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 🎆
- ClassDoc added to GDScript and property reflection data were extracted
from parse tree
- GDScript comments are collected from tokenizer for documentation and
applied to the ClassDoc by the GDScript compiler
- private docs were excluded (name with underscore prefix and doesn't
have any doc comments)
- default values (of non exported vars), arguments are extraced from the
parser
- Integrated with GDScript 2.0 and new enums were added.
- merge conflicts fixed
unhandled_key_input changed to unhandled_button_input. Controls can set a 'shortcut_context' which they can then use to determine if their shortcuts should be triggered or not, based on if the viewport's focused GUI control is a child of their 'shortcut context'.
See #43689.
Also 'fixed' some spelling for behavior in publicly visible strings.
(Sorry en_GB, en_CA, en_AU, and more... Silicon Valley won the tech spelling
war.)
* Using C-style function pointers now, InternalMethod is gone.
* This ensures much better performance in typed code.
* Renamed builtin_funcs to utility_funcs, to avoid naming confusion
The underscore prefix was used to avoid the conflict between the `RID` class
name and the matching enum value in `Variant::Type`.
This can be fixed differently by prefixing uses of the `RID` class in `Variant`
with the scope resolution operator, as done already for `AABB`.
-Discern between named, indexed and keyed
-Get direct access to functions for typed GDScript and GDNative bindings
-Small changes to some classes in order to work with the new setget binder
Unsaved scripts were previously displayed with blank tabs, which are
mostly a result of deleted or improperly moved scripts.
This patch makes sure that those kind of scripts are displayed as
"[unsaved]" now, and ensures that scripts are removed from the list
while deleting scripts from the filesystem dock preventing the unsaved
tabs to appear in the first place (a user is already prompted with
"no undo" warning while deleting any file).
A user is always prompted to save those "[unsaved]" scripts if they
attempt to close them without saving in any case except as described
above.
This change avoids the editor to freeze for several seconds when a
project with lots of scripts is loaded in the editor.
It focuses on a few heavy operations previously executed on all
previously loaded scripts:
- Initialize script resource (script validation/parsing) only
on focus
- ScriptTextEditor: code editor and edit menu are added to the
scene only on focus
- Add to recent scripts only when opening new scripts
(load/save scene metadata)
- Extacted all syntax highlighting code from text edit
- Removed enable syntax highlighting from text edit
- Added line_edited_from signal to text_edit
- Renamed get/set_syntax_highlighting to get/set_syntax_highlighter
- Added EditorSyntaxHighligher
Attempting to move the function node to another function whose data connection is a dependency of the node the specific node being moved to a different function during changes to sequence connections.
By skipping, if the from_node is a function_node during the data connection dependencies scan.
Should fix#37991
I couldn't find a tool that enforces it, so I went the manual route:
```
find -name "thirdparty" -prune \
-o -name "*.cpp" -o -name "*.h" -o -name "*.m" -o -name "*.mm" \
-o -name "*.glsl" > files
perl -0777 -pi -e 's/\n}\n([^#])/\n}\n\n\1/g' $(cat files)
misc/scripts/fix_style.sh -c
```
This adds a newline after all `}` on the first column, unless they
are followed by `#` (typically `#endif`). This leads to having lots
of places with two lines between function/class definitions, but
clang-format then fixes it as we enforce max one line of separation.
This doesn't fix potential occurrences of function definitions which
are indented (e.g. for a helper class defined in a .cpp), but it's
better than nothing. Also can't be made to run easily on CI/hooks so
we'll have to be careful with new code.
Part of #33027.
Which means that reduz' beloved style which we all became used to
will now be changed automatically to remove the first empty line.
This makes us lean closer to 1TBS (the one true brace style) instead
of hybridating it with some Allman-inspired spacing.
There's still the case of braces around single-statement blocks that
needs to be addressed (but clang-format can't help with that, but
clang-tidy may if we agree about it).
Part of #33027.
It changed name as part of the DisplayServer and input refactoring
in #37317, with the rationale that input no longer goes through the
main loop, so the previous Input singleton now only does filtering.
But the gains in consistency are quite limited in the renaming, and
it breaks compatibility for all scripts and tutorials that access
the Input singleton via the scripting language. A temporary option
was suggested to keep the scripting singleton named `Input` even if
its type is `InputFilter`, but that adds inconsistency and breaks C#.
Fixesgodotengine/godot-proposals#639.
Fixes#37319.
Fixes#37690.
Note: Only replaced 2 instances to test, Node.get_children and TileMap.get_used_cells
Note: Will do a mass replace on later PRs of whathever I can find, but probably need
a tool to grep through doc.
Warning: Mono will break, needs to be fixed (and so do TypeScript and NativeScript, need to ask respective maintainers)
Configured for a max line length of 120 characters.
psf/black is very opinionated and purposely doesn't leave much room for
configuration. The output is mostly OK so that should be fine for us,
but some things worth noting:
- Manually wrapped strings will be reflowed, so by using a line length
of 120 for the sake of preserving readability for our long command
calls, it also means that some manually wrapped strings are back on
the same line and should be manually merged again.
- Code generators using string concatenation extensively look awful,
since black puts each operand on a single line. We need to refactor
these generators to use more pythonic string formatting, for which
many options are available (`%`, `format` or f-strings).
- CI checks and a pre-commit hook will be added to ensure that future
buildsystem changes are well-formatted.
For us, it practically only changes the fact that `A<A<int>>` is now
used instead of the C++03 compatible `A<A<int> >`.
Note: clang-format 10+ changed the `Standard` arguments to fully
specified `c++11`, `c++14`, etc. versions, but we can't use `c++17`
now if we want to preserve compatibility with clang-format 8 and 9.
`Cpp11` is still supported as deprecated alias for `Latest`.
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.
Those were problematic as they call a method of their parent class,
but callable_mp does not allow that unless it's public.
To solve it, we declare a local class that calls the parent class'
method, which now needs to be protected to be accessible in the
derived class.
It's tedious work...
Some can't be ported as they depend on private or protected methods
of different classes, which is not supported by callable_mp (even if
it's a class inherited by the current one).
Remove now unnecessary bindings of signal callbacks in the public API.
There might be some false positives that need rebinding if they were
meant to be public.
No regular expressions were harmed in the making of this commit.
(Nah, just kidding.)
Main:
- It's now implemented thanks to `<mutex>`. No more platform-specific implementations.
- `BinaryMutex` (non-recursive) is added, as an alternative for special cases.
- Doesn't need allocation/deallocation anymore. It can live in the stack and be part of other classes.
- Because of that, it's methods are now `const` and the inner mutex is `mutable` so it can be easily used in `const` contexts.
- A no-op implementation is provided if `NO_THREADS` is defined. No more need to add `#ifdef NO_THREADS` just for this.
- `MutexLock` now takes a reference. At this point the cases of null `Mutex`es are rare. If you ever need that, just don't use `MutexLock`.
- Thread-safe utilities are therefore simpler now.
Misc.:
- `ScopedMutexLock` is dropped and replaced by `MutexLock`, because they were pretty much the same.
- Every case of lock, do-something, unlock is replaced by `MutexLock` (complex cases where it's not straightfoward are kept as as explicit lock and unlock).
- `ShaderRD` contained an `std::mutex`, which has been replaced by `Mutex`.
- Renames PackedIntArray to PackedInt32Array.
- Renames PackedFloatArray to PackedFloat32Array.
- Adds PackedInt64Array and PackedFloat64Array.
- Renames Variant::REAL to Variant::FLOAT for consistency.
Packed arrays are for storing large amount of data and creating stuff like
meshes, buffers. textures, etc. Forcing them to be 64 is a huge waste of
memory. That said, many users requested the ability to have 64 bits packed
arrays for their games, so this is just an optional added type.
For Variant, the float datatype is always 64 bits, and exposed as `float`.
We still have `real_t` which is the datatype that can change from 32 to 64
bits depending on a compile flag (not entirely working right now, but that's
the idea). It affects math related datatypes and code only.
Neither Variant nor PackedArray make use of real_t, which is only intended
for math precision, so the term is removed from there to keep only float.
This attribute is now part of the standard we target so we no longer
need compiler-specific hacks.
Also enables -Wimplicit-fallthrough for Clang now that we can properly
support it. It's already on by default for GCC's -Wextra.
Fixes new warnings raised by Clang's -Wimplicit-fallthrough.
- Now is sent the method ID rather the full function name.
- The passed IDs (Node and Method) are compressed so to use less possible space.
- The variant (INT and BOOL) is now encoded and compressed so to use much less data.
- Optimized RPCMode retrieval for GDScript functions.
- Added checksum to assert the methods are the same across peers.
This work has been kindly sponsored by IMVU.
-Texture renamed to Texture2D
-TextureLayered as base now inherits 2Darray, cubemap and cubemap array
-Removed all references to flags in textures (they will go in the shader)
-Texture3D gone for now (will come back later done properly)
-Create base rasterizer for RenderDevice, RasterizerRD
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.
- Add some missing descriptions.
- Add links to tutorials for ARVR and AnimationTree.
- Style fixes.
- Engine changes:
* Make `AnimationNodeTransition.input_<number>` properties internal
so that they don't appear in the docs. They still appear in the
inspector based on the actual number of inputs requested.
* Drop unimplemented `CPUParticles.flatness`. It's only used for 3D
particles in `ParticlesMaterial`, and thus only relevant for
`CPUParticles3D`.
- `EditorNavigationMeshGenerator` was being registered as part of the Core API,
even after d3f48f88bb. We must make sure to
set Editor as the current ClassDB API type before creating an instance.
- The `VisualScriptEngineSingleton.constant` property has a property hint string
that's different between tools and non-tools builds. This commit makes the
hint string to no longer be set in `_bind_methods`, and to instead set it in
`_validate_property`. This way it's ignored when calculating the API hash.
- `JavaClassWrapper` is now registered in ClassDB on all platforms,
using a dummy implementation on platforms other than Android.
This fixes API portability between Android and other platforms.
- Updated `--class-db-json` command to ignore non-virtual methods that start
with an underscore (see: 4be87c6016).
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.
* "Add" button text in Groups Editor
* "Receiver Method" in Connect Signal Dialog
* "Play Mode" in Animation State Machine Editor
* "Mesh Library" button text in Mesh Library editor plugin
* Compose Array node button texts in Visual Script
* Various button texts in TileSet Editor
* Various Run Script errors
- Add or remove the necessary subdirectorires to the includes to remove
dependency on the editor directory being in the build's include path.
- Ensure includes in modified files conform to style guideline.
- Remove editor from the build include path.
Removes the need to have separate graphs per function for the VisualScript Nodes, and refactoring UI and other improvements such as fuzzy search, right click search boxes and in-graph editable nodes
In the Visual Script editor, the override icon is not very clear what it's intended purpose is for. Currently, its tooltip just says: "Function:" which is the same tooltip as the "add new function" icon.
To resolve this issue, this PR adds descriptive tooltips to the following icons in the Visual Script editor:
-Override Function
-Add Function
-Add Variable
-Add Signal
"posmod" is the integer version of "fposmod". We do not need a "mod" because of the % operator.
I changed the default arg names from "x" and "y" to "a" and "b" because they are not coordinates. I also changed pow's arg names to "base" and "exp". Also, I reorganized the code in the VS built-in funcs switch statement.
The functionality is similar to how `doc_classes` are retrieved per module.
The build system will search for custom icons path defined per module via
`get_icons_path()` method in `config.py` or default icons path.
If such paths don't exist, only the editor's own icons will be built.
Most module icons were moved from editor/icons to respective modules.
