It has a big impact on 2D and text rendering performance (cf. #24466)
so the solution seems worse than the bug it aims to work around.
It's now opt-in via "rendering/quality/2d/gles2_use_nvidia_rect_flicker_workaround"
for those who need it and have a simple enough game for the performance
drop not to be an issue.
Fixes#24466.
Previously, an error message would get printed to the console, but this
is problematic in e.g. Windows where a console is not displayed. In the
case of a missing .pck file, the binary would just silently fail. Now,
it shows an alert.
Fixes#21994.

Image::load is now issuing warnings (since ef50957) to prevent users
from using it to load images at runtime which would be included in
their exported game.
So we now use ImageLoader explicitly instead for the custom-handled
cases in Main.
Fixes#21072, supersedes #22321.
Note, it will only used by the Editor, not when running the game.
This allows package maintainer to compile Godot to use system installed
certificates when accessing the AssetLib.
This allows more consistency in the manner we include core headers,
where previously there would be a mix of absolute, relative and
include path-dependent includes.
Previous fix in e8e06b2 worked in most cases but not if you run e.g.
'godot -', where the '-' argument would mean that 'project_manager'
is false and yet that's what will be opened eventually.
This adds a static is_viable() method to all rasterizers which has to be
called before initializing the rasterizer. This allows us to check what
rasterizer to use in OS::initialize together with the GL context
initialization.
This commit also adds a new project setting
"rendering/quality/driver/driver_fallback" which allows the creator of a
project to specify whether or not fallback to GLES2 is allowed. This
setting is ignored for the editor so the editor will always open even if
the project itself cannot run. This will hopefully reduce confusion for
users downloading projects from the internet.
We also no longer crash when GLES3 is not functioning on a platform.
This fixes#15324
-Project/Editor settings now show tooltips properly
-Settings thar require restart now will show a restart warning
-Video driver is now visible all the time, can be changed easily
-Added function to request current video driver
The rasterisers (both GLES3 and GLES2) were calculating their own frame delta time
This fix lets the rasterizers get the frame delta through the draw call
That way any regulations to the frame step from the main script will not cause particle systems to process at a different step than the rest of the Engine.
Remove unused rasterizer storage variable
frame.prev_tick variable were not used anywhere and has been removed
- Adds q/quit option to console debugging
- Adds options (variable_prefix)
- Breaks into debugger with Ctrl-C in local debug mode (Unix/Windows)
- Added option to list all breakpoints
- Fixes add/remove breakpoint bug (invalid path parsing)
- Minor cleanup
- Tool scripts will be executed and can be accessed by plugins.
- Other script languages can implement add/remove_named_global_constant
to make use of this functionality.
Now generating mouse events from touch is optional (on by default) and it's performed by `InputDefault` instead of having each OS abstraction doing it. (*)
The translation algorithm waits for a touch index to be pressed and tracks it translating its events to mouse events until it is raised, while ignoring other pointers.
Furthermore, to avoid an stuck "touch mouse", since not all platforms may report touches raised when the window is unfocused, it checks if touches are still down by the time it's focused again and if so it resets the state of the emulated mouse.
*: In the case of Windows, since it already provides touch-to-mouse translation by itself, "echo" mouse events are filtered out to have it working like the rest.
On X11 a little hack has been needed to avoid a case of a spurious mouse motion event that is generated during touch interaction.
Plus: Improve/fix tracking of current mouse position.
** Summary of changes to settings: **
- `display/window/handheld/emulate_touchscreen` becomes `input/pointing_devices/emulate_touch_from_mouse`
- New setting: `input/pointing_devices/emulate_mouse_from_touch`
Add new class _TimerSync to manage timestep calculations.
The new class handles the decisions about simulation progression
previously handled by main::iteration(). It is fed the current timer
ticks and determines how many physics updates are to be run and what
the delta argument to the _process() functions should be.
The new class tries to keep the number of physics updates per frame as
constant as possible from frame to frame. Ideally, it would be N steps
every render frame, but even with perfectly regular rendering, the
general case is that N or N+1 steps are required per frame, for some
fixed N. The best guess for N is stored in typical_physics_steps.
When determining the number of steps to take, no restrictions are
imposed between the choice of typical_physics_steps and
typical_physics_steps+1 steps. Should more or less steps than that be
required, the accumulated remaining time (as before, stored in
time_accum) needs to surpass its boundaries by some minimal threshold.
Once surpassed, typical_physics_steps is updated to allow the new step
count for future updates.
Care is taken that the modified calculation of the number of physics
steps is not observable from game code that only checks the delta
parameters to the _process and _physics_process functions; in addition
to modifying the number of steps, the _process argument is modified as
well to stay in expected bounds. Extra care is taken that the accumulated
steps still sum up to roughly the real elapsed time, up to a maximum
tolerated difference.
To allow the hysteresis code to work correctly on higher refresh
monitors, the number of typical physics steps is not only recorded and
kept consistent for single render frames, but for groups of them.
Currently, up to 12 frames are grouped that way.
The engine parameter physics_jitter_fix controls both the maximum
tolerated difference between wall clock time and summed up _process
arguments and the threshold for changing typical_physics_steps. It is
given in units of the real physics frame slice 1/physics_fps. Set
physics_jitter_fix to 0 to disable the effects of the new code here.
It starts to be effective against the random physics jitter at around
0.02 to 0.05. at values greater than 1 it starts having ill effects on
the engine's ability to react sensibly to dropped frames and framerate
changes.
Works both for the editor and games.
Projects can still use "debug/settings/stdout/print_fps" to enable it
permanently. The --print-fps option takes precedence (so works even if
the project setting is disabled). That setting is also no longer redefined
on the fly based on the verbose flag, that was a mess.
After 3f8a4cc719 trying to run an
individual scene on a project without a main scene fails. We move the
check until after we've determined whether or not we're trying to run an
individual scene.
We also stop trying to show the project manager if any game pack is
found at all, unless the user explicitly asks for the project manager to
be shown.
The previous logic with VERSION_MKSTRING was a bit unwieldy, so there were
several places hardcoding their own variant of the version string, potentially
with bugs (e.g. forgetting the patch number when defined).
The new logic defines:
- VERSION_BRANCH, the main 'major.minor' version (e.g. 3.1)
- VERSION_NUMBER, which can be 'major.minor' or 'major.minor.patch',
depending on whether the latter is defined (e.g. 3.1.4)
- VERSION_FULL_CONFIG, which contains the version status (e.g. stable)
and the module-specific suffix (e.g. mono)
- VERSION_FULL_BUILD, same as above but with build/reference name
(e.g. official, custom_build, mageia, etc.)
Note: Slight change here, as the previous format had the build name
*before* the module-specific suffix; now it's after
- VERSION_FULL_NAME, same as before, so VERSION_FULL_BUILD prefixed
with "Godot v" for readability
Bugs fixed thanks to that:
- Export templates version matching now properly takes VERSION_PATCH
into account by relying on VERSION_FULL_CONFIG.
- ClassDB hash no longer takes the build name into account, but limits
itself to VERSION_FULL_CONFIG (build name is cosmetic, not relevant
for the API hash).
- Docs XML no longer hardcode the VERSION_STATUS, this was annoying.
- Small cleanup in Windows .rc file thanks to new macros.
The Project Manager should share the same settings as the editor most of the time.
The whole init stuff with Main::setup and Main::start needs a good cleanup though.
Fixes#15199.
The heuristic whether we're in the project manager inside GDMono
didn't work if the project manager was launched by not having any path
to run.
This is fixed now by making a Main::is_project_manager().
This is important for some GDNative bindings and probably for Mono. They
may keep references to audio objects which are freed when they are
unregistered. If AudioServer is already deleted at that point, it causes
segfaults.
Using `misc/scripts/fix_headers.py` on all Godot files.
Some missing header guards were added, and the header inclusion order
was fixed in the Bullet module.
If a scene is modified and a user closes the editor and selects the "Save
and exit" option in the modal dialog -- the editor crashes. This appears
to be a result of the message queue being memdeleted AFTER visual servers
have been destroyed. Remnant textures handled by the message queue throw a
NRE when their own ~Texture destructors reference the visual servers.
This fixes bugs: #12946 and #12813.
Setting the vsync in the main thread, after the rendering thread starts
and takes the OpenGL context fails, so we need to do that before.
Also, for some reason, the main thread cannot make current the context
anymore.
Fixes#13447
Removes the need for _MKSTR all over the place which has the drawback of
converting _MKSTR(UNKNOWN_DEFINE) to "UKNOWN_DEFINE" instead of throwing
a compilation error.
This makes the interfaces available, without implementation, in other
platforms and the editor, which facilitates documenting platform-exclusive
classes.
Platform-exclusive APIs must be set up in platform/<platform>/api/api.cpp.
Provide noop method-implementations where necessary.
Also setup and document the HTML5 platform's JavaScript singleton.
This field represents if the class is exposed to the scripting API.
The value is 'true' if the class was registered manually ('ClassDB::register_*class()'), otherwise it's false (registered on '_post_initialize').
- Added missing registration of classes that are meant to be exposed.
Previously logging logic was scattered over OS class implementations
with plenty of duplication. Major changes in this commit:
- Extracted logging logic into a separate Logger hierarchy. It allows
easy configuration of logging mechanism depending on compile-time or
run-time configuration.
- Implemented RotatedFileLogger which is usually used with StdLogger,
providing persistency of logs. It is often important to be able to
obtain logs of the game even in production to be able to understand
what happened prior to some problem. On mobile there previously was
no way to obtain the logs aside from having the device connected to
your machine.
- flush() is not performed in release mode for every logged line. It
is only performed for errors.
The changes include work done to ensure that GDNative apps and Nim
integration specifically can run on Android. The changes have been
tested on our WIP game, which uses godot-nim and depends on several
third-party .so libs, and Platformer demo to ensure nothing got broken.
- .so libraries are exported to lib/ folder in .apk, instead of assets/,
because that's where Android expects them to be and it resolves the
library name into "lib/<ABI>/<name>", where <ABI> is the ABI matching
the current device. So we establish the convention that Android .so
files in the project must be located in the folder corresponding to
the ABI they were compiled for.
- Godot callbacks (event handlers) are now called from the same thread
from which Main::iteration is called. It is also what Godot now
considers to be the main thread, because Main::setup is also called
from there. This makes threading on Android more consistent with
other platforms, making the code that depends on Thread::get_main_id
more portable (GDNative has such code).
- Sizes of GDNative API types have been fixed to work on 32-bit
platforms.
Currently we rely on some undefined behavior when Object->cast_to() gets
called with a Null pointer. This used to work fine with GCC < 6 but
newer versions of GCC remove all codepaths in which the this pointer is
Null. However, the non-static cast_to() was supposed to be null safe.
This patch makes cast_to() Null safe and removes the now redundant Null
checks where they existed.
It is explained in this article: https://www.viva64.com/en/b/0226/
