-- applied patch by Michael Reimpell that lets scripts registration info be either commented out or not (commented, it doesn't interfere with Python documentation tools. The patch also fixes potential overflows, thanks (and sorry for the confusion) again, Michael.
-- fixed NMesh_hasFaceUV, it was returning true for false and vice-versa. Reported by Jonas Petersen with patch, thanks.
-- added 'homedir' and 'uscriptsdir' to Blender.Get() to get Blender's home dir and the user defined scripts dir.
-- related to the above doc updates.
-- fixed bug #1689:
http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=125&aid=1689&group_id=9
Reported by Tom Musgrove (thanks), the problem was that Window.QHandle was not passing events to windows that had id's below the current active window. It was a stupid mistake (mine), the code was iterating from curarea instead of from the first area in the areabase list.
-- fixed bug #1568:
http://projects.blender.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1568&group_id=9&atid=125
Stephen investigated the problem, reported by Gabriel Beloin, and left hints in the bug report, thanks :). I also implemented what he suggested, now Effect.Get('objname') returns a list with all objname's effects and as before, Get('objname, position') returns the effect at position 'position'. Ref doc already updated.
-- Allowed menu registration lines to appear commented out -- Python comments: '#', of course -- (suggested by Michael Reimpell) in scripts:
Some Python doc tools need the doc strings between triple double-quotes, so to avoid conflicts scripts writers can now comment out the registration code, it should work anyway. Michael also provided a patch for this a few days ago, too (thanks), but to keep changes at a minimum because of proximity to a release I didn't use it.
- Blender.Window: added function GetPerspMatrix() (Tom Musgrave's patch, thanks);
- added Chris Want's patch to tell argc, argv to the Python interpreter (thanks, Hos);
- Blender.Image: added image.glFree() to free textures bound by the recently added
image.glLoad() (both suggested by Campbell Barton -- thanks, with these Blender can
be used to load textures for scripts);
- Blender.Sound: removed for now at least a few get/set methods of vars that can't be
accessed via interface;
- renamed Get/makeActive to Get/setCurrent in Blender.World (actually added alias for
now), same in Blender.Sound: renamed makeActive to setCurrent. Stephen Swaney
pointed this some weeks ago, we should stick to one naming convention.
- added documentation for Sound and Window.Theme modules and the other added
functions, made other small updates.
- Blender.Object: made 'worldspace' become the default output of .getMatrix and .mat/.matrix:
after reading a discussion on blender.org's Python forum where eeshlo mentioned the
pre 2.34 default was worldspace, I took a better look at Blender's relevant code,
confirmed, talked to Theeth about this and as he suggested am changing the default
back to 'worldspace'.
- small updates to the docs;
- Object: small fix to getMatrix: check during_script() to avoid undesired loops; added old behavior (pre 2.34) as option: .getMatrix('oldlocal');
- tentative fix for bug #1275: scene REDRAW scriptlinks were not being executed (the call to do so was missing):
http://projects.blender.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1275&group_id=9&atid=125
added the call in drawview.c, in drawview3dspace(). This causes the scriptlink to be called for each visible view3d, but that's what happens with object redraw scriptlinks, too. Anyway, this is still a test. The place was chosen based on the idea that a scene redraw scriptlink is like an object redraw one, but for all objs in the scene at once.
- Window.Theme: new submodule, to get/set theme options in Blender;
- Added the script save_theme.py (Help menu for now), to save the current theme in Blender as an executable script (currently shown in the Scripts->Misc menu).
There's more work to do for themes, like defining a proper place for them in the interface, adding documentation (for now the added script and the ones it generates can give a pretty good idea of how to use the new module), probably extending themes to support SpaceScript and so on.
Scripts:
Campbell Barton (Ideasman, thanks) updated his Wavefront OBJ importer.
BPython:
- Finally committed pending contributions:
Chris Keith wrote the Blender.Sound module -- still some testing to do this week;
Joseph (joeedh) added the OnLoad scene script event;
Satish Goda added 6 GLU functions to Blender.BGL. Great additions, thanks all!
- Small changes to Blender.Load (leave editmode as Blender wants) and Window.EditMode (allow definition of "undo string");
- Fixed bug #1539: Window.RedrawAll() crashed Blender if an empty spacescript was available while using it in a gui-less script.
- doc updates.
- Campbell Barton updated his sel_same.py script;
- Added to Mesh scripts a call to Window.EditMode(0) to leave editmode before changing meshes.
BPython:
- small doc fixes / updates;
- added a call to undo_push_mesh inside Window.EditMode(0).
Mesh scripts could change the mesh but not the editmesh -- that would then overwrite the changed mesh. Made all mesh scripts leave edit mode before changing a mesh.
- Ben Omari sent an update version of his DirectX8.py, Jean-Michel Soler updated his disp_paint.py and Campbell Barton contributed a new one: sel_same.py (for now it's in the UV menu). Thanks all, great scripts;
- small updates in some other scripts.
BPython:
- Finished wrapping radiosity functions for the Radio submodule;
- doc updates.
- now more than 31 channels possible for ipos
- added lotsa new channels all over
- Texture block has ipo now too
- recoded getname_ei functions
(Will ask nathan to give release log info when he's back!)
- 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.
- added image.getBindCode() docstring to Image's epydoc file (thanks Satish Goda).
Scripts:
- Adding Apply_def.py to "Mesh" scripts menu (thanks author: Theeth);
- Updating JMS's disp_paint.py (also changed its name to remove version info);
- minor updates in docs and scripts.
- small additions and fixes to enable the demo mode;
- Added sleep() to Blender.sys and 17 new functions to Blender.Window module:
things to help demo script writing and as a bonus read / write access to Blender's input event queue;
- updates in docs, those interested please check Window.py in python/api2_2x/doc/ to read about the new Blender.Window functions.
----
Demo mode should be working well now for (I) playing rt animation -- aka ALT+A -- and (II) rendering pics and anims and playing anims. I'll still add access to radiosity data and functions.
PS: Joseph Gilbert made (II) possible with the Scene.Render module he added for 2.32. He's been coding great things for bpython, so I'd like to take the chance to point that and thank him here.
- 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.
