- new submodule Scene.Radio, for radiosity: still incomplete, but in shape for demos, updated SConscript to include it;
- new functions in Window module;
- doc updates: adding a todo file and a new start page for our docs: API_intro.py + other updates;
- small fix in Ipo.c provided by Damien McGuinnes (thanks!): Nathan has a patch with IPO additions and fixes for this and more, but until it is committed, there's this fix for Ipo.getCurve('LocX'), LocY, Z and QuatW,X,Y,Z too, according to Damien.
Other files:
- radpreprocess.c: added check for "during_script()" so eventual msgs don't popup during scripts;
- drawmesh.c: made a pointer (display list) be checked before accessed, fixes crash in scripts that forget to update display lists for subsurf meshes when a 3d view is in textured view mode.
Script: updated bevel_center by Loic Berthe.
-- splash screen disappeared (duh, I did that!) and Blender quits upon exiting from some 225 games:
It was troublesome to find how to run demos in general with the screen correctly redrawn before they started, etc. Ended up making the above error in screenmain(). About the games, I don't have them and will need some time to get the files for testing, but I'll do it, though only on linux.
BPython:
-- Window: added GetScreens, SetScreen and improved GetScreenInfo.
-- Object, NMesh: updated (added in NMesh) method getMaterials to return either only valid materials as before or also empty slots (as None). This previous omission can be considered a bug, since it made info about materials incomplete / incompatible with face mat indices. Thanks Yann Vernier for bringing this up and sending/proposing a patch that also fixed a bug related to assigning lists of materials with different lengths to obj and its mesh. setMaterials also accepts Py_None entries now, which become empty slots in Blender.
-- doc updates.
- hotkeys, obdatacopier and renameobjectbyblock, all from Jean-Michel Soler (jms);
- bevel_center by Loic Berthe, suggested for inclusion by jms;
- doc_browser, by Daniel Dunbar (Zr)
Thanks to them for the new contributions!
(I included doc_browser at 'Misc' because only users interested in script writing would actually use it, but it could also be under 'Help'. Opinions?)
BPython related:
- Added scriptlink methods to object, lamp, camera and world.
- Object: added object.makeTrack and object.clearTrack (old track method).
- sys: made sys.exists(path) return 0 for not found; 1 for file, 2 for dir and -1 for neither.
- doc updates and fixes.
- made ONLOAD event work. G.f's SCENESCRIPT bit was being zeroed in set_app_data.
- Blender: updated functions Load and Save to support the builtin importers and exporters besides .blend (dxf, videoscape, vrml 1.0, stl, ...)
- Draw: added mouse wheel events.
- Scene: added scene.play to play back animations (like ALT+A and SHIFT+ALT+A). Makes a good counter, too, when the 'win' attribute is set to a space that doesn't "animate".
The scene.play() addition and the fix to ONLOAD scriptlinks is part of the work for a Blender demo mode. It already works, but I'll still add support for Radiosity calculations and fix a thing in main(): it executes onload scripts too early (BIF_Init), giving funny results in alt+a animations and renderings when firing up Blender. Loading after the program is up has no such problems. When I finish I'll post examples of demo mode scripts.
- G.f's G_DEBUG flag was being erased in blenkernel/intern/blender.c's
setup_app_data:
G.f= bfd->globalf
// added a line above it to fix this:
if (G.f & G_DEBUG) bfd->globalf |=G_DEBUG;
G.f= bfd->globalf;
BPython:
- debug info now only shown if Blender is started with '-d' option
- added ~/.blender/scripts to modules sys.path
- added two new functions to Blender.sys: basename and splitext
- added doc for Blender.sys, updated other docs
- Fixed small typo in doc file Object.py, reported by user Bill.
- Fixed bug #803:
Bug #803's Summary: print, type() or BezTriple broken
Trying to print type(BezTriple) was crashing Blender because
that type wasn't being initialized to PyType_Type. The other
problem is that the getName method for ipocurves only works for
object ipos. A warning was added for when users try to use it
with other blocktypes, we'll later update ipo related stuff in
bpython to work for all types.
- Object: implemented getBoundBox and makeDisplayList methods
- NMesh and Object: small internal changes for nicer behavior
- Draw: added function PupMenu
- Docs: updated for the additions above
Auto build tiny fix: added the imbuf include dir to source/creator/Makefile.am
the object.
* Added the GetSelected function. (Same as getSelected).
* Added a start for the Object.py API documentation.
* Some minor bug-fixes to the Object module.
* Added the functionality to get the IPO of the Object.
