Frame deltas are currently measured by querying the OS timer each frame. This is subject to random error. Frame delta smoothing instead filters the delta read from the OS by replacing it with the refresh rate delta wherever possible.
This PR also contains code to estimate the refresh rate based on the input deltas, without reading the refresh rate from the host OS.
The delta_smooth_enabled setting can also be modified at runtime through OS::, and there is also now a command line setting to override the project setting.
Instead of reading files over the network, the new version uses a local file cache and only updates files when it changes.
The original remote filesystem was created 14 years ago, when ethernet was faster than hard drives or even flash. Also, mobile devices have a very small amount of storage.
Nowadays, this is no longer the case so the approach is changed to using a persistent cache in the target device.

Which allows editable data associated with a particular class instead of
the instance. Scripts with static variables are kept in memory
indefinitely unless the `@static_unload` annotation is used or the
`static_unload()` method is called on the GDScript.
If the custom function `_static_init()` exists it will be called when
the class is loaded, after the static variables are set.
Adds a check to make_rst to look for matches
between the text inside of the [code][/code] tag
and known param identifiers.
Fixes most of what was revealed.
* Functionality moved to a base class CallQueue, which will be used for inter-thread communication within the scene.
* MessageQueue now uses growing pages, starts from a single 4k page.
* Limit still exists, but because its not allocated by default, it can be much higher.
Default actions are no longer internal since we want to document them.
They are still hidden from the Project Setting dialog because we hid the
whole `input/` group manually.
- Adds a list of default levels for all warning so they can be set
individually.
- Add warnings set by default to error for:
- Using `get_node()` without `@onready`.
- Using `@onready` together with `@export`.
- Inferring a static type with a Variant value.
- Overriding a native engine method.
- Adjust how annotations to ignore warnings are treated so they also
apply to method parameters.
- Clean up a bit how ignored warnings are set. There were two sets but
only one was actually being used.
- Set all warnings to the `WARN` level for tests, so they they can be
properly tested.
- Fix enum types in native methods signatures being set to `int`.
- Fix native enums being treated as Dictionary by mistake.
- Make name of native enum types use the class they are defined in, not
the direct super class of the script. This ensures they are always
equal even when coming from different sources.
- Fix error for signature mismatch that was only showing the first
default argument as having a default. Now it shows for all.

* Only two texture import modes for low/high quality now:
* S3TC/BPTC
* ETC2/ASTC
* Makes sense given this is the general preferred and most compatible combination in most platforms.
* Removed lossy_quality from VRAM texture compression options. It was unused everywhere.
* Added a new "high_quality" option to texture import. When enabled, it uses BPTC/ASTC (BC7/ASTC4x4) instead of S3TC/ETC2 (DXT1-5/ETC2,ETCA).
* Changed MacOS export settings so required texture formats depend on the architecture selected.
This solves the following problems:
* Makes it simpler to import textures as high quality, without having to worry about the specific format used.
* As the editor can now run on platforms such as web, Mac OS with Apple Silicion and Android, it should no longer be assumed that S3TC/BPTC is available by default for it.
This is using an adapted version of UAX#31 to not rely on the ICU
database (which isn't available in builds without TextServerAdvanced).
It allows most characters used in diverse scripts but not everything.
* Button shortcuts were treated as generic input events on buttons. This means that to activate a button shortcut you had to press and release.
* This logic is removed and now shortcuts always activate on press.
* This makes the editor feel more responsive and solves problems related to this behavior.
Fixes#45033 and possibly others.
* Overrides no longer happen for set/get.
* They must be checked with a new function: `ProjectSettings::get_setting_with_override()`.
* GLOBAL_DEF/GLOBAL_GET updated to use this
This change solves many problems:
* General confusion about getting the actual or overriden setting.
* Feature tags available after settings are loaded were being ignored, they are now considered.
* Hacks required for the Project Settings editor to work.
Fixes#64100. Fixes#64014. Fixes#61908.
This project setting was only implemented and iOS and likely served
no purpose outside of debugging during development of engine features.
It was also located in a confusing location in the project settings
editor, as it was located below a root category (which appears in bold
and is normally not seen as clickable by users).
This prevents the project setting from being located directly within
a root category, which is confusing from an UX perspective in the
project settings editor.
This happens too often with normal usage of the API.
The warning can still be useful to find actual bugs where discarding the return
value wasn't intentional, but this should stay enabled manually, at least until
we either improve the API to remove false positives, or improve the warning (e.g.
to only warn about unused return value on const functions).
Antialiasing cannot be adjusted on fonts rendered with MSDF.
Internally, Godot always uses grayscale antialiasing for those fonts.
This also tweaks property hints for consistency, and renames
uses of "sub-pixel" to the more commonly used "subpixel".
- Removed empty paragraphs in XML.
- Consistently use bold style for "Example:", on a new line.
- Fix usage of `[code]` when hyperlinks could be used (`[member]`, `[constant]`).
- Fix invalid usage of backticks for inline code in BBCode.
- Fix some American/British English spelling inconsistencies.
- Other minor fixes spotted along the way, including typo fixes with codespell.
- Don't specify `@GlobalScope` for `enum` and `constant`.
Refactors`ui_text_remove_secondary_carets` from https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/68089 as `ui_text_clear_carets_and_selection`, with extra behaviour:
- If there's only one active caret active with a selection, clears the selection.
- In case there's more than one caret active, removes the secondary carets and clears selections.
With this change, `TextEdit` then imitates the behaviour of VSCode for clearing carets and selections.
Adds the bind `ui_text_remove_secondary_carets` to TextEdit, with ESC as the default shortcut.
When the bind is performed, if the TextEdit has multiple carets, `remove_secondary_carets` is called and secondary carets are removed.
This is useful when multiple selects are performed with `add_select_for_next_occurrence` #67644 or when multiple multiple carets are manually added, then it's possible to go back to a single caret with a shortcut.
Closes#67991
This also adds a link to the Command line tutorial on pages
that reference command line arguments, as the page covers some
general usage tips for CLI arguments (especially on macOS).
Adds the bind `add_selection_for_next_occurrence` to TextEdit, with CTRL+D as the default shortcut.
When the bind is performed, ff a selection is currently active with the last caret in text fields, searches for the next occurrence of the selection, adds a caret and selects the next occurrence.
If no selection is currently active with the last caret in text fields, selects the word currently under the caret.
The action can be performed sequentially for all occurrences of the selection of the last caret and for all existing carets. The viewport is adjusted to the latest newly added caret.
The bind and the behaviour is similar to VS Code's "Add Selection to Next Find Match" and JetBrains' "Add Selection for Next Occurrence". It takes advantage of the multi-caret API.
The default shortcut for `select_word_under_caret` has been changed to ALT+G, in order to give priority to CTRL+D for `add_selection_for_next_occurrence` to better align with popular IDEs and editors.
When using high physics FPS (which is a requirement to minimize input
lag and improve precision in simulation racing games), a higher value
prevents the game from slowing down at low rendering FPS.
This can be done via an Engine property for run-time changes,
or a project setting for initial changes.
Mainly:
- Make `max_descriptors_per_pool` project setting Vulkan-specific.
- Use a common, render driver agnostic magic FourCC for shader binary data.
- Downgrade spirv_reflect to Vulkan-only dependency.
- Add a `RENDER_DRIVER_*` macro to GLSL shader code for per-driver customizations.
This removes the countless small UBO writes we had before
and replaces them with a single large write per render pass.
This results in much faster rendering on low-end devices
but improves speed on all devices.
This makes the setting easier to find, as research has found there are
numerous use cases to limiting FPS. This also improves documentation
related to the Engine property and project setting.
The project setting also works in projects exported in release mode,
so its location in the `debug/` section was misleading.
- Don't warn about minimized/maximized modes not being available.
- Blender and FBX export both depend on running thirdparty applications,
which can't be done (easily at least) for Web and Android editors.
- Editor theme complained about not being able to retrieve texture data
for an icon. It was only used once so instead of flipping at runtime,
let's just add a flipped icon.
Part of #65702.
This allows light sources to be specified in physical light units in addition to the regular energy multiplier. In order to avoid loss of precision at high values, brightness values are premultiplied by an exposure normalization value.
In support of Physical Light Units this PR also renames CameraEffects to CameraAttributes.
As announced in https://godotengine.org/article/godot-4-will-discontinue-visual-scripting,
Godot maintainers have agreed to discontinue the current implementation of
our VisualScript language.
The way it had been designed was not user-friendly enough and we did not
succeed in improving its usability to actually make it a good low-code
solution for users who need one.
So we prefer to remove it for Godot 4.0 and leave the door open for new,
innovative ideas around visual scripting, to be developed as plugins or
extensions now that Godot provides sufficient functionality for this
(notably via GDExtension and the godot-cpp C++ bindings).
The current module has been moved to a dedicated repository (with full Git
history extracted with `git filter-branch`):
https://github.com/godotengine/godot-visual-script
It can still be compiled as a C++ module (for now, but will likely require
work to be kept in sync with the engine repository), but our hope is that
contributors will port it to GDExtension (which is quite compatibile with
the existing C++ module code when using the godot-cpp C++ bindings).
We're targeting .NET 5 for now to make development easier while
.NET 6 is not yet released.
TEMPORARY REGRESSIONS
---------------------
Assembly unloading is not implemented yet. As such, many Godot
resources are leaked at exit. This will be re-implemented later
together with assembly hot-reloading.
The new default window size is tuned to:
- Have a 16:9 aspect ratio,
- Have both dimensions divisible by 8 to better play along with
video recording,
- Be displayable correctly in windowed mode on a 1366×768 display
(tested on Windows 10 with default settings).
This breaks compatibility with projects that didn't change the
window size from the default value (or that kept one of the values
to its default).
This provides a benefit similar to FSR 1.0 (greater texture sharpness
at the cost of some graininess at sub-native resolution scales), but
without the added performance cost of FSR 1.0.
This is consistent with the BaseMaterial3D filtering options.
It can be used for high-quality pixel art textures that remain sharp
when viewed at oblique angles, but prevents them from becoming grainy
thanks to mipmaps.
- Adds more customization options to ProjectSettings.
- Displays navregion edge connections and navigation polygon edges in editor and at runtime.
- Majority of debug code moved from SceneTree to NavigationServer.
- Removes the irritating debug MeshInstance child node from NavigationRegion3D and replaces it with direct RenderingServer API.
Mipmap LOD bias can be useful to improve the appearance of distant
textures without increasing anisotropic filtering (or in situations
where anisotropic filtering is not effective).
`fsr_mipmap_bias` was renamed to `texture_mipmap_bias` accordingly.
The property hint now allows for greater precision as well.
This PR implements a worked thread pool. It uses a fixed amount of threads in a pool and allows scheduling tasks
that can be run on threads (and then waited for). It satisfies the following use cases:
* HTML5 thread count is fixed (and similar restrictions are known in consoles) so we need to reuse threads.
* Thread spawning is slow in general, so reusing threads is faster anyway.
* This implementation supports recursive waiting for tasks, making it less prone to deadlocks if threads from the pool also run tasks.
After this is approved and merged, subsequent PRs will be needed to replace the ThreadWorkPool usage by this class.
`rendering/quality/shadows` is now `rendering/quality/positional_shadow`
to explicitly denote that the settings only affect positional light shadows,
not directional light shadows.
Shadow atlas settings now contain the word "atlas" for easier searching.
Soft shadow quality settings were renamed to contain the word "filter".
This makes the settings appear when searching for "filter" in the
project settings dialog, like in Godot 3.x.
- Rename audio mix rate setting as the suffix is now part of the
property hint. This is also more consistent with existing mix rate
project settings.
- Improve the MovieWriter class reference.
- Tweak warning message about audio possibly going out of sync.
* Allows running the game in "movie writer" mode.
* It ensures entirely stable framerate, so your run can be saved stable and with proper sound (which is impossible if your CPU/GPU can't sustain doing this in real-time).
* If disabling vsync, it can save movies faster than the game is run, but if you want to control the interaction it can get difficult.
* Implements a simple, default MJPEG writer.
This new features has two main use cases, which have high demand:
* Saving game videos in high quality and ensuring the frame rate is *completely* stable, always.
* Using Godot as a tool to make movies and animations (which is ideal if you want interaction, or creating them procedurally. No other software is as good for this).
**Note**: This feature **IS NOT** for capturing real-time footage. Use something like OBS, SimpleScreenRecorder or FRAPS to achieve that, as they do a much better job at intercepting the compositor than Godot can probably do using Vulkan or OpenGL natively. If your game runs near real-time when capturing, you can still use this feature but it will play no sound (sound will be saved directly).
Usage:
$ godot --write-movie movie.avi [scene_file.tscn]
Missing:
* Options for configuring video writing via GLOBAL_DEF
* UI Menu for launching with this mode from the editor.
* Add to list of command line options.
* Add a feature tag to override configurations when movie writing (fantastic for saving videos with highest quality settings).
This is done to prevent reducing texture quality when it doesn't save
much video memory, especially for pixel art.
The size threshold can be adjusted in the project settings.
To get the previous behavior where textures detected to be used in 3D
had their compression mode always set to VRAM, set this to the lowest value
(16).
When an exported project crashes, the crash handler message
shouldn't reference the Godot issue tracker, as not all crashes
are Godot's fault.
Reporting crashes that only occur on exported projects is still allowed,
but it should not be done by people who aren't working on the project
in question.
Initial TAA support based on the implementation in Spartan Engine.
Motion vectors are correctly generated for camera and mesh movement, but there is no support for other things like particles or skeleton deformations.
Match NavMap and ProjectSettings with NavigationMesh defaults since the NavMap edge merging requires a matching cell_size with the NavigationMesh to create connections without issues.
