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).
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.
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 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.
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.
* 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)
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.
* 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<>
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.
Windows export process:
Limit size of executable with embedded PCK to 4 GB.
Use "rcedit" before embedding PCK.
Capture and process "rcedit" errors.
Windows, Linux:
Add support for PCK loading from executable "pck" section.
* Resource that allows saving textures embedded in scenes or standalone.
* Supports only formats that are portable: Lossy, Lossles or BasisUniversal
This is something I wanted to add for a long time. I made it now because @fire
requires it for importing GLTF2 files with embedded textures, but also this
will allow saving Godot scenes as standalone binary files that will run
in all platforms (because textures will load everywhere).
This is ideal when you want to distribute individual standalone assets online
in games that can be built from Godot scenes.
The UDP method is now called `is_socket_connected` to limit confusion
with the actual host connection status which doesn't make sense in UDP.
The TCP method is completly dropped, use get_status instead.
The only one left is the WebSocketPeer one, which should be fine as is
for now.
