* `_gui_input`, `_input`, `_unhandled_input` and `_unhandled_key_input` are now regular C++ virutal functions.
* Everything else converted to GDVIRTUAL
* BIND_VMETHOD is gone, always use the new syntax from now on.
Creating `_gui_input` method and using the binder to register events will no longer work, simply override the virtual function now.
Since OpenGL will not be available in Godot 4.0, this exposes a
choice between Vulkan clustered and Vulkan mobile in the project manager.
Despite the name, Vulkan mobile has many benefits on desktop platforms.
It provides better performance on simple scenes, and ensures that you
won't accidentally use unsupported features while testing your project
on desktop platforms.
The Vulkan backend setting was made into a "basic" setting so that
it can be changed without having to enable the Advanced Settings toggle.
This also improves list formatting to use bullet points and tweaks
the property hint to be more descriptive.
* 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.
* Added a new macro SNAME() that constructs and caches a local stringname.
* Subsequent usages use the cached version.
* Since these use a global static variable, a second refcounter of static usages need to be kept for cleanup time.
* Replaced all theme usages by this new macro.
* Replace all signal emission usages by this new macro.
* Replace all call_deferred usages by this new macro.
This is part of ongoing work to optimize GUI and the editor.
The About button is located in the bottom-right corner of the
project manager.
This allows removing the copyright notice from the window title
(which looked a bit ugly in comparison to other applications).
- Ctrl + N: New Project
- Ctrl + I: Import Project
- Ctrl + S: Scan for Projects
- Ctrl + E: Edit Project
- Ctrl + R: Run Project
- F2: Rename Project
- Delete: Remove Project
- Already implemented previously, but moved to use `ED_SHORTCUT()`.
Note that depsite using `ED_SHORTCUT()`, these shortcuts won't appear
in the Editor Settings' Shortcuts dialog and won't be remappable since
the project manager code isn't run in the editor.
- Focus the project search box when switching from the Templates tab
back to the Projects tab in the project manager.
- Add a context-specific placeholder for the asset library search box.
- Rename "Search" project filter box placeholder to the more
descriptive "Filter projects". When performing a search on an
existing selection, "Filter" is more accurate than "Search".
This is a workaround fix for a Vector2i multiplication regression issue that prevents the project manager window size from scaling correctly. This calculates the new window size x and y values separately.
-Advanced Settings toggle also hides advanced properties when disabled
-Simplified Advanced Bar (errors were just plain redundant)
-Reorganized rendering quality settings.
-Reorganized miscelaneous settings for clean up.
This hints the user that the project manager is currently busy
loading the project. This is important for the HTML5 editor as the
current feedback isn't very obvious.
This also removes the unused `_exit_dialog` function.
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 🎆
