* Popup menus now remember the last clicked item again.
* Modifier and File Format menus are now organized in multiple
columns with categories.
* Hook, explode, uv project modifiers have all their buttons
again with the relevant operators implemented.
* Modifiers that can't be added by the user, or don't work on
curves for example, are not in the menu anymore.
* Fix search menu overlapping buttons when near the bottom of
the screen.
* Fix uv layers search menu not working in some modifiers.
* Cleanup popup menu code a bit, layout engine is used in more
cases now instead of ugly position calculation code.
* Added OBJECT_OT_mode_set for setting the object mode. Takes one property, "mode", which can be any of the OB_MODE_* flags. The available modes are limited based on the active object (e.g. only meshes can have sculptmode, and so forth.)
* Set the icon properties in the object mode enum RNA
TODO:
At this point I think everything is ready to start ripping out the ugly hacks in view3d_header for setting the mode :)
- It is possible to work with MetaBalls in edit mode now
- Added basic UI to the button window (feel free to change it :-))
- Header menus should work
- Undo & redo should work
- Removed global variable editelems and lastelem (moved it to the MetaBall struct)
- All tools from old editmball.c was converted to the operators
- Added lastelem to the RNA
- Experimental: mb->editelems is only pointer at mb->elems or NULL (depends on Mode). ListBase of MetaElems is not duplicated in edit mode.
Tested with scons at Linux and mac OS X
TODO:
- Recalc data after Undo or Redo
- Solve issue with basic MetaBall and Python UI script (only base MetaBall object influence Wiresize and Threshold)
- Fix orientation of manipulator in "Normal mode"
The code has been ported to the operator+rna system, however, there are currently issues related to how the pointer-rna's work for use as operator properties. (NOTE: RNA_property_pointer_set only takes into account builtin props for now, but not id-props, while the corresponding get method seems to take them into account)
The alternative to using pointer-properties for the operator, is to store strings and look up the relevant objects later, but there should be a nicer way...
Outliner: brought back to near full functioning:
- proper operators, like for open/close items, exec operations
(note: select is still same operator as activate, should
become modal ops later)
- rename works again (ctrl+click)
- proper notifiers for redraws
- select / extend select works again
- editmode in/out works again
- enter key opens/closes again
- right mouse operations work again
Didn't do:
- options for Sequence strips
- signals to change button views on clicks
- error/warning messages
UI:
- added new uiButSetRenameFunc(), which passes on the old name
- added uiButActiveOnly(), which ensures a button gets created in
active state, and gets removed when used. Needed for editing
names in outliner.
Andrea: check outliner.c for uiButActiveOnly(), very easy to use!
Also:
- Added posemode operator, CTRL+TAB tied to it.
* Add/Remove IK now works again using Shift-I and Ctrl-Alt-I as before. The code for this is now located in editconstraint.c for now...
* Adding constraints with automatically added targets works again. It's a relief that the old code still works (with a minor tweak)
Constraints:
* Adding constraints with targets should now work.
-- (When no target is provided, the code to create a new target is not yet in place again yet)
* Constraints can be added in Object and PoseModes again using the Ctrl-Shift-C hotkey.
* All constraints can now be cleared from the active Object or selected Bones using the Ctrl-Alt-C hotkey.
* Added warnings when adding constraints invalid for the current context, and removed the old add_constraint() function.
* Buttons window updates correctly after adding keyframes now
Keyframes Drawing:
* Removed un-necessary extra function-call for RB-Tree implementation, by inlining a special one-off case.
* Keyframe diamonds which are not within the viewable area are now not drawn (but filtering will still need to find them).
* Added Relations panel with layers, pass_index, parent.
* Groups panel now can do add to group/remove from group.
* Parent, parent type, track are now editable.
* Separate constraint add operator for object and bones.
* 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.
* 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)
* 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.
* 3D view Mesh menu works again, but incomplete.
* Add Properties and Toolbar to 3D View menu.
* Added "specials" menus back, vertex/edge/face and general.
* Various fixes in existing mesh operators, some were not working.
* Add MESH_OT_merge.
* Merge all subdivide ops into MESH_OT_subdivide, subdivide code
changes to make smooth + multi give good results.
* Rename all select inverse ops to *_OT_select_inverse.
* Fix "search for unknown operator" prints at startup, and some
warnings in py code.
* Don't run .pyc files on startup.
* Remove unused image window header C code.
* Lattices: properties editable, editmode operators, menus working
again. As a bonus you can now edit u/v/w in editmode.
* Shape Keys: some code cleanup, and added more buttons. The
value/min/max buttons don't work correct yet though.
* Fix issue with uv textures, vertex colors not being visible outside
editmode, and a few other issue. Mesh.edit_mesh is now NULL when
not in editmode.
All kinds of changes to get it ready for UI layouts. This means RNA
and operators should be working correct, but most buttons are still
not actually there yet.
* Added near empty soft body, fluid, field and collision panels,
tweaks to cloth panels.
* Fluid bake works, but without escape or showing any progress.
* Fluid/Softbody/Cloth/Collision can now be both added as modifiers
or in the physics panels.
* Missing: fields & soft body for particles.
* Missing: proper updating softbodies, guess this code still needs
updates after pointcache refactor?
RNA
* Added the relevant active_*_index properties, with proper
get/set/range, updates and notifiers.
* Context.tool_settings.
* ToolSettings.vertex_group_weight.
Operators
* MESH_OT_uv_texture_add/remove
* MESH_OT_vertex_color_add/remove
* MESH_OT_sticky_add/remove
* OBJECT_OT_vertex_group_add/remove/assign/remove_from/
select/deselect/copy/copy_to_linked
* OBJECT_OT_shape_key_add/remove
UI
* Some updates and cleanups in list template code.
Known issue: when going in & out of editmode, uv textures and vertex
colors dissappear. I thought me->edit_mesh would be NULL when not in
edit mode but it is not?
* Make modifier and constraint templates use left/right alignment for
buttons in the header.
* Added mdef bind operator as an example of how to use local context
for a modifier, and add some code I forgot to commit last time to
make this system actually work.
* Added Constraints template and Add Constraint operator.
* Added toggle=True/False parameter to uiItemR, to get a
toggle button (actual button) rather than an "option"
button (checkbox)
* Added OPTION/OPTIONN button type, to distinguish with
TOG/TOGN.
RNA:
* Make all modifier pointers editable, including correct updates.
* Added notifiers and updates to constraints.
* Fix a stack corruption, pointed out by Andrea, and potentially
causing crashes.
Added subdivide operator and button for multires.
Since this seems to be the only modifier with an operator defined, I'm not sure if I put it in a good place or not, someone can check on this?
* Made separator item work horizontal & vertical.
* Add colon (:) automatic for int/float/enum/string.
* Added space variables to uiStyle and use them in the
layout engine.
* Added initial World buttons by Thomas Dinges, thanks!
* Added some code for modifiers in the Object Data context.
This will become a template though.
* Use a common poll() callback in the scripts to reduce code.
- use select as a suffix eg UV_OT_loop_select -> UV_OT_select_loop
- Each select all operator was using slightly different wording...
select_all, deselect_all, de_select_all, select_de_select_all -> select_all_toggle
- selection -> select
- POSE_OT_select_connected -> POSE_OT_select_linked to match other operators
- NODE_OT_delete_selection -> NODE_OT_delete since its not used in other operators
- ANIM_OT_previewrange_define -> ANIM_OT_previewrange_set to match other operators
- NODE_OT_fit_all -> NODE_OT_view_all to match other operators
- View2D_OT_* -> VIEW2D_OT_* to match VIEW3D
- View2D_OT_view_downscroll -> VIEW2D_OT_scroll_down more logical
- removed MARKER_OT_mouseselect_extend and made extend a boolean property of MARKER_OT_mouseselect
- MARKER_OT_mouseselect -> MARKER_OT_select
- GROUP_OT_group_remove -> GROUP_OT_objects_remove more logical since its removing objects from groups
- MESH_OT_removedoublesflag -> MESH_OT_remove_doubles
- redundant words MESH_OT_split_mesh -> MESH_OT_split, OBJECT_OT_object_delete -> OBJECT_OT_delete
renamed selection operator properties
extend_select -> extend
column_select -> column
select_children_only -> children_only
... Since these are all in the context of selection operators there is no need for the extra 'select' in the property name.
Updated docs
http://www.graphicall.org/ftp/ideasman42/html/bpyoperator-module.html
them nicely repeatable, and splitting up the big edit_text
operator into individual operator so it's all nicely scriptable,
documented, configurable, etc..
* Insert Text, Line Break, Insert Lorem
* Toggle Case, Set Case, Toggle Style, Set Style, Set Material
* Copy Text, Cut Text, Paste Text, Paste File, Paste Buffer
* Move, Move Select, Delete
* Change Spacing, Change Character
Notes
* Text (datablock) to Object doesn't work yet, will need to
implement text editor context for that.
* Some shortcut keys don't work because screen/wm overrides them,
ctrl+x, ctrl+left/right. That override goes top down which works
well for some cases, but here we need to override in the other
direction.
* There's no unicode support in RNA, or the user interface code
for that matter, but text strings can contain these characters.
At the moment it stores a UTF-8 string in char arrays, which is
supposed to be nicely compatible with ascii. Seems reasonable to
add support for UTF-8 in the interface code, python bindings, ..
eventually?
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.
Simple toolbox-style menu system. Brecht will review it
though, and/or check on way to use it for menus.
I tried to avoid uiBlock and rna stuff all over. :)
Quick image test:
http://www.blender.org/bf/rt.jpg
Examples you can read in:
- editors/screen/screen_ops.c:testing123() (press F5)
- editors/object/object_edit.c:object_add_primitive_invoke()
(press SHIFT+A)
Concept is simple:
uiMenuBegin(): returns a handle.
uiMenuEnd(): puts it all to work.
In between you can add items like:
uiMenuItemVal(): a name, icon, retval (use uiMenuFunc())
uiMenuItemO(): an operator + icon
uiMenuItemEnumO(): an operator, property name, value
Sublevels go easy too:
uiMenuLevel(): creates item for sublevel, with function pointer.
Inside that function you can use all menu calls again.
Levels can go as deep you want.
uiMenuLevelEnumO(): creates operator sublevel for an enum
ANIM_OT_toggle_time -> ANIM_OT_time_toggle
SCULPT_OT_toggle_mode -> SCULPT_OT_sculptmode_toggle
UV_OT_select_inverse -> UV_OT_select_invert
NODE_OT_toggle_visibility -> NODE_OT_visibility_toggle
OBJECT_OT_toggle_editmode -> OBJECT_OT_editmode_toggle
toggle was used last in other operators eg- VIEW3D_OT_vpaint_toggle and VIEW3D_OT_wpaint_toggle.
'invert' was used everywhere else.
*****
- made Group operators more atomic, no menus, able to build on top of each other
- add/remove selected from group will be done later
- new notifier is needed, ton will code
- Group Create adds the object to the new group, and a string can be passed to it toi make a custum named group from Py, etc
-keymaps remains the same (ctrl-g, create group - alt-ctrl-g, remove object from all groups)
- Added 2 more operators , GROUP_OT_objects_remove_active (alt-shift-g) , GROUP_OT_objects_add_active (ctrl-shift-g)
- adds/removes object from groups that are attached to the active object
******
- Ported , add selected to group (Ctrl-G), remove selected from group(Alt-Ctrl-G)
- add selected now has a add new entry which will put the object into a new group
- remove selected now has an ALL option which removes the object from all groups
- remove code is currently very messy, this will have to do until a better solution arrises, menus return strings instead of numbers perhaps
- add/remove to/from group of active object still need to be done
- Added shift+d duplicate for object and editmode mesh.
Note it uses WM_operator_name_call(), which is fine now,
but in future might put again 2 undo's and operators on
the stack.
Will have to spend some time on how Macros will work!
- added itterator CTX_selected_editable_objects()
(named it first "edible" but that was too funny!)
Also cleaned object_edit.c to use this correctly.
- added CTX_wm_view3d(), especially for hybrid tools
that *can* use view3d, but don't have to.
- moved debug -d print for operators to the real invoke call
Another one back: editcurve.c
- removed global editNurb everywhere
(cu->editnurb now has listbase with edit data)
- also added 'active bpoint' and 'active nurb' in
Curve struct
- editmode in/out works, mouse/border select works
- restored three more C files: editlattice, editkey
and editgroup
- editmode lattice working, (mouse select works)
- accidentally removed yesterday 3d cursor drawing
- removed global editLatt entirely now.
*******
- Ported ObData to center, center new and centur cursor
- its currently 1 operator
- no warning or error popups until its figured out how best to do so
- possibly full of ugly code and things done worng way, had a hard time trying to understand this code
- some more house cleaning and removal of unused functions
Instead of many commits, here 1!
- Constraint edit code back
- Removed XXX stubs for constraints
(make parent follow path works)
- Removed XXX stubs for armature
(make parent deform, do center, etc works)
- Found a bad uninitialized global Scene * in code, especially
in kernel it wreaked havoc.
- added missing include in blenkernel/brush.c
- fixed Nicholas' fix for editmode subsurf crash
(It needed to check for editmode)
*******
- Ported show/hide objects as the clear/set restrictview operators (request of kaito)
- clear is not using a context loop as there is none currently available
- set uses a popup menu for hide select and hide unselected
hotkeys are H and Alt-H (set, clear)
- ported the undo calles, to use ED_undo_push where available
********
- added clear location/rotation/scale/origin
- each action is a seperate operator
- Drawing is delayed as the tag_region_redraw does not seem to have an effect perhaps a transformation notifier is needed
- for the view to update just do some transformation, like press G
- changed the shortcut key for area rip to alt-ctrl-r so it dosn't conflict with clear rotation
So, editmode mesh is back! :)
At the moment only TABkey works and mouse select, 1 vertex at a
time. More will follow of course.
Note for the devs:
- G.editMesh has been removed, be careful with old code.
- EditMesh now is property of Mesh itself
Although it means unlimited editmodes, for migration purposes we
better stick to 1 "obedit" per scene, which is in Context too
- G.obedit will get removed soon, so use CTX_data_edit_object(C)
Or if you can't, just scene->obedit for now
- Also removed the CTX_data_edit_mesh(), this has no meaning
anymore. EditMesh is not context senstitive anymore, only the
edit-object for time being is.
- Martin: I've already tucked some EditMesh pointer in T and
removed all G.editMesh there.
******
- ported Make track , and Clear track (ctrl-t, Alt-t)
- make track is a direct port does not use context data loops
- make Track crashes as Constraints have not been ported yet
- added select_extend to mouse select so now you can use shift again
- Still does not use Context data loops as this get all messed up, kaito can you look into it
- currently only works with 1 modifier key at a time so ctrl+alt does not work, until i can figure out how best to achieve this
