* removed radiosity render code, DNA and RNA (left in radio render pass options), we'll get GI to replace this probably, better allow baking to vertex colors for people who used this.
* removed deprecated solid physics library, sumo integrations and qhull, a dependency
* removed ODE, was no longer being build or supported
* remove BEOS and AMIGA defines and references in Makefiles.
* 2 new enums event_value_items and event_type_items in RNA_enum_types.h
* WM_key_event_string now uses an RNA enum lookup rather then its own switch statement.
* moved wmEvent from WM_types.h into DNA_windowmanager_types.h
* added RNA_enum_identifier and RNA_enum_name to get strings from an enum value.
* Added icon to property and enum property items. The latter is
responsible for the large number of files changed.
* For RNA functions, added PROP_RNAPTR flag to ask for a PointerRNA
as argument instead of a C pointer, instead of doing it implicitly
with the AnyType type.
* Material: properly wrap diffuse/specular param variables, and
rename some things for consistency.
* MaterialTextureSlot: added "enabled" property (ma->septex).
* Image: make animated property editable.
* Image Editor: make some things editable, notifiers, respect state.
* Context: fix issue with screen not being set as ID.
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* Game and sequencer RNA, and sequencer header are now out of date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.
Preview renders:
- Added proper button type (BUT_EXTRA) for preview buttons, to
handle drawing better. It now first draws an alpha mask, to
ensure the preview is correctly fitting inside the widget style.
It then draws the outline.
- Added protection for executing preview renders while regular
rendering, that's not going to work...
Nice goodie: Preview renders!
- Added new preview.blend, allowing super wide cinemascope previews
- Draws nicely blended inside widget type, rounded corners
- Preview now renders using all available cpus/cores.
- Uses - hopefully rock stable - method, which doesn't copy or
allocate anything for previews, but just uses render API calls.
- Multiple previews are possible! But, added provision in Jobs
manager to only render one preview job at a time. If you start
more preview jobs, they're suspended until it's their turn.
Bugfix: new buttons context code crashed when going full-window.
Tweaks are still needed for notifiers. I have to figure out still
how to retrieve SpaceButs button view types...
Several usablity tweaks:
- Search menu allows ScrollWheel to view items
- Tooltip on button on bottom of window showed wrong
- Tooltips were popping up while draggin (MMB) or scrolling
(wheel). Now they stay away.
- Stolen from Gimp (blame venomgfx for hint!): ScrollWheel allows
to go over menu items and use number buttons, only on mouse-over.
Note for devs: the WM_event_add_mousemove() call (to add a fake
event to bring UI back alive after view changes) now works much
more reliably. It ensures the mouse move is only handled after all
notifiers/redraws were done.
This allows the sequencers Add-Image strip to work like it does in 2.4x.
- as well as setting the "filename" operator property, operators can have collections called "files" and "dirs" which are set when available.
- RNA_OperatorFileListElement as new collection type, its a bit redundant since each item only has a "name" property but its needed since we don't have a string array type.
- the file selector now prints operators it runs.
Tested with python, adding a list of images works to the sequencer works.
bpy.ops.SEQUENCER_OT_image_strip_add(name="MyImages", start_frame=54, channel=2, filename="/somedir/", replace_sel=True, files=[{"name":"test1.png"}, {"name":"test2.png"}])
Search menu:
- Made nicer drawing for popup version of search. It now uses
entire backdrop like pulldowns.
Search boxes for text buttons will use different style still;
if we use this option all over it shouldn't look too intrusive.
- Search menu allows scroll, to view all items. It doesn't cycle
anymore.
- Click outside search menu now cancels
- If a match is in search button, it highlights it. This also
allows ALT+CTRL+F - Enter to redo last op.
- Search popup draws higher when no no space below. No order
flipping!
Bugfix: Icons were drawing on wrong subpixel positions, distorting
badly. Now it's crispy and tasty!
Noticed there's a magnifier icon already, using it for the search
option.
Further work on new "text search" button.
- Now allows to browse items (mouse, arrow key)
- Assigns active value
- Uses different backdrop to distinguish from popup menus
- Cleaned API for it, so it can be used nicely generic
Also added a search menu, which shows all currently working
operators: CTRL+ALT+F. (mind the looks, it needs some tweaks!)
To make a menu activating a button I've added a new event...
could use some tweaks.
Important note: the callback to pass on "old string" for text
button (bone rename) couldn't work yet, added first code for new
callback, but has to be worked on further. When bone rename gets
added it can be tested.
Simplified and started from a clean slate, without much of
the hidden existing space data that was hanging around
in the old one.
One issue I found is that saving the startup file from
Blender 2.5 also saves the window size and location.
This means the version I just saved would open up
strangely on other screen sizes/setups. I added code to
reset this to default when loading it up from the version
compiled into the Blender binary, but perhaps Ton/
Brecht might want to check the diff.
This includes a bunch of new object primitive icons
which would be great to get into the 'add object' menus,
they're not there yet. The specific lamp data type icons
are now used in the outliner though, which is very helpful.
- Added new popup menu type, which can be used to pass on a
running operator too. Needed it for debug menu, allowing to
set variables outside of operator "first do then tweak" system. :)
void uiPupBlockOperator()
Don't forget to tell invoke() return that operator now runs modal!
- Test menu: alt+ctrl+d gives the G.rt debug value.
Values of 0-16 now can be used to shrink areas, stuff like this
then happens (rt==4):
http://download.blender.org/institute/rt5.jpg
Was looking at ways to visually distinguish areas and regions
better. Yes I know, cute rounded corners, etc. Just testing!
Animation playback back in control. And non-blocking still!
- Play follows the "Playback" options in TimeLine menu.
Only the region 'windows' are drawn, not headers, toolbars,
channel views, etc.
The option "Buttons Window" also redraws property regions.
- The Timeline header always redraws, this to denote at least
progressing frame numbers
- For now: if you choose to play 3D views, it also redraws
the TimeLine. Seems to be good convention, but probably
better to add menu option for it?
- Fun test: while playback, change Playback options, works OK!
- New: top header button shows animation play status, and allows
to stop playback
- New: Animation stop/start operator. Assigned to ALT+A. It has
no options yet; just plays active region + all 3D windows now.
Options will follow, based on reviews.
Also ESC won't work for now, just press ALT+A again.
* Fix buttons jumping around when resizing and zoom. Part of this was
adding a tiny a 0.001f offset in UI_view2d_view_ortho, otherwise the
rounding is unpredictable (used to be 0.375f, but that was disabled).
* Fix various issues with zooming, panning panels. V2D_LOCKOFS_X/Y is
now taken into account in more places in the view2d code, to avoid
zooming into the center or panning out of the view.
* Remove "Free" align mode in buttons window (it's not really useful).
* View3D/Graph/Image editors now use the same PanelType system as the
buttons window, means some deprecated panel code could be removed.
* Some small visual tweaks for panels.
* View 2D Reset operator (Home key), to reset zoom and panning for panels.
* Added argument to set number buttons as sliders (slider=True for itemR).
* Ignore labels for button alignment (doesn't look right).
* Fix some use of context.main in py scripts, should get data from active
object instead.
* Fix autotexspace -> auto_texspace in py script.
Brought back the "Ten Timer" test, a useful debugging utility
to keep track of drawing speed. Currently assigned like 2.4x to
ALT+CTRL+T
Added new option to also test speed of drawing entire Window.
* Buttons are now created first, and after that the layout is computed.
This means the layout engine now works at button level, and makes it
easier to write templates. Otherwise you had to store all info and
create the buttons later.
* Added interface_templates.c as a separate file to put templates in.
These can contain regular buttons, and can be put in a Free layout,
which means you can specify manual coordinates, but still get nested
correct inside other layouts.
* API was changed to allow better nesting. Previously items were added
in the last added layout specifier, i.e. one level up in the layout
hierarchy. This doesn't work well in always, so now when creating things
like rows or columns it always returns a layout which you have to add
the items in. All py scripts were updated to follow this.
* Computing the layout now goes in two passes, first estimating the
required width/height of all nested layouts, and then in the second
pass using the results of that to decide on the actual locations.
* Enum and array buttons now follow the direction of the layout, i.e.
they are vertical or horizontal depending if they are in a column or row.
* Color properties now get a color picker, and only get the additional
RGB sliders with Expand=True.
* File/directory string properties now get a button next to them for
opening the file browse, though this is not implemented yet.
* Layout items can now be aligned, set align=True when creating a column,
row, etc.
* Buttons now get a minimum width of one icon (avoids squashing icon
buttons).
* Moved some more space variables into Style.
1) Remove WITH_FREETYPE2 from code, so now blender always need freetype2
2) Remove the old bmfont
3) Remove ftfont and bFTGL library
4) Implement a new BLF_draw_default function for place that still need/use
the old BMF api.
I try to update both, scons and cmake, but I only can test with make, so
hope all work fine.
MSVC is broken, but I don't have Windows, things to search and fix are
any reference to WITH_FREETYPE2, FTGL and BMFONT (take in care that
blenkernel also have a BKE_bmfont.h, this don't have anything to do with bmfont).
Always have to link/include the freetype2 library
Remove any reference to libbmfont
Remove any reference to libftfont
Remove any reference to libbftgl (or libbFTGL)
Summary of ain features:
- Themes and Styles are now editable.
- CTRL+U "Save user defaults" now goes to new .B25.blend, so you
can use 2.4x and 2.5x next to each other. If B25 doesn't exist, it
reads the regular .B.blend
- Press Tkey in 3d window for (unfinished) toolbar WIP. It now only
shows the last operator, if appropriate.
Nkey properties moved to the other side.
A lot of work was done on removing old themes for good and properly
getting it work with the 2.5 region system. Here's some notes;
- Buttons now all have a complete set of colors, based on button classifications
(See outliner -> user prefs -> Interface
- Theme colors have been extended with basic colors for region types.
Currently colors are defined for Window, Header, List/Channels and
for Button/Tool views.
The screen manager handles this btw, so a TH_BACK will always pick the
right backdrop color.
- Menu backdrops are in in Button theme colors. Floating Panels will be in
the per-space type Themes.
- Styles were added in RNA too, but only for the font settings now.
Only Panel font, widget font and widget-label work now. The 'group label'
will be for templates mostly.
Style settings will be expanded with spacing defaults, label conventions,
etc.
- Label text colors are stored in per-space Theme too, to make sure they fit.
Same goes for Panel title color.
Note that 'shadow' for fonts can conflict with text colors; shadow color is
currently stored in Style... shadow code needs a bit of work still.
* Headers and menus can now be created in python.
* Replaced the uiMenuItem functions to create menus with equivalent
uiItem functions using a layout, removing duplicated code.
* More uiItem functions are now exposed to python.
* The text editor header, panels and one of its menus are now created
in space_text.py.
* Buttons window data context icon new changes depending on active
object.
Issues
* Icons are not wrapped yet, hardcoded ints at the moment.
* The ID browse template is unfinished.
Fixes:
- HSV picker didn't work. Old option "No Hilite" for buttons made it not
being checked for input anymore. Needs to be on attention list!
- Node editor wasn't drawing buttons correctly. Two things to keep track
off:
- Use wmLoadIdentity(), not glLoadIdentity()
- I've added a wmPushMatrix() and wmPopMatrix() version for correct
wm-compatible push/pop. Only one level for now.
The Python API to define Panels and Operators is based on subclassing,
this makes that system more generic, and based on RNA. Hopefully that
will make it easy to make various parts of Blender more extensible.
* The system simply uses RNA properties and functions and marks them
with REGISTER to make them part of the type registration process.
Additionally, the struct must provide a register/unregister callback
to create/free the PanelType or similar.
* From the python side there were some small changes, mainly that
registration now goes trough bpy.types.register instead of
bpy.ui.addPanel.
* Only Panels have been wrapped this way now. Check rna_ui.c to see
how this code works. There's still some rough edges and possibilities
to make it cleaner, though it works without any manual python code.
* Started some docs here:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Blender2.5/RNATypeRegistration
* Also changed some RNA_property and RNA_struct functions to not
require a PointerRNA anymore, where they were not required (which
is actually the cause of most changed files).
* For new buttons spaces, automatically set horizontal/vertical
align depending on size, instead of free.
* Cleaned up the UI panel API. There's now a new uiBeginPanel
function which takes a panel type, and a uiEndPanel which takes
the final size. uiNewPanel* functions will be phased out.
* Animate the re-alignment when a panel size changes, e.g. when
enabling dupliframes.
* Load ui scripts from the release/ folder first if it is
available. This makes it easier to edit ui scripts, since it
will directly use the original files which avoids having to
run the build system.
* Improve editing of panel types while blender is open. That
means fixing some issues with lacking updates, overlaps, strange
ordering. It even does an animation now when the panel resizes.
More cleanup!
- removed old UI font completely, including from uiBeginBlock
- emboss hints for uiBlock only have three types now;
Regular, Pulldown, or "Nothing" (only icon/text)
- removed old font path from Userdef
- removed all old button theme hinting
- removed old "auto block" to merge buttons in groups
(was only in use for radiosity buttons)
And went over all warnings. One hooray for make giving clean output :)
Well, we need uniform definitions for warnings, so people at least fix
them... here's the real bad bugs I found:
- in mesh code, a call to editmesh mixed *em and *me
- in armature, ED_util.h was not included, so no warnings for wrong call
to ED_undo_push()
- The extern Py api .h was not included in the bpy_interface.c, showing
a several calls using different args.
Further just added the missing includes, and removed unused vars.
Grand cleanup:
- removal of FTF and ftfont dir
- removal of text.c which wrapped it
- wrapped old text drawing code temporarily, need to decide how 'style'
will behave per editor when you draw strings outside interface code....
wouldn't be very useful to set fonts locally all over?
WIP commit for UI drawing.
- Hooked up Diego's new Font API
- Added Style definitions for fonts, currently it uses
a different font for panel titles to show it.
- Styles are in Userdef now too, still not finished
- Userdef "DPI" will offer global control over font size,
to match monitor size/resolution. It's meant to scale
widgets and headers too btw, later.
- Lots of code removed for old fonts, but that's unfinished.
On todo: too much to mention, will continue happily tomorrow!
to WM_operator_menu for example, but popping up the redo menu. This is
useful for operators like particles rekey, which makes no sense without
specifying the number of keys.
When inserting keyframes in the 3D-View (support will be extended to other editors in due course) using the IKEY hotkey, the menu which appears will now consist of 3 parts:
* 'Active Keying Set' - this option allows you to use the user-defined KeyingSet which is active for the current scene (i.e. the one seen in the TimeLine/Outliner headers)
* User defined Keying Sets - a list of all such available KeyingSets is included, and entries can be chosen from there
* Built-In Keying Sets - see later...
To achieve this, several changes needed to be made first:
* Added support for 'relative' in addition to 'absolute' Keying Sets. Relative Keying Sets are Keying Sets which operate on data from the current context (i.e. a 'location' KeyingSet will add location keyframes for selected objects/bones/nodes as opposed to location keyframes for some particular object). The is a tentative 'templates' requirement system here, which still needs to be fully fleshed out.
* Added support for builtin Keying Sets (i.e. 'Location', 'Rotation', 'Scaling', and 'LocRot' as a few initial demonstrations), which replaces the temporary Insert Keyframe operator for the 3D-View (IKEY). These are effectively relative Keying Set definitions which are included in Blender by default and stored in a list separate from user-defined ones. Volunteer help in defining a few more of these for other editors will be welcome soon.
* Removed/replaced much of the crappy temporary Keyframing operator code, though a few tweaks could still be done.
* Screen level regions created for menus are now a separate
CTX_wm_menu in the context, so they don't interfere with
existing regions.
* Fix context in popup menus to always come from the area
and region the popup was opened from.
* Removed some unused context stuff: tasks and reports.
The places that were using context reports were using it
wrong anyway.
* Fix F6 closing immediately after editing a button, by
making uiBlockSetFlag not clear existing flags anymore.
* Don't use ":" in boolean X/Y/Z buttons.
WIP commit for new system to draw widgets and use themes or styles.
Not really interesting stuff to see in code now, the current
structure will change quite a lot, this to make it hook up well
to the existing system.
What works quite well is a new full opengl vector method to draw
scalable and pixel-aligned anti-aliased buttons.
http://download.blender.org/institute/rt3.jpghttp://download.blender.org/institute/rt4.jpg
Polyline, selection and a couple of others work. (note that polyline is shift-click because click is taken by 3d cursor. Needs a way to overwrite lower maps).
Support for subclassing blenders operator, to be registered as a new operator.
Still need to...
* add constants like Operator.FINISHED
* wrap context (with rna?)
* poll() cant work right now because there is no way to access the operatorType that holds the python class.
* Only float, int and bool properties can be added so far.
working example operator.
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Blender2.5/WinterCamp/TechnicalDesign#Operator_Example_Code
* Add Area Swap: hold alt and drag with LMB from either actionzone. Release LMB on area you want to swap with. I added a matching cute cursor for this (and to make it a politically delicate issue, it's white on black).
Note, there are still some error totblocks that I haven't been able to track down properly yet, so that's still a bit WIP.
Some UI tweaks and fixes
* fixed some overlapping buttons (Matt, feel free to change button arrangement if you like), the Bookmark (B) button should probably be removed eventually from the current place and the fsmenu button as well, now that we have the directories on the left panel.
* fixed initialisation of params->display
(aligorith: thanks for fixing, I did reset the #defines, since it was just missing the correct value in the initialisation)
* fixed bug when area became too small (crash)
* fixed bug (last file missing in long display)
* fixed selection when mouse outside tiles.
There was very little structure in this code, using many globals
and duplicated code. Now it should be better structured. Most
things should work, the main parts that are not back yet are the
python plugins and markers. Notes:
* Blenfont is used for drawing the text, nicely anti-aliased.
* A monospace truetype font was added, since that is needed for
the text editor. It's Bitstream Vera Sans Mono. This is the
default gnome terminal font, but it doesn't fit entirely well
with the other font I think, can be changed easily of course.
* Clipboard copy/cut/paste now always uses the system clipboard,
the code for the own cut buffer was removed.
* The interface buttons should support copy/cut/paste again now
as well.
* WM_clipboard_text_get/WM_clipboard_text_set were added to the
windowmanager code.
* Find panel is now a kind of second header, instead of a panel.
This needs especially a way to start editing the text field
immediately on open still.
* Operators are independent of the actual space when possible,
was a bit of puzzling but got it solved nice with notifiers,
and some lazy init for syntax highlight in the drawing code.
* RNA was created for the text editor space and used for buttons.
* Operators:
* New, Open, Reload, Save, Save As, Make Internal
* Run Script, Refresh Pyconstraints
* Copy, Cut, Paste
* Convert Whitespace, Uncomment, Comment, Indent, Unindent
* Line Break, Insert
* Next Marker, Previous Marker, Clear All Markers, Mark All
* Select Line, Select All
* Jump, Move, Move Select, Delete, Toggle Overwrite
* Scroll, Scroll Bar, Set Cursor, Line Number
* Find and Replace, Find, Replace, Find Set Selected,
Replace Set Selected
* To 3D Object
* Resolve Conflict
Bugfix: commit of last week that moved object_handle_update() out
of the view3d code into event loop caused render to crash. This
update should not be called during render. In future it'll even
be thread-locked or better; solved by giving objects an 'owner'
for storage of updates.
This solves a lot of crashes on render.
