svn merge https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/blender -r19820:HEAD
Notes:
* Game and sequencer RNA, and sequencer header are now out of date
a bit after changes in trunk.
* I didn't know how to port these bugfixes, most likely they are
not needed anymore.
* Fix "duplicate strip" always increase the user count for ipo.
* IPO pinning on sequencer strips was lost during Undo.
Attempt to make multires updating a little cleaner by
assuming that no update needs to be performed, and only
doing the update when the modified flag is set (either
by sculpting or using some other tool that needs an update.)
- Evaluation times for strips are now strictly clamped to the endpoints of the strips - i.e. if a strip has 'extend' on, the strip's evaluation time won't continue to change as time changes
- New NLA Editor instances now have auto-snapping turned on by default (as they should)
Most of the relevant properties have been wrapped.
- There are still some properties I'm not sure about whether they should be exposed at all (which have been left out for now). Most of these are really internal flags which are used in a few select places.
- To maintain the integrity of the settings, I've included some custom code for a few of the setters (i.e. scale/end-frame) where changing one should result in a change in the other and vica-versa.
Also, tweaked the wrapping for a few other types.
Another side effect of this commit is that I can now uncommented some code for using F-Curves to control the influence and time of the strips. These F-Curves would need to be specifically attached to the NLA-Strip they affect for now (TODO: I need to review this again...), and as such, cannot be used yet since there's no (end-user-accessible) way to do this :)
-Many things not yet working properly :)
-Experimental new (hopefully more logical) categorization of buttons, feedback on this is very welcome.
-Separate render & draw types, for example now there is actually a render option "halo" instead of all the different point draw types.
-Particles get recalculated only from buttons that actually change something that has to be recalculated, for example changing visualization doesn't reset particles any more.
-Boid physics buttons are still missing as I'm currently redoing the whole boids code.
-Point caching is still very wip, so baking is not possible for example, but I added a few cache baking flags for rna that were/will be needed for particle buttons logic.
* Fixed an evil bug where the last frame of a strip was always incorrectly evaluated.
This was because these frames were not being included in the strip's 'range' as defined by the IN_RANGE() testing macro, which only considers the given range as an open interval (i.e. non-inclusive of boundary points). I've added a new macro, IN_RANGE_INCL(), which is inclusive of boundary points, since this is a common test in many other parts of the code.
* When an AnimData block is in 'tweaking' mode, the tracks following (and including the active track) are now correctly skipped during evaluation.
* Finished coding the option of setting a single NLA-track per NLA-block to play 'solo' (i.e. only that track is enabled for evaluation).
To enable this, simply click on one of the grey 'dots' beside the NLA-track names, turning this dot yellow. The 'yellow' dot means that the track will play by itself (even the 'active action' gets silenced). Only one track per AnimData block can play solo at a time. To disable, simply click on the 'yellow' dot again.
NOTE: this currently uses the View3D layer-status icons. We probably need some special ones for these later (coloured vs grey star?)
* Also (not related to evaluation) made the selection operators for the NLA Editor only work when not in tweaking mode, since in tweaking mode they can potentially result in data being resolved inappropriately when leaving tweaking mode.
In this commit, I've introduced the mechanism by which actions already referenced by strips used in the NLA can be edited (or 'tweaked'). To use, simply select a strip you wish to edit, and hit that TAB key to start tweaking that strip's action, and hit TAB again once you're done.
What happens when you enter 'tweak mode':
1) The action of the active strip temporarily becomes the 'active action' of the AnimData block. You are now able to edit this in one of the Animation Editors (DopeSheet/Action, Graph Editors) as per normal (i.e. sliding keyframes around, inserting keyframes, etc.). The 'action-line' will therefore get drawn immediately above the active track containing the active strip, so that it's clear that that's what we're editing.
2) All the NLA-tracks (and all the strips within them) that occur after the track that the active strip lived in get disabled while you're in tweakmode. This is equivalent to travelling back to an earlier state in a construction history stack.
3) The active NLA track also gets disabled while in tweakmode, since it would otherwise interfere with the correct functioning of the tweaking for the action of interest.
4) The 'real' active action (i.e. the one displaced by the active strip's action) gets put into temp storage, and will be restored after you exit tweakmode.
5) Any strips which also reference the action being tweaked will get highlighted in red shading to indicate that you may be making some changes to the action which you don't really want to make for the other users too.
Please note though, that this is only a rough prototype of this functionality, with some niceties still to come. i.e.:
* NLA-tracks after the active track should still get drawn above the 'tweaking action line', but perhaps with different appearance?
* Various tools will still need awareness of this to prevent corrupting operations from taking place. How to proceed is still undecided...
* When exiting tweak-mode, the strip the action came from still needs some form of syncing with the modified action... there are a few tricky issues here that will need to be solved
* Evaluation code doesn't totally take this into account yet...

Also, fixed a number of bugs with various code (notably selection, and also a few drawing bugs)

Just like the others it assigned the value twice, removed
the one that was before checking for NULL.

* Following user feedback, I've increased the separation between normal NLA-tracks and the 'action lines' to try and differentiate them more. This hopefully this will be sufficient, otherwise, I'm going to have to abandon the use of nice, generic channel-identification code for lists of channels...
* Improved drawing of 'active' strips.
- Now, the active strip (when NOT being 'tweaked') will be simply drawn as a yellow strip + a white border.
- The active strip (when BEING 'tweaked') will now be greenish + a white border. The colour here may be tweakable, but we'll see...
* Strip extrapolation modes (hold, etc.) are now visualised as rects with alpha and the same colour as the strip they belong to.
* Selecting strips now makes them 'active' (and deactivates the others). Only one strip can be active at a time. Still need to figure out precisely how this will work with multiple AnimData blocks + NLA-'tweaking'.
* Fixed view-matrix bug introduced in last commit for text drawing. For now, we'll just reset the view matrix after doing that, since it's not too acceptable to move these calls to the end yet, as they should get overlapped by some other editor features (such as the Current Frame indicator)
* Fix crash adding rigid body constraint.
* Give new nodetrees NT in ID name to make them recognizned by RNA,
even if the nodetrees aren't actual ID datablock.
CID: 475
Checker: REVERSE_INULL (help)

You'll notice in the code the var is actually set again
a few lines down before being used so better to set it
after you've made sure the pointer is valid.

* Added click-select/left-right select and deselect all/invert all selection operators. For now, these basic operators will suffice (more advanced selection operators will be coded at a later stage).
* Fixed a few bugs in DopeSheet found while coding the relevant tools for NLA.
* Added custom border-select operator for NLA channels (since the standard one assumes negative direction channel order)
* Added new API-method for NLA strips to check if the strip occurs within a given range, since this test needed to be performed in a few places...
* Tweaked the NLA Editor View2D ranges a bit to give saner default sizing. This still isn't right yet though.
* Trying to save no longer crashes in some cases when the NLA Editor was open with some data. The sanity check added in filesel.c might be able to be backported to 2.5? (Elubie, please check)
* NLA-track names now get drawn with the correct colours for identifying themselves as being selected or not selected.
* Now the 'push down' functionality for actions will try to add the new strip to the last NLA track, provided it has space in the range required.
* When new strips are added, they will only be allowed to extrapolate before/after if they are the first (time-wise) strip for the set of NLA data per AnimData block. This stops layered strips overriding strips that occurred in earlier tracks at earlier times.
* Fixed some bugs which meant that NLA-strips weren't getting drawn
* Removed some debugging code
* Fixed bug with Action-line disappearing after 'pushing down' actions
* Fixed bug where Objects with no animation data showed up in NLA
* Tried fixing a bug where NLA-strips were evaluated erratically. I have a feeling that there are some rounding errors I'll need to pay more attention to somewhere :/
Added a system for adding a "local" context in a UI layout.
This way you can define for example within a modifier panel
all operators to get the modifier in the context.
In the layout code:
uiLayoutSetContextPointer(layout, "modifier", &ptr)
layout.set_context_pointer("modifier", md)
In the operator:
ptr = CTX_data_pointer_get(C, "modifier")
md = context.modifier
* Added Constraints template and Add Constraint operator.
* Added toggle=True/False parameter to uiItemR, to get a
toggle button (actual button) rather than an "option"
button (checkbox)
* Added OPTION/OPTIONN button type, to distinguish with
TOG/TOGN.
RNA:
* Make all modifier pointers editable, including correct updates.
* Added notifiers and updates to constraints.
* Fix a stack corruption, pointed out by Andrea, and potentially
causing crashes.
- Removed/Commented some unused vars
- CValue::GetPropertyText() could return a temp reference to a variable on the stack, option wasnt used anywhere so removed.
- KX_ConstraintWrapper::GetConstraintId allows args but ignored them
- KX_ConstraintWrapper::PySetParam didnt return NULL on an error (messing up pythons exceptions).
- BLI_natstrcmp didnt return 0 when the while loop exited
+ fixed Python method, PyArg_ParseTuple already checks for errors, no returning of NULL, thanks Campbell too)
+ added linear/angular spring for each of the 6DOFs of a generic 6dof constraint. This makes the generic 6dof constraint very versatile.

(todo: expose this setting in World setting GUI)
Expose contact processing threshold in Advanced GUI, next to rigid body margin, called CPT.
Default to 1, makes rigid body stacking a bit more stable, smaller values makes sliding easier (at the cost of easier jittering).
Disabled for 'dynamic' objects that don't rotate, because characters etc. always need smooth sliding.
Added subdivide operator and button for multires.
Since this seems to be the only modifier with an operator defined, I'm not sure if I put it in a good place or not, someone can check on this?
In this commit:
* Added code for freeing NLA data now stored in AnimData
* Started writing some utilities for adding NLA data, especially the 'push-down' concept for Actions
* Cleanups of existing code - removal of obsolete NLA code from various places
Next commits/parts:
* File IO code for new-style NLA data
* Version patching for old data to new data
Four new buttons in World settings to control frame rate:
fps: Nominal frame rate in frame per second.
Also sets the physics timestep = 1/fps
phys: Maximum number of physics timestep per game frame in case
the actual fps is less than nominal. This allows the
physics to keep up with real time even if the graphics slows
down the game.
sub: Fixed number of simulation substeps per physic timestep.
Improves the precision of the physics simulation. Useful for
fast moving objects for example.
log: Maximum number of logic steps per game frame in case the
actual fps is less than nominal. This allows the logic
system to follow the physics simulation.
Upper bound = phys
(setting the value higher than phys has no effect).
On games with heavy logic system, it is useful to set this
value to 1, to keep logic time under control.
All these values were already accessible from Python except phys:
GameLogic.getMaxPhysicsFrame():
Gets the maximum number of physics frame per render frame.
GameLogic.setMaxPhysicsFrame(phys):
Sets the maximum number of physics timestep that are executed per render frame.
Higher value allows physics to keep up with realtime even if graphics slows down the game.
Physics timestep is fixed and equal to 1/tickrate (see setLogicTicRate)
maxphysics/ticrate is the maximum delay of the renderer that physics can compensate.
phys: integer
* template_modifier creates the modifier box, and returns a layout
to put the buttons in.
* Only the armature modifier is now done with python code, all other
modifiers use C code. To convert a modifier to python, remove the
corresponding C code and create a function in DATA_PT_modifiers.
* Some modifiers still require some RNA work to get it working well,
especially to make pointers editable. Mostly that is a matter of
defining an own _set callback and put some of the modifier C code
into it.
* Still various buttons that don't work, like for hooks or mesh
deform binding.
* Fix for crashing decimate modifier (still disabled).
* Removed UI_BUT_NO_HILITE, HMENU.
* Make uiLayoutBox work with align.
* Added material "type" property, with Surface/Volume/Halo
options, compatible with sim_physics, as requested for
material buttons layout. Obviously the Volume setting
does nothing currently.
* Deprecated MA_HALO flag in favor of this.
Servo control motion actuator did not work as expected when the object
is moving on a moving platform.
This patch introduces a new Ref field in the servo motion actuator
to set a reference object for the velocity calculation.
You can set the object during the game using the actuator "reference"
attribute; use an object name or an object reference.
The servo controller takes into account the angular velocity of the
reference object to compute the relative local velocity.
