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 method never did anything in Godot since 3.0, since its code
was commented out. The last time the method had an implementation
was in Godot 2.1.x.
This can be used to restart a project with specific command line arguments
applied. This can work in tandem with `OS.get_cmdline_args()` to restart
with the same command line arguments as used to originally run the project.
Example use cases:
- Restart to apply an user setting change that requires a restart to work.
- Restart with a Godot command line argument to change the video driver,
audio driver, etc.
Implements the standard Unix double dash (--) commandline argument:
* Arguments after a double dash (--) are ignored by Godot and stored for the user.
* User can access them via `OS.get_cmdline_user_args()`
Example:
`godot.exe scene_to_run.tscn --fullscreen -- --start-level 2`
Adds the is_process_running function to the native OS class and exposes it to script.
This is implemented on Windows and Unix platforms. A stub is provided for other platforms that do not support this function.
Documentation is updated to reflect new API function.
This method can be used to get the CPU model name.
It can be used in conjunction with
`RenderingServer.get_video_adapter_name()` and
`RenderingServer.get_video_adapter_vendor()` for annotating benchmarks
and automatic graphics quality configuration.
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.
Always build with the GUI subsystem.
Redirect stdout and stderr output to the parent process console.
Use CreateProcessW for blocking `execute` calls with piped stdout and stderr (prevent console windows for popping up when used with the GUI subsystem build, and have more consistent behavior with `create_process`).
Add `open_console` argument to the `execute` and `create_process` to open a new console window.
Remove `interface/editor/hide_console_window` editor setting.
Remove `Toggle System Console` menu option.
Remove `set_console_visible` and `is_console_visible` functions.
- 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.
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.
This method extracts the 2 or 3-letter language code from `OS::get_locale()`,
making it easier for users to identify the "main" language code for users
that might have different OS locales due to different OS or region, but
should be matched to the same translation (e.g. "generic" Spanish).
Fixes#40703.
This is done by providing API access to app specific directories which don't have any limitations and allows us to bump the target sdk version to 30.
In addition, we're also bumping the min sdk version to 19 as version 18 is no longer supported by Google Play Services and only account of 0.3% of Android devices.
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.
This pull request fixes an assortment of typos and improves conciseness in `Animation`, `Area2D`, `Array`, `ArrayMesh`, `Control`, `Directory`, `EditorPlugin`, `Engine`, and `OS`.
This can be used by editor plugins and non-game applications to
store data in the correct directories according to the
XDG Base Directory specification.
Default missing keys to Unix time 0 (1970-01-01 at 00:00:00 UTC).
Abort if year <= 0, this is not supported by the current algorithm.
Prevents an infinite loop further down.
Fixes#49022.
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 to print thread IDs in logs. This can make it easier
to debug multi-threaded applications.

It was added in 3e20391bf6 but it doesn't seem
particularly useful, and it was only implemented for the custom splash branch
and not the default one, so it could return an uninitialized int.
The Haiku port now resides at:
https://github.com/godotengine/godot-haiku-platform
While we're happy to support as many Free and Open Source platforms as we can,
we need to put the main focus on the platforms that we can reasonably maintain,
and for Haiku we have been lacking maintainers ever since the port was first
merged in 2015.
The Haiku code has not been compiling and much less working at least since the
release of Godot 3.0, and while some attempts have been made at fixing things,
it's still not functional today in the `3.2` branch (and much less in `master`,
understandably).
Having it in an external repository should hopefully enable Haiku contributors
to fix issues in their own time, and possibly tag versions compatible with
past Godot releases once they are ready.
`OS.shell_open()` will pass on the path directly to the OS' shell
handler (which can handle file paths or URLs). It can't handle
Godot-specific paths, so these need to be converted with
`ProjectSettings.globalize_path()` first.
It was initially implemented in #5871 for Godot 3.0, but never really
completed or thoroughly tested for most platforms. It then stayed in
limbo and nobody seems really keen to finish it, so it's better to
remove it in 4.0, and re-add eventually (possibly with a different API)
if there's demand and an implementation confirmed working on all
platforms.
Closes#8770.
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!
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.
This makes it possible to know whether the window is focused
at a given time, without having to track the focus state manually
using `NOTIFICATION_WM_FOCUS_IN` and `NOTIFICATION_WM_FOCUS_OUT`.
This partially addresses #33928.
