The developers/aurelien sandbox scenes still reference legacy non-LOD
mesh paths (sm_book.mesh, sm_candlestick.mesh, ...) that don't exist
anymore — the production scenes were migrated to *_lod0/1/2.mesh.
Godot's full-project file scanner reads every .tscn at editor open
and emits 'Cannot open file' errors for each broken ext_resource,
even for scenes that the game never loads.
Mark developers/ as out-of-scope for Godot's filesystem walker with
a .gdignore at its root. The .import / .uid sidecars Godot had
generated for files inside (CheckLightmap.exr.import,
CheckLightmap.gd.uid) are auto-removed by the editor since they are
now orphaned metadata — only the source files (.tscn, .gd, .exr,
.lmbake) remain. Re-enabling the sandbox later just means deleting
the .gdignore; Godot will regenerate the sidecars.
The other diffs in this commit are Godot 4 canonicalising whatever
.tscn / .tres files were touched in the editor session that ran the
LightmapGI bake attempt: ext_resource uid= attributes added, format
bumped 2 -> 3, property order normalised. No behavioural change.

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.
