Godot 4 emits two unavoidable warnings every time it reconstructs a
Godot-3-authored VisualShader graph: 'graph_offset property is
deprecated' (the editor's pan position, removed in 4.x) and
'connect_nodes_forced: Index p_from_port = 1 is out of bounds'
(node-graph ports that no longer line up). The compiled GLSL inside
each ShaderMaterial is correct; only the graph reconstruction is
broken.
scripts/devisualize_shaders.gd walks every .material, .tres, and
.mesh under res:// and replaces ShaderMaterial.shader from
VisualShader to a plain Shader carrying the same .code. 15 materials
converted (font outline, dissolve, color tints, book/candle/godet/
growler/parchment/rock-floor/stool/table). Godot now loads the
compiled shader directly with no graph reconstruction → both
warnings gone, rendering identical.
Also:
- scripts/resave_scenes.gd: load + re-save every .tscn so inline
ArrayMesh sub-resources (notably WarCraft.tscn::17, the baked
floor) move from Godot-3 PoolByteArray to Godot-4 PackedByteArray
surface format. Silences 'Mesh uses old surface format'.
- scripts/find_visualshaders.gd: companion audit tool that lists
every Resource still backed by a VisualShader. Useful if new
legacy materials get added.
- Drop the now-orphan inline VisualShader / ShaderMaterial sub-
resources (id 1..17) from Summary.tscn. The PanelWood lost its
screen-blend tint material; a plain Panel renders fine and the
effect can be re-authored as a hand-written shader if wanted.
- Add releases/.gdignore and tighten .gitignore so Godot stops
warning 'Detected another project.godot at res://releases'. The
releases/ directory has its own placeholder project.godot which
Godot would otherwise flag at every editor open.

Address every warning that surfaced in the running game's debugger:
- Drop deprecated 'graph_offset = Vector2(...)' lines from the three
in-tree VisualShader resources (red.tres, green.tres,
Summary.tscn). The property is editor-only graph pan, ignored at
runtime but warns at load.
- Add android/.gdignore so Godot stops scanning the build template
copies of red.tres/green.tres (which still had graph_offset). Tighten
.gitignore to keep tracking the .gdignore marker only.
- Drop the broken 'nodes/fragment/connections = ...' line from the
inline VisualShader in Summary.tscn — connections referenced
out-of-bounds ports (e.g. port 1 on a 1-output node). The
pre-compiled 'code = ...' string is kept so rendering is unaffected.
- Drop the orphaned 'ext_resource WarCraft.lmbake' from WarCraft.tscn:
the LightmapGI node no longer references it but Godot still loaded
the (Godot-3-format) blob from the ext_resource declaration alone,
triggering '(p_data.size() % 4) != 0'.
- Animation tracks: SlideReset (Template.tscn), BorderAnim
(Loading.tscn), and ObjectFindAll (ListObjects.tscn) each had a
bezier track with empty PackedFloat32Array keys, which
AnimationMixer rejects in Godot 4. Drop the empty x track in each
(the y track held the actual motion).
- Re-save 57 .mesh files via scripts/migrate_misc.gd so the surface
format is the current Godot 4 variant. sm_stackgold.mesh in
particular triggered the deprecation warning every load.
GDScript: rename function parameters and locals that shadowed
Node.name / Node.value in:
- db/MScene.gd (set_lock, set_mesh, set_tick_reference, set_value)
- scripts/Setting.gd untouched (no shadow, false positive earlier)
- scenes/UI/choose_scenes/ChooseScene.gd (_load_scene, _build_path,
_build_method)
- scenes/levels/Levels.gd (_create_animation_slide,
_create_animation_warning, _add_animation_to_player,
_create_button_info, _node_object_list)
lod plugin: Godot 4 added 'lod_bias' as a native property on
VisualInstance3D, which collided with the plugin's 'lod_bias' member
across all five lod_*.gd files. Rename to 'lod_distance_bias' so the
scripts parse again. Also drop Light3D.shadow_color writes in
lod_omni_light.gd and lod_spot_light.gd — that property was removed
in Godot 4, so the related shadow_value computation became dead code.
