- added submenu "Scripts" in both View3D->Object and Mesh menus.
Put them on top (it's better to follow some guideline, so users don't have to search for "Scripts" submenu in a different position in each menu), feel free to change.
- added button 'previous win' to SpaceScript, makes accessing buttons win, for example, much faster. Maybe all spaces could have this button.
BPython:
- added Window.EditMode(), to check, enter and leave edit mode. Scripts that change mesh data need this to leave edit mode before making changes to the active (G.obedit) mesh, of course.
- updated script bevel_center to use the above function and also popup an error msg if the active obj is not a mesh.
- doc updates, minor fixes.
Forgot to mention in my previous commit that I also updated the "-P" command-line option (for running script files) to be able to run already loaded Blender Texts, too. So, if you have a script called 'Text' in foo.blend, you can run it with blender foo.blend -P Text .
- 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.
- Added KlopUtils by Carlos Lopez and Batch Object Name Edit by Campbell Barton (thanks both!)
BPython:
- Fixed things I recently broke in Blender.sys, added Blender.sys.join(dir, file)
- doc and other minor updates
- Added function Blender.Save(filename) to save .blend files.
- Added scriptlink-related methods (get, clear, add) to Scene and Materials. Will still add method remove and add these methods to World, Object, Camera and Lamp.
- Updates and small fixes in docs.
PupStrInput, a wrapper for the Blender String popup (thanks!)
- Fixed bug #1374 reported by Gabriel Beloin (gabio, thanks too):
http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=125&aid=1374&group_id=9
There was a minor mistake in the import menu: vrml called dxf and vice-versa and shortcuts were wrong (removed them).
- Doc updates, minor updates elsewhere.
Wim Van Hoydonck contributed the famous Knife script (put under Modifiers group) developed by Stefano Selleri and himself (thank to both!)
- Added helper function Blender.sys.makename, updated docs and script ac3d_export to use it (shall update other exporters too):
this function is just a simple helper to format a filename as needed (change extension, strip dirname, it defaults to use G.sce as path).
- Added a test method: Blender.Scene.getScriptlinks(eventName):
just testing, if this path proves useful other functions will be added and made general, for objects, etc.
- added function Blender.sys.exists(path) to check if a given file exists;
- forgot to mention: in my previous commit the blender.html file was also updated slightly.
Blender.Draw.Button() was not showing up. Seems to be an epydoc
issue with Button() being both a module method and the name of a class.
I changed Button to Button_ and added a usage note.
Yes, this is lame.
- Campbell Barton contributed another function (thanks again), the Image.reload method:
with this a script can keep an image that is being edited and saved by an external program updated in Blender.
- updated docs with recently added functions
- dynamic menu entries now are sorted (alphabetically, of course)
- added new menu categories for scripts: Wizards, Modifiers, Generators, Materials, Animation:
only added to list of options, didn't mess with any Blender header. They are already available from the "Scripts" menu in the scripts win, but not elsewhere.
- added option 'datadir' to Blender.Get(option):
so scripts can use .blender/bpydata for reading / writing their data files.
-- Added two new functions to the Draw module, to display int and float popup buttons:
Both contributed by Campbell Barton, thanks!
-- Fixed a couple warnings.
-- epydoc Documentation for eeshlo's Noise module + small typo fix in Noise.c
-- BPY_end_python closes .blend file opened by Library module when script doesn't do it by itself.
- New module + doc: Blender.Library:
It's like File->Append, loads datablocks from .blend files.
- small updates to fix warnings and accomodate for the new module, in readfile.[ch]
- New Blender.sys module function: time, a wrapper of the PIL get time function.
- Updated original makefile and scons builds.
- fixed two warnings, unused var in Object.c and undeclared function in script.c
- updated Blender.Draw doc, it was missing info about Button object
- refactored pytype initialization to try to fix for once platform (and distro!) specific crashes on startup. This asked for tiny updates in Effect.[ch] (removed static from declaration, moved definitions to the .c file) and modules.h
- fixed error I made trying to fix scripts w/ no [eol] char in menus. Thanks Michael Velikanje for reporting the problem!
(excuse me for doing all in a single commit, but they are tiny
fixes and it's bpython, that dark corner ...)
#1025 - FileSelector SEGV on dynamic callback Category:
Can't reproduce with current cvs, I'd say recent changes to fix
another crash related to FileSelector in gui-less scripts solved this
one, too.
#1028 - Reserved button event number:
Menu choices generate two events, one extra related to the menu
itself, with value=4. Made bpython ignore this extra event.
#1068 - FileSelector No file extension support:
As Ton wrote there, Blender itself doesn't support this yet. But the
requester also wanted Window.File/ImageSelector to accept a pathname. Done. Also updated doc.
#959 - Segfault on background rendering:
This happened in bg mode (blender -b filename -a, for example) when
a script with the line "Blender.Redraw()" was linked to FRAMECHANGED events. As reported in the bug page, it was because curarea is NULL in bg mode. Made Redraw() check for this and not call functions that expected curarea in Redraw, like one to swap buffers.
#1072 - Blender.Redraw() Segfault:
Good catch : ). Scripts called from the scripts win that called
Blender.Redraw() or Blender.Window.Redraw() would crash Blender because of a dirty pointer in Spacescript->script. Fixed.
This was a problem with the BezTriple type.
Write access to BezTriple via 'pt' member did not work.
Preferred method to access BPy type members, especially for
write access, is via get*/set* methods.
BezTriple.setPoints() will accept x,y coordinates as either
a tuple or a list.
Updated BezTriple section of Ipo module doc.
- tiny harmless change in module Blender.Material's *doc*.
Aphex: tested your fix for windows (thank you -- and Bill Baxter for reporting):
It doesn't break anything here (linux). So probably no need for #ifdef's.
-- fixing a last minute bug: scripts w/o guis that called the file selector were
not being checked for errors, which could cause crash dumps upon exiting.
-- docs: updates for Draw (fixed example) and Material (added tex related methods docs)
Scripts:
-- added some more scripts, all I could get in shape in time (at least they export / import back).
Only tested on linux.
- 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
- local tentative fix for BLI_gethome(), which returns '.blender' appended only
on some Windows systems. Created bpymenu_gethome() to check and
add '.blender' if needed.
- changed name: .Bpymenus to Bpymenus as suggested by GSR
- trivial additions:
Object module: added methods .set/getSize
Armature/Bone module: bone.set???() methods now accept both n
floats or a list of n floats: fff or (fff). All these additions were requested
by user Carlos Lopez (Klopes).
- New doc: for module Registry.
- now the file .Bpymenus is in ~/.blender/, please delete the old one
- both ~/.blender/scripts/ and (if set) user pref scripts dir are scanned for scripts
- 2 scripts of the same group with the same name, one in each dir: user pref overwrites the other's entry
- fixed the problem with trailing backslash, was my fault (used NULL instead of "/" for relbase in BLI_make_file_string
- slightly changed msgs to be less verbose and parsing to be more forgiving
- if a script registers with a wrong group, 'Misc' is used instead
- 'Blender' tag is now checked, gives a warning (notice) msg if script is newer than Blender program
Blender.NMesh module and doc:
- added vertex.sel var to get/set selection state of vertex.
- 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.
