It's a generalized mod loader for GDScript-based Godot games.

The mod loader provides a convenient solution for users to create and distribute mods for your games in the form of zipped files/resource packs. The key feature is the ability to modify existing scripts without altering and redistributing the original game files.

Yes, we will port to Godot 4 soon. There hasn't been any demand for it yet, since the main games using it are on 3.5

Two larger godot games that are using it currently are Brotato and Dome Keeper

Are there any pointers or resources you can give me to start out that can point me to the right direction to learn GDScript? I have no experience in coding in general and I’m looking to get started with Godot and using GDScript. Thank you.

I'm new to 3D and only messed with 2D before. Now I am trying to make a little game (or at least project) to learn. I added a skybox and got a texture from poly haven. This gray seam appeared and I have no idea why. I tried another texture just in case, but that also wasn't the source of the problem

This is the shader code I've got from a tutorial

shader_type sky;
uniform sampler2D skyTexture;
void sky() {
	COLOR = texture(skyTexture, vec2(SKY_COORDS.x + TIME / 500.0, SKY_COORDS.y)).rgb;	
}

Using Godot 4.0.3 stable
Does anyone know what the issue is? Thanks in advance

So I've been slowly implementing basic multiplayer to a demo project of mine, currently nothing special. I've made a few games in singleplayer and have a decent grasp on the engine in that regard, and so far things are going well with my demo project. Outside of Godot I have limited experience in networking, and often when studying multiplayer I read comments in regards on how some people will try to use games to compromise other users PC's and it's made me paranoid on continuing to learn how to develop multiplayer games.

Before I become dedicated in attempting to make a multiplayer game, I wanted to know some not-so-obvious do's and don'ts you may have in regards to creating a multiplayer game? I understand you want to put as much as you can behind the server and to trust the client as little as possible, but is there more to it than that? What are some ways to avoid making a product that can compromise user's computers? Are the official starter documentation guides to developing multiplayer games in Godot safe ways to begin a multiplayer project? I worry that because I am not savvy enough with networking that I will miss something fundamental and cause harm to hypothetical/potential players.

Thanks for any response

11 hour long tutorial where he goes over pretty much all basic aspects of the engine

Welcome to Showcase Sunday!

Are you making anything in Godot? Feel free to discuss it below or show off your progress!

I set up a PeerTube channel to sync with my YouTube channel. Everything is importing as of writing, but I wanted to share so people who are opposed to YouTube can still watch my videos. Feel free to drop a follow! I'd really appreciate it!

I'd prefer to schedule this post so it pops up right as the video premieres... But I guess this is just as good?

It's this time of the year! Godot Community Poll 2023 is now out!

I just released the third major version of my yuzu early access manager, which includes the ability to install and update yuzu early access in addition to some basic QOL tools and a mod manager for your yuzu games. It is made entirely in Godot and C#.

Changes

• Big mod manager refactor to now use custom classes and save the installed mods list
• Support for multiple sources when getting mods (currently the yuzu wiki and bananamods, with ZeldaTOTK holo planned next)
• New settings page to easily reset your settings and installed mods file incase of corruption
• New mod search bar
• Mod download progress and input locking when installing mods
• Better async support
• Lots of bug fixes and cleaning

P.S: I am looking at renaming it, since it is now quite a bit more than just a GUI for managing pineapple builds, any recommendations? Or should I just leave it as is.

Welcome to Feedback Friday! This is a day all about getting feedback on your projects.

Have a scene in your game that you want to know if it looks good? Have a mechanic prototype that you want tested? Want to know if your steam page is good? Or do you want feedback on some other part of your game? Feel free to post them below for others to give feedback!

Like stated in the title I started a YouTube channel a while ago but due to personal reasons I hadn't time/energy for this lately.

This was the first Video I uploaded, still in 3.x but I think a lot of this is still relevant for 4.x

I'm planning of a "what I've done in the meantime" video but not sure yet.

So ive been told many time sto use godot becasue its for low end computers and it like unity but not. the thing is im not sure where to start or even whihc version of godot would be best to use. there another thing si cant code like at all i usally look up some code or let chatgpt do the wrok or expalin things to me but its usally not too good in that department. but i really want to make a video game and im not sure why or even how to start or what i should make, becasue i keep coming up with ideas that are way to complex.
