== Plugins ==

3D Text (Label3D)

• Hello! This is an addon built for Godot 3.1.x that adds 3D labels to your arsenal of nodes. It's just like a regular label, but in 3D! The addon simply adds a new node called Label3D that you can add anywhere in your 3D environment.

Audio Effect Inspector

• Audio Effects could be confusing to users who may be unfamiliar with the Audio Engineering environment and its tools. Looking at sliders with no visual feedback may seem a little daunting. This is where the Audio Effect Inspector comes in handy! It enables you to control your tools much easier with a graphical interface; like any VST plugin used in DAWs.

GDUnzip

• Gdunzip is a zip file browser/decompressor written entirely in a single GDScript file. You can use this in games you're building with the Godot game engine. This script is meant for modest zip decompressing purposes, since the inflate algorithm it contains isn't super fast and gdunzip doesn't do CRC checks of the uncompressed files. However, gdunzip works fine if you only need to decompress small files, or when your zip files contain precompressed files like png's.

Global Illumination 2D

• 2D global illumination implemented in the Godot game engine. I made it because I didn't find any examples of this sort of 2D rendering in Godot, and no examples in other engines that had publicly available code.

GPU TileMap

• This is a shader based tilemap alternative, tiles have the same width and height, maps are stored as image textures, for now the maps are saved in the scene

JSON Configuration File

• JSON Configuration File is a plugin for Godot that aims to aid reading user input via a JSON file. Using a JSON file as a way to configure your Godot application would allow your users to share configuration files. Minecraft is a remarkable example that uses JSON files to configure certain aspects of the game, such as block models.

The definition of JSON Schemas inspired this plugin. However, instead of using a JSON file to define the structure of a JSON, it takes a coding approach. This approach has the advantage of allowing more features.

Smart Audio Stream

• think a jumping audio with a duration of 1 sec but your player takes only .5s to do jumps, using the normal AudioStream it will cut the currently playing audio and start it again, with this plugin it knows if a sound is already playing and instead of cut and play again it will set another stream to play so you will hear the sounds without cutting them.

Sound Manager 3.0

• The Sound Manager gives the users a better control over the audio of their games. Using this plugin, it is possible to play every sound of the game using just simple method calls. No more long AudioStreamPlayer lists inside your scenes nor long methods to handle the audio inside every script. It also gives you a better control over the Background Music. The sounds will not stop between scenes anymore, giving you the power to stop it and play it whenever and however you want.

You don't have to worry about any binding logic. Just write your game scripts like you would for GDScript or C# but with all the syntactic sugar of kotlin.
