* Objects now support up to 32767 material slots. It's easy to
increase this further, but I prefer not to increase the memory
usage of mesh faces, it seems unlikely that someone would
create 32767 distinct materials?
* Forward compatibility: the only thing you can potentially lose
reading a 2.5 file in 2.4 is object linking (instead of default
data), though usually that will go fine too. Reading files with
> 32 material slots in 2.4 can start giving issues.
* The ob->colbits variable is deprecated by the array ob->matbits
but I didn't remove the ob->colbits updates in very few places
it is set.
* I hope I changed all the relevant things, various places just
hardcoded the number 16 instead of using the MAXMAT define.
* Join Objects operator back. This is using the version from the
animsys2 branch coded by Joshua, which means it now supports
joining of shape keys.
* Fix for crash reading file saved during render.
- Keyed targets in one list instead of "chaining", this opens up many more possibilities than before and is much less obscure.
- Better keyed timing possibilities (time & duration in frames).
- Looping over keyed targets list.
Other changes:
- New child setting "length" with threshold (great for guard & underfur with a single particle system)
- Modularization of path interpolation code.
- Cleared "animateable" flags from many particle settings that shouldn't be animateable.
Fixes:
- Keyed particles weren't copied properly (ancient bug).
- Hair rotations depended on global z-axis for root rotation so downward facing strands could flip rotation randomly. Now initial hair rotation is derived from face dependent hair matrix. (This caused for example ugly flipping of child strands on some cases).
- Children from faces weren't calculated straight after activating them.
- Multiple disk cache fixes:
* Disk cache didn't work correctly with frame steps.
* Conversion from memory cache to disk cache didn't work with cloth.
* Disk cache crashed on some frames trying to close an already closed cache file.
* Trails didn't work with disk cached particles.
- Child rough effects were effected by emitter object loc/rot making them next to useless with animation, why didn't anybody tell me this!!
- Lots of random code cleanup.
* bugfix: parent on linux didn't account for first slash
* added some BLI_cleanup_dir to prevent weird directory names
* revert to old directory if user types bogus text.
Shift+Enter in the text editor executes the TEXT_OT_line_console operator defined in space_text.py
The operator's class stores a namespace for each text block.
Eventually this should have its own input rather then using the text editor.
Tested with py3.1 and 2.6
TEXT_OT_insert was only using the first char from a string, added support for inserting strings.
* tweak for autocomplete, only update live if live_update and TAB key is hit. (Brecht, please check if it's ok, otherwise will revert and we'll find another way)
* adding slash at the end of directory to allow for faster autocomplete
* bugfix: directory name buton had wrong length
* bugfix: adding back adding the region on read of old files
* tweak: buttons for increment/decrement file number now have icons and size adjusted to UI_UNIT_X/UI_UNIT_Y
* Split strips now uses the current frame as the splitting-point for selected strips if the current frame falls within in the bounds of the strip. Otherwise, the code defaults to splitting by the midpoints of the strips.
* Time-range for Graph Editor is saner now when there is only a single keyframe or none at all.
* Fixed crash when anim-playback is running and a strip beside a transition gets transformed.
Transition strips no-longer assume that their neighbours are action-clips, using the standard NLA-strip evaluation function instead to evaluate their neighbours. However, a check for ping-pong recursion needed to be added there, so that a transition beside a meta-strip, with the meta having a transition nested at the start of one of its levels, wouldn't fail with stack overflow.
* Moved 'Tweak Mode' menu entry to Edit menu, since it's not really that modal.
* Text window font size now supports full range 8-32, instead of
just 12 and 15. I added BLF_fixed_width to get the character
width of a fixed size font.
* Buttons do undo push on change again.
* Animated/Keyframe/Driver colors are now themable, with blend
value to blend with original color. Set this to 0.5 now to
give colors less constrast.
* Fix tooltip popping up with RMB menu open, and missing redraw.
* Autokeyframe now works for buttons.
* Driver expressions can be edited in place in a button now.
(still some refresh issues).
* Also made python driver default for the Add Driver function
in the RMB button. This way you don't have to open a Graph
editor if you just want to type an expression. Also, the
default expression then is the current value.
* Tooltips now show some extra info, not sure what is good to
have, but currently I added:
* Shortcut key for operator buttons.
* Python struct & property name for RNA buttons.
* Expression for driven values.
* Value for text/search/pointer buttons.
Made transform confirm or cancel on mouse up. More inline with button clicking and better for tablets.
Add operator params to make sure Rip and Extrude turn off PET and Mirror correctly.
Note: sorry for all the whitespace changes, I need to reconfigure this editor not to do autocleanup.
* refcount error if StringIO or io modules could not be imported
* importing python modules like math didnt work because the script registration overwrote the script path. now just prepend the path.
* Code to start moving 3D view header and panels to python, at
the moment the View menu and one empty panel is in python. The
C header code is wrapped in one template, so parts of that can
be moved over while still keeping things working.
* Fix for mistake in RNA enum commit yesterday, and some warning
fixes.
* Move Up/Down and Delete are now operators
* Made TrackTo constraint use expanded enum toggles for up axis too.
--> BUG ALERT: specifying name and expand in the arguments to itemR doesn't work (name gets skipped)
DopeSheet and Graph Editor operators were missing these, since many of these operators were written before that field was added.
NLA Editor's operators already have them.
(19863 to 21513)
Highlights of the new NLA System (and related Animation System changes):
* NLA Data is stored in AnimData alongside Action and Drivers. The NLA stack is evaluated before the Action, with the Action always overriding the results of the stack.
* NLA Data is arranged in 'Tracks', which act like PhotoShop layers. These can be muted, protected, and/or made to be played back by themselves
* Within each track, there can be multiple 'Strips'. There are 3 types of strip -> Action Clip (references some action), Transition (blends between the endpoints of two strips), and Meta (container for several strips that occur sequentially)
* FModifiers can be applied to strips, and strips can have animated influence/time controls. Playback for strips can also be backwards now!
* Playback can now go in forward and backwards directions.
* Animation Editors have been polished (unfinished features added, existing features cleaned up and made more consistent)
Notes for BuildSystem Maintainers:
* Only scons has been actively tested. Makefiles should work fine.
* MSVC ProjectFiles are broken due to the very way they work.
* CMake status unknown...
Other notes:
* Hopefully I haven't made any mistakes while doing the merge. More files than expected were showing some weird conflicts, so you may have some broken code...
* Not all old files (with NLA) data load exactly the same anymore. However, the bulk of the files out there should be ok (I hope)
In order to be able to better identify NLA Strips (and to reduce the complexity of the text on them), I've implemented a name property for the strips. The names are made to be unique within the AnimData block the strip comes from, though this may not always happen if not enough relevant context info is present to validate this.
This are freetype2 options:
Unfitted - Scaled but un-grid-fitted kerning distances
Default - Scaled and grid-fitted kerning distances
We always use Unfitted, but the "Default" style give better result here,
so please test and if nobody complain we can set this style as the default.
Matt, I found the problem in one of my previous commit, so I revert
all my changes and now the font look good again.
Also remove all the options (kerning, overlap and user kerning), I want
to make this a little better.
* Enums can now be dynamically created in the _itemf callback,
using RNA_enum_item(s)_add, RNA_enum_item_end. All places asking
for enum items now need to potentially free the items.
* This callback now also gets context, this was added specifically
for operators. This doesn't fit design well at all, needed to do
some ugly hacks, but can't find a good solution at the moment.
* All enums must have a default list of items too, even with an
_itemf callback, for docs and fallback in case there is no context.
* Used by MESH_OT_merge, MESH_OT_select_similar, TFM_OT_select_orientation.
* Also changes some operator properties that were enums to booleas
(unselected, deselect), to make them consistent with other ops.
* bugfix: don't allow parent dir to go beyond root
* bugfix: only attempt to change directory if it exists
New (WIP) feature: autocomplete for directory
* works on TAB
* so far only one level (in current directory)
* Fix missing update when browsing to different text.
* Fix wrong spacing in font size 15 drawing in the text editor.
* Fix numbers not updating in color picker buttons.
* directory button enabled again, c code for now, can later become nicer operator
* filename button enabled (pattern match for selection)
* RNA completed (title, file and directory)
* some unused code removal.
Render usability:
- Option back to render to imagewindow, or fullscreen.
The latter is default. Setting is stored in Scene.
- Added button in output panel, the option "to new window" will follow!
- F11 again toggles render view
(moved MS Windows "full screen" to shift+F11 for now)
* 3D view Object menu works again, many operators missing still
because they are not yet implemented.
* Constraint types now have separator, and fix too much spacing
in the constraints header.
The 'jumping-views' problem affected the NLA and DopeSheet editors, whereby the channels-list and the data-area would get out of sync (vertically) due to the size calculations of the two being done differently.
I've gone through all the Animation Editor operators, making sure they send appropriate notifiers, and that these notifiers are handled.
* Added a separate category for animation-related notifiers, since the old-style ones attached to specific datatypes only was turning out to be not too feasible.
* For now, the focus has been on making sure that all Animation Editors update when there have been any potentially suitable changes at all. Later on, we can filter these more carefully to only take the ones we really need (for optimisation purposes)
Now this will return True
isinstance(bpy.data.meshes[0], bpy.types.Mesh)
Use the StructRNA identifier for the new classes name properties because classes were being named by the data names rather then the type names.
Set the __module__ for the new type which makes printing the class not use the script name where the type is first initialized.
eg: bpy.types.Mesh instead of buttons_object.Mesh
This still isnt quite right since opertators and panels all get their own type, when they should all use an operator type.
* Renamed the 'blend' blending mode to 'replace', since that's what it usually does
* Drawing a darkened rect behind the keyframes shown in the action line
--
* Fixed typo made last night which broke compiling
* Consolidated all the keyframe-shape drawing code to use a single codebase. Even if we don't ultimately go with OpenGL keyframes, there's always a tidy option for that now.
* Weight paint: brush strength was changed to both define weight
and strength, this can't work, made them separate buttons.
* Allow adding particle system as modifier (fix crash).
* 3D view modal ops (zoom ..) could not be ended when invoked
from a button.
* Fix some warnings.
* Fix spelling in particle RNA property.
