- move object_iterators.c --> view3d_iterators. (ED_object.h had to include ED_view3d.h which isn't so nice)
- move projection functions from view3d_view.c --> view3d_project.c (view3d_view was becoming a mishmash of utility functions and operators).
- some some cmake includes as system-includes.
This would only paint onto faces from the active material. however we're better off using selection here IMHO (adding support for material selection in paint mask mode).
also quiet some warnings.
- building without python works again
- rename maxi/mini to i_max/i_min (so thay are available for function names)
- some minor edits to IK stretch setting (no functional changes).
Blender's import function check's the Text datablocks in main for additional modules for importing. However, libloaded scenes were 1) not loading Text datablocks and 2) not letting bpy know about them. Text datablocks are now loaded if a Scene is loaded and bpy can now looking through extra Mains to find additional modules.
========================
The linear and angular thresholds set the speed limit (in m/s) and rotation limit (in rad/s)
under which a rigid body will go to sleep (stop moving) if it stays below the limits for a
time equal or longer than the deactivation time (sleeping is disabled is deactivation time is
set to 0).
These settings help reducing the processing spent on Physics during the game.
Previously they were only accessible from python but not working because of a bug.
Now the python functions are working and the settings are available in the Physics panel
of the World settings when using the Blender Game render engine.
Python API:
import PhysicsConstraints
PhysicsConstraints.setDeactivationLinearTreshold(float)
PhysicsConstraints.setDeactivationAngularTreshold(float)
===============================================
This patch adds a new "Character" BGE physics type which uses Bullet's btKinematicCharacter for simulation instead of full-blown dynamics. It is appropiate for (player-controlled) characters, for which the other physics types often result unexpected results (bouncing off walls, sliding etc.) and for which simple kinematics offers much more precision.
"Character" can be chosen like any other physics type in the "Physics" section of the properties window. Current settings for tweaking are "Step Height" (to make the object automatically climb small steps if it collides with them), "Fall Speed" (the maximum speed that the object can have when falling) and "Jump Speed", which is currently not used.
See http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=127&aid=28476&group_id=9
for sample blends and a discussion on the patch: how to use it and what influences the behavior of the character object.
Known problem: there is a crash if the "compound" option is set in the physics panel of the Character object.
