Notes:
* Sequence transform strip uses G.scene global, this is commented
out now, should be fixed.
* Etch-a-ton code was most difficult to merge. The files already in
2.5 got merged, but no new files were added. Calls to these files
are commented out with "XXX etch-a-ton". editarmature.c and
transform_snap.c were complex to merge. Martin, please check?
* Game engine compiles and links again here for scons/make/cmake
(player still fails to link).
vector in perspective mode. This is default OpenGL behavior, but
by now this optimization is really insignificant. Works in both
the 3d view and game engine.
- wm draw method is now initialized correct when reading older
files, but the SDNA bug causing the problem is still unsolved.
is due to // char pad[8]; not being recognized as commented.
- triple buffer proxy texture test follows spec better now,
was disabling triple buffer unnecessarily on some drivers.
- some cmake compile fixes related to sequencer pthread usage
and removed bad level calls lib for player.
- show outliner header buttons in oops mode as well until that
can be switched in the UI.
- fix region data free issue for tooltips
- warning fixes
View3D has been split now in a local part (RegionView3D) and a
per-area part (old View3D). Currently local is:
- view transform
- camera zoom/offset
- gpencil (todo)
- custom clipping planes
Rest is in Area still, like active camera, draw type, layers,
localview, custom centers, around-settings, transform widget,
gridlines, and so on (mostly stuff as available in header).
To see it work; also added new feature for region split,
press SHIFT+ALT+CTRL+S for four-split.
The idea is to make a preset 4-split, configured to stick
to top/right/front views for three views.
Another cool idea to explore is to then box-clip all drawing
based on these 3 views.
Note about the code:
- currently view3d still stores some depricated settings, to
convert from older files. Not all settings are copied over
though, like custom clip planes or the 'lock view to object'.
- since some view3d ops are now on area level, the operators
for it should keep track of that.
Bugfix in transform: quat initialize in operator-invoke missed
one zero.
Als brought back GE to compile for missing Ipos and channels.
* DNA_cloth_types.h, patch by Roelf de Kock. The gravity[3] member
is not being parsed correct by makesdna.c and will give issues
even when trying to fix it. Worked around it for now in RNA by
wrapping it manually, but this should really be fixed in the DNA
genetics code, added a comment about it in DNA_cloth_types.h.
* Handle vertex groups and uv layers more consistent now. They are
all exposed as strings now. Reason is that indices don't really
say much, and a direct pointer is not always possible because for
example a uv layer in a material can be used for multiple objects
and so there is no single pointer. In python it is not too hard
to use either since the strings works as a key for lookups.
For the user interface we can later think of some method to
generate popup menus in a way that works for vertex groups,
uv layers, bones etc.
* This also fixes the XXX's in rna_modifier.c, I think that can be
marked done.
the features that are needed to run the game. Compile tested with
scons, make, but not cmake, that seems to have an issue not related
to these changes. The changes include:
* GLSL support in the viewport and game engine, enable in the game
menu in textured draw mode.
* Synced and merged part of the duplicated blender and gameengine/
gameplayer drawing code.
* Further refactoring of game engine drawing code, especially mesh
storage changed a lot.
* Optimizations in game engine armatures to avoid recomputations.
* A python function to get the framerate estimate in game.
* An option take object color into account in materials.
* An option to restrict shadow casters to a lamp's layers.
* Increase from 10 to 18 texture slots for materials, lamps, word.
An extra texture slot shows up once the last slot is used.
* Memory limit for undo, not enabled by default yet because it
needs the .B.blend to be changed.
* Multiple undo for image painting.
* An offset for dupligroups, so not all objects in a group have to
be at the origin.
