* General proofreading for grammar and spelling
* General formatting
* Addition of appropriate literals where appropriate, i.e. `&"foo"` for `StringName` cases and `^"foo/bar"` for `NodePath` cases
- Make 3D lights with shadows darker when using Compatibility to better
match the appearance of Forward+/Mobile, due to the use of sRGB blending
for those lights.
- Silence some warnings when running projects with the Compatibility
rendering method, such as the one about 2D MSAA not being supported.
- Rebake lightmaps in Global Illumination to improve quality and reduce
light leaking with improvements from 4.3.
- Increase probe density for dynamic objects, and mark the moving box
as a dynamic object for GI purposes.
This is done to improve the experience with the web-based demos,
which always run with the Compatibility rendering method.
The mob's orientation was previously shifted according to the player's
height, which could lead to collision and movement issues that were
difficult to diagnose.
- Add options for physics ticks per second, time scale, max physics steps per frame
and physics interpolation to the 2D and 3D physics tests demos.
- Physics ticks per second are always multiplied by time scale so that
time scale does not affect the physics simulation quality.
- Enable 4× MSAA for better debug shape display. Remove meshes/lights as
the debug collision fill make these unnecessary.
- Switch to the Mobile rendering method in the 2D physics tests demo
to allow for 2D MSAA, as it's not implemented in Compatibility yet.
- Improve collision shapes color in the 2D and 3D physics tests demos
for better visibility. Each PhysicsBody type now has its own collision
shape color.
The 3D demos aren't very demanding and Godot has been optimized
a bit since 4.0's release, so we can afford using higher quality
shadow settings for less noisy shadow filtering.
This also tweaks shadow bias to reduce shadow acne in the Voxel demo.
The time slider in the Physical Light and Camera units demo now
allows for more precise adjustments.
- Move all demo projects that don't require Forward+/Mobile-only features
to the Compatibility rendering method. This improves performance significantly
on low-end devices and ensures visuals are identical to a web export
of the demo.
- Set deadzone on all inputs to 0.2 for better gamepad usability.
- Remove reliance on `default_env.tres` to use built-in Environment
resources in the main scene instead (which follows the preview environment
workflow).
- Remove notices pointing to GDNative or VisualScript, since both were
removed in 4.0.
- Various bug fixes and usability tweaks to 10+ demos.
* Remove unnecessary use of `self`
* Connect to signals directly over `connect("name")`
* Use `call_deferred` on callables over `call_deferred("name"))`
* Emit signals directly over `emit_signal("name"...)`
All demos were opened with Godot 4.2.1, with the mesh format
upgraded for 3D demos.
The 3D antialiasing demo now uses Extra Cull Margin on the last
object to prevent it from disappearing too early when the camera
rotates (due to its use of shader-based animation).
This is a 3D version of Dodge the Creeps, originally made by GDQuest
and updated to 4.0 by myself.
Some changes are included for more polish:
- Invisible walls were added so that you can't exit the playable area anymore.
- Pillars have a different color to be more visible.
- Physical keys are now used, so that you can use WASD movement
on any keyboard layout.
- The right mouse button can now be used to jump.
- Visual settings were tweaked to match other 3D demos.
- Project icon was upscaled to 128×128 using Waifu2x, so that it
looks better on hiDPI displays.
- `.blend` files were resaved with compression enabled.
