- Rename OpenGL to GLES3 in the source code per community feedback.
- The renderer is still exposed as "OpenGL 3" to the user.
- Hide renderer selection dropdown until OpenGL support is more mature.
- The renderer can still be changed in the Project Settings or using
the `--rendering-driver opengl` command line argument.
- Remove commented out exporter code.
- Remove some OpenGL/DisplayServer-related debugging prints.
Soft shadows are relatively expensive to filter. However, with the
default blur factors, it's not needed to use too many samples
(unless PCSS-like shadows are used with a large size). Textures
and screen-space antialiasing can also be used to mask the noise
pattern effectively.
On a GeForce GTX 1080, going from Medium to Low for both shadow types
saves 0.2-0.4 ms of GPU time per frame in 2560×1440 resolution.
This can translate to significantly higher savings on lower-end GPUs.
Given how the shader works, this improves rendering performance
even if lights with shadows are never used.
This can be used to improve 3D shadow rendering quality at little
performance cost. Unlike the existing Hard setting which is limited
to variable shadow blur only, it works with both fixed blur and
variable blur.
This allows for finer control over 3D rendering resolution.
Supersampling can also be performed by setting a 3D rendering
resolution above 1.0, which is useful for offline rendering or
for very high-end GPUs.
This can be used as a shorthand for:
if OS.is_stdout_verbose():
print("...")
Unlike `print_debug()`, this works in release builds too and can
be toggled off in debug builds.
Browsers doesn't really like forcing the mix rate, e.g. Firefox does not
allow input (microphone) if the mix rate is not the default one, Chrom*
will exhibit worse performances, etc.
If enabled, key/touch/joystick events will be flushed just before every idle and physics frame.
Enabling this can greatly improve the responsiveness to input, specially in devices that need to run multiple physics frames per each idle frame, because of not being powerful enough to run at the target frame rate.
This will only work for platforms using input buffering (regardless event accumulation). Currenly, only Android does so, but could be implemented for iOS in an upcoming PR.
- Back to 1-based layer names to make it clearer in editor UI
- Layer bit accessors are renamed to layer value and 1-based too
- Uniform errors and documentation in render and physics
- Fix a few remaining collision_layer used in place of collision_mask
The project setting wasn't being used anywhere.
This also tweaks the property hints to denote that these properties
are only effective after a restart.
* Only apply final actions to attachments used in the last pass.
* Fixes to draw list final action (was using continue instead of read/drop).
* Profiling regions inside draw lists now properly throw errors.
* Ability to enable gpu profile printing from project settings. (used to debug).
This makes it clearer that this property is only about physics FPS,
not rendering FPS.
The `physics_fps` project setting was also renamed to
`physics_ticks_per_second` for consistency.
- Now able to display up to 32 layers in physics (still 20 for render)
- Adjustable grid size to fit available space in dock
- Expansion icon to display more layers vertically
- Layer numbers in cells to help with selection
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.
* Shadow quality settings now specialization constant.
* Decal and light projector filters can be set.
* Changing those settings forces re-creation of the pipelines.
These changes should help improve performance related to shadow mapping, and allows improving performance by sacrificing decal and light projector quality.
Updates rich_text_label so that the built-in documentation can be searched
Previously, it would only find the first result and would not select other results
Renames "_entered" functions to "_submitted"
* Works from RenderinServer
* Accurately tells when on or off-scren, its no longer approximate.
* VisibilityEnabler also simplified to use the process mode instead.
* RingBuffer had no reason to be in this context
* A single buffer is used that can grow as much as the game needs.
This should make thread loading entirely reliable.
Physics FPS above 1000 cause the whole project to slow down
and are not very practical in the first place (since no CPU currently
available can keep up).
* GIProbe is now VoxelGI
* BakedLightmap is now LightmapGI
As godot adds more ways to provide GI (as an example, SDFGI in 4.0), the different techniques (which have different pros/cons) need to be properly named to avoid confusion.
* Shader compilation is now cached. Subsequent loads take less than a millisecond.
* Improved game, editor and project manager startup time.
* Editor uses .godot/shader_cache to store shaders.
* Game uses user://shader_cache
* Project manager uses $config_dir/shader_cache
* Options to tweak shader caching in project settings.
* Editor path configuration moved from EditorSettings to new class, EditorPaths, so it can be available early on (before shaders are compiled).
* Reworked ShaderCompilerRD to ensure deterministic shader code creation (else shader may change and cache will be invalidated).
* Added shader compression with SMOLV: https://github.com/aras-p/smol-v
- Tweak the setting property hint to be more informative.
- Make the setting a "basic" setting so it appears when Advanced Settings
is disabled.
- Remove redundant orientation setting in the iOS export preset.
The project setting is now used (like on Android).
Projects upgrading from a previous version will have to set the
screen orientation again in the Project Settings if it wasn't set
to the default value ("landscape").
This also acts as a general-purpose "deselect" shortcut since pressing
it a second time will deselect text.
This is available both in the script editor and in TextEdit fields
in use, both in the editor and projects.
The Duplicate Line script editor shortcut was moved to Ctrl + Shift + D
since it conflicts with the new shortcut (Ctrl + D). The rationale for
doing so is that Duplicate Line is a less commonly used action, and
its behavior can be replicated by copying and pasting the current line
anyway. (With no selection active, the whole line will be copied.)
Port lawnjelly's dynamic BVH implementation from 3.x to be used in
both 2D and 3D broadphases.
Removed alternative broadphase implementations which are not meant to be
used anymore since they are much slower.
Includes changes in Rect2, Vector2, Vector3 that help with the template
implementation of the dynamic BVH by uniformizing the interface between
2D and 3D math.

This can be used to tell Godot to run an executable that will run Godot
rather than running Godot directly. This is useful to make Godot start
on the dedicated GPU when using a NVIDIA Optimus setup on Linux:
`prime-run %command%`
The `editor/run/main_run_args` setting declaration was moved to make it
visible in the ProjectSettings documentation.
This can be used during unit test suite runs to hide error and warning
messages.
Care should be taken when using this feature, as it can hide important
information if used wrongly.
Added an occlusion culling system with support for static occluder meshes.
It can be enabled via `Project Settings > Rendering > Occlusion Culling > Use Occlusion Culling`.
Occluders are defined via the new `Occluder3D` resource and instanced using the new
`OccluderInstance3D` node. The occluders can also be automatically baked from a
scene using the built-in editor plugin.
The first layer is now Layer 0 instead of Layer 1, and the last
layer is now Layer 19 instead of Layer 20.
This helps reference physics and render layers from scripts since
layers start from 0 there.
And fixups:
- Add missing bindings in RenderingServer
- Remove duplicate ArrayMesh enum bindings (they're in Mesh already)
- Remove redundant _unhandled_key_input binding in Control (it's in Node
already)

This code currently isn't compiled (and cannot compile).
We plan to re-add OpenGL ES-based renderer(s) in Godot 4.0 alongside Vulkan
(probably ES 3.0, possibly also a low-end ES 2.0), but the code will be quite
different so it's not relevant to keep this old Godot 3.2 code.
The `drivers/gles2` code from the `3.2` branch can be used as a reference for
a potential new implementation.
- Use the `.log` file extension (recognized on Windows out of the box)
to better hint that generated files are logs. Some editors provide
dedicated syntax highlighting for those files.
- Use an underscore to separate the basename from the date and
the date from the time in log filenames. This makes the filename
easier to read.
- Keep only 5 log files by default to decrease disk usage in case
messages are spammed.
- Makes all boolean setters/getters consistent.
- Fixes bug where `glow_hdr_bleed_scale` was not used.
- Split CameraEffects to their own source file.
- Reorder all Environment method and properties declarations,
definitions and bindings to be consistent with each other
and with the order of property bindings.
- Bind missing enum values added with SDFGI.
- Remove unused SDFGI enhance_ssr boolean.
- Sync doc changes after SDFGI merge and other misc changes.
Since it only accepts power-of-two values, exposing it as an enum
makes more sense. This also allows for adding property hints to indicate
the performance cost of each value.
This also improves property hints for MSAA and FXAA.
Also added an easier way to load native GLSL shaders.
Extras:
Had to fix no-cache for subresources in resource loader, it was not properly working, making shaders not properly reload.
Note:
The precommit hooks are broken because they don't seem to support enums from one class being used in another.
Feel free to fix this after merging this PR.
EngineDebugger is the new interface to access the debugger.
It tries to be as agnostic as possible on the data that various
subsystems can expose.
It allows 2 types of interactions:
- Profilers:
A subsystem can register a profiler, assigning it a unique name.
That name can be used to activate the profiler or add data to it.
The registered profiler can be composed of up to 3 functions:
- Toggle: called when the profiler is activated/deactivated.
- Add: called whenever data is added to the debugger
(via `EngineDebugger::profiler_add_frame_data`)
- Tick: called every frame (during idle), receives frame times.
- Captures: (Only relevant in remote debugger for now)
A subsystem can register a capture, assigning it a unique name.
When receiving a message, the remote debugger will check if it starts
with `[prefix]:` and call the associated capture with name `prefix`.
Port MultiplayerAPI, Servers, Scripts, Visual, Performance to the new
profiler system.
Port SceneDebugger and RemoteDebugger to the new capture system.
The LocalDebugger also uses the new profiler system for scripts
profiling.
Fix -Wunused-variable, -Wunused-but-set-variable and -Wswitch warnings
raised by GCC 8 and 9.
Fix -Wunused-function, -Wunused-private-field and
-Wtautological-constant-out-of-range-compare raised by Clang.
Fix MSVC 2019 warning C4804 (unsafe use of type 'bool' in comparison
operation).
GCC -Wcpp warnings/Clang -W#warnings (`#warning`) are no longer raising
errors and will thus not abort compilation with `werror=yes`.
Treat glslang headers are system headers to avoid raising warnings.
Re-enables us to build with `werror=yes` on Linux and macOS, thus
catching warnings that would be introduced by new code.
Fixes#36132.
Due to the port to Vulkan and complete redesign of the rendering backend,
the `drivers/gles3` code is no longer usable in this state and is not
planned to be ported to the new architecture.
The GLES2 backend is kept (while still disabled and non-working) as it
will eventually be ported to serve as the low-end renderer for Godot 4.0.
Some GLES3 features might be selectively ported to the updated GLES2
backend if there's a need for them, and extensions we can use for that.
So long, OpenGL driver bugs!
Lots of internal API changes and some docstrings were lost in the conversion.
I manually salvaged many of them but for all the rendering-related ones, an
additional pass is needed.
Added missing enum bindings in BaseMaterial3D and VisualServer.
We already removed it from the online docs with #35132.
Currently it can only be "Built-In Types" (Variant types) or "Core"
(everything else), which is of limited use.
We might also want to consider dropping it from `ClassDB` altogether
in Godot 4.0.
On iOS devices without a physical home button iOS
shows a home indicator instead. This is often in the
way of the UI or the game.
Added a project setting to disable hidden home indicator.
The default value is to hide the home indicator
See https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/23658#issuecomment-562706669
The method was implemented back when Dictionary.get(key, default) did not
exist, but now that it does we do not need a custom method in CharFXTransform.
It's a new feature in 3.2, so does not break compat with 3.1.x.
