ID Properties binding have now been added for textures. Also,
the beginnings of supporting "del IDProperty Object" (which
basically removes the property from it's parent group then frees
it) in python were done; really the only thing now is to figure
out exactly *how* you overload the del operator. :S
This commit adds supports for per-ID properties to blender.
See http://mediawiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/ID_Property
for more information on how it all works.
ID properties are accesable by python; but note that
bindings have only been added to Object and Material thus
far. However adding more bindings is easy and I plan
on adding several more hopefully within an hour of this inital
commit.
A generic UI panel is also planned, that will go wherever its
needed; for example in the material buttons, editing buttons, etc.
I'll likely submit the initial code for that as a patch, though,
so matt and ton and others can go over it and make sure it's
all good. :)
VERY important, if you intend to use ID properties please
go to http://mediawiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/PropertyStandards
and start writing the appropriate standards for it.
Removed recently added Material API methods getRbFriction() and
getRbRestitution(). Erwin had already added attributes rbFriction and
rbRestitution, and current API design goal is to eventualy replace
all getStuff()/setStuff() with attributes.
for these modules. Adds some new convenience funcs to gen_utils.
This is internal change only and presents little change to the
BPy API except for cleanup of some inconsistencies.
A big contribution from Ken Hughes. Thanks!
- BPy_Material_methods[] "setFilter" calls Material_setFresnelMirrFac()
- Material_setSpecSmooth() should be setting param[3], not param[2]
Contributed by Ken Hughes. Thanks!
- corrections to constants
- parameter type checking
- correct use of METH_VARARGS vs METH_NOARGS
- return objects instead of strings in Scene.getChildren() as per doc.
- correct logical operators
Thanks, Ken!
- give it the key/items interface
- creates some factory functions for const generation
- genutils methods
- method for getting module constants
- method for throwing errors with a print string
- updates to function names
- clean up interpreter launch a bit
- Jean-Michel Soler: 1) paths import -- ai module; 2) tex2uvbaker;
- Campbell Barton: obj exporter.
BPython:
- Campbell also provided a patch (+docs) to add shader data access to Blender.Material.
Again, thanks guys and sorry for the long delay.
- Mostly this cleans up the #includes and header files in the python project.
- Warning fixes are mostly casting issues and misc fixes. General warning clean up.
- #include Python.h MUST come as the first include to avoid the POSIX redefine warning in the unix makefiles
- fno-strict-aliasing flag added to makefile to fix a unavoidable type punning warning in types.c
- based on a request by Campbell (he also provided a patch for scene.Layer) access to layers was improved a little, keeping the old method (ob.Layers is a bitmask) and adding the nicer one (ob.layers is a list of ints). Done for objects and scenes. House-cleaning: .Layer was renamed to .Layers (actually just using strncmp instead of strcmp, so both work, same done for Window.ViewLayers).
- finally committing patch by Ken Hughes to let .clearScriptLinks() accept a parameter (list of strings) to clear only specified texts.
- doc updates and fixes (JMS reported a problem in nmesh.transform() example code).
Thanks all who contributed.
- applied Campbell Barton's patch for access to Oops location and selection of materials, mesh data and objects, slightly modified. Thanks, Campbell;
- got rid of warnings in many files, hopefully not introducing any other during the process. Mostly this was done: 1) new EXPP_incr_ret_True/False functions were added and used instead of "Py_INCREF(Py_True/False); return Py_True/False;". Currently at least the functions use the fact that PyTrue/False == 1/0 and use 1 and 0 to avoid the warnings. 2) Filling of certain types structs got 0's added for all not defined data and methods. This is surely Python version specific, since these structs can change size and content at each major version number Python update.
- patch by Jonathan Merritt: new function Blender.Draw.Image() + its doc;
- patch by Campbell Barton: .users attribute for many types;
- tiny internal change in nmesh.hasVertexUV() method.
Thanks to Jonathan and Campbell for the patches and the patience!
channels to link texture to.
The amount of code changes seems large, but is mostly getting rind of
hardcoded values (6 and 8) for channels, replacing it with MAX_MTEX.
Further did some fixes;
- Ipo for Lamp showed too many mapping channels
- Texture MapTo buttons for lamp missed the slider to blend texture color
- Lamp texture mapping "View" only worked for Spot, now it uses lamp-
view vector for all types. (Nice for projections!)
-- Alexander Szakaly reported and provided a patch for Material.c and NMesh.c to solve crash in material handling when there's no material.
-- Ton reported a crash with advancing a frame after creating a new script link. I couldn't reproduce the crash, but added a check in BPY_do_pyscript to make sure the passed ID pointer is valid.
Thanks both.
- move static declarations and data definitions out of headers.
the BGL module still need cleaning.
- move declarations out of modules.h and into appropriate .h files.
modules.h still exists as a container for the few modules that
need to #include almost everything.
- all files now have a $Id tag and have been formatted by indent
there are no changes to executable code.
pre-commit versions are tagged with bpy-cleanup-pre-20041007
for the sake of paranoia.
Run everything thru indent to cleanup spaces vs tabs.
Clean up some of the comments by hand.
BGL.c was not touched due to all that macro wackyness.
There are no functional changes to the code.
Pre-indent versions of source are tagged with
tag bpy-cleanup-20040925 , just in case.
- BPython: finishing object and nmesh .setMaterials commit, fixing two bugs. Also fixed a crash with object.track (pointer wasn't checked for validity). All based on reports and patch by Yann Vernier, thanks again.
-- splash screen disappeared (duh, I did that!) and Blender quits upon exiting from some 225 games:
It was troublesome to find how to run demos in general with the screen correctly redrawn before they started, etc. Ended up making the above error in screenmain(). About the games, I don't have them and will need some time to get the files for testing, but I'll do it, though only on linux.
BPython:
-- Window: added GetScreens, SetScreen and improved GetScreenInfo.
-- Object, NMesh: updated (added in NMesh) method getMaterials to return either only valid materials as before or also empty slots (as None). This previous omission can be considered a bug, since it made info about materials incomplete / incompatible with face mat indices. Thanks Yann Vernier for bringing this up and sending/proposing a patch that also fixed a bug related to assigning lists of materials with different lengths to obj and its mesh. setMaterials also accepts Py_None entries now, which become empty slots in Blender.
-- doc updates.
- Added function Blender.Save(filename) to save .blend files.
- Added scriptlink-related methods (get, clear, add) to Scene and Materials. Will still add method remove and add these methods to World, Object, Camera and Lamp.
- Updates and small fixes in docs.
- Added "Radio" to Material modes
- Fixed bug in bone.getParent (bug report on blender.org py forum)
- Added more types to object.shareFrom (method to share obdata)
- Added nmesh.get/setMaxSmoothAngle and nmesh.get/setSubDivLevels
- Updated NMesh doc
changed "get_ipo(key, ..." to "get_ipo((ID *)key, ..." in line 107.
* changed insert_meshkey(Mesh *me) to insert_meshkey(Mesh *me, short offline):
To call this function from a script, so that it doesn't pop the
"relative / absolute" dialog window when the "offline" arg is non-zero.
Exppython:
* NMesh module:
- Added method NMesh.addMaterial(mat) to the NMesh module:
alternative safer (aka slower) way to add materials.
- Added optional arg to NMesh_update():
if given and equal to 1, the mesh normals are recalculated.
- Fixed NMesh.getVertexInfluences: it was segfaulting when a NULL bone was
linked to the vertex. Thanks to Jiba on the bf-python mailing list for
bug report and sample .blend file. Also made this method give an IndexError
when the vertex index is out of range.
* Material module:
Added specR, specG, specB vars for compatibility with the 2.25 API.
Pointed by Manuel Bastioni.
* Image module:
Exposed image width, height and depth parameters.
From a suggestion by jms.
* BPython Ref Doc:
- Small updates to reflect the above additions.
- Added info for the Bone type in the Armature doc.
- Continued getting rid of print methods and updating repr ones:
Needed to fix crashes on Windows >= 98 systems.
- Found and fixed a few small memory leaks in EXPP_interface, related to
execution of script links.
- Fixed a problem with control of the global Python dictionary persistence:
Blender.ReleaseGlobalDict(bool) should now work fine.
- Trying to fix the sigsegv crashes on Windows:
They happen when we try to "print" our objects, like Lamps or Cameras.
Following advice from the Python Embedding doc, removed the tp_print
method from Camera and also improved its tp_repr one, that will be used
as print, repr() and str() for Cameras. If this test works all other objs
will be updated accordingly.
Thanks Florian Eggenberger for telling us about it. And Greg McBride for
pointing a possible fix.
- Draw.Text and Draw.GetStringWidth updated:
Now they accept an optional second parameter to set font size and Draw.Text
returns the drawn string width.
- Partially fixed the update() and PutRaw() bugs in NMesh:
A total fix will require bigger changes, but what was done (unless buggy)
takes care of the common cases.
