2022-07-26[Net] Modularize multiplayer, expose MultiplayerAPI to extensions.Fabio Alessandrelli
- RPC configurations are now dictionaries. - Script.get_rpc_methods renamed to Script.get_rpc_config. - Node.rpc[_id] and Callable.rpc now return an Error. - Refactor MultiplayerAPI to allow extension. - New MultiplayerAPI.rpc method with Array argument (for scripts). - Move the default MultiplayerAPI implementation to a module.
2022-04-26[Net] Allow branch-specific MultiplayerAPIs.Fabio Alessandrelli
Removes custom_multiplayer from Node. MultiplayerAPI overrides are now set at SceneTree level, and apply to whole branches. Impact on performance when using only the default multiplayer or overriding it is minimal, the use of branches can likely be further optimized by caching nodes and relevant MultiplayerAPI IDs.
2022-02-15Add an XML schema for documentationHugo Locurcio
This makes it easier to spot syntax errors when editing the class reference. The schema is referenced locally so validation can still work offline. Each class XML's schema conformance is also checked on GitHub Actions.
2022-02-05[Net] Move RPC, Node cache out of MultiplayerAPI.Fabio Alessandrelli
Now uses two interfaces so it can be overridden in the future, and core no longer depends on Node. The interfaces are implements in scene/multiplayer. Replaces root_node with root_path. Remove all Node references from MultiplayerAPI.
2022-02-04[Net] New replication interface, spawner and synchronizer nodes.Fabio Alessandrelli
Initial implementation of the MultiplayerReplicationInterface and its default implementation (SceneReplicationInterface). New MultiplayerSpawner node helps dealing with instantiation of scenes on remote peers (e.g. clients). It supports both custom spawns via a `_spawn_custom` virtual function, and optional auto-spawn of known scenes via a TypedArray<PackedScenes> property. New MultiplayerSynchornizer helps synchronizing states between the local and remote peers, supports both sync and spawn properties and is configured via a `SceneReplicationConfig` resource. It can also sync via path (i.e. without being spawned by a MultiplayerSpawner if both peers has it in tree, but will not send the spawn state in that case, only the sync one.

2021-09-08Multiplayer networking renames/simplificationMax Hilbrunner
Removes _networking_ prefix from some methods and members, now that multiplayer has been largely moved out of Node and SceneTree and is seperated into its own set of classes.
2021-09-07[Net] Move multiplayer to core subdir, split RPCManager.Fabio Alessandrelli
Move multiplayer classes to "core/multiplayer" subdir. Move the RPCConfig and enums (TransferMode, RPCMode) to a separate file (multiplayer.h), and bind them to the global namespace. Move the RPC handling code to its own class (RPCManager). Renames "get_rpc_sender_id" to "get_remote_sender_id".
2021-08-30[Net] Rename RPC "puppet" to "auth" (authority). Drop "master".Fabio Alessandrelli
This commit completely removes the RPC_MODE_MASTER ("master" keyword), and renames the RPC_MODE_PUPPET to RPC_MODE_AUTHORITY ("auth" keyword). This commit also renames the "Node.[get|set]_network_master" methods to "Node.[get|set]_network_authority". This commit also renames the RPC_MODE_REMOTE constant to RPC_MODE_ANY. RPC_MODE_MASTER in Godot 3.x meant that a given RPC would be callable by any puppet peer on the master, while RPC_MODE_PUPPET meant that it would be callable by the master on any puppet. Beside proving to be very confusing to the user (referring to where it could be called instead of who can call it) the RPC_MODE_MASTER is quite useless. It is almost the same as RPC_MODE_REMOTE (anyone can call) with the exception that the network master cannot. While this could be useful to check in some case, in such a function you would anyway need to check in code who is the caller via get_rpc_sender_id(), so adding the check there for those rare cases does not warrants a dedicated mode.
2021-08-18[Net] MultiplayerReplicator with initial state.Fabio Alessandrelli
Move the former "spawnables" functions to a dedicated MultiplayerReplicator class. Support custom overrides in replicator. Spawn/despawn messages can now contain a state. The state can be automatically encoded/decoded by passing the desired object properties to `spawnable_config`. You can use script properties to optimize the state representation. 2 Callables can be also specified to completely override the default implementation for sending and receiving the spawn/despawn event. (9 bytes overhead, and there's room for improvement here). When using a custom implementation `spawn` and `despawn` can be called with any Object, `send_spawn`/`send_despawn` can receive any Variant as a state, and the path is not required. Two new functions, `spawn` and `despawn`, convey the implementation independent method for requesting a spawn/despawn of an Object, while `send_spawn` and `send_despawn` represent the more low-level send event for a Variant to be used by the custom implementations.
2021-08-09[Net] Basic extensible MultiplayerAPI spawn/despawn.Fabio Alessandrelli
`PackedScene`s can be configured to be spawnable via a new `MultiplayerAPI.spawnable_config` method. They can be configured either to be spawned automatically when coming from the server or to always require verification. Another method, `MultiplayerAPI.send_spawn` lets you request a spawn on the remote peers. When a peer receive a spawn request: - If it comes from the server and the scene is configured as `SPAWN_MODE_SERVER`: - Spawn the scene (instantiate it, add it to tree). - Emit signal `network_spawn`. - Else: - Emit signal `network_spawn_request`. In a similar way, `despawn`s are handled automatically in `SPAWN_MODE_SERVER`. In `SPAWN_MODE_SERVER`, when a new client connects it will also receive, from the server all the spawned (and not yet despawned) instances.
2021-07-30[Net] Implement RPC channels in MultiplayerAPI.Fabio Alessandrelli
2021-07-30doc: Use self-closing tags for `return` and `argument`Rémi Verschelde
For the time being we don't support writing a description for those, preferring having all details in the method's description. Using self-closing tags saves half the lines, and prevents contributors from thinking that they should write the argument or return documentation there.
2021-07-20[Net] Single `rpc` annotation. "sync" no longer part of mode.Fabio Alessandrelli
- Move the "sync" property for RPCs to RPCConfig. - Unify GDScript annotations into a single one: - `@rpc(master)` # default - `@rpc(puppet)` - `@rpc(any)` # former `@remote` - Implement three additional `@rpc` options: - The second parameter is the "sync" option (which also calls the function locally when RPCing). One of "sync", "nosync". - The third parameter is the transfer mode (reliable, unreliable, ordered). - The third parameter is the channel (unused for now).

2021-06-01[Net] Refactor RPCs, remove RSETsFabio Alessandrelli
In this PR: - Removed rset - rpc_config can now optionally configure transfer mode (reliable/unreliable/ordered) and channel (channels are not actually implemented yet.) - Refactor how the RPC id is computed to minimize the logic in Node and scripts that now only needs a single `get_rpc_methods` function.

2020-02-13Remove deprecated PacketPeer allow_object_decodingRémi Verschelde
It was added for 3.2 in #27485 to preserve backwards compatibility, but we can now remove it. It is still needed in MultiplayerAPI as it's the only way to control it for the internal put_var calls.

Those keywords were deprecated for 3.1 in #22087. Also fix token name for `TK_REMOTE`, should be "remote" like the keyword.

We already removed it from the online docs with #35132. Currently it can only be "Built-In Types" (Variant types) or "Core" (everything else), which is of limited use. We might also want to consider dropping it from `ClassDB` altogether in Godot 4.0.

2018-06-03Add option to disable automatic multiplayer pollFabio Alessandrelli
Automatic poll from SceneTree is enabled by default. This allows for polling (and thus RPCs/RSETs) manually in other loops (e.g. physics, thread, specific step) and for proper mutex protecion when accessing the multiplayer API from threads (e.g. for sending larger files in chunks).
