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"...)`
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).
If the bomb and the player are at the same position, then `intersect_ray` returns no result.
`query.hit_from_inside = true` fixes the problem. The other changes were made automatically by Godot.
This allows those demos to run on a greater range of devices.
Particles2D nodes were converted to CPUParticles2D for compatibility
with GLES2.
Physics-Based 2D Platformer demo now uses the same stretch mode
as 2D Platformer for consistency.
The instructions will only show when the player is hosting a server.
This also includes a button to get your public IP address.
This partially addresses #535.
This is required to benefit from crisp display on hiDPI monitors.
This also fixes issues related to fullscreen and input handling
when using an hiDPI display on Windows.
This makes demos render correctly on hiDPI displays,
while also demonstrating how to handle multiple resolutions.
The 3D in 2D demo now uses "3D No-Effects" for the 3D viewport,
which is faster to render. Thanks to this, 4× MSAA is now enabled
for a better result.
The background loading demo now uses mipmaps for better-looking images.
The material testers demo now samples mouse input in a
resolution-independent manner when panning.
Default clear colors were also changed in some projects for visual
consistency with the project's theme.
We used to broadcast player info on connect and have the server relay it
to other clients.
With this approach, each peer (including server) sends its own info once
to other peers as soon as they connects.
When a new player connects, it is notified of all the already connected
peers by the `network_peer_connected` signal.
Any already connected peer is also notified of the newly connected peer
by the same signal.
