools=yes target=release_debug`.
* Defines: `TOOLS_ENABLED`, `DEBUG_ENABLED`, `-O2`/`/O2`
- `template_debug`: Replaces `tools=no target=release_debug`.
* Defines: `DEBUG_ENABLED`, `-O2`/`/O2`
- `template_release`: Replaces `tools=no target=release`.
* Defines: `-O3`/`/O2`
New `dev_build` option
======================
The previous `target=debug` is now replaced by a separate `dev_build=yes`
option, which can be used in combination with either of the three targets,
and changes the following:
- `dev_build`: Defines `DEV_ENABLED`, disables optimization (`-O0`/`/0d`),
enables generating debug symbols, does not define `NDEBUG` so `assert()`
works in thirdparty libraries, adds a `.dev` suffix to the binary name.
Note: Unlike previously, `dev_build` defaults to off so that users who
compile Godot from source get an optimized and small build by default.
Engine contributors should now set `dev_build=yes` in their build scripts or
IDE configuration manually.
Changed binary names
====================
The name of generated binaries and object files are changed too, to follow
this format:
`godot.<platform>.<target>[.dev][.double].<arch>[.<extra_suffix>][.<ext>]`
For example:
- `godot.linuxbsd.editor.dev.arm64`
- `godot.windows.template_release.double.x86_64.mono.exe`
Be sure to update your links/scripts/IDE config accordingly.
More flexible `optimize` and `debug_symbols` options
====================================================
The optimization level and whether to generate debug symbols can be further
specified with the `optimize` and `debug_symbols` options. So the default
values listed above for the various `target` and `dev_build` combinations
are indicative and can be replaced when compiling, e.g.:
`scons p=linuxbsd target=template_debug dev_build=yes optimize=debug`
will make a "debug" export template with dev-only code enabled, `-Og`
optimization level for GCC/Clang, and debug symbols. Perfect for debugging
complex crashes at runtime in an exported project.
A priori this doesn't appear to be an actual bug, but a known consequence of
using UBSAN. We silence this one to still have the possibility to get more
warnings raised by UBSAN, in case they are useful.
Works around and closes#66343.
- `_DEBUG` is MSVC specific so it didn't make much sense to define for
Android and iOS builds.
- iOS was the only platform to define `DEBUG`. We don't use it anywhere
outside thirdparty code, which we usually don't intend to debug, so it
seems better to be consistent with other platforms.
- Consistently define `NDEBUG` to disable assert behavior in both `release`
and `release_debug` targets. This used to be set for `release` for all
platforms, and `release_debug` for Android and iOS only.
- Due to the above, I removed the only use we made of `assert()` in Godot
code, which was only implemented for Unix anyway, should have been
`DEV_ENABLED`, and is in PoolAllocator which we don't actually use.
- The denoise and recast modules keep defining `NDEBUG` even for the `debug`
target as we don't want OIDN and Embree asserting all over the place.
Not sure why I didn't get those before, it may be due to upstream
changes (12.2.1 is a moving target, it's basically 12.3-dev), or simply
rebuilding Godot from scratch with different options.
When going from version 14 to 15 it would introduce a tiny change in
`websocket_macros.h` just before the comment re-enabling clang-format,
but this can be solved by just letting it do its work.
Bonus cosmetic change in `math_fieldwise.cpp` where clang-format isn't
used, and bump recommended versions for pre-commit hook to [13; 15].
Putting data results in writing the compressed/decompressed output into
a RingBuffer.
You can retrieve the content of the RingBuffer via get_data.
Support both gzip and deflate.
Exposed as read_string_from_stdin so it's clear it's not retrieving a
property.
The method is kept with the block parameter, but a note is added to the
docs specifying that is not implemented on any platform (should we just
remove it?).
Removes separate `Command` key (use `Meta` instead).
Adds an event flag to automatically remap `Command` <-> `Control` (cannot be set alongside `Control` or `Meta`).
This makes the files ended in ".json" be treated as Godot resources.
This solves two problems:
* Avoid extensions to implement their own handling, which results in conflicts (all must use this one).
* Allow code to still work opening it as a file (since it will not be imported).
The `__ARM_ARCH_7A__` and `__ARM_ARCH_7S__` are not enough, since they
do not cover e.g. `__ARM_ARCH_8A__` in 32 bit mode, so instead of trying
to cover any possible ARM version that can work in 32 bit mode, we
can replace it with the `__arm__` macro which is defined for arm32 only
(arm64 uses `__aarch64__`).
"less" should be used for quantity, rather than "lesser".
Existing scripts that use `or_lesser` in `_get_property_list()`
will need to be updated to account for this change.
EditorExportPlugin adds a set of callbacks to allow customizing scenes, resources or subresources in all files exported:
* Can take scene files, resource files and subresources in all of them.
* Uses a cache for the converted files if nothing changes, so this work only happens if a file is modified.
* Uses hashing to differentiate export configuration caches.
* Removed the previous conversion code to binary, as this one uses existing stuff.
This API is useful in several scenarios:
* Needed by the "server" export platform to get rid of textures, meshes, audio, etc.
* Needed by text to binary converters.
* Needed by eventual optimizations such as shader precompiling on export, mesh merging and optimization, etc.
This is a draft, feedback is very welcome.
- Use different syntax for object printing to avoid confusion with arrays.
- Print null as `<null>` to avoid confusion with a string `"null"`.
- Display `<empty>` in editor resource pickers to avoid confusion
with array-based properties.
Also fix:
- Geometry3D::get_closest_distance_between_segments() returning
incorrect values.
- Test for Geometry3D::get_closest_distance_between_segments() testing for
an incorrect value.
These methods exist since the dawn of (open source) Godot and have hardly
been updated over time, so they barely work and I'm fairly sure nobody is
using them. (See #46505 for details.)
While some of the functionality they aimed to provide might be useful for
optimization work and introspection, this should likely be redesigned from
scratch with a cleaner and more modern interface (e.g. exposed via the
Performance singleton, or ResourceLoader, and a better API overall).
allows non-const T* to be taken from const Ref<T> directly
instead of using hacky workarounds such as copying it to
another Ref
this fixes methods with const Ref<T>& arguments not being
able to access non-const methods on contained T
In extension_api.json we want to expose properties that are meant to
access a class attribute from script (i.e. `Node2D.position`).
However property system is also used in Godot to declare attributes
accessible from the node editor:
- property with '/' in their name
- property array with NIL type that represents an array
_has_property_default_value is a required virtual
for ScriptExtension but it was not bound, and could
therefore not be implemented
this made it impossible to implement a ScriptExtension
that runs
This adds support for benchmarking engine startup (and editor startup if used).
The goal is to use this in the benchmarking server to track improvements and changes to engine, editor, importer and scene loading startup times.
The new default window size is tuned to:
- Have a 16:9 aspect ratio,
- Have both dimensions divisible by 8 to better play along with
video recording,
- Be displayable correctly in windowed mode on a 1366×768 display
(tested on Windows 10 with default settings).
This breaks compatibility with projects that didn't change the
window size from the default value (or that kept one of the values
to its default).
This method never did anything in Godot since 3.0, since its code
was commented out. The last time the method had an implementation
was in Godot 2.1.x.
This was a regression from 4469144891
The callback should be called, not only be called when the refcount
reaches 0. For example, the C# callback needs to know when the
refcount reaches 1, in order to swap to a weak GC handle.
Adds a FramebufferCache singletion that operates the same way as UniformSetCache.
Allows creating framebuffers on the fly (and keep them cached if re-requested) such as:
```C++
RID fb = FramebufferCache::get_singleton()->get_cache(texture1,texture2);
```
This is not enabled by default in the core version for performance reasons,
as Vector/CowData are used in critical code paths where not zero'ing memory
which is going to be set later on can be important.
But for bindings / the scripting API, we make zero the new items by default
(which already happened for built types like Vector3, etc., but not for
trivial types like int, float).
Fixes#43033.

The function tried to rearrange properties but that lead to problems with duplication or deleted properties. Implemented the logic that that function did inside the get_property_list both for tool scripts and non-tool scripts.
- Add `positive_only` property hint to disallow using negative presets.
These values are clamped in several places in the editor already,
so this avoids displaying presets that don't work.
- Move the Zero preset at the end of the positive list to match
the custom property editor. It's also used less often than Linear,
Ease In and Ease Out.
- Rename presets to be consistent between the easing property editor
and custom property editor.
- Remove unused `inout` hint which was redundant since it was already
the default.
This can be used to restart a project with specific command line arguments
applied. This can work in tandem with `OS.get_cmdline_args()` to restart
with the same command line arguments as used to originally run the project.
Example use cases:
- Restart to apply an user setting change that requires a restart to work.
- Restart with a Godot command line argument to change the video driver,
audio driver, etc.
Implements the standard Unix double dash (--) commandline argument:
* Arguments after a double dash (--) are ignored by Godot and stored for the user.
* User can access them via `OS.get_cmdline_user_args()`
Example:
`godot.exe scene_to_run.tscn --fullscreen -- --start-level 2`
This was removed in #63481, and we confirmed that it's better like this,
but we add back the possibility to strip CR as an option, to optionally
restore the previous behavior.
For performance this is done directly in `String::parse_utf8`.
Also fixes Android `FileAccess::get_line()` as this one _should_ strip CR.
Supersedes #63717.
This quits the project when an animation is done playing in the
given AnimationPlayer, but only in Movie Maker mode.
When this happens, a message is printed with the absolute path of the
AnimationPlayer node that caused the engine to quit.
This can be used to create videos that stop at a specified time
without having to write any script.
A report is now also printed to the console when the video is done
recording (as long as the engine was exited properly).
This report is unfortunately not always visible in the editor's
Output panel, as it's printed too late.
A method was also added to get the path to the output file from the
scripting API.
- Accelerate common path used to check the storage scope for a given path
- Update the logic for the `get_as_text()` method - previous logic loads the content of a text file one byte at a time
- RPC configurations are now dictionaries.
- Script.get_rpc_methods renamed to Script.get_rpc_config.
- Node.rpc[_id] and Callable.rpc now return an Error.
- Refactor MultiplayerAPI to allow extension.
- New MultiplayerAPI.rpc method with Array argument (for scripts).
- Move the default MultiplayerAPI implementation to a module.
On #43310, class reference was automatically updated from source,
causing xml documentation to disagree with parameter naming
description on Plane.intersects_segment().
Weirdly, it also changed the parameter for Plane.is_point_over()
from point to plane, when only the first has sense (and it is
defined on math.Plane as "const Vector3 &p_point"). Manual
mistake?
* Update begin/end to from/to on Plane.intersects_segment(...)
docs description to match source
* Update Plane bindings to use points instread of plane for
is_point_over(...)
* Change Plane.is_point_over(plane) to Plane.is_point_over(point)
AND its description on docs
Fixesgodotengine/godot-docs#5976
Implement built-in classes Vector4, Vector4i and Projection.
* Two versions of Vector4 (float and integer).
* A Projection class, which is a 4x4 matrix specialized in projection types.
These types have been requested for a long time, but given they were very corner case they were not added before.
Because in Godot 4, reimplementing parts of the rendering engine is now possible, access to these types (heavily used by the rendering code) becomes a necessity.
**Q**: Why Projection and not Matrix4?
**A**: Godot does not use Matrix2, Matrix3, Matrix4x3, etc. naming convention because, within the engine, these types always have a *purpose*. As such, Godot names them: Transform2D, Transform3D or Basis. In this case, this 4x4 matrix is _always_ used as a _Projection_, hence the naming.
This PR implements a worked thread pool. It uses a fixed amount of threads in a pool and allows scheduling tasks
that can be run on threads (and then waited for). It satisfies the following use cases:
* HTML5 thread count is fixed (and similar restrictions are known in consoles) so we need to reuse threads.
* Thread spawning is slow in general, so reusing threads is faster anyway.
* This implementation supports recursive waiting for tasks, making it less prone to deadlocks if threads from the pool also run tasks.
After this is approved and merged, subsequent PRs will be needed to replace the ThreadWorkPool usage by this class.
This PR is a continuation of #50381 (which was implemented exactly a year ago!)
* Add a visual interface to select which classes should not be built into Godot (well, they are built if something else uses them, but if not used the optimizer will remove them out).
* Add a detection system to scan the project and figure out the actual classes used.
* Added the ability for SCons to load build profiles.
Obligatory Screen:
A simple test with a couple of nodes in the scene resulted in a 25% reduction for the final binary size
TODO:
* Script languages need to implement used class detection (left for another PR).
* Options to disable servers or server functionalities (like 2D or 3D physics, navigation, etc). Are missing, that should also greatly aid in reducing binary size.
* Options to disable some modules would be desired.
* More options to disable drivers (OpenGL, Vulkan, etc) would be desired.
In general this PR is a starting point for more contributors to improve and enhance this functionality.
Read/write ops for this implementation are done through the java layer via jni, and so for good performance, it's key to avoid numerous repeated small read/write ops due the jni overhead.
The alternative is to allocate a (conversatively-sized) large buffer to reduce the number of read/write ops over the jni boundary.
MultiplayerSynchronizers can now be configured to limit their visibility
to a subset of the connected peers, if the synchronized node was spawned
by a MultiplayerSpawner (either automatically or via custom spawn) the
given node will also be despawned remotely.
The replication system doesn't have the logic to handle subspawn
directly, but it is possible to handle them appropriately by manually
updating the visibility of the parent before changing the one of the
nested spawns via the "update_visibility" function.
The visibility of each MultiplayerSynchronizer can be controlled by
adding or remove filters via "[add|remove]_visibility_filter(callable)".
To further optimize the network code, visibility filters can be configured
to be automatically updated during idle or physics frame, or set to always
require manual update (via the "update_visibility" function).
This was done by refactoring directory and file access handling for the Android platform so that any general filesystem access type go through the Android layer.
This allows us to validate whether the access is unrestricted, or whether it falls under scoped storage and thus act appropriately.
For this to work safely (user not call queue_free or something in the expression), a const call mode was added to Object and Variant (and optionally Script).
This mode ensures only const functions can be called, making it safe to use from the editor.

When a type is shared (i.e. passed by reference) it doesn't need to be
called in a setter chain (e.g. `a.b.c = 0`) since it will be updated in
place.
This commit adds an instruction that jumps when the value is shared so
it can be used to skip those cases and avoid redundant calls of setters.
It also solves issues when assigning to sub-properties of read-only
properties.
This PR implements:
* A new hint: PROPERTY_HINT_NODE_TYPE for variant type OBJECT, which can take specific node types as hint string.
* The editor will show it as a node path, but will set it as a pointer to a node from the current scene if you select a path.
* When scene is saved, the node path is saved, then restored as a pointer.
NOTE: This is a proof of concept and this approach will most likely not work. The reason if that, if the node referenced is deleted, then when trying to edit this the node will become invalid.
Potential workarounds: Since this uses the Variant API, it should obtain the pointer from the Variant object ID. Yet, this would either only really work in GDScript or it would need to be implemented with workarounds in every language.
Alternative ways to make this work: Nodes could export an additional property with a node path (like for which_node, it could be which_node_path).
Another alternative: Path editing could happen as a hidden metadata (ignoring the pointer).
* Ensures thread safety when resources are destroyed.
* Simplified API by always forcing `ResourceCache::get_ref`, which needs less hacks and is fully thread safe.
* Removed RWLock for resources because its not possible to use for the new logic. Should not be a problem.
Supersedes #57533
* Allows running the game in "movie writer" mode.
* It ensures entirely stable framerate, so your run can be saved stable and with proper sound (which is impossible if your CPU/GPU can't sustain doing this in real-time).
* If disabling vsync, it can save movies faster than the game is run, but if you want to control the interaction it can get difficult.
* Implements a simple, default MJPEG writer.
This new features has two main use cases, which have high demand:
* Saving game videos in high quality and ensuring the frame rate is *completely* stable, always.
* Using Godot as a tool to make movies and animations (which is ideal if you want interaction, or creating them procedurally. No other software is as good for this).
**Note**: This feature **IS NOT** for capturing real-time footage. Use something like OBS, SimpleScreenRecorder or FRAPS to achieve that, as they do a much better job at intercepting the compositor than Godot can probably do using Vulkan or OpenGL natively. If your game runs near real-time when capturing, you can still use this feature but it will play no sound (sound will be saved directly).
Usage:
$ godot --write-movie movie.avi [scene_file.tscn]
Missing:
* Options for configuring video writing via GLOBAL_DEF
* UI Menu for launching with this mode from the editor.
* Add to list of command line options.
* Add a feature tag to override configurations when movie writing (fantastic for saving videos with highest quality settings).
Clean up and do fixes to hash functions and newly introduced murmur3 hashes in #61934
* Clean up usage of murmur3
* Fixed usages of binary murmur3 on floats (this is invalid)
* Changed DJB2 to use xor (which seems to be better)
This is done to prevent reducing texture quality when it doesn't save
much video memory, especially for pixel art.
The size threshold can be adjusted in the project settings.
To get the previous behavior where textures detected to be used in 3D
had their compression mode always set to VRAM, set this to the lowest value
(16).
I had an error while importing my GLB file from 32-bit precision
floating point,
I guess this was forgotten while implementing 64-bit precision floating
point.
I'm not sure if there's any other left to do though.
Initial TAA support based on the implementation in Spartan Engine.
Motion vectors are correctly generated for camera and mesh movement, but there is no support for other things like particles or skeleton deformations.
* Replace case-by-case extraction with PNAME & GNAME
* Fix group handling when group hint begins with property name
* Exclude properties that are PROPERTY_USAGE_NO_EDITOR
* Extract missing ADD_ARRAY*, ADD_SUBGROUP* macros
Arrays can be set as read-only and thus cannot be modified. Assigning
the array will create an editable copy.
Similar to is already done to read-only dictionaries.
* Add ability to set them read only.
* If read-only, it can't be modified.
This is added in order to optionally make const dictionaries (and eventually arrays) properly read-only in GDScript.
* Map is unnecessary and inefficient in almost every case.
* Replaced by the new HashMap.
* Renamed Map to RBMap and Set to RBSet for cases that still make sense
(order matters) but use is discouraged.
There were very few cases where replacing by HashMap was undesired because
keeping the key order was intended.
I tried to keep those (as RBMap) as much as possible, but might have missed
some. Review appreciated!
Adds a new, cleaned up, HashMap implementation.
* Uses Robin Hood Hashing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_table#Robin_Hood_hashing).
* Keeps elements in a double linked list for simpler, ordered, iteration.
* Allows keeping iterators for later use in removal (Unlike Map<>, it does not do much
for performance vs keeping the key, but helps replace old code).
* Uses a more modern C++ iterator API, deprecates the old one.
* Supports custom allocator (in case there is a wish to use a paged one).
This class aims to unify all the associative template usage and replace it by this one:
* Map<> (whereas key order does not matter, which is 99% of cases)
* HashMap<>
* OrderedHashMap<>
* OAHashMap<>
Allow AStar2D/AStar3D zero point weight.
Limit was set to 1 which seemed like an arbitrary value as lower values down to zero can be useful for common gameplay navigation elements like teleports.
* Changed to use the same stages as extensions.
* Makes the initialization more coherent, helping solve problems due to lack of stages.
* Makes it easier to port between module and extension.
* removed the DRIVER initialization level (no longer needed).
Adds the is_process_running function to the native OS class and exposes it to script.
This is implemented on Windows and Unix platforms. A stub is provided for other platforms that do not support this function.
Documentation is updated to reflect new API function.
Implemented by request of @neikeq to advance in the GDExtension version of Mono.
* If a Resource type is missing upon load, it will be remembered together with its data (Unless manually overriden).
* If a Node type is missing upon load, it will be also be remembered together with its data (unless deleted).
This feature makes working with GDExtension much easier, as it ensures that missing types no longer cause data loss.
These typedefs don't save much typing compared to the full `Ref<Resource>`
and `Ref<RefCounted>`, yet they sometimes introduce confusion among
new contributors.
Didn't commit all the changes where it wants to initialize a struct
with `{}`. Should be reviewed in a separate PR.
Option `IgnoreArrays` enabled for now to be conservative, can be
disabled to see if it proposes more useful changes.
Also fixed manually a handful of other missing initializations / moved
some from constructors.
Implements https://github.com/godotengine/godot-proposals/issues/4096
* Nodes can be marked unique to the scene in the editor (or via code).
* Unique nodes can be accessed via the **%** prefix at any point in the path. From that point in the path (depending on whether the scene of the path is), the unique node will be fetched.
* Implementation is very optimal, as these nodes are cached.
Windows export process:
