When converting portal meshes during import, indices were not being taken into account, which could lead to incorrect estimation of the portal direction. This PR now copes with either indexed or non-indexed portal meshes.
Added a bug fix to cope with portals pointing almost directly straight up or down, which could cause problems with the lookat transform.
Added the ability for named portals to link to short room names (in addition to postfix room names).
The PVS mode enum had been declared using scope operator, which does not seem to work correctly from GDScript with the BIND_ENUM_CONSTANT macro.
This PR removes the scope operator in the declaration.
Fixed a bug in the complex PVS generation which was causing recursive loop.
Move some of the settings out of RoomManager into Project Settings.
Allow PVS generation method to be selected from Project Settings, and control PVS logging.
The checking for link room IDs was checking for less than size(), but was not correctly checking for -1,
and therefore reading outside the array range. This PR fixes this.
Portal autolinking was previously agnostic to room priorities, which meant that portals would link to the first room they found (often outside rooms). This PR fixes this by making the autolinking priority aware, and will preferentially link to internal rooms.
Fixes a bug whereby it read from the primary PVS in the gameplay monitor, using the size from the secondary PVS. This would read out of bounds and crash.
Removed debug code to update the gameplay monitor from the preview camera - this is no longer required.
Temporarily revert to the simple PVS generation method, because I've noticed a bug in the complex version, and the simple version is safer while I fix this.
Calling rooms_set_active with TOOLS_ENABLED from a running project resulted in a crash because the Spatial Editor is not available. Wrapped it in an is_editor_hint.
In response to user demand, the naming convention for importing levels from blender etc is changed from prefixes `Room_` and `Portal_` to postfixes `-room`, `-roomgroup`, `-portal`.
The use of special prefixes is only actually required during the import phase - the first conversion of rooms, roomgroups, and portals from Spatials and MeshInstances (based on the workflow of importing from blender).
Once converted to the native Godot nodes there is no longer a need for the naming requirements.
This PR removes the requirements except for the import. Manual portal linking after the initial conversion is now done exclusively using the `linked_room` nodepath property of the Portal.
This PR makes the 'convert rooms' button permanently on the toolbar and accessible whichever node is selected, so you can convert rooms without having to select the RoomManager first.
It also adds a togglable item 'view portal culling' to the 'View' menu which is a simple way of setting the RoomManager 'active' setting without the RoomManager being the selected node.
Both of these have keyboard shortcuts, which should make it much faster to reconvert rooms and edit.
In addition there the string in the 'Perspective' Listbox is modified to show [portals active] when portal culling is operational, for visual feedback. This is updated when you change modes, and when the rooms are invalidated.
Due to a quirk in CSG Shapes, updating is usually deferred to the next frame. This is problematic as we need to read back the geometry on the first frame when converting levels.
This PR adds a function to CSGShape to force immediate updating (if dirty), and calls it during room conversion.
The default autoplace algorithm places instances in the highest priority Room. It became apparent that there are some situations in which users will want to override this and force placement in a Room from a particular RoomGroup, especially an "outside" RoomGroup.
This setting allows the user to specify a preference for Room priority. When set to 0, the setting is ignored and the highest priority Room is chosen.
Although explicit portals did a check to detect internal portals, this check was missing from autolinked portals. This meant they were incorrectly clipping the room bounds of the enclosing outer room.
This PR adds a check for internal rooms during the autolinking and sets the internal flag where needed.
The default portal margin is stored in the RoomManager. Previously this was propagated to Portals when the value was changed, and Portals each stored this default value.
This caused a bug during loading, if the RoomManager was loaded before Portals, the value was never propagated.
This PR makes the default margin a static value stored in the RoomManager, and the Portals now read directly from the static value when required, and do not store locally. This gets around the problem.
Due to an oversight in the autoplace recursive search for static objects, static objects were getting added twice to the portal renderer, which meant they were being rendered twice, lowering performance.
This PR corrects this horrendous error.
Allows users to have the RoomManager as the roomlist.
Fixes a couple of bugs dealing with situations where users attempt to link Portals to Rooms outside the roomlist.
Adds a PortalEditorPlugin allowing you to flip individual portals.
In order to make level building easier, the system can now support STATIC and DYNAMIC objects in the roomlist that are not placed in rooms. The system will automatically place them in the appropriate room.
It turned out the new autolinking feature was linking portals AFTER the static meshes had been added to rooms in the PortalRenderer. This meant that large meshes weren't being sprawled across these portals. The fix involves doing the autolinking BEFORE adding the static meshes.
Fixes a bug in the warning for portals being in the wrong direction, they should have only been checkout for outgoing portals. This was resulting in erroneous warnings.
Also the room conversion logs are refined to be more compact and informative.
A warning icon is also added in the gizmo for portals where autolink fails.
