* Removed modules Expression and CValue, neither were ever available.
* Added GameLogic.EvalExpression(exp) from the Expression module, evaluates an expression like the expression controller (not sure if this is really that useful since python is far more advanced).
* resetting the original blend file path didint work (own fault == -> =)
* Py3.x PyModule_Create didnt allow importing since it didn't add to sys.modules,
Looks like they want us to use init-tab array, but this doesn't suit us since
it needs to be setup before python is initialized.
* Documented GameLogic.globalDict
* Added icon to property and enum property items. The latter is
responsible for the large number of files changed.
* For RNA functions, added PROP_RNAPTR flag to ask for a PointerRNA
as argument instead of a C pointer, instead of doing it implicitly
with the AnyType type.
* Material: properly wrap diffuse/specular param variables, and
rename some things for consistency.
* MaterialTextureSlot: added "enabled" property (ma->septex).
* Image: make animated property editable.
* Image Editor: make some things editable, notifiers, respect state.
* Context: fix issue with screen not being set as ID.
Send the full python stack trace to the reporting api,
added BPY_exception_buffer which temporarily overrides sys.stdout and sys.stderr to get the output (uses the io module in py3 StringIO in py2 to avoid writing into a real file), pity the Py/C api has no function to do this.
fix for crash when showing menu's that have no items.
If a total of 30 subdirs was hit, or 4 dirs deep was hit - script scanning would quit, skipping files in the root scripts path too.
To work around this the script pack included some of blenders scripts twice just so they would get into the menu but this is a dodgy workaround.
* dont stop scanning for scripts when limits are reached (just dont scan further).
* global 30 dir limit per scan is silly - removed.
* limit recursive depth is kept but keep scanning at lower depths.
* bumped recursive limit from 4 to 6
* flt_properties.py had #!BPY without a menu header.
Adds access to...
- Anisotropy
- Mirr Threshold
- Trans Threshold
Breaks rule of no additions but python data access is quite safe, vray exporter needed these attributes.
[#18891] BGE Convert script Python 2.5 compatible
Example sequencer menu
self.layout.column()
self.layout.item_enumO("SEQUENCER_OT_effect_strip_add", property='type', value='ADD', text="Effect Strip (Add)")
* Accept None as NULL pointers through python function calls.
* Added type callback for pointers back, it's useful still in
some cases. Made Object.data editable using this, the pointer
type varying based on object type.
* Wrap pin ID pointer in buttons space.
* Added subclasses for text and surface curve ID blocks, to
organize data better and get proper icons.
* Added RNA_type_to_ID_code and ID_code_to_RNA_type functions.
* Update RNA_access.h with new RNA types.
This allows the sequencers Add-Image strip to work like it does in 2.4x.
- as well as setting the "filename" operator property, operators can have collections called "files" and "dirs" which are set when available.
- RNA_OperatorFileListElement as new collection type, its a bit redundant since each item only has a "name" property but its needed since we don't have a string array type.
- the file selector now prints operators it runs.
Tested with python, adding a list of images works to the sequencer works.
bpy.ops.SEQUENCER_OT_image_strip_add(name="MyImages", start_frame=54, channel=2, filename="/somedir/", replace_sel=True, files=[{"name":"test1.png"}, {"name":"test2.png"}])
- Support for python to convert a PyObject into a collection (uses a list of dicts - quite verbose :/)
- Operators can now take collection args when called from python.
- Support for printing operators that use collections (macro recording).
- Added RNA_pointer_as_string which prints all pointer prop values as a python dict.
Example that can run in the in test.py (F7 key)
bpy.ops.VIEW3D_OT_select_lasso(path=[{"loc":(0, 0), "time":0}, {"loc":(1000, 0), "time":0}, {"loc":(1000, 1000), "time":0}], type='SELECT')
for some reason lasso locations always print as 0,0. Need to look into why this is.
CID: 595
Checker: OVERRUN_STATIC (help)
File: base/src/source/blender/python/api2_2x/sceneSequence.c
Function: Sequence_setProxyDir
Description: Overrun of static array "&((((self)->seq)->strip)->proxy)->dir" of size 160 bytes by passing it to a function which indexes it with argument "248" at byte position 247
Wasn't using the size of dir it was using the sizeof the struct dir is in.
Fixed.

Internal texts file on disk is not used it seems python warnings dont support this (even though exceptions do).
The most common cause of this is passing a float as an argument to a method that took an int.
get around this by setting __file__ in the namespace to the script name before executing the script, the file lines are not found but at least the output is not weird and confusing.
Added read only 'mode' attribute to the python controller so there is a way to tell if its executing a module or a script. Updated docs to better explain execution methods.
if(SDL_PollEvent(&sdl_event)) // if -> while fixed it
removed 'm_buttonnum' was misleading, wasn't used as you expect.
Added gravity to variable to world to be used by collada.
importing "pygame" failed when running the BGE for the second time.
Rather then clearing modules, backup and restore them (as its doing with sys.path)
This way the BGE will never remember any modules imported during game play (which can cause bugs/crashes), but it also wont break pythons state by possibly removing modules that are being used internally.
- Removed/Commented some unused vars
- CValue::GetPropertyText() could return a temp reference to a variable on the stack, option wasnt used anywhere so removed.
- KX_ConstraintWrapper::GetConstraintId allows args but ignored them
- KX_ConstraintWrapper::PySetParam didnt return NULL on an error (messing up pythons exceptions).
- BLI_natstrcmp didnt return 0 when the while loop exited
Found that subclassing an RNA struct (without even registering or instancing adds a reference to Py_None).
Unlikely a python bug, tested with py2.6 and 3.1
Still not happy with this in the long term but its less problematic then storing the context in pythons namespace which couldn't be set before importing modules.
This might fix a crash quite a few people have reported (but I cant reproduce).
- Setting the constraint script from python didnt update the target count
- Setting objects didnt work at all, since it checked the input sequence for being an BPy_Object type (rather then an item in the sequence)
* template_modifier creates the modifier box, and returns a layout
to put the buttons in.
* Only the armature modifier is now done with python code, all other
modifiers use C code. To convert a modifier to python, remove the
corresponding C code and create a function in DATA_PT_modifiers.
* Some modifiers still require some RNA work to get it working well,
especially to make pointers editable. Mostly that is a matter of
defining an own _set callback and put some of the modifier C code
into it.
* Still various buttons that don't work, like for hooks or mesh
deform binding.
* Fix for crashing decimate modifier (still disabled).
* Removed UI_BUT_NO_HILITE, HMENU.
* Make uiLayoutBox work with align.
* Fix buttons jumping around when resizing and zoom. Part of this was
adding a tiny a 0.001f offset in UI_view2d_view_ortho, otherwise the
rounding is unpredictable (used to be 0.375f, but that was disabled).
* Fix various issues with zooming, panning panels. V2D_LOCKOFS_X/Y is
now taken into account in more places in the view2d code, to avoid
zooming into the center or panning out of the view.
* Remove "Free" align mode in buttons window (it's not really useful).
* View3D/Graph/Image editors now use the same PanelType system as the
buttons window, means some deprecated panel code could be removed.
* Some small visual tweaks for panels.
* View 2D Reset operator (Home key), to reset zoom and panning for panels.
* Added argument to set number buttons as sliders (slider=True for itemR).
* Ignore labels for button alignment (doesn't look right).
* Fix some use of context.main in py scripts, should get data from active
object instead.
* Fix autotexspace -> auto_texspace in py script.
in 2.48 constant interpolations meant that wasnt a problem but since it now uses linear interp. you can notice errors with animated characters because the 2 eulers are not compatible.
Added optional euler_compat argument to matrix.toEuler(eul) and quat.toEuler(eul) so when getting the euler rotations from a list of matrices the animation curve will be continues.
Also added euler.makeCompatible(euler).
- warning silenced for imagepaint.c
A new type of "Sensor" physics object is available in the GE for advanced
collision management. It's called Sensor for its similarities with the
physics objects that underlie the Near and Radar sensors.
Like the Near and Radar object it is:
- static and ghost
- invisible by default
- always active to ensure correct collision detection
- capable of detecting both static and dynamic objects
- ignoring collision with their parent
- capable of broadphase filtering based on:
* Actor option: the collisioning object must have the Actor flag set to be detected
* property/material: as specified in the collision sensors attached to it
Broadphase filtering is important for performance reason: the collision points
will be computed only for the objects that pass the broahphase filter.
- automatically removed from the simulation when no collision sensor is active on it
Unlike the Near and Radar object it can:
- take any shape, including triangle mesh
- be made visible for debugging (just use the Visible actuator)
- have multiple collision sensors using it
Other than that, the sensor objects are ordinary objects. You can move them
freely or parent them. When parented to a dynamic object, they can provide
advanced collision control to this object.
The type of collision capability depends on the shape:
- box, sphere, cylinder, cone, convex hull provide volume detection.
- triangle mesh provides surface detection but you can give some volume
to the suface by increasing the margin in the Advanced Settings panel.
The margin applies on both sides of the surface.
Performance tip:
- Sensor objects perform better than Near and Radar: they do less synchronizations
because of the Scenegraph optimizations and they can have multiple collision sensors
on them (with different property filtering for example).
- Always prefer simple shape (box, sphere) to complex shape whenever possible.
- Always use broadphase filtering (avoid collision sensor with empty propery/material)
- Use collision sensor only when you need them. When no collision sensor is active
on the sensor object, it is removed from the simulation and consume no CPU.
Known limitations:
- When running Blender in debug mode, you will see one warning line of the console:
"warning btCollisionDispatcher::needsCollision: static-static collision!"
In release mode this message is not printed.
- Collision margin has no effect on sphere, cone and cylinder shape.
Other performance improvements:
- Remove unnecessary interpolation for Near and Radar objects and by extension
sensor objects.
- Use direct matrix copy instead of quaternion to synchronize orientation.
Other bug fix:
- Fix Near/Radar position error on newly activated objects. This was causing
several detection problems in YoFrankie
- Fix margin not passed correctly to gImpact shape.
- Disable force/velocity actions on static objects
* Buttons are now created first, and after that the layout is computed.
This means the layout engine now works at button level, and makes it
easier to write templates. Otherwise you had to store all info and
create the buttons later.
* Added interface_templates.c as a separate file to put templates in.
These can contain regular buttons, and can be put in a Free layout,
which means you can specify manual coordinates, but still get nested
correct inside other layouts.
* API was changed to allow better nesting. Previously items were added
in the last added layout specifier, i.e. one level up in the layout
hierarchy. This doesn't work well in always, so now when creating things
like rows or columns it always returns a layout which you have to add
the items in. All py scripts were updated to follow this.
* Computing the layout now goes in two passes, first estimating the
required width/height of all nested layouts, and then in the second
pass using the results of that to decide on the actual locations.
* Enum and array buttons now follow the direction of the layout, i.e.
they are vertical or horizontal depending if they are in a column or row.
* Color properties now get a color picker, and only get the additional
RGB sliders with Expand=True.
* File/directory string properties now get a button next to them for
opening the file browse, though this is not implemented yet.
* Layout items can now be aligned, set align=True when creating a column,
row, etc.
* Buttons now get a minimum width of one icon (avoids squashing icon
buttons).
* Moved some more space variables into Style.

Changed "None" to "" for returning an unset vertex group.
"" is a valid name for a vertex group this is asking for trouble.
This made it not refresh the module when taking an external BGE Module and making it internal because the external pyc would never be freed so the internal text wouldn't get used until restarting blender.
After quite a bit of searching, I finally found where the various UI functions were wrapped for use in Py Layouts.
