The latest version includes a few new enhancements, and an experiment: The sequencer demo uses inventory instances to hold music notes, which can be played back. This was inspired by music trackers that were popular in the 90s, such as Scream Tracker and Impulse Tracker. The sequencer isn’t meant to be a production-ready digital audio workstation replacement. It’s a proof of concept, but it does show off the flexibility of the inventory system.
I’ve transcribed a track I created in Ableton Live about a decade ago. This is included in the Inventory System demo project:
The features:
Added a GGInventorySimpleUI with fewer bells and whistles.
GGInventory now supports multiple sorting strategies, which the UI automatically picks up
Stack splitting with middle mouse button or action input
A new sequencer demo that uses inventories to hold track notes in item data.
Of course, we also have bug fixes:
Expiration extension handles scenes without an owner (such as dynamically assembled scenes)
Inventory allows setting the scroll container’s custom minimum size
The Inventory UI correctly selects the configured view upon start
The Inventory System Deep Dive and Architecture Guide helps game developers implement advanced multiplayer inventories using Godot Engine. The PDF Guide contains over 500 pages of code walkthroughs, diagrams, and explains concepts related to inventories, items, and more.
Godot’s resources are quite powerful. However, modifying a resource class doesn’t automatically update any corresponding .tres files, unless you happen to edit a scene that uses that resource in some way. This doesn’t impact runtime behavior — the game still runs as expected. But it can impact version control and result in a messier diff …
A smaller update. The inventory components now have custom icons to make it easier to tell them apart. This release also includes additional bug fixes:
Godot-matcha is an addon that lets you use WebRTC for multiplayer games by handling matchmaking using WebTorrent trackers. Conceptually it’s quite an interesting, novel approach. WebTorrent uses a modified BitTorrent protocol that allows it to work with WebSockets. A WebTorrent tracker is essentially a directory service that keeps track of torrents offered by users. A …
