This branch adds mostly organizational improvements to the node system by renaming the node folders and files. A couple of internal features have been added too.
Detailed information can be found on the wiki page:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Phonybone/Particles2010
Python:
* adds bpy.app.handlers which contains lists, each for an event type:
render_pre, render_post, load_pre, load_post, save_pre, save_post
* each list item needs to be a callable object which takes 1 argument (the ID).
* callbacks are cleared on file load.
Example:
def MyFunc(scene): print("Callback:", data)
bpy.app.handlers.render_post.append(MyFunc)
C:
* This patch adds a generic C callback api which is currently only used by python.
* Unlike python callbacks these are not cleared on file load.
* Windows installer not working for non-admin users and multiple users
* Addon scripts not installing next to user configuration
* Portable install not being taken into account in all places
The main problem was the windows installer was installing system scripts in
AppData next to the user configuration directory, which is not shared between
users. Now these are installed in ProgramFiles, and only addon scripts added
by the users go to AppData.
On all platforms, addon scripts were sometimes getting installed between
system scripts, because the scripts folder in the executable directory was
given precedence over the user configuration folder, that is no longer done
now. So addons now behave like user configuration, they are preserved even
if you download a newer build of the same blender version.
If you have an installation of 2.57 on windows, the addon install location
will not change until we do the version bump to 2.58, to avoid conflicts with
the existing the installed 2.57 version.
The old behavior of giving precedence to the local folder was done to support
portable install, where all configuration is written to the local folder. This
is now implemented differently: if and only if a "config" folder exists in the
local folder, portable install will be assumed, and files will only be written
to that local folder.
Nothing is changed by default but some linux distributions want to have executing python be opt-in.
This keeps the same functionality but disables auto-run from factory settings and in background mode unless its enabled as a command line argument.
This CMake option is marked as advanced and wont show in the regular options list so its less likely to be enabled by people that like to turn everything ON without reading descriptions :)
discussed with Janne, Ton, Nathan and we agreed this kind of change at least needs discussion with module owners.
Its also too close to release to be making these kinds of changes.
commands used:
# reverse merge
svn merge -r36073:36072 .
# for some reason this gave a lot of property changes
svn revert `svn st | grep "^ M" | awk '{print $2}'`
# reverse merging didn't work here, removing while dir.
svn rm extern/eltopo/
# manually fixed conflict in
# ./source/blenderplayer/CMakeLists.txt
#
# also manually removed 2 lines from
# ./CMakeLists.txt
Plugged the eltopo library into the cloth solver.
I was playing with it earlier, and it's so easy to
use I decided to quickly put it in (trunk's) cloth.
See http://www.cs.ubc.ca/labs/imager/tr/2009/eltopo/eltopo.html
. The authors are on the bleeding edge of continuous collision
detection (one of them did ILM's cloth sim).
I
don't really have to time to plug it into softbody, particles,
bullet, fluid, etc, but doing so would be pretty straightforward.
I'll leave that up to someone else.
To use, turn on USE_ELTOPO (in cmake) or WITH_BF_ELTOPO in scons.
