* Works for binary and text files.
* Makes EditorQuickOpen work with custom resources again.
* Information is cached and easily accessible.
Properly fixes#66179. Supersedes #66215 and supersedes #62417
**WARNING**: This required breaking backwards binary compatibility (.res and .scn files). Files saved after this PR is merged will no longer open in any earlier versions of Godot.
* It was not a resource, hence it was not working to load it as such.
* Changed so, when opened in editor, a parse error will not fail load and the text will be kept.
* This should allow proper editing from within the code editor, including syntax checking and saving files as-is in text.
Partially addresses #66820.
The code editor still needs to be changed for this to work.
* Works for text, binary and imported resources
* Allows better clean up of duplicate files.
TODO (future PRs):
* Use this API for assigning new UIDs to copied files.
* Use this API for UID conflict on FS scanning (if more than one file has the same UID, the newer one(s) should get assigned a different UID).
As many open source projects have started doing it, we're removing the
current year from the copyright notice, so that we don't need to bump
it every year.
It seems like only the first year of publication is technically
relevant for copyright notices, and even that seems to be something
that many companies stopped listing altogether (in a version controlled
codebase, the commits are a much better source of date of publication
than a hardcoded copyright statement).
We also now list Godot Engine contributors first as we're collectively
the current maintainers of the project, and we clarify that the
"exclusive" copyright of the co-founders covers the timespan before
opensourcing (their further contributions are included as part of Godot
Engine contributors).
Also fixed "cf." Frenchism - it's meant as "refer to / see".
Implements basic ASTC support:
* Only 4x4 and 8x8 block sizes.
* Other block sizes are too complex to handle for Godot image compression handling. May be implemented sometime in the future.
The need for ASTC is mostly for the following use cases:
* Implement a high quality compression option for textures on mobile and M1 Apple hardware.
* For this, the 4x4 is sufficient, since it uses the same size as BPTC.
ASTC supports a lot of block sizes, but the benefit of supporting most of them is slim, while the implementation complexity in Godot is very high.
Supporting only 4x4 (and 8x8) solves the real problem, which is lack of a BPTC alternative on hardware where it's missing.
Note: This does not yet support encoding on import, an ASTC encoder will need to be added.
Non-exhaustive list of case-sensitive renames:
GDExtension -> GDNative
GDNATIVE -> GDEXTENSION
gdextension -> gdnative
ExtensionExtension ->Extension (for where there was GDNativeExtension)
EXTENSION_EXTENSION ->EXTENSION (for where there was GDNATIVE_EXTENSION)
gdnlib -> gdextension
gdn_interface -> gde_interface
gdni -> gde_interface
Add support for font weight and stretch selection when using system fonts.
Add function to get system fallback font from a font name, style, text, and language code.
Implement system font support for Android.
Use system fonts as a last resort fallback.
The methods returns a String, but the Variant was bound as a StringName.
We could alternatively change the method return type but that's a
breaking change which will requires code changes in other parts of the
engine.
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.
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.
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).
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.
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).
