I hoped for it to resolve the bug of loading sounds with relative paths didn't work, but Main.name isn't set before the sounds are loaded, so the bug resists!
Someone who is into file loading should please fix this!
* cache for low res (deactivating high res for now)
* new way of view3d rendering of smoke (no longer 3 axes) -using 3dtexture now (introduced into gpu/intern)
* introducing LZO and LZMA libs into extern (makefiles missing for now)
* reducing memory usage after simulating for the frame ended (freeing temporary buffers)
* splitting smoke into 2 modifier for the cache-sake (it cannot handle more than 1 cache on the same modifier-index)
* no color on gui anymore
* fixing non-power-of-2 resolutions (hopefully)
* fixing select-deselect of domain drawing bug
* fixing drawobject.c coding style (making Ton happy) ;-)
HINT #1: If scons doesn't work -> cmakefiles are up-to-date, couldn't test scons (but i tried to mantain them, too)
CODERS HINT #1: we really need a way to disable adding all modifiers through "Add Modifiers" dropdown!
WARNING #1: before applying this commit, deactivate your SMOKE DOMAIN in your old files and save them then. You can open them then savely after that.
WARNING #2: File and cache format of smoke can be changed, this is not final!
Implementation:
* NC_SCENE or NC_OBJECT cause scene->stats to be cleared.
* NC_INFO is sent to tag info headers for redraw.
* In UI scene.statistics() creates scene->stats if it is
NULLd, and then returns the string.
* Added Shading and Performance panels in the scene buttons,
containing the options previously in the 2.4x game menu.
* Added show framerate/debug/physics/warnings back in game menu.
* Moved these settings from G.fileflags to scene GameData.
* Enabled Display Lists by default.
* Some other small game scene button tweaks.
possible from python, but it's still work in progress.
Pointers and collections are restricted to types derived from
IDPropertyGroup (same as for operators), because RNA knows how to
allocate/deallocate those.
Collections have .add() and .remove(number) functions that can be
used. The remove function should be fixed to take an other argument
than a number.
With the IDPropertyGroup restriction, pointers are more like nested
structs. They don't have add(), remove() yet, not sure where to put
them. Currently the pointer / nested struct is automatically allocated
in the get() function, this needs to be fixed, rule is that RNA get()
will not change any data for thread safety.
Also, it is only possible to add properties to structs after they have
been registered, which needs to be improved as well.
Example code:
http://www.pasteall.org/7201/python
* Refactored the file write/read code for the new Paint type. Just used for sculpt for now, but this'll make it easier when the other paint modes are converted.
* Added a new Paint type in scene DNA. This is now the base struct for Sculpt.
* The Paint type contains a list of Brushes, you can add or remove these much like material and texture slots.
* Modified the UI for the new Paint type, now shows the list of brushes active for this mode
* Added a New Brush operator, shows in the UI as a list of brush tool types to add
* Made the sculpt tool property UI smaller and not expanded, expectation is that we will have a number of preset brushes that will cover the basic sculpt brush types
TODO:
* Vertex paint, weight paint, texture paint need to be converted to this system next
* Add brush presets to the default blend
* data reorganisation - uses own values now instead of reusing surface material properties (i.e. an individual density value, rather than reusing alpha) Files saved with the old system won't load up the same after this.
* improved defaults and ui
* Pose mode was already object-localized, but moved the flag from object->flag to object->mode, with all the other modes.
* Updated object mode RNA
* Commented out some dubious use of base->flag with the posemode flag. So far as I could see the value was only being set, not read, so a hopefully safe change.
* Transparency is now it's own panel, with a boolean toggle
+ enum for z/ray transparency (following mockup made by
William). Also had to change DNA flags for this.
* Disabled radiosity a bit more in render engine, it still had
some effects like auto autosmooth.
* Make some sliders in material buttons percentages in RNA.
* Some other small tweaks in layout and naming.
* Made sculpt mode local to object.
* This also fixes loading files from 2.4x saved in sculptmode
Touched a lot of things here, let me know if anything breaks
TODO:
* The other paint modes should be converted as well
Integration is still very rough around the edges and WIP, but it works, and can render smoke (using new Smoke format in Voxel Data texture) --> http://vimeo.com/6030983
More to come, but this makes things much easier to work on for me :)
- Correct fix for file loading crash introduced by earlier point cache commit.
- Simulations are no longer calculated to current frame at render time automatically.
* This has to be thought through more carefully at some point, perhaps through render profiles.
* All simulations can be updated manually to current frame from any cache panel with the "update all to current frame" button.
- Some explanatory comments added for BKE_pointcache.h.
Removed BKE_ptcache_ids_from_object() from readfile.c do_versions,
this cannot work... IDs are not set for versioning. Will need to go
over this with janne what he actually wants to achieve here...
This solves crash on startup of Blender. Tsk!
- HEADER (beginning of each file)
* general header:
+ 8 char: "BPHYSICS"
+ 1 int: simulation type (same as PTCacheID->type)
* custom header (same for sb, particles and cloth, but can be different for new dynamics)
+ 1 int: totpoint (number of points)
+ 1 int: data_types (bit flags for what the stored data is)
- DATA (directly after header)
*totpoint times the data as specified in data_types flags
- simulation type
soft body = 0, particles = 1, cloth = 2
- data types (more can be added easily when needed)
data flag contains
----------------------------------------
index (1<<0) 1 int (index of current point)
location (1<<1) 3 float
velocity (1<<2) 3 float
rotation (1<<3) 4 float (quaternion)
avelocity (1<<4) 3 float (used for particles)
xconst (1<<4) 3 float (used for cloth)
size (1<<5) 1 float
times (1<<6) 3 float (birth, die & lifetime of particle)
boids (1<<7) 1 BoidData
Notes:
- Every frame is not nescessary since data is interpolated for the inbetween frames.
- For now every point is needed for every cached frame, the "index" data type is reserved for future usage.
- For loading external particle caches only "location" data is necessary, other needed values are determined from the given data.
- Non-dynamic data should be written into an info file if external usage is desired.
* Info file is named as normal cache files, but with frame number 0;
* "Non-dynamic" means data such as particle times.
* Written automatically when baking to disk so basically a library of particle simulations should be possible.
- Old disk cache format is supported for reading, so pre 2.5 files shouldn't break. However old style memory cache (added during 2.5 development) is not supported. To keep memory cached simulations convert the cache to disk cache before svn update and save the blend.
- External sb and cloth caches should be perfectly possible, but due to lack of testing these are not yet enabled in ui.
Other changes:
- Multiple point caches per dynamics system.
* In the future these will hopefully be nla editable etc, but for now things are simple and the current (selected) point cache is used.
* Changing the amount of cached points (for example particle count) is allowed, but might not give correct results if multiple caches are present.
- Generalization of point cache baking etc operator & rna code.
- Comb brushing particle hair didn't work smoothly.
* That also means you can't really change them and save it before we actually do a do_version.
* Marking the old variables in DNA_world_types.h to be removed.
* Tools such as set handle type, etc. were not being called correctly from the menus. There were missing operator-context calls to make sure that the invoke methods would get skipped.
* Hack for loading old files - buttons region for Graph Editor now gets added. Dunno why this didn't work automatically as for NLA despite the two having the same code.
a) Crash fixed when loading files with smoke
b) changed presets to be more low-cpu friendly
c) smoke looks thicker
Unsolved:
a) 3dview of smoke changes weirdly when looking at front/back. Just move around a cube with smoke and you know what I mean - odd shading. If someone likes to take a look: draw_object.c -> search for "smoke" there
Not working:
a) rendering (since volumterics branch is not merged yet)
b) moving collision objects of any kind
c) saving of collision objects (because that's what I am working on)
d) pointcache
e) A bunch of other things I already know of
So please do not report any bugs on this one yet :-)
* When resizing the window, the top position is now preserved,
instead of the center position.
* Fix zoom level not being preserved in various cases, when
changing both with and height. This replaces some earlier code
which did this at screen level but wasn't very reliable.
* Different tabs now each preserve their own scroll.
* When switching between tabs, it now scrolls to show as many
buttons as possible, instead of possibly showing empty space.
There is a trade-off here between doing that keeping the
buttons in the same place, no ideal solution exists I think.
* Change zooming in/out to be symmetric, for example doing
numpad + then - did not give the original zoom level back.
* Added some calls to avoid hanging tooltips when manipulating
the view.
Internals:
* Added V2D_KEEPOFS_X and V2D_KEEPOFS_Y to keep the top/bottom
rather than the center.
* Renamed V2D_KEEPZOOM to V2D_LIMITZOOM (seems more appropriate),
and make V2D_KEEPZOOM preserve the zoom level.
- It is possible to work with MetaBalls in edit mode now
- Added basic UI to the button window (feel free to change it :-))
- Header menus should work
- Undo & redo should work
- Removed global variable editelems and lastelem (moved it to the MetaBall struct)
- All tools from old editmball.c was converted to the operators
- Added lastelem to the RNA
- Experimental: mb->editelems is only pointer at mb->elems or NULL (depends on Mode). ListBase of MetaElems is not duplicated in edit mode.
Tested with scons at Linux and mac OS X
TODO:
- Recalc data after Undo or Redo
- Solve issue with basic MetaBall and Python UI script (only base MetaBall object influence Wiresize and Threshold)
- Fix orientation of manipulator in "Normal mode"
* Diffuse/specular ramps works again.
* Wire is now a material type next to Surface and Halo.
* Removed Volume material type option until it is actually there.
* Some button layout tweaks.

* Fix crash loading particle AnimData. This crashed many BBB
files. If you have a .blend file that crashes when loading
it in 2.5, please mail me, I'd like to know.
* Image window zoom ratio did not work correct with py 2.x.
* Other minor fixes for image window RNA.
* Buttons window now remembers the tab that was last clicked
by the user, even if that tab is no longer available due
to context, and then enable the tab again if the context
for it is back.
* Cleaned up buttons space DNA a bit, removing unused vars.
* Armature bone rename outside edit mode did not call right
function yet.
* Armature layers are now editable even if lib linked. This
is useful for proxies. For this purpose a PROP_LIB_EXCEPTION
flag was added. Need to think over proxy / RNA a bit though,
not sure what the requirements are yet.
* Parent to Armature Deform now has options to create vertex
groups, instead of always creating them.
Patch by Alfredo de Greef. Considerably improves the quality of bump
mapping, and texture filtering for displacement and warp too. Mainly
this is achieved by getting the texture derivatives just right in
various cases, many thanks to Alfredo for figuring this one out, works
great.
This is enabled by default now, but disabled still for existing
textures to preserve backwards compatibility. Can be enabled with
the "New Bump" option in the material texture slot in the outliner.
Also, I made the range for the normal factor a bit smaller since this
gives stronger effects, but note that you can still type in larger
values than the slider allows.
Patch by Alfredo de Greef with high quality image texture filters.
This adds 3 new filters:
* SAT: Summed Area Tables. This is like mipmaps, but using somewhat
more memory avoids some artifacts.
* EWA: Ellipitical Weighted Average, anisotropic filter.
* FELINE: Fast elliptical lines for anisotropic texture mapping.
The one change I made to this was to try to fix an alpha/premul
problem, hopefully I didn't break anything, it looks compatible
with the existing filter now for me.
