- 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.
* 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!
* 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).
* Previous "virtual" classes (which can't be instantiated) are not corretly named "abstract".
* Added a new "virtual" category for classes, they can't be instantiated from the editor, but can be inherited from script and extensions.
* Converted a large amount of classes from "abstract" to "virtual" where it makes sense.
Most classes that make sense have been converted. Missing:
* Physics servers
* VideoStream
* Script* classes.
which will go in a separate PR due to the complexity involved.
This makes it easier to spot syntax errors when editing the
class reference. The schema is referenced locally so validation
can still work offline.
Each class XML's schema conformance is also checked on GitHub Actions.
It used to call `enet_host_service` until all events were consumed, but
that also meant constantly polling the connection leading to potentially
unbounded processing time.
It now only service the connection once, and instead consumes all the
retrieved events via `enet_host_check_events`.
It used to always send them reliably when transfer mode was unreliable
or ordered if the packet size was more then the enet host MTU (1400
bytes by default).
This commit also adds a warning when debug is enabled to explain the
effects of sending fragmented packets unreliably.
Removes _networking_ prefix from some methods and members, now that multiplayer has been largely moved out of Node and SceneTree and is seperated into its own set of classes.
Move multiplayer classes to "core/multiplayer" subdir.
Move the RPCConfig and enums (TransferMode, RPCMode) to a separate
file (multiplayer.h), and bind them to the global namespace.
Move the RPC handling code to its own class (RPCManager).
Renames "get_rpc_sender_id" to "get_remote_sender_id".
For the time being we don't support writing a description for those, preferring
having all details in the method's description.
Using self-closing tags saves half the lines, and prevents contributors from
thinking that they should write the argument or return documentation there.
Passing `0` to `enet_host_create` will allow the maximum amount of
channel supported by ENet. For some reasons, `connect_to_host` will
instead only create 1 channel when passed `0`.
This commit normalize the behaviour to always allocate the maximum
allowed channels when passing `0`.
Used by ENetMultiplayerPeer and WebSocketServer to generate network IDs,
and exposed to the user for p2p networks (e.g. WebRTCMultiplayerPeer)
and custom MultiplayerPeer implementations.
* Added a new macro SNAME() that constructs and caches a local stringname.
* Subsequent usages use the cached version.
* Since these use a global static variable, a second refcounter of static usages need to be kept for cleanup time.
* Replaced all theme usages by this new macro.
* Replace all signal emission usages by this new macro.
* Replace all call_deferred usages by this new macro.
This is part of ongoing work to optimize GUI and the editor.
From empirical testing, this seems to provide the best compression
compared to other compression algorithms when used in the
Multiplayer Bomber demo.
Other algorithms may provide better compression ratios for more
complex games, but some compression is probably better than
no compression.
Zstandard was also not very efficient in my testing, so I added
a note in the documentation.
* This PR adds the ability to disable classes when building.
* For now it's only possible to do this via command like:
`scons disable_classes=RayCast2D,Area3D`
* Eventually, a proper UI will be implemented to create a build config file to do this at large scale, as well as detect what is used in the project.
Setting `server_relay = false` prevents the server from letting clients
communicate with each other, but without this fix, the server would also
ignore broadcast packets.
With this change, the server still does not relay messages to other
clients, but will correctly process broadcast messages (and "exclusive"
messages) as if they were directed to just the server.
We've been using standard C library functions `memcpy`/`memset` for these since
2016 with 67f65f6639.
There was still the possibility for third-party platform ports to override the
definitions with a custom header, but this doesn't seem useful anymore.
