- Stephane Soppera added long missed support for edge data in Blender.NMesh + related doc;
- Michael Reimpell improved script registration (fixes bug report #2160) and the file and image selectors in Blender.Window (improved with suggestions from Yann Vernier). They now suppport methods as callbacks;
- World.get/setMode were not registered, so could not be directly called (reported by Ken Hughes). Still needs some work to improve things, including docs.
Scripts:
- Jean-Michel Soler updated his texture baker based on input from Appolux;
- Campbell and Jean-Michel improved the bvh importer: faster, better float units scaling (by Campbell); supports Poser 3.01 files (by jms).
Thanks guys!
-- applied patch by Michael Reimpell that lets scripts registration info be either commented out or not (commented, it doesn't interfere with Python documentation tools. The patch also fixes potential overflows, thanks (and sorry for the confusion) again, Michael.
-- fixed NMesh_hasFaceUV, it was returning true for false and vice-versa. Reported by Jonas Petersen with patch, thanks.
-- added 'homedir' and 'uscriptsdir' to Blender.Get() to get Blender's home dir and the user defined scripts dir.
-- related to the above doc updates.
-- fixed bug #1689:
http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=125&aid=1689&group_id=9
Reported by Tom Musgrove (thanks), the problem was that Window.QHandle was not passing events to windows that had id's below the current active window. It was a stupid mistake (mine), the code was iterating from curarea instead of from the first area in the areabase list.
-- fixed bug #1568:
http://projects.blender.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1568&group_id=9&atid=125
Stephen investigated the problem, reported by Gabriel Beloin, and left hints in the bug report, thanks :). I also implemented what he suggested, now Effect.Get('objname') returns a list with all objname's effects and as before, Get('objname, position') returns the effect at position 'position'. Ref doc already updated.
-- Allowed menu registration lines to appear commented out -- Python comments: '#', of course -- (suggested by Michael Reimpell) in scripts:
Some Python doc tools need the doc strings between triple double-quotes, so to avoid conflicts scripts writers can now comment out the registration code, it should work anyway. Michael also provided a patch for this a few days ago, too (thanks), but to keep changes at a minimum because of proximity to a release I didn't use it.
- move static declarations and data definitions out of headers.
the BGL module still need cleaning.
- move declarations out of modules.h and into appropriate .h files.
modules.h still exists as a container for the few modules that
need to #include almost everything.
- all files now have a $Id tag and have been formatted by indent
there are no changes to executable code.
pre-commit versions are tagged with bpy-cleanup-pre-20041007
for the sake of paranoia.
- making Blender not warn about 2.34 scripts, as Ton requested. Will turn this on again before release;
- small fix to the new helpwebsites and helpsystem additions in BPy_menus.c, should solve problem reported by Jean-Luc Peurière about empty menus on startup;
- updated version info of a few scripts to 2.34, since they use recently added bpython api functions.
Thanks to Willian for integrating the webbrowser module.
Some of the URLs (Python reference, Release notes) will
need to be updated upon release. These are contained in
http://www.blender3d.org/Help/index.php
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.
-- new try so that scripts place their guis and file selectors in proper places:
should be ok now for any but the really weirdest screen layouts, will be updated when scripts are added to other menus in the interface.
-starting updates and new additions for Blender 2.34:
Some of the new scripts require Python modules not builtin with Blender, so you either need a full Python install or the needed extra modules. This is an ongoing work, there should be more scripts, better testing and also proper ways to tell users they don't have all expected modules. It's expected that Win users won't need full Python installs, since we can provide a minimal zip with the needed modules from 2.34 on.
Thanks to Anthony D'Agostino (scorpius), Jean-Michel Soler (jms) and Campbell Barton (Cam / ideasman) for donating the scripts now added / updated.
BPython:
-added two new script menu groups: Tools and Utils. We still need to find places elsewhere in the gui where the groups can be put.
in the UV/Image editor 'UVs' menu
Script authors can use:
Group: 'UV'
in the headers of their scripts to let them appear in
this menu.
* Updated the UV Face Layout script to reside in the UVs
menu, rather than the (incorrect) File->Export menu.
- 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.
- Scripts that ended without an [eol] (end of line char) would give syntax errors when called from menus.
Now all loaded menu scripts have '\\n\\0' appended to them, not only '\\0' as before.
- bug #1146: Kester reported a Valgrind warning, should be fixed now.
win32 from locating .blender/scripts.
I'm hoping other OSes are a little more forgiving about these things...
but PLEASE test, else we may need to #ifdef it.
- as proposed by Ton, default dir for menu enabled scripts is:
userhome/.blender/scripts if available or (using bprogname -- argv[0]),
blenderInstallationDir/.blender/scripts/ otherwise.
- moved a piece of code from BPY_interface.c to BPY_menus.c to get rid
of a linkage warning reported by J. Walton
-- added the first scripts to release/scripts:
We need time to get more scripts there, but the situation should improve
consistently from now on. Adding three export scripts: cal3d, directX, ac3d.
And one import: ac3d.
- G.f's G_DEBUG flag was being erased in blenkernel/intern/blender.c's
setup_app_data:
G.f= bfd->globalf
// added a line above it to fix this:
if (G.f & G_DEBUG) bfd->globalf |=G_DEBUG;
G.f= bfd->globalf;
BPython:
- debug info now only shown if Blender is started with '-d' option
- added ~/.blender/scripts to modules sys.path
- added two new functions to Blender.sys: basename and splitext
- added doc for Blender.sys, updated other docs
- local tentative fix for BLI_gethome(), which returns '.blender' appended only
on some Windows systems. Created bpymenu_gethome() to check and
add '.blender' if needed.
- changed name: .Bpymenus to Bpymenus as suggested by GSR
- trivial additions:
Object module: added methods .set/getSize
Armature/Bone module: bone.set???() methods now accept both n
floats or a list of n floats: fff or (fff). All these additions were requested
by user Carlos Lopez (Klopes).
- New doc: for module Registry.
- now the file .Bpymenus is in ~/.blender/, please delete the old one
- both ~/.blender/scripts/ and (if set) user pref scripts dir are scanned for scripts
- 2 scripts of the same group with the same name, one in each dir: user pref overwrites the other's entry
- fixed the problem with trailing backslash, was my fault (used NULL instead of "/" for relbase in BLI_make_file_string
- slightly changed msgs to be less verbose and parsing to be more forgiving
- if a script registers with a wrong group, 'Misc' is used instead
- 'Blender' tag is now checked, gives a warning (notice) msg if script is newer than Blender program
Blender.NMesh module and doc:
- added vertex.sel var to get/set selection state of vertex.
-- this finishes the heavier part (not counting tweaks and possible bugs) of
letting scripts be accessed from Blender menus. Will explain more in emails
to bf and bpython lists, but just check
source/blender/python/BPY_menus.[hc] and
source/blender/src/header_info.c and header_script.c for details.
Scripts need a small update (registering info, basically a header) to be used.
Scripts dir (user pref file paths: Python) must be set.
