Introduction

This editor plugin adds an option in Project Settings for a default Environment resource used when editing 2D scenes. This allows you to directly see how something will look in your main/world scene, without having to copy paste the WorldEnvironment node into the new scene you're working on.

Details

This plugin is meant to fix a discrepancy in functionality in the Godot engine. Currently, there exists a setting for a default Environment resource to be used only in the 3D editor. Hence why this plugin exists and specifies it's for 2D.

This plugin works by adding a WorldEnvironment node with the specified Environment resource to every scene you look at. This node isn't visible in the SceneTree, and it is not saved.

• The Environment resource used is specified in Project Settings > Rendering > Environment > 2d Default Environment
• This plugin does not add a WorldEnvironment node to a scene if one is already present.
• This plugin does not add WorldEnvironment nodes to 3D nor empty scenes.

This plugin is lightweight, and only does something when you switch scenes.
