This commit extends limit of ID and objects to 64 (it means 63 meaning
characters and 1 for zero-terminator). CustomData layers names are also
extended.
Changed DNA structures and all places where length constants were hardcoded.
All names which are "generating" from ID block should be limited by MAX_ID_NAME-2,
all non-id names now has got own define called MAX_NAME which should be used all
over for non-id names to make further name migration stuff easier.
All name fields in DNA now have comment with constant which corresponds to
hardcoded numeric value which should make it easier to further update this
limits or even switch to non-hardcoded values in DNA.
Special thanks to Campbell who helped figuring out some issues and helped a lot
in finding all cases where hardcoded valued were still used in code.
Both of forwards and backwards compatibility is stored with blender versions newer
than January 5, 2011. Older versions had issue with placing null-terminator to
DNA strings on file load which will lead to some unpredictable behavior or even
crashes.
CTX_data_pointer_get_type(C, "object", &RNA_Object).data
with api call:
ED_object_context(C)
... since getting the context object is such a common operation.
in most cases the caller would then check if the name was different to see if the name was flipped, incorrectly comparing the uninitialized string with the original name.
* Made it impossible to try to calculate/create new motion paths lasting 0
frames (i.e. 250 to 250) since we cannot allocate a zero-length array for these.
Start frame can now be at most end-frame - 1, and end frame at least start frame
+ 1
* If an invalid configuration does occur, warnings/reports will now be issued in
response to this instead of silently failing (as per this bugreport).
Causing a flurry of refresh file prompts post-commit,
Confusing local diffs and causing merge conflicts,
Stating the obvious; redundant and useless...

Paste pose no longer just does a blind "replace all properties" on
bones that it pastes on. Instead:
* when properties exist on the target already - only change the
properties in common
* when properties don't already exist - copy all properties
Thanks Torsten Rupp (rupp) for the patch!
This patch adds the abilities to sort the bone group list in the
properties panel and to move bone groups up/down in the list (similar
like for vertex groups)
"On Selected Only" option is now on by default. Stored poses only get
pasted on to bones that are selected when pasting, instead of on the
bones that were selected when copying.
(First GSoC11 commit. Yay!)
This tool automates the process of copying a pose to successive
keyframes, making it easier for animators to go back and change the
pose for some controls which remain "static" for periods of time.
Previously, animators would need to do a "{Ctrl-Pageup Ctrl-V} *
number_of_static_keyframes" dance for each set of controls that this
happened on, which is not too good ergonomically speaking.
There are two modes exposed via the menu (Pose->Propagate):
- "Pose Propagate" - also known as the 'WHILE_HELD' mode, which
propagates to all keyframes that are holding the same value
- "To Next Keyframe" - which only propagates the pose to the closest
keyframe in the occurring after (but not including) the current frame
Additionally, there are a few other modes that can be used, though
they are less useful for direct use from the UI, though they can be
used via the PyAPI as need be.

Also, I did some cleanups in the "Pose" menu to bring it more into
line with the Object mode one. There are some more tweaks that could
still be done here, such as bringing the keyframing operator entries
under a submenu too (as in the Object mode version) to get the length
of this under control.
After discussions with ZanQdo, it was agreed that the current workflow
for making a pose symmetrical was a bit too cumbersome, especially
when auto-keying was enabled, requiring pasting the flipped pose on
another frame so that the changes could be merged back in without
overwriting the "good" half of the rig.
This option for the Paste Pose operator makes things easier, by adding
an option which will make the pose only get pasted on to selected
bones instead of overriding the entire pose. By default this option is
turned off, but can be easily enabled either from the toolbar
(operator properties) or through the F6 popup.
The intended workflow with this option for making a rig symmetrical is
now:
1) Copy pose
2) Select "bad" bones
3) Paste Flipped
4) Enable "On Selected Only" for the operator
If there is sufficient interest, this option can even be enabled by
default. But, we'll see about that later
- use BLI_math functions for removing rotations from objects and pose channels.
- add unit_axis_angle() to avoid setting the Y axis inline anywhere rotation needs removing.
"Show All Layers"). This has been mapped to Ctrl-Accentkey
If necessary, you can alter your keymaps so that this operator is
invoked with its "all" property disabled. This will only toggle the
first row (first 16) layers, which is useful in most rigs for only
enabling all the layers with rig controls and not showing the layers
with rig mechanics.
Child-of constraint issue: on adding, it wasn't checking owner
correctly for Bones, resulting in a constraint working in wrong
space; it looked as if transform was applied double when moving
the object. Only adding via Py API went wrong btw.
Also found a silly check for drawing constraints, which caused
constraint initialization to happen for every object on every
redraw!
Implementation note: con->flag CONSTRAINT_SPACEONCE was only used
for child-of constraints in Bones, so I've patched it on file
reading to always set the flag. Marked with XXX, so it can be
removed one day. Now at least things get corrected well for
imported armatures.
- active is no longer assumed to be selected.
this fixes a simple bug - eg: Adding a new armature, entering pose mode and toggling selection failed.
- outliner editbone selection now works like object and pose mode.
- mouse selection sets the bone active even when the tip is selected.
- active, unselected bones draw as wire color with a 15% tint of the selected color.
only tags the ID and does the actual flush/update delayed, before the next
redraw. For objects the update was already delayed, just flushing wasn't
yet.
This should help performance in python and animation editors, by making
calls to RNA property update quicker. Still need to add calls in a few
places where this was previously avoided due to bad performance.
Added extend option to lasso.
also...
- selecting bones wasn't checking their layer of if they were hidden in a number of places.
- fixed memory leak.
small unrealed changes
- added PBONE_VISIBLE macro
- renamed functions used for paint selectoin from *_tface to paintface_*. sine they no longer have anything todo with tface's.
- removed scanfill include from BLI_blenlib.h, this is only used in very few places and quite specific.
Noticed lasso select is broken for metaballs and face mask mode but this has been the case for a while, will look into it next.
