* Missing changes to release/windows/installer
* Sequencer fixes in source/blender/src/seqaudio.c dont apply to 2.5
* brechts fix for #18855 r20763 wasnt merged, does this apply to 2.5?
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* Game and sequencer RNA, and sequencer header are now out of date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.
the original blendfile path wasn't reset when loading new blendfiles.
blenderplayer was ok, but running the BGE from blender would set the blendfile original path and never reset it on loading other blend files.
- Size adjustments can be accomplished with warp mesh data now. So we get a free spot in the GUI for a tilt option.
- Tilt option to tilt the camera (for planetarium domes).
Angle is in degree from -180 to +180. It's needed for planetarium domes (as this one http://domejunky.blogspot.com/2009/05/dome-corrected-bge.html ).
- This is the last commit regarding dome code I expected to 2.49. I consider this feature full implemented now. (working on docs now)
This commit extends the technique of dynamic linked list to the logic
system to eliminate as much as possible temporaries, map lookup or
full scan. The logic engine is now free of memory allocation, which is
an important stability factor.
The overhead of the logic system is reduced by a factor between 3 and 6
depending on the logic setup. This is the speed-up you can expect on
a logic setup using simple bricks. Heavy bricks like python controllers
and ray sensors will still take about the same time to execute so the
speed up will be less important.
The core of the logic engine has been much reworked but the functionality
is still the same except for one thing: the priority system on the
execution of controllers. The exact same remark applies to actuators but
I'll explain for controllers only:
Previously, it was possible, with the "executePriority" attribute to set
a controller to run before any other controllers in the game. Other than
that, the sequential execution of controllers, as defined in Blender was
guaranteed by default.
With the new system, the sequential execution of controllers is still
guaranteed but only within the controllers of one object. the user can
no longer set a controller to run before any other controllers in the
game. The "executePriority" attribute controls the execution of controllers
within one object. The priority is a small number starting from 0 for the
first controller and incrementing for each controller.
If this missing feature is a must, a special method can be implemented
to set a controller to run before all other controllers.
Other improvements:
- Systematic use of reference in parameter passing to avoid unnecessary data copy
- Use pre increment in iterator instead of post increment to avoid temporary allocation
- Use const char* instead of STR_String whenever possible to avoid temporary allocation
- Fix reference counting bugs (memory leak)
- Fix a crash in certain cases of state switching and object deletion
- Minor speed up in property sensor
- Removal of objects during the game is a lot faster
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)
- the gp_GamePythonPath relative path variable wasnt updated when loading new files.
- missing NULL check for scene crashed blender when it failed to load a file.
Both problems dont affect blenderplayer
User guide:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Source/GameEngine/Fisheye_Dome_Camera
Fixed two bugs from original patch:
- deleting a text will clear the warp field from Game framing settings
- removed spurious black dots along the edge of the cube map in the gameplayer
Known limitation:
- resizing of the screen doesn't work in the gameplayer
Known bugs:
- Texture with reflexion are not rendered correctly
- Spurious problems with light
Previously this only worked with the Blender API.
- bpy_internal_import small C file that Blender scripting and the game engine use.
- Tested with blender, blenderplayer, loading files
- Needed to use a hack to override the Main struct since the game engine doesn't set G.main
- when the sandbox is set, only internal scripts can be imported.
other scenes, for texture face / multitexture materials.
Fix for bug #18428: BGE lights on hidden layers were still used,
for all material types, now they have no effect
Notes:
* Sequence transform strip uses G.scene global, this is commented
out now, should be fixed.
* Etch-a-ton code was most difficult to merge. The files already in
2.5 got merged, but no new files were added. Calls to these files
are commented out with "XXX etch-a-ton". editarmature.c and
transform_snap.c were complex to merge. Martin, please check?
* Game engine compiles and links again here for scons/make/cmake
(player still fails to link).
The multi-thread cache service is activated only on multi-core processors.
It consists in loading, decoding and caching the video frames in a
separate thread. The cache size is 5 decoded frames and 30 raw frames.
Note that the opening of video file/stream/camera is not multi-thread:
you will still experience a delay at the VideoFFmpeg object creation.
Processing of the video frame (resize, loading to texture) is still done
in the main thread. Caching is automatically enabled for video file,
video streaming and video camera.
Video streaming now works correctly: the videos frames are loaded
at the correct rate. Network delays and frequency drifts are automatically
compensated.
Note: an http video source is always treated as a streaming source,
even though the http protocol allows seeking. For the user it means that
he cannot define start/stop range and cannot restart the video except
by reopening the source. Pause/play is however possible.
Video camera is now correctly handled on Linux: it will not slow down the BGE.
A video camera is treated as a streaming source.
- variables that shadow vers declared earlier
- Py_Fatal print an error to the stderr
- gcc was complaining about the order of initialized vars (for classes)
- const return values for ints and bools didnt do anything.
- braces for ambiguous if statements
Assorted smaller fixes:
- Fix: modal keymaps for editmode in view3d were not set again
when you copy areas or go fullscreen.
- Improved "redo last op" (F6) to search back in history for
a redoable operator. Operator also used wrong pupmenu type.
- On creating new FCurve editor, the channel rainbow colors are
set correct.
- EditMesh: fixed code for Spin/Screw, correct props, init and
error reporting. (Spin hotkey ALT+R temporary)
- recompiled all to check for uninitialized variable warnings.
(compile flag should be -O for this). Fixed some proto's.
* giving compileflags, cc_compileflags and cxx_compileflags to BlenderLib() now actually overrides any other setting (so there's no unclarity when ie. conflicting options are being specified in REL_CFLAGS et al). These are set after either release or debug flags, but before any *_WARN flags (so those stay maintained).
* add cxx_compileflags for GE parts on win32-vc to have better performance.
* NOTE: if platform maintainers (OSX and Linux) could check and do the same for their systems. Not vital, but probably very, very much welcomed by GE users.
vector in perspective mode. This is default OpenGL behavior, but
by now this optimization is really insignificant. Works in both
the 3d view and game engine.
View3D has been split now in a local part (RegionView3D) and a
per-area part (old View3D). Currently local is:
- view transform
- camera zoom/offset
- gpencil (todo)
- custom clipping planes
Rest is in Area still, like active camera, draw type, layers,
localview, custom centers, around-settings, transform widget,
gridlines, and so on (mostly stuff as available in header).
To see it work; also added new feature for region split,
press SHIFT+ALT+CTRL+S for four-split.
The idea is to make a preset 4-split, configured to stick
to top/right/front views for three views.
Another cool idea to explore is to then box-clip all drawing
based on these 3 views.
Note about the code:
- currently view3d still stores some depricated settings, to
convert from older files. Not all settings are copied over
though, like custom clip planes or the 'lock view to object'.
- since some view3d ops are now on area level, the operators
for it should keep track of that.
Bugfix in transform: quat initialize in operator-invoke missed
one zero.
Als brought back GE to compile for missing Ipos and channels.
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 principle is to replace most get/set methods of logic bricks by direct property access.
To make porting of game code easier, the properties have usually the same type and use than
the return values/parameters of the get/set methods.
More details on http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/GameEngineDev/Python_API_Clean_Up
Old methods are still available but will produce deprecation warnings on the console:
"<method> is deprecated, use the <property> property instead"
You can avoid these messages by turning on the "Ignore deprecation warnings" option in Game menu.
PyDoc is updated to include the new properties and display a deprecation warning
for the get/set methods that are being deprecated.
to compile blender with gcc on IRIX, IRIX_USE_GCC needs to be set to true in
user-def.mk.
Other changes related to irix:
* compile solid from extern/
* don't build plugins (yet) with "make release" when using gcc (the shell
script used assumes MIPSpro is installed)
* use statvfs instead of statfs on irix, like done on solaris
* use external libs from $(LCGDIR) instead of /usr/freeware
* use glew header files from $(LCGDIR)/glew instead of the ones installed on
the system (this applies to other platforms as well)
* ffmpeg support currently is disabled on irix
svn merge https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/blender -r12987:17416
Issues:
* GHOST/X11 had conflicting changes. Some code was added in 2.5, which was
later added in trunk also, but reverted partially, specifically revision
16683. I have left out this reversion in the 2.5 branch since I think it is
needed there.
http://projects.blender.org/plugins/scmsvn/viewcvs.php?view=rev&root=bf-blender&revision=16683
* Scons had various conflicting changes, I decided to go with trunk version
for everything except priorities and some library renaming.
* In creator.c, there were various fixes and fixes for fixes related to the -w
-W and -p options. In 2.5 -w and -W is not coded yet, and -p is done
differently. Since this is changed so much, and I don't think those fixes
would be needed in 2.5, I've left them out.
* Also in creator.c: there was code for a python bugfix where the screen was not
initialized when running with -P. The code that initializes the screen there
I had to disable, that can't work in 2.5 anymore but left it commented as a
reminder.
Further I had to disable some new function calls. using src/ and python/, as
was done already in this branch, disabled function calls:
* bpath.c: error reporting
* BME_conversions.c: editmesh conversion functions.
* SHD_dynamic: disabled almost completely, there is no python/.
* KX_PythonInit.cpp and Ketsji/ build files: Mathutils is not there, disabled.
* text.c: clipboard copy call.
* object.c: OB_SUPPORT_MATERIAL.
* DerivedMesh.c and subsurf_ccg, stipple_quarttone.
Still to be done:
* Go over files and functions that were moved to a different location but could
still use changes that were done in trunk.
The only compilation system that works for sure is the MSVC project files. I've tried my best to
update the other compilation system but I count on the community to check and fix them.
This is Zdeno Miklas video texture plugin ported to trunk.
The original plugin API is maintained (can be found here http://home.scarlet.be/~tsi46445/blender/blendVideoTex.html)
EXCEPT for the following:
The module name is changed to VideoTexture (instead of blendVideoTex).
A new (and only) video source is now available: VideoFFmpeg()
You must pass 1 to 4 arguments when you create it (you can use named arguments):
VideoFFmpeg(file) : play a video file
VideoFFmpeg(file, capture, rate, width, height) : start a live video capture
file:
In the first form, file is a video file name, relative to startup directory.
It can also be a URL, FFmpeg will happily stream a video from a network source.
In the second form, file is empty or is a hint for the format of the video capture.
In Windows, file is ignored and should be empty or not specified.
In Linux, ffmpeg supports two types of device: VideoForLinux and DV1394.
The user specifies the type of device with the file parameter:
[<device_type>][:<standard>]
<device_type> : 'v4l' for VideoForLinux, 'dv1394' for DV1394; default to 'v4l'
<standard> : 'pal', 'secam' or 'ntsc', default to 'ntsc'
The driver name is constructed automatically from the device types:
v4l : /dev/video<capture>
dv1394: /dev/dv1394/<capture>
If you have different driver name, you can specify the driver name explicitely
instead of device type. Examples of valid file parameter:
/dev/v4l/video0:pal
/dev/ieee1394/1:ntsc
dv1394:ntsc
v4l:pal
:secam
capture:
Defines the index number of the capture source, starting from 0. The first capture device is always 0.
The VideoTexutre modules knows that you want to start a live video capture when you set this parameter to a number >= 0. Setting this parameter < 0 indicates a video file playback. Default value is -1.
rate:
the capture frame rate, by default 25 frames/sec
width:
height:
Width and height of the video capture in pixel, default value 0.
In Windows you must specify these values and they must fit with the capture device capability.
For example, if you have a webcam that can capture at 160x120, 320x240 or 640x480,
you must specify one of these couple of values or the opening of the video source will fail.
In Linux, default values are provided by the VideoForLinux driver if you don't specify width and height.
Simple example
**************
1. Texture definition script:
import VideoTexture
contr = GameLogic.getCurrentController()
obj = contr.getOwner()
if not hasattr(GameLogic, 'video'):
matID = VideoTexture.materialID(obj, 'MAVideoMat')
GameLogic.video = VideoTexture.Texture(obj, matID)
GameLogic.vidSrc = VideoTexture.VideoFFmpeg('trailer_400p.ogg')
# Streaming is also possible:
#GameLogic.vidSrc = VideoTexture.VideoFFmpeg('http://10.32.1.10/trailer_400p.ogg')
GameLogic.vidSrc.repeat = -1
# If the video dimensions are not a power of 2, scaling must be done before
# sending the texture to the GPU. This is done by default with gluScaleImage()
# but you can also use a faster, but less precise, scaling by setting scale
# to True. Best approach is to convert the video offline and set the dimensions right.
GameLogic.vidSrc.scale = True
# FFmpeg always delivers the video image upside down, so flipping is enabled automatically
#GameLogic.vidSrc.flip = True
if contr.getSensors()[0].isPositive():
GameLogic.video.source = GameLogic.vidSrc
GameLogic.vidSrc.play()
2. Texture refresh script:
obj = GameLogic.getCurrentController().getOwner()
if hasattr(GameLogic, 'video') != 0:
GameLogic.video.refresh(True)

Rename PHY_GetActiveScene() to KX_GetActiveScene(): more logical name
Add KX_GetActiveEngine()
new KX_KetsjiEngine::GetClockTime(void) to return current
render frame time: if the CPU does not keep up with the
frame rate, up to 5 consecutive logic frames are processed
between each render frame, so that the logic system stays
accurate even if the graphic system is slow. For the video
texture module, it is important to stay in sync with the
render frame: no need to update the texture for logic frame.
BL_Texture::swapTexture(): texture id manipulation
BL_Texture::getTex() : return material texture
Enable video support in ffmpeg for Linux.
* Debug text drawing didn't disable textures correct leaving
texture state invalid, quite old issue.
* Multitexture materials didn't get enabled correct, recent bug.
Both pointed out by José Ignacio Romero, thanks!
kept as the original file, but that can't work correct for solving
relative paths once a .blend in another directory is loaded. The
reason it went OK with the apricot tech demo is that the images there
were lib linked into the level file, which still worked.
Now it sets G.sce to the current loaded .blend file. Note that the
python config file path still uses the first loaded .blend file so it
looks in the same location each time.
Also added some NULL pointer checks in the joystick code because it
was crashing there on Mac, there's similar checks in related functions
so I'm assuming this was just a missed case.
add -nojoystick commandline option: it takes 5 seconds everytime to start the game engine, while there IS no joystick.
In other words: blender -noaudio -nojoystick improves workflow turnaround times for P - ESC from 7 seconds to 1 second!
Improved Bullet soft body advanced options, still work-in-progress. Make sure to create game Bullet soft bodies from scratch, it is not compatible with last weeks builds.

would useually not encourage prints in these cases, except its often useful to know if an error happened since you last pressed Pkey and without this you end up needing to manually clear the terminal.
