Changelog

This is a high-level changelog for each released versions of the plugin. For a more detailed list of past and incoming changes, see the commit history.

1.7.3 (dev)

  • Added more explicit image format check before update_collider is called
  • Used absolute path in shader #includes, so forking doesn't fail to find them by default
  • Added HTerrainData.reload function to allow reloading a terrain while the game is running (after saving in the editor)
  • Update properties in the inspector when a custom shader is modified
  • Added support for importing and exporting 32-bit raw files
  • Allow to set brush size and opacity size with spinboxes (thanks to Vercix)
  • Exposed specular parameter in ground shaders
  • Save terrain data immediately when assigning a new data_directory (attempt to workaround random saving issue #232)
  • Updated name detection in the texture import dialog to work better with AmbientCG and PolyHaven (thanks to GustJc)
  • Optimized HTerrainDetailLayer process function by updating chunks when needed and spreading calculations over time
  • Changed detail layers format to L8. Before it was R8 but that is handled inefficiently by save_png and Godot's import pipeline. It kept using RGB8 which consumed more memory and printed a "Will be converted" warning.
  • Fixed brush cursor looked off-center at close range when using tiny brush sizes
  • Fixed error when trying to change TextureSet mode while it has textures in it
  • Fixed shader parameters not displaying the right value in the inspector until they are set by the user at least once
  • Fixed lod_scale property getter was always returning 2 instead of the last set value
  • Fixed LOD chunks sometimes overlapping when the heightmap is modified (issue #411)
  • Fixed detail layers were rendering repeating instances outside the terrain when map_scale is not 1.0
  • Fixed detail layers were not rendering correctly when terrain is in centered mode
  • Fixed texture import dialog was opening a very tall window (issue #423)
  • Fixed detail layers "lines" showing on top of grass quads when MSAA is enabled
  • Fixed detail layer chunks disappearing unexpectedly when map_scale is very large
  • Fixed wrong density map when redoing the addition of a density map (undo/redo)
  • Fixed Image.load warnings in the editor (thanks to GustJc)
  • Fixed detail layers rendering one chunk beyond positive edges of the terrain

1.7.2

  • Fixed error when removing a texture from a TextureSet

1.7.1

  • Fixed terrain loading incorrectly in release (non-debug) exports

1.7

This version requires Godot 4.1.

  • Ported the plugin to Godot 4.1

  • Changed some APIs to use Vector2i
  • Added cast_shadow setting to HTerrain
  • Added cast_shadow setting to HTerrainDetailLayer

  • Allow decimal values in min_height and max_height when importing a heightmap
  • Changed shape list in brush settings so it can be used as a regular palette when cycling is off
  • Fixed terrain not functional when using a 32-bit version of Godot (The GDNative library is only maintained for 64-bit)
  • Fixed TextureSet editor logging errors when selecting slots with textures using color codes instead of image files

  • Prefixed ALL internal classes of the plugin to prevent clashes with class_name (see issue #313)
  • Added workarounds to allow the plugin to initialize even if assets are not imported yet (The UI might still have issues, in this case you need to restart Godot)
  • Dropped support for Godot 3.1 and 3.2 due to engine crashes.
  • Fixed grass chunks not updating properly when the terrain is moved
