* Split object_edit.c into multiple files:
object_add.c, object_edit.c, object_hook.c, object_relations.c,
object_select.c, object_transform.c.
* Rename files to have consistent object_ and mball_ prefix:
object_shapekey.c, object_lattice.c, object_vgroup.c, mball_edit.c.
* Added operators:
* vertex group menu and set active
* apply location, rotation, scale, visual transform (location is new)
* make local
* make vertex parent
* move to layer
* convert to curve/mesh (not finished yet)
* Many small fixes for marked issues, but still much code to be cleaned
up here...
- rename "Nurb" to "Spline" in RNA, eg. bpy.data.curves[0].splines[2].type == 'NURBS'
from a user perspective spline is a more generic term while Nurb is misleading when used for beziers and poly lines.
- added curve.active_spline property so the python UI can display the last selected curve.
- set the active spline when entering editmode (uses first selected spline)
- added back Hide Handles as a curve property (removed the global flag), access from the view panel in editmode.
- added hide normal option for curve, normal size access for curve and mesh display.
- changing orderU/V, endpoints, cyclic, bezierU/V now work in editmode and calls update functions.
- entering editmode was crashing with text objects
- curve.switch_direction() crashed (own fault from last commit)
- Tkey for tilt was overridden by Toolbar, made Tilt Ctrl+T.
- OBJECT_OT_mode_set check for compatible modes before running - so curves dont try go into paint mode with V key for eg.
This commit some of the many bugs here (it's still not perfect now, but much better than it was):
* Moving in/out of Object, Edit, and Pose Modes for Armatures should now work smoothly. Operators should work nicely in the appropriate modes now (select linked might be a bit tempermental still, since it uses mouse-position).
* Fixed the 'mysterious' memory leaks when changing modes. These were only caused when using the mode switching menu in the 3D-View.
* Went through bullet-proofing some of the operator calling functions against NULL operator id-name strings.
moved CU_2D to Nurb->flag in do_versions
This made simple type checks confusing to read.
many... if( (nu->type & 7)==CU_BEZIER)
replaced with ... if(nu->type == CU_BEZIER)
made setting rna curve_2d clamp the Z values. still more RNA/UI changes to do.
- added curve attribute use_twist_correction
- added nurb attribute type - NURBS, POLY, BEZIER
- renamed a number of curve attributes with the use_ prefix.
- UI layout adjustments to only show buttons that are needed and reflect internals for nurbs.
... Note that many of the buttons only apply to NURBS, and all the "V" buttons only apply to surfaces, remove when not needed.
- Some big refresh issues with softbody & cloth point cache usage should now be fixed.
- Removed sticky objects from particles (better stuff will come back when I get to updating reactor particles).
- Some initial easy memory efficiency cleanup for ParticleData struct. The ultimate goal is to get particles less memory hungry -> more particles possible in single scene.
- Wrong path timing clamping caused hair particles to seem disappeared when changing between normal<->hair particles.
- "Calculate to current frame" in cache buttons baked instead of the intended function.
- Boids particle data is now a bit better organized.
Make local and make single user are back for ID template.
Internally these calls got unified, id_make_local and
id_copy are now used to do these operations for all types
that support it. Also reveals that for some ID types the
implementation is still missing.
Further, some small changes:
* unlink_text is now in blenkernel.
* copy_group was implemented.
* ID template now has an open operator again.
* fix preview to not change material reference count,
even if temporary it shows up with threaded preview.
* id_unlink unifies unlink for text, object and group.
Notifiers
---------
Various fixes for wrong use of notifiers, and some new notifiers
to make things a bit more clear and consistent, with two notable
changes:
* Geometry changes are now done with NC_GEOM, rather than
NC_OBJECT|ND_GEOM_, so an object does need to be available.
* Space data now use NC_SPACE|ND_SPACE_*, instead of data
notifiers or even NC_WINDOW in some cases. Note that NC_SPACE
should only be used for notifying about changes in space data,
we don't want to go back to allqueue(REDRAW..).
Depsgraph
---------
The dependency graph now has a different flush call:
DAG_object_flush_update(scene, ob, flag)
is replaced by:
DAG_id_flush_update(id, flag)
It still works basically the same, one difference is that it now
also accepts object data (e.g. Mesh), again to avoid requiring an
Object to be available. Other ID types will simply do nothing at
the moment.
Docs
----
I made some guidelines for how/when to do which kinds of updates
and notifiers. I can't specify totally exact how to make these
decisions, but these are basically the guidelines I use. So, new
and updated docs are here:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Blender2.5/NotifiersUpdateshttp://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Blender2.5/DataNotifiers
bpy.data, bpy.ops.object etc.
- added basic docs for bpy.props
- omit panel, menu and operator classes (took up too much space and not useful)
- exec cant be used as an operator suffix eg- CONSOLE_OT_exec --> CONSOLE_OT_execute (same for file)
- fixed some crashes when generating docs
Updated docs here

*****
first commit in a long time, and its great to be back!
commited Select Mirror operator for objects
eg. L.sword->R.sword
added to 3dview select menu aswel
the hotkey is shift-ctrl-m (hope its not taken)
Fixed some typos made in previous commit. Hook Modifier should now work correctly again (and also for newly added Hook relationships)
Notes:
* To add a hook, you currently need to perform the following steps
1) add modifier from menu (no operator in EditMode)
2) specify the object (and/or bone to use as the hook target)
3a) in EditMode, select the vertices you wish to be affected by the hook, and press 'Assign'
3b) alternatively, fill in the vertex-group field for the Vertex Group which contains the vertices to be affected
4) press 'Reset' (to make sure hook will behave correctly)
5) optionally, also press 'Recenter' if the hook position isn't right...
* BUG ALERT (Brecht/Ton): it is impossible to clear the vertexgroup/bone fields once you have assigned some value. Doing backspace+enter (or any other variation) will always result in the first item in the search menu being used.
Moved WeightPaint/VertexPaint toggling hotkeys to the same place that the ones for PoseMode/EditMode are defined. This means that the hotkey for toggling PoseMode works again (instead of being overwritten by WeightPaint).
* Disabled multires subdivide button in editmode (again)
SVN weirdness:
I already did this in r22447. Somehow it got changed back -- but I can't find any log of it getting reverted, either in my email or on p.b.o. This is extremely weird!
* Made object mode an enum, shows better in the debugger
* Added a toggle mode to the set object mode operator
* Toggling a mode on and off goes back to the previous mode, not just object mode
* Changed the vertex mode and weight mode shortcuts to call the toggle mode operator
when passing properties=True as argument.
Other changes:
* uiItemR, uiItemFullR, uiItemFullO now accept a flag argument rather
than multiple different "boolean" arguments, but still exposed as
booleans to python.
* Fix RNA to support setting PROP_RNAPTR for return values.
Made Hook Modifier be able to use bone targets. However, I haven't been able to verify that everything will work perfectly, since just creating a new Hook Modifier and assigning targets doesn't set hmd->indexar correctly.
* Popup menus now remember the last clicked item again.
* Modifier and File Format menus are now organized in multiple
columns with categories.
* Hook, explode, uv project modifiers have all their buttons
again with the relevant operators implemented.
* Modifiers that can't be added by the user, or don't work on
curves for example, are not in the menu anymore.
* Fix search menu overlapping buttons when near the bottom of
the screen.
* Fix uv layers search menu not working in some modifiers.
* Cleanup popup menu code a bit, layout engine is used in more
cases now instead of ugly position calculation code.
* Converted vertex paint to use the new stroke system. Now supports the same smooth stroke and stroke spacing as sculpt mode.
* Refactored the paint cursor a bit, just sculpt for now but other modes soon.
* A couple warning fixes
* cache for low res (deactivating high res for now)
* new way of view3d rendering of smoke (no longer 3 axes) -using 3dtexture now (introduced into gpu/intern)
* introducing LZO and LZMA libs into extern (makefiles missing for now)
* reducing memory usage after simulating for the frame ended (freeing temporary buffers)
* splitting smoke into 2 modifier for the cache-sake (it cannot handle more than 1 cache on the same modifier-index)
* no color on gui anymore
* fixing non-power-of-2 resolutions (hopefully)
* fixing select-deselect of domain drawing bug
* fixing drawobject.c coding style (making Ton happy) ;-)
HINT #1: If scons doesn't work -> cmakefiles are up-to-date, couldn't test scons (but i tried to mantain them, too)
CODERS HINT #1: we really need a way to disable adding all modifiers through "Add Modifiers" dropdown!
WARNING #1: before applying this commit, deactivate your SMOKE DOMAIN in your old files and save them then. You can open them then savely after that.
WARNING #2: File and cache format of smoke can be changed, this is not final!
* Added OBJECT_OT_mode_set for setting the object mode. Takes one property, "mode", which can be any of the OB_MODE_* flags. The available modes are limited based on the active object (e.g. only meshes can have sculptmode, and so forth.)
* Set the icon properties in the object mode enum RNA
TODO:
At this point I think everything is ready to start ripping out the ugly hacks in view3d_header for setting the mode :)
* Pose mode was already object-localized, but moved the flag from object->flag to object->mode, with all the other modes.
* Updated object mode RNA
* Commented out some dubious use of base->flag with the posemode flag. So far as I could see the value was only being set, not read, so a hopefully safe change.
* Made texture paint object-localized too.
Note for Brecht: gpu_draw.c had three uses of G_TEXTUREPAINT that I was not able to cleanly fix, so commented out for now. Can you take a look and see what should be done here?
* Weightpaint is now object-local like sculpt and vertexpaint.
* Fixed a bug spotted by DingTo, going from editmode to sculptmode didn't fully leave editmode
* Replaced FACESEL_PAINT_TEST macro with paint_facesel_test. This removes one more thing from BKE_global, and it'll make it easier to localize.
* Fixed sculpt paint cursor sometimes not showing.
* Made sculpt mode local to object.
* This also fixes loading files from 2.4x saved in sculptmode
Touched a lot of things here, let me know if anything breaks
TODO:
* The other paint modes should be converted as well
Implementation Note:
* Moved the scene copy/unlink code back into blenkernel, with
the exception of the copy single user stuff which is still in
object_edit.c.
* Uses SCREENDELETE notifier like SCREENBROWSE, seems only clean
way to do this now.
* Fixed one of the items from Brecht's TODO mail. Exiting edit mode now restores any paint mode you might have been in, rather than going to object mode.
Bugfixes
* Don't allow multires subdivision in editmode, this leads to corruption as noted by nudelZ. Reason is that editmode has its own copy of the MDisps customdata layer, gets written back out on exiting editmode, but the layer that was subdivided was the non-editmode original.
* Missed clearing a couple variables, caught with valgrind.
* Separated value and range sliders for the value into two separate rows. Value comes before the range settings since it's used more often, and is drawn as a slider instead.
* Tweaked ranges for the sliders so that they will work sanely.
Operator goodies!
--- Macro operators
Operators now can consist of multiple operators. Such a macro operator
is identical and behaves identical to other opererators. Macros can
also be constructed of macros even! Currently only hardcoded macros are
implemented, this to solve combined operators such as 'add duplicate' or
'extrude' (both want a transform appended).
Usage is simple:
- WM_operatortype_append_macro() : add new operatortype, name, flags
- WM_operatortype_macro_define() : add existing operator to macro
(Note: macro_define will also allow properties to be set, doesnt work
right now)
On converting the macro wmOperatorType to a real operator, it makes a
list of all operators, and the standard macro callbacks (exec, invoke,
modal, poll) just will use all.
Important note; switching to a modal operator only works as last in the
chain now!
Macros implemented for duplicate, extrude and rip. Tool menu works fine
for it, also the redo hotkey F4 works properly.
--- Operator redo fix
The operators use the undo system to switch back, but this could give
errors if other actions added undo pushes (buttons, outliner). Now the
redo for operator searches back for the correct undo level.
This fixes issues with many redos.
Note for brecht: removed the ED_undo_push for buttons... it was called
on *every* button now, which is probably too much? For example, using
the 'toolbar' redo also caused this...
- It is possible to work with MetaBalls in edit mode now
- Added basic UI to the button window (feel free to change it :-))
- Header menus should work
- Undo & redo should work
- Removed global variable editelems and lastelem (moved it to the MetaBall struct)
- All tools from old editmball.c was converted to the operators
- Added lastelem to the RNA
- Experimental: mb->editelems is only pointer at mb->elems or NULL (depends on Mode). ListBase of MetaElems is not duplicated in edit mode.
Tested with scons at Linux and mac OS X
TODO:
- Recalc data after Undo or Redo
- Solve issue with basic MetaBall and Python UI script (only base MetaBall object influence Wiresize and Threshold)
- Fix orientation of manipulator in "Normal mode"
The code has been ported to the operator+rna system, however, there are currently issues related to how the pointer-rna's work for use as operator properties. (NOTE: RNA_property_pointer_set only takes into account builtin props for now, but not id-props, while the corresponding get method seems to take them into account)
The alternative to using pointer-properties for the operator, is to store strings and look up the relevant objects later, but there should be a nicer way...
* Restored quick operators for moving bones between layers and switching visible armature layers. The popup used here (based on the layers template) is not optimal yet - you can click on multiple layer buttons to enable/disable them, but you need to move your mouse outside the area for it to confirm.
* Separate armatures works again. I've tweaked the arguments to ED_object_duplicate() to make this work (besides, the other users of this wouldn't have been affected).
* Added some missing special (transform) operators to the menus + keymaps
