Normal Map bool and the normal_space menu are only used for material based textures, not for textures used by lamp/world etc. Accidentally ported this over from 2.49, where these buttons are drawn even they don't work in that context.
* Textures applied to halo materials showed influence option for normal particles. This was really confusing, and with the cleanup I revealed a couple of hidden features too!
** Particles actually allow for textures to change halo size and hardness, but my guess is that nobody knew since the names were wrong in the ui!
** I also added the option to change the "add" value with a texture, since it was just silly not to have it.
* Halo material properties are also a bit cleaner now.
- This is working correctly but confusing, made more confusing by UI problems, corrected these and updated tooltop for 'tex.use_rgb_to_intensity'
- bad RNA arguments used for lamps (left over from RNA renaming).
- use isinstance(...), rather then comparing type() directly, this failed with lamp type checks.
- removed redundant argument to internal texture UI function factor_but().
- the texture color was drawn inactive when it was used in some cases.
Note. AFAIK its not possible to do a general check to see if a texture is colored or not, eg: its possible a plugin texture returns color in some cases and greyscale in others.
so for now always have color button active.
layout.prop_object() --> prop_search().
The internal name is uiItemPointerR, in python this can translate into into an Object, however this is misleading.
It can be confused with a blender Object and uiItemPointerR can also be used for strings.
changed some rna names to be more consistant
- use_texture -> use_image, since it sets if 'image' is used.
- use_map_color_diff -> use_map_color_diffuse since diffuse is used elsewhere in the same type.
Changed some names when applying.
- render was use_render, changed to show_viewport so call it show_render
- texface shadow was use_shadow_face, changed to use_shadow_cast since this only affects casting.
- transp was alpha_mode, changed to blend_type since its similar to other overlay blending where this property name is used.
* Fixed some panel ordering after recent register changes.
* Placed "Custom Props" to the bottom again, where possible
This fixes [#23171] Material context is messed up.
- re-arranged UI in a way that gave far too much vert scrolling.
- was added all over for simple things like making text="", layout engine should handle this.
- Ton and Brecht are ok with removing this now. Ton would like to work on the layout engine to make it better support these cases.
poll() function is now a static method in python, this is more correct, matching C where the operator is not created to run poll.
def poll(self, context): ...
is now...
@staticmethod
def poll(context): ...
Pythons way of doing static methods is a bit odd but cant be helped :|
This does make subclassing poll functions with COMPAT_ENGINES break, so had to modify quite a few scripts for this.
Communicate the existing material displacement feature's strange dependence on both
'normal' and 'displacement' influences better. This will do until the improved displacement
is merged from render branch.
*The narrowui value was hard coded in all ui scripts, made an user preferences option. Basically this value determines on which area width, it should switch between dual/single column layout.
ToDo: The Changes only take effect when reloading scripts/restarting Blender (after saving as default). Will maybe add the "Reload Scripts" operator next to the button in the future.
* Small fix for Fluid Add Button, when in single column mode. Didn't expand like the other "Add" Buttons.
after Make Single User
Was an error in UI display of node materials/texture lists, combined with a
very weird node setup.
I will be a very happy person the day we finally get rid of the terribly
confusing materials-inside-materials behaviour.
Made texture/texture slot context a bit less flaky when dealing with active material and
texture nodes inside a node material in the node editor. Now if the active material has
nodes enabled, and there are no active material/texture nodes inside it, nothing will be
shown in the texture properties (similar to 2.49).
Removed extra brush features that aren't applicable in some painting modes from the UI.
Would be great to have this properly cleaned up and made consistent.
Also tweak to startup blend, hiding brush tools panel.
Also removed some python code to check for node materials within the material and texture properties. It seems to go fine without it, and this should be handled by context instead.
* Fixed up RNA and UI
* Brought back 'Save' and 'Clear' operators (in the little triangle menu in
environment map properties)
* While I was at it, noticed that environment maps were only using 8bit
colour, changed it to use full 32bit float instead for proper HDR colour etc,
so environment map reflections have the correct colour range

This fixes [#20904] Environment Map does not render; also missing panel
