I'm barely scratching the surface of the changes needed to make the
--export command line interface easy to use, but this should already
improve things somewhat.
- Streamline `can_export()` templates check in all platforms, checking
first for the presence of official templates, then of any defined
custom template, and reporting on the absence of any.
Shouldn't change the actual return value much which is still true if
either release or debug is usable - we might want to change that
eventually and better validate against the requested target.
- Fix discrepancy between platforms using `custom_package/debug` and
`custom_template/debug` (resp. `release`).
All now use `custom_template`, which will break compatibility for
`export_presets.cfg` with earlier projects (but is easy to fix).
- Use `can_export()` when attempting a command line export and report
the same errors that would be shown in the editor.
- Improve error reporting after a failed export attempt, handling
missing template and invalid path more gracefully.
- Cleanup of unused stuff in EditorNode around the export workflow.
- Improve --export documentation in --help a bit.
Fixes#16949 (at least many of the misunderstandings listed there).
Fixes#18470.
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.
The description appears when hovering over the one-click-deploy button (top-right). This information helps the user distinguish between their devices if multiple are connected or if the same device is connected by both usb and tcpip (two entries in the list for the same device).
Avoid using adb reverse if deploying with adb tcpip.
This still can fail if the user is attempting to debug over usb and has connected their device over BOTH usb and tcpip. I'm not sure how we would detect that problem in advance though.
A better fix would be to make Godot's export code properly parse the
tag over multiple lines (and maybe even use XMLParser instead of doing
it ad-hoc?).
As for the APK names, we could alternatively pick the first .apk found
in the `debug` and `release` folders without expecting a specific name.
Fixes#32414.
This fades out messages originating from the editor to make messages
printed by the project stand out more.
This also tweaks wording in some editor messages for consistency.
The application module `app` serves double duties of providing the prebuilt Godot binaries ('android_debug.apk', 'android_release.apk') and the Godot custom build template ('android_source.zip').
The language didn't make it clear that it's installing a *source* template
to the project folder, for later use when compiling custom APKs.
Fixes#28736.
So far we left most temporary files lying around, so this attempts to
fix that.
I added a helper method to DirAccess to factor out the boilerplate of
creating a DirAccess, checking if the file exists, remove it or print
an error on failure.
It's not necessary, but the vast majority of calls of error macros
do have an ending semicolon, so it's best to be consistent.
Most WARN_DEPRECATED calls did *not* have a semicolon, but there's
no reason for them to be treated differently.
GLES2 is not designed to be a drop-in replacement for the GLES3 backend,
so the fallback mode has to be used knowingly. It *can* make sense for
simple projects which make sure to handle the differences between both
rendering backends, but most users should stick to one supported backend.
By making it opt-in, we can now use this parameter to define whether to
export ETC textures to Android and iOS when using GLES3 + Fallback.
When using GLES3 without Fallback on Android, set the proper min GLES
version in the AndroidManifest.
Also made the option boolean and renamed it for clarity and to avoid
conflict with the previous String option (which would always evaluate as
"true" otherwise).
Fixes#26569.
For HTML5, we need to support S3TC if running on desktop,
and ETC or ETC2 for mobile, so make this explicit.
Add logic to check for ETC2 support on GLES3,
and remove incorrect ETC feature for GLES3 on Android.
Fix ETC check invalidating templates on HTML5.
Fixes#26476.
