v2.0

Features

• Scene change and setting properties from previous scene.
• Scene background loading.
• Multiple custom loading screens.
• Resource references that load in the background.
• Scene transitions
• Animated modals

v1.4

Godot versions: 4.2.x, 4.3.x.

Now it supports for multiple loading screens. You can set three types:

• DEFAULT
• PERSIST
• ONE SHOT

New methods in SceneManager autoload:

• set_loading_screen
• set_loading_screen_from_packed
• reset_loading_screen

Also, append_dependency is renamed to append_resource. I think it is better name because only resource are loaded with ResourceLoader in the backaground.

v1.3

Now it supports extra resources loading in the background to add them to next scene properties. See SceneManager.append_dependency.

var ref := SceneManager.append_dependency("my_character_data.tres")
SceneManager.change_scene_to_file("my_scene.tscn", {
    characters = [
        ref,
    ],
}, 1.0)
