* These changes allow the project to start and run in Godot 4.2
I hit some of the files with my formatter, if whitespace updates are not wanted I can remove those.
The project doesn't entirely work yet, but it runs. I am still working on making it work properly fully, but at least it starts now instead of crashing.
* Center text to match Godot 3 example better.
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.
- Make the attractor in the example dynamic to better showcase its functionality,
and add a visual representation to it.
- Tweak the appearance of attracted particles.
- Fix force field particle display (it wasn't using Local Coords as intended).
- Lower the sun angle to make the background darker (and particles easier to see).
This leads to code that is easier to understand and runs
faster thanks to GDScript's typed instructions.
The untyped declaration warning is now enabled on all projects
where type hints were added. All projects currently run without
any untyped declration warnings.
Dodge the Creeps and Squash the Creeps demos intentionally don't
use type hints to match the documentation, where type hints haven't
been adopted yet (given its beginner focus).
- 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"...)`
- Add fog shader example courtesy of alghost
(https://godotshaders.com/shader/moving-gradient-noise-fog-mist-for-godot-4/).
- Add textured floor to make volumetric fog easier to see.
- Add keys to adjust volumetric fog quality (higher values are sharper).
- Increase volumetric fog energy on one of the SpotLights to show
the difference.
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).
On mobile platforms, the vehicle automatically accelerates.
Touch the left and right edges of the screen to steer.
Touch the middle of the screen to brake/reverse
(this also temporarily stops acceleration).
- Fix braking not working correctly (and make breaking stronger
to make vehicles easier to control at high speeds).
- Allow using the D-Pad for steering and X/Square for braking.
- Tweak exhaust particles to be more subtle and fade more smoothly.
- Change spawn position to a location that's more straightforward
to drive.
- Add colored planes below some examples to make antialiasing
differences easier to see.
- Change various textures to make antialiasing differences easier to see.
- Add a visible coin glow around coins to make them more noticeable
at a distance.
- Enable Billboard Keep Scale material property on particle draw
materials that required it.
- Use transparent additive shading as intended for the bullet trail.
- Tweak blob shadow texture and decal to be slightly more subtle.
- Expose FSR Sharpness when FSR is enabled.
- Allow more granular controls for rendering scale factor.
- Add a FPS limit option when TAA is enabled, as TAA convergence quality depends
on the rendered framerate.
- Display viewport resolution (taking 3D resolution scale into account)
in the top-right corner.
- Decrease directional shadow bias to reduce peter-panning.
- Fix some particles not being scaled over a lifetime curve.
