Updating maps in 4.5 isn't updating in game?

[elvisish]

When updating a map using "Build Meshes", the map changes in the editor, but it appears the same when the game is run until the tscn is closed and reloaded again.

[elvisish]

Here's an example in 4.4 of it updating immediately:

works.instantly.mp4

Here's 4.5:

doesnt.work.mp4

[elvisish]

It seems to work if you manually save the scene before pressing run. I tested some simple MeshInstance3D shapes and they change without manually pressing save, so it seems to be a TBLoader issue.

Thanks, I'll take a look 👍

Thanks, I'm not sure which end is causing this so I opened an issue: godotengine/godot#104688

If you find anything out, please let me know and I can update the issue.

Did you manage to find anything? It would be nice if TBloader worked in 4.5, I'm just not sure what's causing this problem.

Did you ever find a soluiton? Or atleast a temporary work around? Saving the scene doesn't seem to be doing anything form me, I have to wait around before anything changes.

Unfortunately, I never did. Regrettably, I've had to go against my every natural instinct and switch to func_godot and deal with it's convoluted way of making fgd entities just so that I can guarantee things will work into 4.5 and beyond. There never seemed to be much traction with the issue I opened: godotengine/godot#104688 so I could only really suggest sticking with 4.4 if you intend to keep using TBLoader.

Also, here's a fork of TBLoader that might be of use: https://github.com/elim2g/godot-tbloader/tree/turnt

Thanks for you answer! I will definitely check out the fork. But I have the same issue with func godot unfortunately. It loads in the editor but not in game.

Did you save your scene?

@elvisish mentions that it works when you save the scene, which I have also noticed when using func_godot. This might be some "dirty" flag we're missing which maybe func_godot is also missing. I would recommend pointing out this issue to func_godot if you haven't done so yet.

Note that TBLoader will be archived soon in favor of func_godot, and I will probably do so later this week. (See also: #75 (comment))

Yeah, I believe I had to train my hand to alt+s and it would work, similar to how you have to save after changing project settings.
