# Props
|
||||
# Props Module
|
||||
|
||||
This is a c++ engine module for the Godot Engine.
|
||||
|
||||
It gives you props, and editor utilities to convert scenes to props.
|
||||
|
||||
It supports both godot 3.2 and 4.0 (master). Note that since 4.0 is still in very early stages I only
|
||||
check whether it works from time to time.
|
||||
|
||||
# Pre-built binaries
|
||||
|
||||
You can grab a pre-built editor binary from the releases tab in the [Broken Seals](https://github.com/Relintai/broken_seals/releases)
|
||||
repo, should you want to. It contains all my modules.
|
||||
|
||||
# Optional Dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
[Mesh Data Resource](https://github.com/Relintai/mesh_data_resource): Support for merged meshes, even in gles2.
|
||||
[Texture Packer](https://github.com/Relintai/texture_packer): Prop Instance will use this to merge textures.
|
||||
[Thread Pool](https://github.com/Relintai/thread_pool): Prop Instance will use this for multithreaded generation.
|
||||
|
||||
# PropData
|
||||
|
||||
Props are basicly 3D scenes in a simple format, so other things can easily process them without instancing.
|
||||
|
||||
For example if you create a building from MeshDataInstances, and then convert that scene to a prop, Voxelman
|
||||
can spawn it, merge it's meshes, and create lods without any scene instancing.
|
||||
|
||||
PropData is the main class you'll use, it's main purpose it to store a list of PropDataEntries.
|
||||
|
||||
# PropDataEntries
|
||||
|
||||
These are the classes that actually store data.
|
||||
|
||||
They contain 4 methods for scene->prop conversion, namely:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
//Whether or not this PropDataEntry can process the given Node.
|
||||
virtual bool _processor_handles(Node *node);
|
||||
|
||||
//Save the given Node into the given prop_data any way you like, at tranform.
|
||||
virtual void _processor_process(Ref<PropData> prop_data, Node *node, const Transform &transform);
|
||||
|
||||
//Turn PropDataEntry back into a Node
|
||||
virtual Node *_processor_get_node_for(const Transform &transform);
|
||||
|
||||
//Whether the system should skip evaluating the children of a processes Node or not. See PropDataScene, or PropDataProp.
|
||||
virtual bool _processor_evaluate_children();
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
# PropInstances
|
||||
|
||||
PropInstances are not yet finished.
|
||||
|
||||
They will be able to merge meshes, texture etc from a Prop, and also generate lods for it.
|
||||
|
||||
Essenrtially they will be a more advanced MeshInstance.
|
||||
|
||||
Voxelman implements all of this, just haven't finished porting it yet.
|
||||
|
||||
# PropUtils Singleton
|
||||
|
||||
The PropUtils singleton helps with scene->prop conversion.
|
||||
|
||||
You can register new PropDataEntries as processors, should you need to.
|
||||
|
||||
# Scene conversion
|
||||
|
||||
You can either click the new "To Prop" button on the menubar of the 3D scene for a quick conversion,
|
||||
or look into Project->Tools.
|
||||
|
||||
# Building
|
||||
|
||||
1. Get the source code for the engine.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want Godot 3.2:
|
||||
```git clone -b 3.2 https://github.com/godotengine/godot.git godot```
|
||||
|
||||
If you want Godot 4.0:
|
||||
```git clone https://github.com/godotengine/godot.git godot```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2. Go into Godot's modules directory.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
cd ./godot/modules/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. Clone this repository
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/Relintai/texture_packer texture_packer
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
4. Build Godot. [Tutorial](https://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/development/compiling/index.html)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
A prop module for godot.
