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)
Although there is currently code in place to listen to notifiers + tag updates for regions, these don't actually result in any changes yet. Everything still relies on 'manual' redraw tags for the entire area to have refreshes.
Render back! And not only back, even full threaded now. :)
Current state is unfinished, but too much fun to not to
commit for review and test!
WARNING: because render is in a threaded job, it will
use data as can be edited in the UI. That'll crash in many
cases of course... the idea is to limit UI usage to viewing
stuff, especially for the Image Window to inspect layers
or zoom in/out.
What works now;
- F12 render (no anim)
- ESC from render
- ESC pushes back temporary Image Window
- Render to ImageWindow or full-screen.
- Executing composites, and edit composites after render.
Note that the UI is 100% responsive in a render, you can
switch screens, slide area dividers around, or even load
a new file during render. :) It's quite stable even.
I'll collect all crash reports especially to get a good
picture of where the protection is required at least.
Also added: XKey "Delete Objects", to get things crash...
unfortunately it didn't for me.
- Weightpaint back (CTRL+TAB or menu)
Also weightpaint is sortof non-modal, allowing to use all existing
hotkeys while in paint mode. Only leftmouse is overridden.
- Made vpaint and wpaint entirely local, stored in scene (and saved!)
- Small bugfix (also in 2.48): on weightpaint mode, all armature objects
in 3d window were drawing as active poses. Now only the armature
deformer is.
Nice point for the UI agenda: are paint modes on ACTION mouse? Only then
you can combine it with SELECT mouse...
* Added crash fixes for loading old files with Actions/Armatures in them. Was caused by usage of some old globals still and the functions in question not performing NULL checks on the validity of the data they're given.
* Added back reorganise action channels tools (shift/ctrl-shif pageup/down) for Action Editor. These are only available in 'Action Mode' only.
* Tidied up Action Editor/Dopesheet tools code - removed various unused things, and also, added an API call in anim_deps.c to send the correct notifiers, since I anticipate that they're likely to require a few context checks which would be better to centralise than copy+paste everywhere.
Note to Ton: could you have a look at this notifier stuff here? I'm not sure which ones I should be sending...
* Also added a few assorted comments in various places
Think global, act local!
The old favorite G.scene gone! Man... that took almost 2 days.
Also removed G.curscreen and G.edbo.
Not everything could get solved; here's some notes.
- modifiers now store current scene in ModifierData. This is not
meant for permanent, but it can probably stick there until we
cleaned the anim system and depsgraph to cope better with
timing issues.
- Game engine G.scene should become an argument for staring it.
Didn't solve this yet.
- Texture nodes should get scene cfra, but the current implementation
is too tightly wrapped to do it easily.
* Start of Action/Pose syncing code (in anim_deps.c) This is currently not hooked up yet, as we still need to figure out where these should get called (due to a few dependencies they have - i.e. visibility syncing of channels is turned on/off by setting in appropriate views).
* Also added assorted comments/changes to rna/dna
* Brought back clean (OKEY), sample (Shift-OKEY), and delete (XKEY/DELKEY) tools for the Action Editor.
Currently clean uses a predefined threshold (as a rna-prop, though it's still lacking the popup to set this when it is called)
* Added new file for 'destructive' keyframe operations/tools.
* Got keyframing.c compiling. Now, some of these tools need to be operatorised. Also, the API there might change when enough of the system is stable for RNA-IPO work to take place (so that it can be tested).
Anim playback part 1 (needs more test, will do after commit)
- added the update_for_new_frame() back
- proper evaluation of time change notifier in WM level
- fixed redraw flushes for menus while animation plays.
Object: converted the old horrible editobject.c, now as file:
editors/object/object_edit.c
Still lots of WIP, I've operatorified "Make Parent". Check here
the new API at work: http://pasteall.org/3650/c
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR BRECHT:
game property defines were clashing with RNA, i've renamed game
defines for now.
