One important thing to keep in mind when using this feature is that you'll need to flip your textures vertically (both the GIMP and Photoshop DDS tools I've seen have support for this on export). This is a quirk in using a texture format originally made for DirectX/DirectDraw, and flipping the compressed data is a real headache. Another quick fix for this issue is to change the Y value for the Size in the Mapping panel in the Texture properties to -1 (default is 1).
The 2D Filter system now only copies the game viewport instead of the whole window. This prevents 2D Filters from grabbing data outside of the game viewport. The textures for 2D filters are now also not forced to be powers of two (if NPOT textures are supported), which can save a little bit of VRAM.
the idea of using methods instead of attributes is to avoid users abusing of the system calls.
Thanks Campbell Barton for reviewing and small corrections
Right now this is being fixed by not allowing the exact same action (action, start/end frames, speed, etc) to be played if it's already playing. Hopefully this will not cause more issues than it solves.
Blender's import function check's the Text datablocks in main for additional modules for importing. However, libloaded scenes were 1) not loading Text datablocks and 2) not letting bpy know about them. Text datablocks are now loaded if a Scene is loaded and bpy can now looking through extra Mains to find additional modules.
This switches some areas of Blender which are related on FFmpeg stuff
from deprecated symbols to currently supported one.
Pretty straightforward changes based on documentation of FFmpeg's
API which symbols should be now used.
This should make Blender compatible with recent FFmpeg 0.11.
Should be no functional changes.
Custom shaders is a case where the BGE can be using GLSL materials and still need to upload textures without bf_gpu. I tweaked some logic to handle this special case and added more comments.
KX_RadarSensor.angle was returning the angle that was used to construct Bullet's physics shape, which is calculated from the logic brick gui. KX_RadarSensor.angle now recalculates the original value from the gui. However, m_coneradius isn't actually used by KX_RadarSensor that I can see, so it might be better to just assign the original angle to m_coneradius instead of the calculated value. I've also made KX_RadarSensor.angle read-only, since setting m_coneradius does not appear to have any affect, which means writing to KX_RadarSensor.angle never worked properly.
========================
The linear and angular thresholds set the speed limit (in m/s) and rotation limit (in rad/s)
under which a rigid body will go to sleep (stop moving) if it stays below the limits for a
time equal or longer than the deactivation time (sleeping is disabled is deactivation time is
set to 0).
These settings help reducing the processing spent on Physics during the game.
Previously they were only accessible from python but not working because of a bug.
Now the python functions are working and the settings are available in the Physics panel
of the World settings when using the Blender Game render engine.
Python API:
import PhysicsConstraints
PhysicsConstraints.setDeactivationLinearTreshold(float)
PhysicsConstraints.setDeactivationAngularTreshold(float)
===============================================
This patch adds a new "Character" BGE physics type which uses Bullet's btKinematicCharacter for simulation instead of full-blown dynamics. It is appropiate for (player-controlled) characters, for which the other physics types often result unexpected results (bouncing off walls, sliding etc.) and for which simple kinematics offers much more precision.
"Character" can be chosen like any other physics type in the "Physics" section of the properties window. Current settings for tweaking are "Step Height" (to make the object automatically climb small steps if it collides with them), "Fall Speed" (the maximum speed that the object can have when falling) and "Jump Speed", which is currently not used.
See http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=127&aid=28476&group_id=9
for sample blends and a discussion on the patch: how to use it and what influences the behavior of the character object.
Known problem: there is a crash if the "compound" option is set in the physics panel of the Character object.
from Jason Wilkins (jwilkins)
only applied some parts:
* const correctness
* moved a variable into a move local scope so it is also inside a #if/endif and does not end up conditionally unused
The code was looking to see if the priority was strictly greater than the current priority, but it seems that an equal priority should also override (at least the report seems to suggest that this is the behavior from 2.49).
- Remove strict flags from files, which are using FFmpeg stuff
We're still using some symbols which are marked as deprecated.
Ideally, we shall switch to new API, but it's a bit larger challenge
because we don't want to break compatibility withotu actual need.
- Replace MAKE_ID with BT_MAKE_ID in bullet library.
This is needed to prevent re-definition of MAKE_ID in bullet library.
Seems it's only used to read blender files, so should be quite safe
change.
