[4.1.4+] 1.4.5

Changes

In this update, in general, nothing has changed for regular users, except for some internal details.

• Updated emscripten to 3.1.64.
• The way releases are distributed has been changed. Now the Source code assets will provide the source code. To download the addon, download debug-draw-3d_[version].zip.
• Added support for precision=double #57. For more information, see the documentation.

Full Changelog: 1.4.4...1.4.5

[4.1.4+] 1.4.4

Changes

• Updated godot-cpp to 4.1.4 and emscripten to 3.1.63.
• Fixed the library for the Web build of Godot 4.3 #46. Now the Web library is clearly being built with and without thread support.
• Examples of working with scoped_config have been added to the Readme and documentation.
• Update C# API File Naming Convention #50. Now the generated file will contain .generated suffix.

Note

The name of the libraries for macOS has been changed (the extension .dylib has been returned), it is advisable to clear the addon folder before updating.

[4.2+] 1.4.3

Changes

• Added the rendering/disable_fog setting to change the effect of fog on the debug geometry #48. By default, the fog now has no effect on the geometry. This feature requires Godot 4.2+
• Fixed definition of shader flags. Without this fix, it was impossible to combine no depth with other flags.

[4.1.3+] 1.4.2

Changes

• Added the rendering/render_priority and rendering/render_mode settings to change the priority and mode of geometry rendering #44.
• Static linking of standard libraries on Linux is enabled #45. This is necessary to run DebugDraw3D on some Linux distributions, such as NixOS. Unfortunately, this has led to an increase in the size of the libraries.

[4.1.3+] 1.4.1

Changes

This release is dedicated to only one new feature, but it has been awaited for a long time.

• Implemented the ability to disable the depth test using DebugDraw3DScopeConfig. #7
• Use set_no_depth_test to switch the display mode.
• If you need to draw by default without a depth test, then just change this parameter in scoped_config in DebugDraw3D.

[4.1.3+] 1.4.0

Support

USDT-TRC20 TEw934PrsffHsAn5M63SoHYRuZo984EF6v

Changes

• Added support for multiple World3D and Viewports. #35 #42 DebugDraw3DScopeConfig.set_viewport
• Added iOS support. #27 #36
• Incorrect transformations of boxes and cylinders have been fixed. #38 #40
• Frustum culling has been greatly accelerated. It is now enabled by default.
• Fixed the default color in begin_text_group.
• culling_distance has been renamed to frustum_length_scale and now sets the distance scaling from Near to Far camera planes.

And a short video made for fun:

[4.1.3+] 1.3.1

Support

USDT-TRC20 TEw934PrsffHsAn5M63SoHYRuZo984EF6v

Changes

The main reason for releasing this update is that macOS support has been fixed! #34
And now I hope it will be easier to track such bugs because I've added simple tests to my CI/CD.

Other changes

• The .dylib macOS libraries are now located in separate .framework folders.
• The DebugDraw3DScopeConfig internal code has been optimized a bit.
• Extended description of DebugDraw3DScopeConfig.

Note

Due to changes in the structure of the libraries folder, it is recommended to delete the addons/debug_draw_3d/libs folder before upgrading (to remove old unused files).

[4.1.3+] 1.3.0

Support

USDT-TRC20 TEw934PrsffHsAn5M63SoHYRuZo984EF6v

Changes

Warning

This update changes a lot of class names, methods and their signatures, so upgrading to 1.3.0 will require changes to your code!

Added volumetric shapes

All basic draw_ methods now allow you to display volumetric shapes (#3, #26). For this purpose scoped_configs are used, which you can read about in the documentation.

_physics_process and _process

Now objects from _physics_process and _process are processed separately and objects created in _physics_process are now deleted in the first physics tick after rendering. This allows you not to worry about the physics frequency not matching the frame rate and objects won't flicker.

Here RayCasts are drawn in _physics_process at a frequency of 15 ticks:

Added more project settings

As you may have noticed singleton aliases have appeared in the settings. This means that now aliases Dbg3 and Dbg2 must be added manually through the project settings.

Added Web support

Thanks to @nicholas-maltbie, debug_draw_3d now has build support for browsers (#23, #24). Unfortunately Firefox is not supported at the moment.

Reduced size of libraries

After adding Web support, I found out that it is possible to greatly reduce the size of Unix libraries and now all libraries take not 53MB, but only 29MB (including Web).

Updated icon

It's certainly not a professional job, but I think it's better than it was...

Old	New

You can also now find it in Project - Tools - Debug Draw.

Documentation

Added Doxygen-based documentation for all major classes! https://dd3d.dmitriysalnikov.ru
For hosting, gh-pages with multiple redirects are used.

Main addresses:
https://dd3d.dmitriysalnikov.ru/docs
https://dd3d.dmitriysalnikov.ru/demo
https://dd3d.dmitriysalnikov.ru/dev

You can even find animated demonstrations of some draw_ methods and other features in the documentation!

Demo

The demo has been updated and now has the ability to move around! And of course it now displays new features and a new panel with several customizations.

Colors

During testing, I noticed that the colors were different in the Vulkan and GLES versions and decided to make them the same. Now the colors on the scene should be more similar to what you select in the color picker.

Maybe I should have brought the colors to the Vulkan version instead of GLES? But then they won't match the color picker.

Telemetry

I know not many people like telemetry, but I want to know that someone is actually using my library and I'm not wasting my time on it.
At this point, telemetry only sends the start time and session duration. I do not collect any personal data.
You can disable telemetry in the editor or project settings.

Important

Telemetry is embedded only in precompiled libraries for the editor (target=editor) and works only in the editor. If you build a library from source code, there will be no telemetry in it.

Other fixes

Fixed #26 and #28.
Fixed some bugs that caused crashes on hot-reload (not active yet).
Many internal bug fixes and performance improvements have been made.

API Changes

This update had a lot of renaming and a few new features.
Most renaming can be done through the Search - Find in Files (Shift + Ctrl + F) menu or via Replace in Files.

Important

Don't forget to backup or commit to VCS before renaming!

DebugDraw2D

• Added clear_texts method.
• Fixed registration of properties with OBJECT type.

DebugDraw3DConfig

• Renamed cull_by_distance to culling_distance.

DebugDraw3D

• Added regenerate_geometry_meshes method.
• Added new_scope_config and scoped_config.
• Added draw_box_ab and draw_cylinder_ab methods.
• Added draw_plane method.
• Added type argument to draw_point_path and draw_points methods.

• Removed draw_sphere_hd and draw_sphere_hd_xf methods in favor of DebugDraw3DScopeConfig.set_hd_sphere.
• Fixed registration of properties with OBJECT type.

DebugDraw3DStats

• Added several new statistics properties

Known issues

There are a couple problems that I don't know how to fix or if they are even related to my code. And both problems occur when the engine is closing.

ERROR: Pages in use exist at exit in PagedAllocator: union Variant::Pools::BucketMedium
   at: PagedAllocator<union Variant::Pools::BucketMedium,1>::~PagedAllocator

And sometimes it crashes when the GDScript module is being cleared.

[4.1+] 1.2.0

Support

Changes

• DebugDraw is now divided into DebugDraw2D and DebugDraw3D. Now you will have to explicitly specify the 3D or 2D elements you want to display. DebugDrawManager has also been added, through which you can toggle debugging and clear everything. Unfortunately, this will require changes to existing projects. ( #15 )
• Added a C# binding generator. Now you can use this library from C#. This implementation uses ClassDB to call methods, so it may be slower than GDScript. I won't be able to do it faster, since official support in the engine core is required. Some additional information can be found in the Readme. ( #10 )
• Fixed duration in the set_text method ( #22 ). The color of the text values has also been fixed.
• Added EditorPlugin to add the Project - Tools - Debug Draw menu.
• Slightly optimized code to increase performance.

Now the target=editor libraries are used for the editor and debug templates on the PC So it is recommended to clear the addon folder before updating.

[4.1+] 1.1.3

Support

Changes

• Updated "godot-cpp", now it calls engine methods faster.
• Updated the update checker. Now it shows additional links and uses BBCode. Also added a link to the addon page in AssetLib in the project settings. Added engine version check.
  This will be useful for future updates, as new versions of godot-cpp are likely to be poorly compatible with previous versions of godot 🤷‍♂️
