* Most resource types now have unique identifiers.
* Applies to text, binary and imported resources.
* File formats reference both by text and UID (when available). UID always has priority.
* Resource UIDs are 64 bits for better compatibility with the engine.
* Can be represented and used textually, example `uuid://dapwmgsmnl28u`.
* A special binary cache file is used and exported, containing the mappings.
Example of how it looks:
```GDScript
[gd_scene load_steps=2 format=3 uid="uid://dw86wq31afig2"]
[ext_resource type="PackedScene" uid="uid://bt36ojelx8q6c" path="res://subscene.scn" id="1_t56hs"]
```
GDScript, shaders and other special resource files can't currently provide UIDs, but this should be doable with special keywords on the files.
This will be reserved for future PRs.
The function `_gen_shape_list` is using the resource `Res<Mesh>`, but during the import phase the resource used is instead `Ref<EditorSceneImporterMesh>`.
Note: the `Ref<EditorSceneImporterMesh>` is an intermediate resource, that will be used to create a `Res<Mesh>` at the end of the import process. `Ref<EditorSceneImporterMesh>` and `Ref<Mesh>` are not inheriting each other, so the internal cast done by `Ref<>` during the assignment, is always null:
```c++
Ref<EditorSceneImporterMesh> import_mesh(/* Assume it's initialized */);
CRASH_NOW(import_mesh.is_null());
Ref<Mesh> mesh = import_mesh;
CRASH_NOW(mesh.is_null()); // <--- Here we have a crash, since it's impossible perform the above cast, and the `mesh` is always null.
```
Here the full list of call to `_gen_shape_list`, where we can notice that a `Ref<EditorSceneImporterMesh>` is passed:
- https://github.com/AndreaCatania/godot/blob/master/editor/import/resource_importer_scene.cpp#L428
- https://github.com/AndreaCatania/godot/blob/master/editor/import/resource_importer_scene.cpp#L454-L458
- https://github.com/AndreaCatania/godot/blob/master/editor/import/resource_importer_scene.cpp#L512-L516
As you can notice, we always pass the following mesh: `Ref<EditorSceneImporterMesh> mesh = mi->get_mesh();`.
We already have the function `_pre_gen_shape_list` that executes the exact same job but using the correct type; Since there is no further usage of the function `_gen_shape_list` in the code base, I think it's just some leftover code, so I removed it entirely to use the proper function.
- Makes tips clearer and more consistent.
- Removes outdated "shift+v" that doesn't work
- Adds Ctrl+RMB for adding nodes at position
- Removes tip for non-existent Alt+Drag in 3D select tool
* Clean-up of node_3d_editor_plugin.{h,cpp}: removed unused code, fixed some bugs.
* Moved node_3d_editor_gizmos.{h,cpp} to editor/plugins.
* Added support for multiple gizmos per node. This means custom gizmos will no longer override the built-in ones and that multiple gizmos can be used in more complex nodes.
* Added support for handle IDs. When adding handles to a gizmo, an ID can be specified for each one, making it easier to work with gizmos that have a variable number of handles.
* Added support for subgizmos, selectable elements that can be transformed without needing a node of their own. By overriding _subgizmo_intersect_frustum() and/or _subgizmo_intersect_ray() gizmos can define which subgizmos should be selected on a region or click selection. Subgizmo transformations are applied using get/set/commit virtual methods, similar to how handles work.
The internal processing code only works for OS windows, since it takes
the mouse position relative to the window and not the viewport. Now we
make sure it's not called in single-window mode.
This pull request fixes an assortment of typos and improves conciseness in `Animation`, `Area2D`, `Array`, `ArrayMesh`, `Control`, `Directory`, `EditorPlugin`, `Engine`, and `OS`.
`localhost` was removed as it won't work out of the box. It can be added
by the user if they're working on the asset library itself.
This won't affect existing installations due to how the editor settings
are stored, but existing installations will keep working fine.
The various get_meta, set_meta, has_meta, get_meta_list, remove_meta
functions now uses StringName, allowing further optimizations via the
SNAME macro when used from C++ (this PR does not change the various
usage though).
* Friendlier with version control.
* Generates pseudo unique IDs, to minimize conflicts when merging, but still
user readable (so, not UUID).
* Eventually will also allow to have more precisely named sub-resources in
imported files.
* This will allow better reloading on changes (including resources already
loaded) as well as better keeping track of changes on the DCC.
* Keeps backward compatibility with the old formats.
* Binary and text format version incremented to mark breakage in forward
compatibility.
