Today I learned you can create your own BBCode markup to use with a RichTextLabel with #godot #GodotTips
I will create a dedicated [highlight] tag to avoid exporting this code into my po files:
[color={{Constants.DIALOG_HIGHLIGHT_COLOR}}]red flowers[/color]

I'm using @trytalo.com in order to implement a leaderboard in #AlixRPG with Steam syncing
Documentation is well written, support via Discord is very fast, Godot addon is complete with multiple examples, prices are fair
What is it missing?

Godot quick tip. You can have custom icons for your nodes / global classes. Just add [GlobalClass, Icon("res://path.svg")] to your calss declaration.
For GDScript the syntax is @icon("res://path.svg") with class_name.

Coming soon at @thegodotbarn.com , ultra-simple small terrain generation (based on FastNoise). Script + Shader. This example is a 128x128 terrain with a bicubic Bezier interpolation vertex shader to smooth. #GodotEngine #gdscript #glsl #indiegamedev #GodotTips

Hey #godottips, remember: if you have a texture with normal and specular maps for lighting and result is just dark gray even with a light, your light's height is probably too low for the maps' generated height. 🌠

Been working with the #GodotSteam addon for #GodotEngine and noticed that one of my very frequent tips regarding properly utilizing your project settings in Godot is particularly helpful. Here's a #GodotTips thread on how.

Have you ever wonder how to draw textures in Godot?

I've just made a new tutorial on how to make your very own paint system. Check it out!

Glad to see someone made a Unity Hub equivalent for Godot which is really helpful for when you have to manage multiple projects in different versions!

Need to view .ogv nodes' video content directly in the #godotengine without playing the scene? Me too!

I made this #gdscript to play video in the pane directly, so now it is easy to know where video things really are: youtu.be/6qINKOMdOZU #godottips 📹🤖🎮

For my PlanarReflector, I've been playing with Compositors to hide underwater/intersection reflections. This was an annoying limitation of PlanarReflections. Still bugs to fix, but should be in the Asset Store shortly. Links below (if want to try it) #godot #GodotEngine #GodotTips #Gamedev #Indiedev

TIL that if you put something into the ResourceName field in #godot editor it actually changes it to that text, that way you're not staring at the same "ClassName" text and having to guess what it is 🤯

#godottips #godotengine #gamedevtips #gamedev
A standard view of an array of resources in Godot. There are 3 items in the array, each of them saying "ActionPhase". The nested view of the ActionPhase resource with arrows pointing at the default "ClassName" of ActionPhase that it shows. And another arrow at the bottom where it says "Resource/Name" with the text entered "Retreat!" Same as the first image where there are 3 items in an array in Godot but the last one says "Retreat!" instead of "ActionPhase" because the "Resource/Name" field was filled in. There is an arrow with an exclamation point pointing to the newly renamed item in the array. A view of the array in Godot with it saying "Move in...", "Attack/Deal Damage", and "Retreat!" respectively. Giving the developer a better understanding of what each Resource is meant for without having to open it up and look at what it's doing.

#Godottips: #Godot does not allow #gamedev to create infinite instantiated children scenes time loops. Good thing Daleks like me have no concept of worry. ⚡🪠
An image from Godot alert dialog complaining that gamedevs shouldn't infinitely nest instantiated scenes while the 4th Dr. Who looks on flabbergasted.

Asking #godottips!

What is this black magic visual shader editor that @jesscodes.bsky.social is using in #godot in her water ripple video? 🪄

Asking for a noob. 😳

here's my method for consolidating button logic in godot so that i don't have multiple _pressed() functions clogging up my script

While I was stress testing and playing around with procedural geometry in Godot, I found out you actually lose performance by calling floori() in gdscript.

And since discarding the decimal point is exactly what I want, I guess I'll just divide it normally then.

The #godot user map for California is starting to happen! Where are all the #LosAngeles users? Maybe #godottips can find the LA #gamedev communities using #godotengine? 🎥

Been tinkering with a 3D pixel art and a basic weather controller. 🌦️☀️❄️. Almost done with Grass, ToonShading Godrays and Clouds! Rain is next. If people like this, I'm considering a tutorial series. Heavily Inspired by @davidhol.land

Opened up the California #Godot users map for #gamedev in the Golden State can self-locate their studios. If you don't want to join the CA Discord Godot user group this can help us plan for future physical events. #godottips 🗺️

Some stuff that I've learned that makes coding so much easier

1. Use class_names when referencing nodes to let Godot autocorrect

2. When making a system, think of how it could expand

3. Custom resources are sick

4. autoloads...

#godottips discovery of the day: the focus style of a button is always an overlay, not a replacement. So you will see the normal state behind the focus texture if you use one. It will not replace it ! Always good to know 😀
