Hugo Locurcio c97a648356 Improve Run-time File Saving and Loading demo (#1196)
- Add runtime MP3 and WAV loading with example files.
- Add runtime FBX loading (but no example files, due to known issues with
  the current FBX runtime loading implementation).
- Use supersampling for the 3D preview to further improve quality.
- Shorten file path to example glTF scene.
- Mention audio duration in the UI when loading an audio file.

Run-time File Saving and Loading

This project showcases how to load and save various file types without going through Godot's resource importing system.

This is useful to load/save images, sounds, 3D scenes and ZIP archives at run-time such as user-generated content, without requiring users to generate a PCK file through Godot.

Can be loaded and saved at run-time:

  • Images (JPEG, PNG, WebP)
  • 3D scenes (glTF 2.0)
  • ZIP archives
  • Plain text files1

Can be loaded at run-time:

  • Images (TGA, BMP, SVG2 )
  • 3D scenes (FBX3 )
  • Audio (Ogg Vorbis, MP3, WAV)
  • Fonts (TTF, OTF, WOFF, WOFF2, PFB, PFM, BMFont)

See the Saving and Loading (Serialization) demo for an example of saving/loading game progress.

Language: GDScript

  1. Manipulating custom binary formats is possible using the FileAccess and PackedByteArray classes, but this is not shown in this demo. ↩︎

  2. It is possible to procedurally generate SVG as text and save it to a file with .svg extension using the FileAccess class, but this is not shown in this demo. ↩︎

  3. There are known issues with runtime FBX loading, as mentioned in issue #96043. ↩︎
