- converting nurbs to mesh was casting the material to unsigned char.
- subsurf was casting to char, then int -> short in a loop.
- have material functions take & return shorts.
also added a safety check for the crash, even though reverting fixes.
bmesh_to_mesh_exec() could set me->mface array to NULL but leave me->totface when notellelation=1, which is likely to give trouble elsewhere.
create a new parameter for materials.pop() to not remove material slot.
this way the mat_nr is still the old one.
for the default behaviour we now have material remapping (i.e. data_delete_material_index_id(id, index)).
This new function is brought from the material_slot remove function.
- making local object data - Curve/Mesh/MBall lost references to linked materials.
- joining a linked mesh object into a local one lost the link.
As well as these reported bugs, checked all local functions for consistency/correctness and found other cases which would also fail.
- making local metaball didn't ensure unique ID name.
- make_local_armature() was missing check for object users - main body of code would never run.
- local particles didn't set the dupli-group or textures to extern.
checked all local functions for consistency/correctness.
Made the new "superknife" tool much stabler
then it was, though a few minor quirks remain.
Rather then the shortest-distance-in-graph method
I was using to rebuild the mesh post-knife I
reworked it to build a triangulation instead,
then merge the triangles into the right correct
faces.
on smooth/flat flag on faces. This does give better results for low poly
game models, but there's just too much functionality that depends on this
(modifiers, displacey, editmode tools, extrude, ...), that there's not
enough time to fix these before the release.
Multires interpolation is considerably better
now, though it still has a problem with occasionally
producing little random tangent spikes. Still, it's
far better then it was.
Also fixed a bug in dissolve faces.
