* Added crash fixes for loading old files with Actions/Armatures in them. Was caused by usage of some old globals still and the functions in question not performing NULL checks on the validity of the data they're given.
* Added back reorganise action channels tools (shift/ctrl-shif pageup/down) for Action Editor. These are only available in 'Action Mode' only.
* Tidied up Action Editor/Dopesheet tools code - removed various unused things, and also, added an API call in anim_deps.c to send the correct notifiers, since I anticipate that they're likely to require a few context checks which would be better to centralise than copy+paste everywhere.
Note to Ton: could you have a look at this notifier stuff here? I'm not sure which ones I should be sending...
* Also added a few assorted comments in various places
* Animation channels - cleaned up the code for selecting channels (removed various TODO stuff that's going to be replaced by something better later). Also, added back the ctrl-shift select feature for groups, which should be extended for other channels too at some stage.
* Outliner - added missing flags to do-versions, and replaced the width calculations with the rna-width version for now, as that uses constant width of 100 with OL_X*indention
WM: added area-listener, which can be used to tag refreshes for
either the drawing call, or use the new ED_area_tag_refresh()
function which will automatically call, after all notifiers
were handled, an the spacetype->refresh() you provided.
Added for Joshua, after reviewing Action/Dopesheet requirements.
Joshua: I've made two dummy functions in space_action.c:
- action_listener()
- action_refresh()
Wich now does a printf on activating a new object.
Think global, act local!
The old favorite G.scene gone! Man... that took almost 2 days.
Also removed G.curscreen and G.edbo.
Not everything could get solved; here's some notes.
- modifiers now store current scene in ModifierData. This is not
meant for permanent, but it can probably stick there until we
cleaned the anim system and depsgraph to cope better with
timing issues.
- Game engine G.scene should become an argument for staring it.
Didn't solve this yet.
- Texture nodes should get scene cfra, but the current implementation
is too tightly wrapped to do it easily.
The functionality already existed via the RNA system, this
commit makes disabled buttons draw greyed out, and not respond to clicks
(previously, they would drag/edit/etc but then reset to the previous value)
- after talking with Martin P (theeth), I have now shuffled code around
so that there is no more exception code for nodes in the wrong places.
This means node editor now also use entirely common translation.
As proof of concept, there is now also resize and rotate support. It already
works, but there need to be a bit more thought in how those
actions are initialised for node editor. Probably some way to tell
what to use as pivot point, etc.
Transform operator replay
Basic support working. Only saves mode and values, not constraint setup.
Removed event pointer from TransInfo (it's not available in operator exec). Replaced checks to event->modifiers to a functional modifier bitfield in TransInfo (that is, instead of checking for Shift, it checks for MOD_PRECISION) to make it remappable later.
Misc:
X-Mirror for mesh now working with transform
* Start of Action/Pose syncing code (in anim_deps.c) This is currently not hooked up yet, as we still need to figure out where these should get called (due to a few dependencies they have - i.e. visibility syncing of channels is turned on/off by setting in appropriate views).
* Also added assorted comments/changes to rna/dna
* Added the relevant filtering necessary for this to work, into the animation-channel filtering code.
* Updated most of the keyframe-editing tools to respect this
* Renamed keyframe-editing API loopers (added ANIM_ prefix) for consistency
* Added function for mapping keyframes to/from NLA-mapping for Ipo-Curves in addition to the one for IPO blocks. As a result, renamed the latter for consistency.
* Added back deselect all (and invert all) tools for Animation Channels (i.e. channel list in Action Editor).
* Resolved all MSVC warnings (I came across) in View2d code. Also, added a new API method to get the coordinates (in 'view' space) of a listview 'cell' given the row + column the cell is in.
* Tidied up a few comments here and there
- View3D backbuffer select is back ("occlusion select").
It doesn't use the old 'afterqueue' yet, which ensured backbuffers
to draw immediate after swapbuffers. Will with that.
- Put back vertex/edge/face select
- Mode menu allows going in/out editmode
- Tested some tweak event stuff in WM, made tweak event follow
user preset for 'action' or 'select' mouse.
(Wanted to try this for transform, but better get advise from
Martin first :)
- Made scrollwheel behave uniform for zooming. It uses the UserDef
to map what's in our out. Use keymap entries WHEELINMOUSE and
WHEELOUTMOUSE to trigger this. Also removed the feature to store
in event->val the direction, it was conflicting with KM_ANY.
- Added more default poll callbacks, use for generic ops things
like ED_operator_object_active.
- Edit mode Mesh undo/redo back
(undo for editmodes needed recode, todo for curve/lattice/etc)
- Added border select for edit mesh
- Added Akey (de)select all for edit mesh
- Added notifiers for mode changes.
This is also the first trial to dynamically add/remove
keymap handlers, based on modes. For that reason the Object
keymap was split in 2, modal and non-modal. On TABkey, the
view3d listener removes and adds maps.
The view3d keymap still handles generic mouse/border selection.
Internally it will verify modes.
The modes are not re-implemented still... have to move this
to scene context.
* Fixed 'mute' icons for IPO-Curve channels. Added define for icon-button widths instead of magic numbers there too.
* Restored View All (HomeKey) and Auto-Set Preview Range (Ctrl-Alt-P). These tools both use the max extents of the keyframes to determine their (time)range.
First commit for 2009!
Started of porting of Animation Editor Channels stuff.
This code will be used for both the Action and IPO editors, so any existing code involving this has now been moved to the Animation module.
* Added mouse-click operator for this channels view. Note: the selection stuff currently uses temporary toggling code only (i.e. it only toggles the selection of the channels in the editor, but does not update status of rest of database).
* Fixed bugs in View2D listview functions. Reduced the amount of code needed, and makes the code here simpler.
* Renamed action_edit_keyframes.c to action_edit.c, since channels are not handled there anymore.
* Dopesheet now refreshes correctly when object selection elsewhere changes.
- Transform for editmesh (including PET and editmesh snap) X-Mirror doesn't seem to work, but the option isn't accessible in the UI, so...
- Replacing G.obedit with obedit from context in view3d_header (other files will have to be done too, I just happened to stumble on that one while fixing other things).
Added extend-select for edit mesh.
Note for operator design; you cannot give operators hardcoded
properties like "SHIFT" or "ALT", that conflicts with the idea
of keymaps. Instead the properties have to be functional, like
setting 'extend' on or off.
I also think mouse select could get these operators:
- activate/select, option 'extend'
- activate/select on object center, option 'extend'
- activate/select, with menu, option 'extend'
and of course loop-select, group-select, and so on.
BTW: border-select could also get 'extend' option :)
So, editmode mesh is back! :)
At the moment only TABkey works and mouse select, 1 vertex at a
time. More will follow of course.
Note for the devs:
- G.editMesh has been removed, be careful with old code.
- EditMesh now is property of Mesh itself
Although it means unlimited editmodes, for migration purposes we
better stick to 1 "obedit" per scene, which is in Context too
- G.obedit will get removed soon, so use CTX_data_edit_object(C)
Or if you can't, just scene->obedit for now
- Also removed the CTX_data_edit_mesh(), this has no meaning
anymore. EditMesh is not context senstitive anymore, only the
edit-object for time being is.
- Martin: I've already tucked some EditMesh pointer in T and
removed all G.editMesh there.
Added methods for easier checking of visiblity/position of items arranged in some regular table format (i.e. columns and/or rows).
Last commit from me for 2008!
Brecht, please let me know if I haven't done the right thing with the RNA stuff - I thought it was easier to ask for forgiveness than approval in this case :)
* Added a cute 'RNA' icon
Undo editmode and global undo code back.
It's now called ED_undo_push() btw, but don't worry, for operators
this is going to be a simple operator flag, so you can remove the
old calls from all tools (but keep them when you directly change
data outide modifiers).
Will put undo back functional tomorrow
EditMesh: further cleanup, made derivedmesh itterator functions
work by gathering all related data in local ViewContext struct.
(scene, editmesh, region, view3d, obedit).
Also removed bad inclusion of view3d_intern.h in mesh module.
Editmesh code cleaned and compiling/linking. A whopping
20k lines back! :)
Not that it does stuff... editmode in/out has to be done,
and loads of operators. Also linking/exporting editmesh
calls has to be reviewed.
Also: added a blender_test_break() mechanism in BKE.
* Added a report list to operator, to which they can report errors and
warnings. When the operator ends, it will display them with a popup. For
python these should become exceptions when calling operators.
* Added a function to make a popup menu from a report list.
* Also added a utility function to prepend a string before the reports to
indicate what they relates to. Also made the report functions used
BLI_dynstr to simplify the code.
* Made file reading and writing report errors to the user again using this
system, also replacing the left over uncommented bad level error() calls.
More notifier cleanups:
NC_SCENE|ND_OB_SELECT : scene level object selections changed
NC_SCENE|ND_OB_ACTIVE : scene level, new active object
NC_OBJECT|ND_BONE_SELECT : object level, bone selection changed
NC_OBJECT|ND_BONE_ACTIVE: object level, new active bone
I've made view3d listen to these, so operators that change
selections don't have to tag own region for redraw anymore.
Also enabled selecting/activating in outliner again.
BTW: Added it in space_action, but Joshua has to code the
proper refresh still :)
Transform:
First working port of the transform code:
- Object mode only (other conversions need to be ported)
- Contraints (global and local only) working
- Snap (no edit mode, obviously) working
- Numinput working
- Gears (Ctrl and Shift) working
- Only grap, rotate, scale, shear, warp and to sphere have been added as hotkey, but the rest should work too once accessible
- No manipulator
- No drawn feedback other than moving stuff and header print (no constraint line, snap circle, ...)
- No NDOF support
I've only tested Scons support, though Makefil *should* work, I *think*.
Misc:
-QuatIsNull function in arith
-Exporting project_* and view[line|ray] functions from view3d
* Brought back clean (OKEY), sample (Shift-OKEY), and delete (XKEY/DELKEY) tools for the Action Editor.
Currently clean uses a predefined threshold (as a rna-prop, though it's still lacking the popup to set this when it is called)
* Added new file for 'destructive' keyframe operations/tools.
* Got keyframing.c compiling. Now, some of these tools need to be operatorised. Also, the API there might change when enough of the system is stable for RNA-IPO work to take place (so that it can be tested).
* Added 'set handle-type' operator. Currently, all possible handle types are all set using a menu and HKEY. This will need to be reviewed at some point, but I think it should be easier for users to remember 1 hotkey for this, rather than 4 scattered around the place.
* Added 'set interpolation' operator. This uses the Shift-T hotkey as before (for now). As in AnimSys2, this sets per-keyframe interpolation.
* Remapped toggle frames/time-codes operator to Ctrl-T key. This may still change, but the TKEY needs to be free for transform tool here.
* After several hours of manual dragging and typing the icon file is now
enlarged and completely reorganised logically, rather than scattered
throughout. This should provide a lot more room for growth, and is a
lot easier to work with (also allowing more space for toggle buttons
that require two icon slots next to each other). The icon grid has now
25 x 24 icons - hopefully this might last us for a couple more years :)
Some of the naming of icon defines is a bit ancient and can be cleaned
up a bit further. Other devs, if when bringing spaces back, it's
finding the wrong icon, or missing a define, try and look to see if
it's already existing in the new icon file, or drop me a note and I'll
fix it up.
Note: after these changes, older custom blender 2.4 icon
files won't work and will need to be updated to the new layout.
* Enlarged the icons themselves from 15x16 pixels to 16x16 pixels (icon
designer request). This is a more standard size, and is easier to fit
stuff in proportionally.
* Added a bunch more of jendrzych's icons that weren't added previously
since there wasn't space in the icon file (including a few more
modifier icons)
* Tweaked the outliner somewhat, so that instead of just showing a
generic 'object' icon for all objects, it shows 'object type' icons,
per object type. This makes the outliner a lot more useful for browsing
at a glance - a huge row of identical 'object' icons doesn't really
give much useful information. See here:
http://mke3.net/blender/devel/2.5/outliner_obtypes.png
Anim playback part 1 (needs more test, will do after commit)
- added the update_for_new_frame() back
- proper evaluation of time change notifier in WM level
- fixed redraw flushes for menus while animation plays.
* Started porting back keyframe editing tools for the Action Editor/Dopesheet. Currently, only Snap (Shift-S) and Mirror (Shift-M) are functional.
* Added keyframe-editing API method for ensuring that all IPO-curves are left in a valid state after modifiying the values of their keyframes.
* Added operator-register flags for most of the operators. Only mouse-select doesn't have it for now (as there's not much useful info stored, and no exec callback).
- Added 3d cursor operator (no exec, waiting for vector property!)
- Added default editor callbacks, for the poll() function.
Example:
ot->poll= ED_operator_view3d_active;
I'll add later more, per module, such as OBJECT_active, which
can be called without WM active
* API and usage is basically the same still.
* Panels were moved to region level. I first thought of keeping them at area
level, but having them at region level it's simpler to handle events and do
drawing, and also to integrate with view2d. They can still become area level
overlapping regions, if we make a floating (or docked) region that can
contain panels.
* Added back a few panels from the scene buttons for testing.
Issues still:
* The view2d handling and alignment refresh of panels is not correct yet in the
buttons window.
* I did not yet bring back the block handlers system. It was basically a system
that stored which panel was open and where the events for that panel would go.
Just a few functions, but not sure how it fits in 2.5.
* There was a case where dragging panels would not properly remove the window
level handler, but could not redo anymore even though I don't think I fixed
it.
* Some text in the panels goes past the end of the button, that is due to the
checkmark button drawing, not related to this commit.
Other UI code changes:
* Renamed interface.h to interface_intern.h for consistency.
* Fixed some issues with freeing of blocks when they changed due to context.
* uiDrawBlock now takes a context pointer (mostly for block drawextra).
User Notes (for using tools whose behaviour has changed):
* Mouse Selection Tools:
1) Click on keyframe to modify its selection. Holding the 'Shift' modifier when doing so, will result in keyframe selection being toggled instead of replacing existing selections.
2) Click on either side of the current frame indicator while holding the 'Alt' modifier. This will select only all the keyframes on the relevant side of the current frame indicator.
3) Click on a keyframe while holding the 'Ctrl' modifier. This will select all the keyframes that fall on that frame.
* Borderselect Tools
1) BKEY selects all the keyframes within the specified range (as per normal)
2) ALT-BKEY will select either all the keyframes in the frame-range specified or the channel range specified, depending on which axis of the select region was larger. This method is prejudiced towards frame-range selection.
Code Notes:
* Finished porting over all of the remaining keyframe selection tools, and recoded the ported ones to make them easier to use (after running into some technical limitations)
* Simplified the way to check if 'animation context' is valid by moving a necessary check into that function.
* Refactored internal keyframe-looping tools to reduce the amount of code needed per tool to edit keyframes, removing a lot of the unnecessary bulk. Now, the ipo/icu_keys_bezier_loop functions recieve a few more arguments (1st arg is pointer to generic customdata, and another defines a validation callback which makes it easier to reuse some of the select callbacks).
* Added 'totrect' adjustment for number of channels being shown in Action Editor, so that scrolling will be limited to where there is data (and also so that scroller displays more relevant context info).
For this to work, filtering channels now returns the number of channels extracted. This may come into use for other tools if there's such a need.
* I still need to port over some code for markers, which is required for some of the tools which use them. For now, those tools do nothing.
* Grease-Pencil editing mode in Action Editor is currently non-functional (code is commented out due to missing dependencies). This is currently pending the re-implementation of Grease Pencil in 2.5
Fix: popup menus were not freeing operators.
Made a new Popup menu call for this case:
uiPupmenuOperator(C, maxrow, op, propname, menustr);
It will set enum "propname" to the menu item and call operator,
register it optionally and free it. Use it in "invoke" calls.
Next: automatic menu generating for enum properties!
Commit of WIP code (what code isn't wip, these days ;)
- only drawing code as basis to work further from (and have less conflicts between different systems I work on)
Ported the following tools
* borderselect
* invert selection
Note: while porting these, I noticed a few issues with some stuff that still needs to be cleaned up.
Events handling in scrollers won't work yet, for the useful select all in frame(-range) or select all in channel(s). We should probably review ways to expose this more clearly in the UI too.
Object: converted the old horrible editobject.c, now as file:
editors/object/object_edit.c
Still lots of WIP, I've operatorified "Make Parent". Check here
the new API at work: http://pasteall.org/3650/c
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR BRECHT:
game property defines were clashing with RNA, i've renamed game
defines for now.
Now, selecting keyframes with mouse behaves more like before.
Note: this still mostly uses old code, since other parts of code also call this. For later, it'd be nice to store as RNA prop, method of selecting.
* Brought back backend for editing keyframes IPO/IPO-Curves. Did some refactoring work here that will still have to be verified when operators using them are added.
* Animation channel filtering code now returns the number of channels filtered (for Action Editor to set totrect of channels - TODO still!)
* View2D - made function to check if mouse is in View2D scrollers an API function
* Renamed keyframe related files. The old names were too clumsy.
* Started porting click-select operators for Action Editor. These don't work currently, as the events are being stolen by the markers. This needs to be fixed ASAP.
Better implementation of own window timers, not using ghost.
That makes blender's WM nice in control, and gives callers
of timers the opportunitie to evaluate time passed since
previous step. This system also only generates one timer
event per main loop (events - handlers - notifiers - draw)
Small fix: allow keymap modifier to give KM_ANY to ignore
modifier keys, this to have TIMER keymap work.
