- Added KlopUtils by Carlos Lopez and Batch Object Name Edit by Campbell Barton (thanks both!)
BPython:
- Fixed things I recently broke in Blender.sys, added Blender.sys.join(dir, file)
- doc and other minor updates
- Added function Blender.Save(filename) to save .blend files.
- Added scriptlink-related methods (get, clear, add) to Scene and Materials. Will still add method remove and add these methods to World, Object, Camera and Lamp.
- Updates and small fixes in docs.
Campbell Barton updated his Wavefront OBJ scripts and Ben Omari updated his DirectX 7 and 8 ones (thanks both). The other listed scripts had minor updates to accomodate the menu changes.
- Scripts in menus:
renamed Tools to Object, Generators to Add, and Modifiers to Mesh (Metaball, Curve, Surface can be added later), to integrate better in the interface.
- Fixed a bug in Blender.sys.makename: last letter of file extension was being cut out.
PupStrInput, a wrapper for the Blender String popup (thanks!)
- Fixed bug #1374 reported by Gabriel Beloin (gabio, thanks too):
http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=125&aid=1374&group_id=9
There was a minor mistake in the import menu: vrml called dxf and vice-versa and shortcuts were wrong (removed them).
- Doc updates, minor updates elsewhere.
Wim Van Hoydonck contributed the famous Knife script (put under Modifiers group) developed by Stefano Selleri and himself (thank to both!)
- Added helper function Blender.sys.makename, updated docs and script ac3d_export to use it (shall update other exporters too):
this function is just a simple helper to format a filename as needed (change extension, strip dirname, it defaults to use G.sce as path).
- Added a test method: Blender.Scene.getScriptlinks(eventName):
just testing, if this path proves useful other functions will be added and made general, for objects, etc.
- 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.
Blender.Draw.Button() was not showing up. Seems to be an epydoc
issue with Button() being both a module method and the name of a class.
I changed Button to Button_ and added a usage note.
Yes, this is lame.
- Campbell Barton contributed another function (thanks again), the Image.reload method:
with this a script can keep an image that is being edited and saved by an external program updated in Blender.
- updated docs with recently added functions
- dynamic menu entries now are sorted (alphabetically, of course)
- added new menu categories for scripts: Wizards, Modifiers, Generators, Materials, Animation:
only added to list of options, didn't mess with any Blender header. They are already available from the "Scripts" menu in the scripts win, but not elsewhere.
- added option 'datadir' to Blender.Get(option):
so scripts can use .blender/bpydata for reading / writing their data files.
-- 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.
- Finally added Blender.Load function for loading .blend files, useful for demos, for example.
- Moved data from Blender.h to Blender.c. We'll keep doing this where it applies and someday remove all unused files at once.
- a major redo of the Bone module
- BPy_Bone structs are separated into Bone data and python vars. This is necessary for the correct memory allocation of bone data between python and the global armature list.
a checked error but is no good anyway
- Bone_dealloc free'd Blender's actual copy of the Bone! AGH!!!!
- On syntax errors the python global dictionary was being free'd
twice. AGH!!! again!
Can someone from the Python team please audit this.
ID_asPyObject and ID_getScriptlinks functions,
moved code into BPY_interface.c (where it fit better)
- EXPP_interface.c is essentially obselete now
- I didn't test this, I'm sure I broke something, if a Pythonista
could comment that would be nice (oh and the maintainer too).
Testing has not convinced me this is a complete solution to the
Ipo Curve handle issue, but it does seem to make things
better for curves created via python. We will probably need to revisit
this, especially if we expose the curve handles in the bpy interface.
-- epydoc Documentation for eeshlo's Noise module + small typo fix in Noise.c
-- BPY_end_python closes .blend file opened by Library module when script doesn't do it by itself.
- added some constants for the rendering module to blender module
- moved rendering functions from scene to scene.render
- rendering functions called from renderData struct instead of from scene directly
- getRenderingContext() returns rendering data struct
- deprecation of old scene functions
- some formatting/documentation of code
- New module + doc: Blender.Library:
It's like File->Append, loads datablocks from .blend files.
- small updates to fix warnings and accomodate for the new module, in readfile.[ch]
- New Blender.sys module function: time, a wrapper of the PIL get time function.
- Updated original makefile and scons builds.
- 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!
- Michel's linux test builds with Python 2.3.x were crashing. This of course shouldn't happen even when Python isn't installed in the system. The problem was much probably some uninitialized internal type needed by the Mathutils module and the "fix" is stupid.
Moving the registration of Mathutils module in Blender.c to the end of the list solves the crash here.
-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
- update to addBone parenting transform code
- hide/unhide bones
- draw axes/draw names
- clear parenting and clear children from bones - removes childbase links from bone and set as root or remove parenting and set as root
(excuse me for doing all in a single commit, but they are tiny
fixes and it's bpython, that dark corner ...)
#1025 - FileSelector SEGV on dynamic callback Category:
Can't reproduce with current cvs, I'd say recent changes to fix
another crash related to FileSelector in gui-less scripts solved this
one, too.
#1028 - Reserved button event number:
Menu choices generate two events, one extra related to the menu
itself, with value=4. Made bpython ignore this extra event.
#1068 - FileSelector No file extension support:
As Ton wrote there, Blender itself doesn't support this yet. But the
requester also wanted Window.File/ImageSelector to accept a pathname. Done. Also updated doc.
#959 - Segfault on background rendering:
This happened in bg mode (blender -b filename -a, for example) when
a script with the line "Blender.Redraw()" was linked to FRAMECHANGED events. As reported in the bug page, it was because curarea is NULL in bg mode. Made Redraw() check for this and not call functions that expected curarea in Redraw, like one to swap buffers.
#1072 - Blender.Redraw() Segfault:
Good catch : ). Scripts called from the scripts win that called
Blender.Redraw() or Blender.Window.Redraw() would crash Blender because of a dirty pointer in Spacescript->script. Fixed.
