vim-godot VS Godot-Mixing-Desk

You can run a godot scene without the editor open. I use an editor plugin to do that. However, you'd have to create a scene with a node or setup an autoload in the editor. But then you'd have a code entry point. Godot would get you physics and scenes, and in my limited experience Godot seems capable of being very code driven. But there's tons of features that I don't know how you'd use without the editor (animations).

I followed the instructions on both the vim-godot GitHub and this article, yet I can't get any files to open in Neovim. I can get Neovim to execute scenes in Godot, so clearly they can communicate. Was there any more I needed to do beyond these simple steps outlined for the plugin?

I think if I can't figure a way to stop Godot from opening the script file in its editor, I'll go with this: https://github.com/habamax/vim-godot

As for adaptive music, there used to be Godot Mixing Desk, but it hasn't been maintained for a while. I've seen some small projects pop out here and there, I'm waiting to see if there'll be a conclusive one for Godot 4. In the meanwhile I might try FMod.

Absolutely! Mixing Desk might be up your alley. I also have a version for 4.0 in progress, which is a total rewrite and condenses all the features down into a single node.

https://github.com/kyzfrintin/Godot-Mixing-Desk maybe something like this can be useful? loudness jump can most likely be fixed my normalizing the raw audio in any audio editor though.

As I said, I'm only small time. Super small time. My main project is a Godot Engine plugin, Mixing Desk. My only motivation on this was to help bring extra procedural/interactive audio and music features to Godot, and help make it easier for others to do the same.

Also, I'd recommend modulating your music to reflect the state of your detection. This is easily done with my plugin, mixing desk ;). Something simple like a drumbeat could fade in if you're close to being spotted, to add tension.

Take a look a this plugin https://github.com/kyzfrintin/Godot-Mixing-Desk

Some nice added benefits are an open source behaviour tree system (https://github.com/andrew-wilkes/godot-behaviour-tree), an open source audio solution (https://github.com/kyzfrintin/Godot-Mixing-Desk), the Tween nodes, being able to animate material properties, a functioning navmesh (again, 3D issues on Unity's front; 2D ports don't support side view), no need for weird lighting setups between 2D and 3D, faster scripting with gdscript, the Line2D node (which I use to render and bend the body of the wormy creatures in our latest tweet), and generally just the fact that all transforms are in 2D without needing to worry that my scene view is playing tricks on me.

It's a shameless plug, but if you ever run into any issues with FMOD, my Mixing Desk plugin can handle interactive music like that pretty easily! Adaptive/interactive music is something I've studied for years, and I put it all into that plugin :)

Have you heard of or considerd trying out Godot Mixing Desk? :)

I made one of these :)
