This allows Godot to automatically compress meshes to save a lot of bandwidth.
In general, this requires no interaction from the user and should result in
no noticable quality loss.
This scheme is not backwards compatible, so we have provided an upgrade
mechanism, and a mesh versioning mechanism.
Existing meshes can still be used as a result, but users can get a
performance boost by reimporting assets.
* Remove unused `EditorPropertyMember` and related hints, previouly used by
VisualScript. Such logic should be implemented in the VS module itself.
* As the above broke compatibility with the VS module, clean up the other
hacks that were still in core in support of VisualScript.
* `PROPERTY_USAGE_INTERNATIONALIZED` was only used in Object's
`get_translatable_strings()`, which is a legacy function not used anywhere.
So both are removed.
* Reordered some usage flags after the above removal to minimize the diff.
* General clean up.
Fixes#30203.

As many open source projects have started doing it, we're removing the
current year from the copyright notice, so that we don't need to bump
it every year.
It seems like only the first year of publication is technically
relevant for copyright notices, and even that seems to be something
that many companies stopped listing altogether (in a version controlled
codebase, the commits are a much better source of date of publication
than a hardcoded copyright statement).
We also now list Godot Engine contributors first as we're collectively
the current maintainers of the project, and we clarify that the
"exclusive" copyright of the co-founders covers the timespan before
opensourcing (their further contributions are included as part of Godot
Engine contributors).
Also fixed "cf." Frenchism - it's meant as "refer to / see".
Using non-uniform scale is known to cause many issues.
Add warnings to the editor and to the class reference.
Also remove the warning from SoftBody3D since it is
not relevant there: it simulates in global space.
- Back to 1-based layer names to make it clearer in editor UI
- Layer bit accessors are renamed to layer value and 1-based too
- Uniform errors and documentation in render and physics
- Fix a few remaining collision_layer used in place of collision_mask
* 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.
* Removed entirely from RenderingServer.
* Replaced by ImmediateMesh resource.
* ImmediateMesh replaces ImmediateGeometry, but could use more optimization in the future.
* Sprite3D and AnimatedSprite3D work again, ported from Godot 3.x (though a lot of work was needed to adapt them to Godot 4).
* RootMotionView works again.
* Polygon3D editor works again.
New property disable_mode to set different behaviors:
Remove: remove from physics simulation
MakeStatic: change body mode to static (doesn't affect area and soft body)
KeepActive: do nothing
Extra change:
Handle disable/enable node state with specific notifications, in order
to differentiate global pause from disabled nodes.
We've been using standard C library functions `memcpy`/`memset` for these since
2016 with 67f65f6639.
There was still the possibility for third-party platform ports to override the
definitions with a custom header, but this doesn't seem useful anymore.
There was a specific case where the node path wasn't checked for
validity before trying to access the attachment node.
It could cause lots of error log noise in both editor and game.
- Fixed SoftBody surface update with new rendering system
- Added GodotPhysics implementation for SoftBody
- Added support to get SoftBody rid to interact with the physics server
- Added support to get SoftBody bounds from the physics server
- Removed support for unused get_vertex_position and get_point_offset
from the physics server
- Removed SoftBody properties that are unused in both Bullet and
GodotPhysics (angular and volume stiffness, pose matching)
- Added RenderingServerHandler interface to PhysicsServer3D so the physics servers don't need to reference the class from SoftBody node directly
-For inspector refresh, the inspector now detects if a property change by polling a few times per second and then does update the control if so. This process is very cheap.
-For property list refresh, a new signal (property_list_changed) was added to Object. _change_notify() is replaced by notify_property_list_changed()
-Changed all objects using the old method to the signal, or just deleted the calls to _change_notify(<property>) since they are unnecesary now.
-Rendering server now uses a split RID allocate/initialize internally, this allows generating RIDs immediately but initialization to happen later on the proper thread (as rendering APIs generally requiere to call on the right thread).
-RenderingServerWrapMT is no more, multithreading is done in RenderingServerDefault.
-Some functions like texture or mesh creation, when renderer supports it, can register and return immediately (so no waiting for server API to flush, and saving staging and command buffer memory).
-3D physics server changed to be made multithread friendly.
-Added PhysicsServer3DWrapMT to use 3D physics server from multiple threads.
-Disablet Bullet (too much effort to make multithread friendly, this needs to be fixed eventually).
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 🎆
-Changed how mesh data is organized, hoping to make it more efficient on Vulkan and GLES.
-Removed compression, it now always uses the most efficient format.
-Added support for custom arrays (up to 8 custom formats)
-Added support for 8 weights in skeleton data.
-Added a simple optional versioning system for imported assets, to reimport if binary is newer
-Fixes #43979 (I needed to test)
WARNING:
-NOT backwards compatible with previous 4.x-devel, will most likely never be, but it will force reimport scenes due to version change.
-NOT backwards compatible with 3.x scenes, this will be eventually re-added.
-Skeletons not working any longer, will fix in next PR.
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.)
