Godot 4 update

[Kallel181]

Would be really nice to have this plugin working on Godot 4, and i think it wouldn't be many changes on it.

Sure, I'm on it!

Alright, so it looks like it should be possible to port everything.

Godot 4.0 gives me quite a bit of trouble with issues not directly related to the plugin though. The ever-present Transient parent has another exclusive child. renders activating the addon impossible, which it looks like is getting fixed with godotengine/godot#73365 in Godot 4.1?

So if I'm not mistaken about that, I will wait until that is sorted out.

Also, my Linux machine seemingly does not support Vulkan and executing with OpenGL3 has not been working either. Maybe that will resolve itself, too.

Until then, if somebody else is keen on porting the plugin to Godot 4, feel free to!

I trying to do it myself
I have done some work
but I'm not confident about it yet

[BlazeKowe]

I can get the plugin to build and load
but it isn't working correctly in the sample
I'll post some news when I do some more research

Hi @BlazeKowe! That is very kind of you, thanks. I have tried again with 4.0.3 myself, but still without success. Please do keep us updated :^)

Hi there, have you been able to acheive the Godot 4 update?

[lennart-finke]

Hello @MartinVacheron and thank you for your interest as well. It looks like Godot 4.1 already plays a bit nicer than 4.0 judging by my first look at it. I will see if I can make some progress tomorrow.

[lennart-finke]

OK folks, problem solved. I'll commit and update the Godot Add-On repository shortly. Hope you enjoy GodoTeX for Godot 4!

Thank you!!

Edit: just tried it, it works juste fine in Godot_4.2_dev2 on Windows. Thanks again!
