Note: Rna access to softbody point cache is through softbody modifier although the point cache is in softbody settings. This is to make it similar to cloth.
Bugfix: Softbody rna was trying to get "ob->soft->softflag" instead of the correct "ob->softflag".

Notes:
* Game and sequencer RNA, and sequencer header are now out of date
a bit after changes in trunk.
* I didn't know how to port these bugfixes, most likely they are
not needed anymore.
* Fix "duplicate strip" always increase the user count for ipo.
* IPO pinning on sequencer strips was lost during Undo.

Notes:
* Sequence transform strip uses G.scene global, this is commented
out now, should be fixed.
* Etch-a-ton code was most difficult to merge. The files already in
2.5 got merged, but no new files were added. Calls to these files
are commented out with "XXX etch-a-ton". editarmature.c and
transform_snap.c were complex to merge. Martin, please check?
* Game engine compiles and links again here for scons/make/cmake
(player still fails to link).
Instead of many commits, here 1!
- Constraint edit code back
- Removed XXX stubs for constraints
(make parent follow path works)
- Removed XXX stubs for armature
(make parent deform, do center, etc works)
- Found a bad uninitialized global Scene * in code, especially
in kernel it wreaked havoc.
- added missing include in blenkernel/brush.c
- fixed Nicholas' fix for editmode subsurf crash
(It needed to check for editmode)
Think global, act local!
The old favorite G.scene gone! Man... that took almost 2 days.
Also removed G.curscreen and G.edbo.
Not everything could get solved; here's some notes.
- modifiers now store current scene in ModifierData. This is not
meant for permanent, but it can probably stick there until we
cleaned the anim system and depsgraph to cope better with
timing issues.
- Game engine G.scene should become an argument for staring it.
Didn't solve this yet.
- Texture nodes should get scene cfra, but the current implementation
is too tightly wrapped to do it easily.

Issues:
* GHOST/X11 had conflicting changes. Some code was added in 2.5, which was
later added in trunk also, but reverted partially, specifically revision
16683. I have left out this reversion in the 2.5 branch since I think it is
needed there.
http://projects.blender.org/plugins/scmsvn/viewcvs.php?view=rev&root=bf-blender&revision=16683
* Scons had various conflicting changes, I decided to go with trunk version
for everything except priorities and some library renaming.
* In creator.c, there were various fixes and fixes for fixes related to the -w
-W and -p options. In 2.5 -w and -W is not coded yet, and -p is done
differently. Since this is changed so much, and I don't think those fixes
would be needed in 2.5, I've left them out.
* Also in creator.c: there was code for a python bugfix where the screen was not
initialized when running with -P. The code that initializes the screen there
I had to disable, that can't work in 2.5 anymore but left it commented as a
reminder.
Further I had to disable some new function calls. using src/ and python/, as
was done already in this branch, disabled function calls:
* bpath.c: error reporting
* BME_conversions.c: editmesh conversion functions.
* SHD_dynamic: disabled almost completely, there is no python/.
* KX_PythonInit.cpp and Ketsji/ build files: Mathutils is not there, disabled.
* text.c: clipboard copy call.
* object.c: OB_SUPPORT_MATERIAL.
* DerivedMesh.c and subsurf_ccg, stipple_quarttone.
Still to be done:
* Go over files and functions that were moved to a different location but could
still use changes that were done in trunk.
* subsurf code had a lot of unused variables, removed these where they are obviously not needed. commented if they could be useful later.
* some variables declorations hide existing variables (many of these left), but fixed some that could cause confusion.
* removed unused vars
* obscure python memory leak with colorband.
* make_sample_tables had a loop running wasnt used.
* if 0'd functions in arithb.c that are not used yet.
* made many functions static
bug fix [17428]
/*backward compatibility note:
G.rt==16 still activates 'old' code
fixing bug [17428] which forces adaptive step size to tiny steps in some situations .. keeping G.rt==17 0x11 option for old files 'needing' the bug*/
make soft bodies spawn threads on a mid level
use G.rt == 16 to switch to 'old style'
i am going to remove that G.rt switch if everyone is fine /* i do not intend to keep 2 versions of code up because of "BAD STYLE" */
so .. give feed back ..
left overs from new particles
-wind and force did not work if aero or edge collision was activated.
-force field had flipped sign compared to particles
tsk who thinks a attractive force should negative sign? well... i am passionless with that.
-adapted effect of wind and fields on softbodies such that softbody "particles" and particle "particles" behave consistently
note!
effect of wind is 1/25 compared to before
other forces 1/10
=======================
Caching and Baking:
- The point cache is now cleared on DAG_object_flush_update(), and not cleared for time dependency graph updates.
- There is now a Bake button instead of Protect. Also cache start and end frames were added to softbody and particles.
- The cloth autoprotect feature was removed.
- The Ctrl+B menu now also bakes cloth and particles next to softbody and fluids. Additionally there are now frree bake and free cache menu entries.
- The point cache api has been changed. There is now a PTCacheID struct for each point cache type that can be filled and then used to call the point cache functions.
- PointCache struct was added to DNA and is automatically allocated for each physics type.
- Soft body now supports Bake Editing just like cloth.
- Tried to make the systems deal consistently with time ipo's and offsets. Still not sure it all works correct, but too complicated to solve completely now.
Library Linking:
- Added some more warnings to prevent editing settings on library linked objects.
- Linked objects now read from the cache located next to the original library file, and never write to it. This restores old behavior for softbodies. For local simulation the mesh and not the object should be linked.
- Dupligroups and proxies can't create local point caches at the moment, how to implement that I'm not sure. We probably need a proxy point cache for that to work (ugh).
Physics UI:
- Renamed deflection panel to collision for consistency and reorganized the buttons. Also removed some softbody collision buttons from the softbody panel that were duplicated in this panel for cloth.
- Tweaked field panel buttons to not jump around when changing options.
- Tabbing e.g. Soft Body Collision into the Soft Body panel, it now only shows Collision to make the panel names readable.
- I tried to make enabled/disabling physics more consistent, since all three system did things different. Now the two modifier buttons to enable the modifier for the viewport and rendering are also duplicated in the physics panels. Toggling the Soft Body and Cloth buttons now both remove their modifiers.
- Fixed modifier error drawing glitch.
Particles:
- Particles are now recalculated more often than before. Previously it did partial updates based on the changes, but that doesn't work well with DAG_object_flush_update() ..
- Fixed memory leak loading keyed particle system. Now keys are not written to file anymore but always created after loading.
- Make particle threads work with autothreads.
Continue Physics:
- The timeline play now has a Continue Physics option in the playback menu, which keeps the simulations going without writing them to the cache.
- This doesn't always work that well, some changes are not immediately updated, but this can be improved later. Still it's fun to get a feel for the physics.
Todo:
- Point cache can get out of sync with and undo and changing a file without saving it.
- Change the point cache file format to store a version (so old point cache files can be either converted or at least ignored), and to do correct endian conversion.
- Menu item and/or buttons for Ctrl+B.
- A system("rm ..") was changed to remove() since the former is very slow for clearing point caches. These system() calls were already giving trouble in a bug in the tracker, but really most use of this system("") should be changed and tested.
- The Soft Body Collision and Clot Collision panel titles don't mention there's point cache settings there too, doing that makes them unreadable with the default panel setup.. but may need to make the names longer anyway.
* initial values I added in radialcontrol.c might need to be reviewed if they cause problems(I used 200, as it seems many tools were setting that)
* #pragma warnings are the only warnings I still get, so that means we have a clean slate again
-softbody BodyPoint indexes were created with a lag of one leading to use of wrong softbody points for particles when creating path cache
-interpolation points for softbody hair weren't chosen optimally when not yet at the end of a hair
a glance to view is the "STU PID semi implicit euler"
most of the work to implement a semi implicit euler was done ..
now i am dealing with the tradeoffs between 'calculation time' which is quite expensive .. inverting a 0(n*n) sparse matrix /* once agian thanks to brecht for his work on making sparse matrices LU decomposition and evaluating inverses that easy*/ putting it into and cropping works pretty nice .. argh off topic again
...
while i spent a little time on reading recent papers i found :
1. control on springs needs to be split in pushing and pulling /* fabric pushes easy but pulls hard */
2. diagonals on 4-gons (in the current SB model) can be seen as shear .. thus need a contol to modify .. this commit wil add it
3. 2 nd order springs /*aka rigidity */ can focus on bending .. thus renaming 'em
i have no idea how i would provide backward compatiblity, but the spots i marked in code :)
=========
Merge of the famous particle patch by Janne Karhu, a full rewrite
of the Blender particle system. This includes:
- Emitter, Hair and Reactor particle types.
- Newtonian, Keyed and Boids physics.
- Various particle visualisation and rendering types.
- Vertex group and texture control for various properties.
- Interpolated child particles from parents.
- Hair editing with combing, growing, cutting, .. .
- Explode modifier.
- Harmonic, Magnetic fields, and multiple falloff types.
.. and lots of other things, some more info is here:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Particles_Rewritehttp://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Particles_Rewrite_Doc
The new particle system cannot be backwards compatible. Old particle
systems are being converted to the new system, but will require
tweaking to get them looking the same as before.
Point Cache
===========
The new system to replace manual baking, based on automatic caching
on disk. This is currently used by softbodies and the particle system.
See the Cache API section on:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/PhysicsSprint
Documentation
=============
These new features still need good docs for the release logs, help
for this is appreciated.
/* special hidden feature! shrink to fit */
if (G.rt > 500){
scale = (G.rt - 500) / 100.0f;
}
-- shrink a T shirt to fit .. evil grin
-- by the way i did set up the rule 'if any *outer object* hits no *inner* will be regarded' ... pretty poor IMHO .. well but it works
bsystem_time was being called with an extra variable, which was useless. Most of the places that called it, were passing NULL for that variable anyway.
I've also cleaned up that function a bit, but the underlying problems with that part of the code still exist (EVIL GLOBALS that are exported for frame_to_float), for mblur and fields rendering features. That remains for another time.
This commit upgrades the modifier stack to only calculate the data which is
needed, either by modifiers further down the stack or by other functions at
the end of the stack (e.g. drawing functions).
This speeds up modifier stack recalculation, especially where vertex
groups and UV coordinates are concerned. For example, a mesh with an Armature
modifier followed by a Subsurf modifier would previously have required the
Subsurf modifier to interpolate all the vertex groups in the mesh, slowing
down modifier calculations considerably. With this update, vertex group data
is not propagated beyond the Armature modifier, so calculations are faster.
Note that this depends on the order of modifiers in the stack. If the Armature
and Subsurf modifiers were swapped in the above example, the Subsurf modifier
would have to interpolate vertex groups, as they are needed by the Armature
modifier.
Doing NULL pointer paranoia check in time.
It's completely pointless calling the function with null pointer,
but who knows.
At least it does not crash then.
nice little 'debug' feature
SHIFT_ESC breaks baking without throwing away the baked keys
so you can check the solution calculated so far
baked sb replay checks for NULL pointers in keys -> motion will stop there
even saving and loading to file works here,
but i would not expect it to do so
humm .. may be i'll add a dirty flag for that
All data layers, including MVert/MEdge/MFace, are now managed as custom
data layers. The pointers like Mesh.mvert, Mesh.dvert or Mesh.mcol are
still used of course, but allocating, copying or freeing these arrays
should be done through the CustomData API.
Work in progress documentation on this is here:
http://mediawiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/BlenderArchitecture/CustomData
Replaced TFace by MTFace:
This is the same struct, except that it does not contain color, that now
always stays separated in MCol. This was not a good design decision to
begin with, and it is needed for adding multiple color layers later. Note
that this does mean older Blender versions will not be able to read UV
coordinates from the next release, due to an SDNA limitation.
Removed DispListMesh:
This now fully replaced by DerivedMesh. To provide access to arrays of
vertices, edges and faces, like DispListMesh does. The semantics of the
DerivedMesh.getVertArray() and similar functions were changed to return
a pointer to an array if one exists, or otherwise allocate a temporary
one. On releasing the DerivedMesh, this temporary array will be removed
automatically.
Removed ssDM and meshDM DerivedMesh backends:
The ssDM backend was for DispListMesh, so that became obsolete automatically.
The meshDM backend was replaced by the custom data backend, that now figures
out which layers need to be modified, and only duplicates those.
This changes code in many places, and overall removes 2514 lines of code.
So, there's a good chance this might break some stuff, although I've been
testing it for a few days now. The good news is, adding multiple color and
uv layers should now become easy.
Added a less 'strict' solver step size control.
Cuts down needed loops to a 1/5 in 'regular' collision situations.
So why be a maths smartass when we want to do a skirt in a breeze :)
Is on by default, old mode can be turned on with the 'O' button beside the RK-limit.
Some minor fixes to the UI
1. UI review -> disabeling options when not available .. giving hints why ( even tried to give usefull tooltips )
1.1 give some more user control to the solving process (mins,maxs).. optional feedback on the console
2. replacing ugly object level 'sumohandle' with SB (private runtime) level/pointer 'scratch'
which holds runtime data like cached collider data and more .. and it's thread save this way :)
3.related no 2. write a 'private' history of collision objects to ease the 'fast' collider tunneling syndrome'
4. some <clean> optimizations, 3-BSP for self collision, general AABB checking before ever going to collision details
5. some <dirty> ( in the sense of do some inacurate physics noone ever will see ) little tricks to make things faster .. ..fuzzy collision situation bypass .. forward collision resolution
