This switches to 64-bit integers in select locations of the Image
class, so that image resolutions of 16384×16384 (used by
lightmap texture arrays) can be used properly. Values that are larger
should also work.
VRAM compression is also supported, although most VRAM-compressed
formats are limited to individual slices of 16384×16384. WebP
is limited to 16383×16383 due to format limitations.
This also makes errors related to asset image loading
verbose-only, because, frankly, users can't do much about
those errors. Spamming them with error messages
about some assets on the frontend being broken
is pointless.
I was trying to import a solid colored metal/roughness texture that
worked in Godot 4.1.1 but failed to load on master. I eventually tracked
it down to this: to_x and to_y can be 0, which then leads them to be -1
later, which then causes ofs to overflow.
Some of these cases were hidden because of the use of Vector so we were
just happily scribbling in ram elsewhere.
Switched to LocalVector as it made debugging a bit easier.
* Only two texture import modes for low/high quality now:
* S3TC/BPTC
* ETC2/ASTC
* Makes sense given this is the general preferred and most compatible combination in most platforms.
* Removed lossy_quality from VRAM texture compression options. It was unused everywhere.
* Added a new "high_quality" option to texture import. When enabled, it uses BPTC/ASTC (BC7/ASTC4x4) instead of S3TC/ETC2 (DXT1-5/ETC2,ETCA).
* Changed MacOS export settings so required texture formats depend on the architecture selected.
This solves the following problems:
* Makes it simpler to import textures as high quality, without having to worry about the specific format used.
* As the editor can now run on platforms such as web, Mac OS with Apple Silicion and Android, it should no longer be assumed that S3TC/BPTC is available by default for it.
As many open source projects have started doing it, we're removing the
current year from the copyright notice, so that we don't need to bump
it every year.
It seems like only the first year of publication is technically
relevant for copyright notices, and even that seems to be something
that many companies stopped listing altogether (in a version controlled
codebase, the commits are a much better source of date of publication
than a hardcoded copyright statement).
We also now list Godot Engine contributors first as we're collectively
the current maintainers of the project, and we clarify that the
"exclusive" copyright of the co-founders covers the timespan before
opensourcing (their further contributions are included as part of Godot
Engine contributors).
Also fixed "cf." Frenchism - it's meant as "refer to / see".
