- BPython: finishing object and nmesh .setMaterials commit, fixing two bugs. Also fixed a crash with object.track (pointer wasn't checked for validity). All based on reports and patch by Yann Vernier, thanks again.
-- splash screen disappeared (duh, I did that!) and Blender quits upon exiting from some 225 games:
It was troublesome to find how to run demos in general with the screen correctly redrawn before they started, etc. Ended up making the above error in screenmain(). About the games, I don't have them and will need some time to get the files for testing, but I'll do it, though only on linux.
BPython:
-- Window: added GetScreens, SetScreen and improved GetScreenInfo.
-- Object, NMesh: updated (added in NMesh) method getMaterials to return either only valid materials as before or also empty slots (as None). This previous omission can be considered a bug, since it made info about materials incomplete / incompatible with face mat indices. Thanks Yann Vernier for bringing this up and sending/proposing a patch that also fixed a bug related to assigning lists of materials with different lengths to obj and its mesh. setMaterials also accepts Py_None entries now, which become empty slots in Blender.
-- doc updates.
- hotkeys, obdatacopier and renameobjectbyblock, all from Jean-Michel Soler (jms);
- bevel_center by Loic Berthe, suggested for inclusion by jms;
- doc_browser, by Daniel Dunbar (Zr)
Thanks to them for the new contributions!
(I included doc_browser at 'Misc' because only users interested in script writing would actually use it, but it could also be under 'Help'. Opinions?)
BPython related:
- Added scriptlink methods to object, lamp, camera and world.
- Object: added object.makeTrack and object.clearTrack (old track method).
- sys: made sys.exists(path) return 0 for not found; 1 for file, 2 for dir and -1 for neither.
- doc updates and fixes.
- made ONLOAD event work. G.f's SCENESCRIPT bit was being zeroed in set_app_data.
- Blender: updated functions Load and Save to support the builtin importers and exporters besides .blend (dxf, videoscape, vrml 1.0, stl, ...)
- Draw: added mouse wheel events.
- Scene: added scene.play to play back animations (like ALT+A and SHIFT+ALT+A). Makes a good counter, too, when the 'win' attribute is set to a space that doesn't "animate".
The scene.play() addition and the fix to ONLOAD scriptlinks is part of the work for a Blender demo mode. It already works, but I'll still add support for Radiosity calculations and fix a thing in main(): it executes onload scripts too early (BIF_Init), giving funny results in alt+a animations and renderings when firing up Blender. Loading after the program is up has no such problems. When I finish I'll post examples of demo mode scripts.
- added function Blender.sys.exists(path) to check if a given file exists;
- forgot to mention: in my previous commit the blender.html file was also updated slightly.
-- Added two new functions to the Draw module, to display int and float popup buttons:
Both contributed by Campbell Barton, thanks!
-- Fixed a couple warnings.
- fixed two warnings, unused var in Object.c and undeclared function in script.c
- updated Blender.Draw doc, it was missing info about Button object
- refactored pytype initialization to try to fix for once platform (and distro!) specific crashes on startup. This asked for tiny updates in Effect.[ch] (removed static from declaration, moved definitions to the .c file) and modules.h
- fixed error I made trying to fix scripts w/ no [eol] char in menus. Thanks Michael Velikanje for reporting the problem!
-ability to set poses for the armatures - allows for keyframing armatures
-adds support for actions/actionchannels
-additional checking for addBone and clear parenting
-moved getActionIpos from object module to NLA module
* Typo fixed in IpoCurve_getInterpolation.
'Bonstant' was used, while 'Constant' is what we want.
* IpoCurve.getName now also returns curve names for action-IPOs.
* Update to the Object module:
Added obj.getTimeOffset() and obj.setTimeOffset() methods
Anders Nilsson has promissed me to provide some updated Python API docs :)
- support for quaternions, euler, vector, matrix operations.
- euler supports unique rotation calculation
- new matrix memory construction and internal functions
- quaternion slerp and diff calculation
- 2d, 3d, 4d vector construction and handling
- full conversion support between types
- update to object/window to reflect to matrix type
- update to types/blender/module to reflect new module
* Blender.Object.setDrawMode does not work. I had accidentally switched the
variables for setDrawMode and setDrawType. This implied that _both_
functions did not work correctly. The functions getDrawMode and getDrawType
use the correct variables.
- local tentative fix for BLI_gethome(), which returns '.blender' appended only
on some Windows systems. Created bpymenu_gethome() to check and
add '.blender' if needed.
- changed name: .Bpymenus to Bpymenus as suggested by GSR
- trivial additions:
Object module: added methods .set/getSize
Armature/Bone module: bone.set???() methods now accept both n
floats or a list of n floats: fff or (fff). All these additions were requested
by user Carlos Lopez (Klopes).
- New doc: for module Registry.
- NMesh.c added support for materials updating while converting a python NMesh to a Mesh object
- Object.c added support for materials updating in Link() and shareFrom() when two objects share a mesh linked to a material
- enabled all the Lattice methods in Object.c
- added Lattice types to Types.c
- add Lattice initialization to Blender.c
- updated makefile for new lattice file
- added Lattice.c/Lattice.h
- Fixed uninitialized NMFace.mode var in NMesh.c
- Incref'ed a couple Py_None's in Object.c
- Minor update in the docs, changed required version to 2.30
- Added "Radio" to Material modes
- Fixed bug in bone.getParent (bug report on blender.org py forum)
- Added more types to object.shareFrom (method to share obdata)
- Added nmesh.get/setMaxSmoothAngle and nmesh.get/setSubDivLevels
- Updated NMesh doc
modules.
* .setLocation(), .setDeltaLocation() and .setEuler() now can accept 3 floats
or a list of 3 floats.
This finally makes the following possible:
obj.setLocation (obj.getLocation())
obj.loc = obj.loc
Of course this applies to the other functions as well.
- Object: implemented getBoundBox and makeDisplayList methods
- NMesh and Object: small internal changes for nicer behavior
- Draw: added function PupMenu
- Docs: updated for the additions above
Auto build tiny fix: added the imbuf include dir to source/creator/Makefile.am
- Window: implemented .SetCursorPos, .GetViewMatrix, .GetViewVector
- Lamp: .setDist was not in the methods table:
Fix by new bpython developer Stephen Swaney
- Scene: .frameSettings was crashing Blender (pointed by jms)
- Added site dirs to sys.path (patch by Stephen Swaney)
- NMesh: small internal change (added pointer to parent object)
- Object: function NMesh_FromPyObject has a new arg: pointer to obj
- Docs: added docs for implemented functions, plus some more info
I must have been looking outside when writing those functions :) They
accessed the dloc values instead of the loc values. Doh
* Minor cleanup in Object.h
This crash was reported by Jean-Michel Soler (jms).
Problem was that I was trying to be a little too intelligent. I kept a
reference to created PyObjects which at some point apparently fails. Keeping
the object references is not necessary. Now we just create a new PyObject
when necessary and let Python handle the reference counts.
