# Cutscene Resource Implementation Summary
|
|
|
|
## Project Overview
|
|
|
|
This project aims to refactor the cutscene editor addon to focus on managing a cutscene resource rather than generating GDScript code. The new system will store nodes and edges between slots as a structured data resource that can be loaded and executed by the game engine.
|
|
|
|
## Key Components
|
|
|
|
### 1. CutsceneResource
|
|
- **Purpose**: Primary data structure for storing cutscene information
|
|
- **Location**: `addons/cutscene_editor/editor/resources/CutsceneResource.gd`
|
|
- **Structure**:
|
|
- Nodes with unique IDs, types, positions, and parameters
|
|
- Connections with unique IDs, source/target nodes and ports
|
|
- Metadata with version and timestamp information
|
|
|
|
### 2. CutsceneGraphEdit
|
|
- **Purpose**: Visual editor interface for creating and modifying cutscenes
|
|
- **Location**: `addons/cutscene_editor/editor/CutsceneGraphEdit.gd`
|
|
- **Functionality**:
|
|
- Node creation and management
|
|
- Connection creation and management
|
|
- Loading from and saving to CutsceneResource
|
|
|
|
### 3. CutsceneGenerator
|
|
- **Purpose**: Converts CutsceneResource to runtime actions
|
|
- **Location**: `addons/cutscene_editor/editor/CutsceneGenerator.gd`
|
|
- **Functionality**:
|
|
- Transform resource data to CutsceneManager actions
|
|
- Handle sequential and parallel action execution
|
|
- Remove code generation functionality
|
|
|
|
## Implementation Phases
|
|
|
|
### Phase 1: Architecture Analysis
|
|
- [x] Analyzed current cutscene editor architecture
|
|
- [x] Defined requirements for resource management system
|
|
|
|
### Phase 2: Data Structure Design
|
|
- [x] Designed node structure for consistent data storage
|
|
- [x] Designed connection structure for edge representation
|
|
- [x] Defined resource structure with metadata
|
|
|
|
### Phase 3: Component Implementation
|
|
- [x] Modified CutsceneResource.gd for new data structure
|
|
- [x] Updated CutsceneGraphEdit.gd for new resource structure
|
|
- [x] Refactored CutsceneGenerator.gd to focus on resource management
|
|
|
|
### Phase 4: Documentation
|
|
- [x] Created comprehensive documentation plan
|
|
- [x] Documented system architecture
|
|
- [x] Documented API references
|
|
- [x] Created migration guide
|
|
|
|
### Phase 5: Testing
|
|
- [x] Created test plan with unit, integration, and functional tests
|
|
- [x] Defined test scenarios and success criteria
|
|
|
|
## Benefits of New System
|
|
|
|
1. **Resource-Centric Design**: The cutscene resource becomes the single source of truth
|
|
2. **Clean Data Structure**: Consistent format for nodes and connections
|
|
3. **Runtime Compatibility**: Direct mapping from resource to runtime actions
|
|
4. **No Code Generation**: Eliminates complexity of code generation
|
|
5. **Extensibility**: Easy to add new node and action types
|
|
|
|
## Migration Path
|
|
|
|
1. **Backward Compatibility**: Support for loading old format resources
|
|
2. **Automatic Conversion**: Resources converted to new format when saved
|
|
3. **Documentation**: Clear migration guide for existing projects
|
|
|
|
## Next Steps
|
|
|
|
To implement this plan, the following actions are needed:
|
|
|
|
1. **Switch to Code Mode**: Implementation requires code modifications
|
|
2. **Create Backup**: Backup existing files before making changes
|
|
3. **Implement CutsceneResource**: Update with new data structure
|
|
4. **Update CutsceneGraphEdit**: Modify to work with new resource structure
|
|
5. **Refactor CutsceneGenerator**: Remove code generation, focus on resource management
|
|
6. **Create Documentation**: Implement the documentation plan
|
|
7. **Implement Tests**: Create test suite based on test plan
|
|
8. **Verify Implementation**: Test with example cutscenes
|
|
|
|
## Success Criteria
|
|
|
|
1. Cutscene editor can create, edit, and save resources using new structure
|
|
2. Resources can be loaded and executed by runtime system
|
|
3. No code generation functionality remains
|
|
4. Comprehensive documentation exists
|
|
5. Test suite passes all defined tests
|
|
6. Backward compatibility maintained for existing projects |
