gdProject

NinStar's gdProject

A collection of add-ons for the Godot Engine. ➜ github.com/ninstar/gdProject

Add-ons

Once an add-on is enabled, its documentation can be accessed directly from the Godot IDE (F1).

  • NinePatchSprite2D - A Node2D that displays a texture by keeping its corners intact, but tiling its edges and center.
  • RangeContainer - A ScrollContainer that can be controlled by external Range nodes.
  • RemoteContainer - RemoteContainer pushes its own transform to another Control derived node in the scene.
  • ResourceOverrider - A node that replaces Resources on-the-fly using suffixes.
  • StateMachine Nodes - A set of Finite State Machine nodes for organizing and processing logic.
  • Icon AudioSyncPlayer Nodes - A set of Audio Player nodes that can be synchronized.

Examples

Every add-on in the repository has an example scene, just open the project in Godot and run it (F5).

Example scene

All example scenes are self-contained as part of their own submodules and can be easily transferred to any other project.

Introducing gdProject

Image
It's been a while since my last post, hasn't it? I just want to say that although I was (and still am) quite busy working on multiple things, I didn't put this blog aside. I've been tweaking a lot of things here and there and making sure all pages were up to date during this period. This blog still remains an essential part of my online presence. With that out of the way, let's dive into today's topic. About gdProject If you are a long time follower of mine on social medias you are probably aware that in early 2022 my friendship with GameMaker ended and Godot became my best friend for reasons that were partially reverted way too late . After getting familiar with the engine itself and feeling comfortable using its scripting language, I decided to make something similar to yyProjects , but for Godot! A handful of add-ons in this repository were originally designed to help me develop UniStudio (If you've been living under a rock, I ported the game f

UniMaker DX source code is now public!

Image
The source code for UniMaker DX (the version with the pixel art UI) is now available on my GitHub : https://github.com/ninstar/UniMaker Since I started the transition to UniStudio some people have asked me if I would make the source code for UniMaker DX public, as it is considerably different from UniStudio and previous versions. I said that I would eventually do, so here we are. 🎵 I haven’t done this sooner because I didn’t have enough free time to go through my entire commit history (which is pretty huge if you ask me). 💦 As this is just the source code, keep in mind that it is not meant for most users. In addition to that, the link above does not include the source code for UniStudio, it is still being worked on its own repository. UniMaker 1.S is still the latest stable version. It is preferable that you use that version to create and share your courses.

Play Sonic Mania on the Wii U

Yep, that's exactly what the title says. 🦔 A few days ago I tweeted a video where I show Sonic Mania Plus running on my Wii U. Sonic Mania Plus on the Wii U. pic.twitter.com/wCZoENQCLy — NinStar (@ninstarxt) August 27, 2022 This tweet gained quite a lot of traction, so let's talk about it in details. The people behind the project First of all, I must say that this was only made possible thanks to the incredible work done by Clownacy in porting the source code of the Sonic Mania decompilation to the Wii U, as well as Rubberduckycoly and MGRich for making the decompilation project. You can check the source code on GitHub . It is worth noting that there is also another port being made by Radfordhound , his port is going to bring GX2 rendering, which should fix the lag on Special Stages, and support for more controllers. You can see more on his Twitter profile. In the meantime, a fun weekend project: I ported the absolutely incredible decompilation of Sonic Mania
