Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!
2020 has been a tough year for most of us personally, but a good year for
Godot development nonetheless with a huge amount of work done towards Godot
4.0 and great improvements backported to the long-lived 3.2 branch.
We've had close to 400 contributors to engine code this year, authoring near
7,000 commit! (And that's only for the `master` branch and for the engine code,
there's a lot more when counting docs, demos and other first-party repos.)
Here's to a great year 2021 for all Godot users 🎆
(cherry picked from commit b5334d14f7)
Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!
We're starting a new decade with a well-established, non-profit, free
and open source game engine, and tons of further improvements in the
pipeline from hundreds of contributors.
Godot will keep getting better, and we're looking forward to all the
games that the community will keep developing and releasing with it.
When moving KinematicBody2D from one scene to another and not freeing
the old scene, the first call to move_and_slide() in the new scene will
generate an error because KinematicBody2D keeps internaly a
RID on_floor_body of a body resource in the old scene which no more has
a space assigned.
To fix this, on_floor_body is set to empty RID in response to
NOTIFICATION_ENTER_TREE notification of KinematicBody2D and
KinematicBody. Also all other data related to move_and_slide() is reset:
floor, ceiling, wall flags, colliders vector, floor_velocity.
This fixes#31416.
With this change finally one can use compound collisions (like those created
by Gridmaps) without serious performance issues. The previous KinematicBody
code for Bullet was practically doing a whole bunch of unnecessary
calculations. Gridmaps with fairly large octant sizes (in my case 32) can get
up to 10000x speedup with this change (literally!). I expect the FPS demo to
get a fair speedup as well.
List of fixes and improvements:
- Fixed a general bug in move_and_slide that affects both GodotPhysics and
Bullet, where ray shapes would be ignored unless the stop_on_slope parameter
is disabled. Not sure where that came from, but looking at the 2D physics
code it was obvious there's a difference.
- Enabled the dynamic AABB tree that Bullet uses to allow broadphase collision
tests against individual shapes of compound shapes. This is crucial to get
good performance with Gridmaps and in general improves the performance
whenever a KinematicBody collides with compound collision shapes.
- Added code to the broadphase collision detection code used by the Bullet
module for KinematicBodies to also do broadphase on the sub-shapes of
compound collision shapes. This is possible thanks to the dynamic AABB
tree that was previously disabled and it's the change that provides the
biggest performance boost.
- Now broadphase test is only done once per KinematicBody in Bullet instead of
once per each of its shapes which was completely unnecessary.
- Fixed the way how the ray separation results are populated in Bullet which
was completely broken previously, overwriting previous results and similar
non-sense.
- Fixed ray shapes for good now. Previously the margin set in the editor was
not respected at all, and the KinematicBody code for ray separation was
complete bogus, thus all previous attempts to fix it were mislead.
- Fixed an obvious bug also in GodotPhysics where an out-of-bounds index was
used in the ray result array.
There are a whole set of other problems with the KinematicBody code of Bullet
which cost performance and may cause unexpected behavior, but those are not
addressed in this change (need to keep it "simple").
Not sure whether this fixes any outstanding Github issues but I wouldn't be
surprised.
Adding angular and linear springs param to PhysicalBone joint type JOINT_TYPE_6DOF,
using new 6DOF feautres implemented in sdfgeoff/godot@e149327.
Typo correction lenear_equilibrium_point to linear_equilibrium_point.
- moved new infinite_inertia argument of move_and_slide and
move_and_slide_with_snap in KinematicBody and KinematicBody2D to the
end if not already there. This makes the order of arguments consistent
and should keep projects from 3.0 compatible as this argument did not
exist in 3.0. Docs updated accordingly.
- renamed max_bounces to max_slides for consistency. Docs updated
accordingly.
- the argument infinite_inertia in test_move is now optional, as it is
in every other movement related method. This closes#22829.

This allows more consistency in the manner we include core headers,
where previously there would be a mix of absolute, relative and
include path-dependent includes.
Using `misc/scripts/fix_headers.py` on all Godot files.
Some missing header guards were added, and the header inclusion order
was fixed in the Bullet module.
-Added new 3D stream player node
-Added ability for Area to capture sound from streams
-Added small features in physics to be able to properly guess distance to areas for sound
-Fixed 3D CollisionObject so shapes are added the same as in 2D, directly from children
-Fixed KinematicBody API to make it the same as 2D.
This version of the commit has the on_ceiling/on_wall fix without any
explaination of that code, since apparently it wasn't complicated enough.
As for the notes at the top of the function, they're still there.
move_and_slide is rather useful for character-controllers, etc.
It reduces the amount of boilerplate code.
Not having move_and_slide makes the APIs somewhat inconsistent.
(It might be nice to figure out a way to share the code between the two
move_and_slide implementations, but that's for someone who knows what
the policy is on shared code like that.)
I can show you the code
Pretty, with proper whitespace
Tell me, coder, now when did
You last write readable code?
I can open your eyes
Make you see your bad indent
Force you to respect the style
The core devs agreed upon
A whole new world
A new fantastic code format
A de facto standard
With some sugar
Enforced with clang-format
A whole new world
A dazzling style we all dreamed of
And when we read it through
It's crystal clear
That now we're in a whole new world of code
That year should bring the long-awaited OpenGL ES 3.0 compatible renderer
with state-of-the-art rendering techniques tuned to work as low as middle
end handheld devices - without compromising with the possibilities given
for higher end desktop games of course. Great times ahead for the Godot
community and the gamers that will play our games!
