This fix the problem of not being able to play animations created with Blender 2.5 in BGE. Patch reviewed by Benoit
Added also other parent to modifier conversions as requested by Joshua (aligorith). I didn't bump subversion here, but the patch should work still. If not I'm increasing subversion sooner anyways (tomorrow or by the middle of the week I hope).
I was waiting to commit this one together with the Logic Editor datablock patch (converting material_name DNA properties to struct Material *). However my patch is getting too big and it's better if it's alone (easier to analyze later, eventual fixes, ...)
Mitchell, this commit adds a function that can help hardware skinning - HasArmatureDeformer()
Rotations are now stored internally as radians, while exposing degrees in the UI -
in the graph editor and UI controls. This is done in two areas:
1) Using the unit system to convert RNA data to display as degrees in the UI controls
2) FCurves now use degrees for rotation, so you can edit in the graph editor what
you see in the UI.
All rotation data is consistently accessible in DNA and RNA as radians, degrees are only
used for the UI controls and graph editor.
This commit includes conversions will convert old files (stored data and also fcurve data)
to the new units, hopefully everything should go smoothly!
Part of this also changes a few properties that were hard-coded as degrees before (such
as IK pole angle and brush texture rotation) to also use the same consistent system of
radians (dna/rna) and degrees (ui).
Thanks to Joshua for hints and review here too.
this bug was introduced in Blender 2.49 (probably my own fault, in other part of the code though while fixing support for IPOs in GLSL Lamps).
The good news is: GLSL Lamps looks in BGE like working perfectly now.
Multitexture on the other hand is not supporting "negative" lamps (with the checkbox option on).
From my search (svn blame+log) it looks like multitexture never had negative lamp working. Actually in Blender 2.34 when this was introduced in BGE (maybe in Blender as well?) I couldn't see negative lamps working either. It's hard to test this with Blender 2.34 though (it even crash with my test file).
Now the default eye separation value is 0.10 (reasonable for games with 1 meter == 1 B.U.
The focallength used is the camera focal length (DOF settings). It allow you to even use different focal lengths for different scenes (good for UI)
In order to change it you can change the camera focal length or use Rasterizer.setFocalLength.
If you use the Rasterizer method it will use this value for all the cameras.
ToDo:
- Blenderplayer settings
- Update wiki documentation (any volunteer)?
* Note to stereo fans:
I don't have a real stereo environment to test it (other than cheap cyan-red glasses). If you can give it a try in a more robust system and report bugs or problems with BGE current system please let me know. I would be glad to help to make it work 100% by the time Blender 2.5 is out.
For the record, BGE is using the method known as 'parallel axis asymmetric frustum perspective projection'. This method is well documented here:
http://local.wasp.uwa.edu.au/~pbourke/miscellaneous/stereographics/stereorender/
Even a static mesh can be used as replacement: the mesh
will be instantiated with the soft body settings of the
object. The position and orientation of the soft body
is preserved after the replacement.
Known limitation: the velocity of the soft body is reset
aftet the replacement. This is because soft body don't
have a well defined velocity.
How it works now:
whenever you have to read/write object names you can do it without the prefix "OB". (it's not hard at all to fix scripts)
How it was before:
It was a mess :)
We had an inconsistent API where sometimes you had to input "OBname" and other "name" directly to assign object as data (usually in actuators).
Justification for the change:
Talking with Campbell we had since a while ago this feeling that this should be changed any time we were going to deprecate the API. So in order to deliver Blender 2.5beta0 with a more close-to-the-final API we decided that today was a good day to implement that.
Remaining issues:
1) VideoTexture uses IM or MA to identify the output material/texture. I haven't touched that, but it does look a bit off. (i.e. I didn't changed any MA, IM naming)
2) I didn't see the code of dynamic mesh. It may need to be edited as well.
* Convert all code to use new functions.
* Branch maintainers may want to skip this commit, and run this
conversion script instead, if they use a lot of math functions
in new code:
http://www.pasteall.org/9052/python
- rna vars arm.bones.active & rna.edit_bones.active
- needed special undo support.
- readfile.c loads.
- duplicate and copy_armature support.
- keep the draw flag, renamed to BONE_DRAW_ACTIVE, only use for openGL drawing.
Note: it may be better to allow active/unselected as with objects.
2.49a tries to remove the object from the conversion list every time. Now remove from the conversion list directly without being apart of the remove object function.
* 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.
Add support back for reinstancePhysics mesh, a frequently requested feature in the BGE forums.
from what I can tell Sumo supported this but bullet never did.
Currently only accessible via python at the moment.
- rigid body, dynamic, static types work.
- instanced physics meshes are modified too.
- compound shapes are not supported.
Physics mesh can be re-instanced from...
* shape keys & armature deformations
* subsurf (any other modifiers too)
* RAS_TexVert's (can be modified from python)
Moved the reinstancePhysicsMesh functions from RAS_MeshObject into KX_GameObject since the physics data is stored here.
video and blend file demo.

* 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.
Logic Panel:
- world settings (moved from world)
... that includes physic engine selection + gravity
- game player (from gamesettings, it wasn't wrapped)
- stereo/dome (from gamesettings, it wasn't wrapped)
... separated stereom into stereoflag and stereomode
- properties
... (didn't touch it)
Buttons Game Panel:
(wip panel)
- Physics (moved from Logic Panel)
... it will be a datablock in the future (right Campbell ?)
- Material Physics (not currently implemented)
... a datablock link to the materials of an object + the dynamic physic variables
* NOTE:
in readfile.c::do_version I couldn't do if(scene->world). There is something wrong with scenes with an unlinked world. So so far we are ignoring the old values....
* removed radiosity render code, DNA and RNA (left in radio render pass options), we'll get GI to replace this probably, better allow baking to vertex colors for people who used this.
* removed deprecated solid physics library, sumo integrations and qhull, a dependency
* removed ODE, was no longer being build or supported
* remove BEOS and AMIGA defines and references in Makefiles.
Note that the animation conversion from existing 2.4x blend files doesnt yet set the Action pointer in the actuator so the only way to test is to use the python api to set the new converted action active on the actuator because there is no user interface.
svn merge https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/blender -r19820:HEAD
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.
+ fixed Python method, PyArg_ParseTuple already checks for errors, no returning of NULL, thanks Campbell too)
+ added linear/angular spring for each of the 6DOFs of a generic 6dof constraint. This makes the generic 6dof constraint very versatile.

(todo: expose this setting in World setting GUI)
Expose contact processing threshold in Advanced GUI, next to rigid body margin, called CPT.
Default to 1, makes rigid body stacking a bit more stable, smaller values makes sliding easier (at the cost of easier jittering).
Disabled for 'dynamic' objects that don't rotate, because characters etc. always need smooth sliding.
SCA_RandomActuator: The random generator was shared between replicas and not deleted. Added ref counting between replicas to allow deletion at the end.
KX_Camera: The scenegraph node was not deleted for temporary cameras (ImageMirror and shadow), causing 500 bytes leak per frame and per shadow light.
KX_GameActuator: Global dictionary buffer was not deleted after saving.
KX_MotionState: The motion state for compound child was not deleted
KX_ReplaceMeshActuator: The mesh was unnecessarily converted for each actuator and not deleted, causing large memleak.
After these fix, YoFrankie runs without memleak.
Four new buttons in World settings to control frame rate:
fps: Nominal frame rate in frame per second.
Also sets the physics timestep = 1/fps
phys: Maximum number of physics timestep per game frame in case
the actual fps is less than nominal. This allows the
physics to keep up with real time even if the graphics slows
down the game.
sub: Fixed number of simulation substeps per physic timestep.
Improves the precision of the physics simulation. Useful for
fast moving objects for example.
log: Maximum number of logic steps per game frame in case the
actual fps is less than nominal. This allows the logic
system to follow the physics simulation.
Upper bound = phys
(setting the value higher than phys has no effect).
On games with heavy logic system, it is useful to set this
value to 1, to keep logic time under control.
All these values were already accessible from Python except phys:
GameLogic.getMaxPhysicsFrame():
Gets the maximum number of physics frame per render frame.
GameLogic.setMaxPhysicsFrame(phys):
Sets the maximum number of physics timestep that are executed per render frame.
Higher value allows physics to keep up with realtime even if graphics slows down the game.
Physics timestep is fixed and equal to 1/tickrate (see setLogicTicRate)
maxphysics/ticrate is the maximum delay of the renderer that physics can compensate.
phys: integer
