Druid 1.2.0

release_1_2_0

He-he-hello! It’s a new Druid update! Not so many big changes this time, but a lot of small improvements and fixes!

The Asset Store extension is now available and contains a Druid Widget Store! There is a place where we can all share our widgets and easily install them in your projects. It’s not a dependency and these widgets will be downloaded as files, so you can easily edit and adjust them for your needs. It also reduces the risk of breaking something while updating the Druid library, since these files become a part of your project.

This new Druid Widget Store contains several widgets, like the previously included widgets (properties_panel, fps_panel, memory_panel, mini_graph). Also it contains some new widgets, like on_screen_joystick, external_image, tiling_node and others. You can inspect live example of each widget, for example on_screen_joystick

The Druid Color module is now available! It’s a module which contains various color functions and utilities, plus palette management. If you wish you can use it to convert hex colors easily and also use a nice color lerp function.

I also finally had time to go through Druid’s issues to make some fixes and improvements.

Thanks for the attention and your support!

Changelog 1.2.0

  • [Widgets] Removed all included widgets from the Druid library. Now you need to install them from the Druid Asset Store extension.
    • Read the migration section below to learn how to migrate to the new widgets.
  • [Color] :artist_palette: Add Druid Color module
    • Use local color = require("druid.color") to access the module
    • Use color.get_color(color_id) to get color by ID from palette, hex string, or return vector as-is.
    • Use color.set_color(gui_node, color_id) to set color to the GUI node directly, not touching the alpha channel.
    • Use color.lerp(t, color1, color2) to interpolate between two colors using HSB space (better visual results than RGB).
    • Use color.add_palette(palette_data) to add colors to the palette. Colors can be hex strings or vector4 values.
    • And various conversion functions between colors.
    • Palette can be loaded at init step from the JSON file by path druid.palette_path in your game.project file.
  • [Layout] Add layout:set_position_function function, similar to the Grid component
  • [Scroll] Add scroll:scroll_to_make_node_visible function
    • This scrolls to the element so it will be visible in the scroll view. If the element is already visible, nothing will happen.
  • [Blocker] Fix for internal is_enabled state
    • Before, if the blocker node was disabled at init step and then enabled later, it kept the internal is_enabled state as false and had to be fixed by calling blocker:set_enabled(true) to make it work. Now it’s fixed and the blocker will work as expected.
  • [Button] Expose all click functions for the button
    • Now you can call the button:button_click(), button:button_double_click(), button:button_long_click() etc.
  • [Container] Fix for container stretch mode
    • stretch and fit were not initialized correctly in the init function arguments
  • [Rich Text] Using color names from the palette
  • [Rich Text] Add rich_text:set_split_to_characters(true) to split each letter node separately
    • With this option, each letter will be a separate node, which can be useful for some animations or other effects.
    • Example: Druid 1.2.0
  • [Rich Text] Add set_width and set_height functions
  • [Rich Text] Add rich_text:set_pivot function to adjust the alignment of the text inside the text area.
  • [Slider] Add slider:set_end_pos function to adjust the end position of the slider
  • [System] Migrated to gui.cancel_animations instead of gui.cancel_animation
  • [Examples] Add more Rich Text examples
  • [GO Widgets] Now passes events in addition to functions from the widget to the GO context
  • #286 Fix style button on_disabled call in HTML5 button mode
  • #289 Multiple Input field management + fixes on web input component.
    • Fix for Button on_click_outside event. It should now always be triggered on user click. Before, it did not always trigger when input was consumed by some other component.
  • #291 Add on_init for button and input style callback
    • Using this style callback, you can add additional fields which can be used in other style callbacks for more flexibility.
  • #297 Rich input hover animation fix for rich_input:select() function.
  • #316 Button on_hold_callback can now be used without on_long_click callback
    • Before, the hold callback was required to be used with on_long_click callback. Now it’s not required and can be used alone.
    • If hold_callback exists, the user can press and hold the button to trigger the hold callback.
    • The button’s usual callback will not be triggered in this case.
    • If both on_long_click and on_hold_callback callbacks exist, the user can press and hold the button to trigger the hold callback until the long click callback is triggered (time is adjusted by AUTOHOLD_TRIGGER style parameter).
  • #320 Set inherit alpha for rich text images to true by default
  • #329 Allow numeric characters in RichText tags
  • #333 Add settings to enable/disable Editor Scripts for the Druid
  • #335 Add slider default steps into slider’s style

Druid Widget Store

All Druid widgets were moved from the Druid library to the Druid Asset Store extension.
Several more widgets were also added to the Asset Store extension. Check it out!

Migration

If you are using the properties_panel, fps_panel, memory_panel, mini_graph widgets, you need to migrate to the Druid Asset Store extension.

To do that you should open the Asset Store extension and install them. After that you need to update GUI paths and require paths from druid.widget.* to widget.*
