Highlights:
* Support for Multi-Target Variables
This was the main reason for this recode. Previously, variables could only be used to give some RNA property used as an input source to the driver a name. However, this meant that effects such as Rotational Difference couldn't be used in conjunction with other effects and/or settings to achieve the powerful results. Now, a variable can take several input targets, perform some interesting operations on them, and spit out a representative value based on that.
* New Variable Types
With the introduction of multi-target variables, there are now 3 types of variable that can be used: single property (i.e. the only type previously), Rotational Difference (angle between two bones), and Distance (distance between two objects or bones).
* New Driver Types
In addition to the existing 'Average', 'Sum', and 'Expression' types, there is now the additional options of 'Minimum' and 'Maximum'. These take the smallest/largest value that one of the variables evaluates to.
* Fix for Driver F-Curve colouring bug
Newly added drivers did not get automatically coloured in the Graph Editor properly. Was caused by inappropriate notifiers being used.
Notes:
* This commit breaks existing 2.5 files with drivers (in other words, they are lost forever).
* Rigify has been corrected to work with the new system. The PyAPI for accessing targets used for the variables could still be made nicer (using subclassing to directly access?), but that is left for later.
* Version patching for 2.49 files still needs to be put back in place.
This changes how textures are accessed from Brushes, with the intention of simplifying
the workflow, and reducing the amount of clicking. Rather than the previous texture slots
(which didn't work as a stack anyway), brushes now have a single texture linked. Rather
than taking time having to set up your slots in advance, you can now select and change
textures directly as you sculpt/paint on the fly. For complex brushes, node textures can
be used, or for fast access, it's easy to make a duplicate of your brush with the texture
you like and assign a hotkey.
Brush textures can now be chosen from a new Textures panel in the brush tool
properties - click on the thumbnail to open a texture selector. This is done using a new
variation on the ID template - the number of rows and columns to display in the popup
can be customised in the UI scripts.
bpy.types.register(MacroClass)
instead of
bpy.ops.add_macro(MacroClass)
The rest is unchanged.
Also remove some now unused code for the old registration methods (there's still some remaining).
* Moved 'change shortcut' (previously directly RMB on menu items) to a context-menu item, and added Remove Shortcut and Add Shortcut. This is all available now in a RMB context menu for operator buttons and menu entries.
* Renamed a bunch of key maps to be consistent with UI names, and human-readable. Since these key map names are now being directly used in the UI for people to find things, they should be understandable and in plain language.
This renaming may break some older saved key map setups - though previously saved .b25.blends should convert over ok. Exported .py files may need some find/replacing - in this commit check the changes in resources.c to see what's changed.
introduced one in wmWindow.last_click_time. Moved this to the wmEvent
struct, which now no is in DNA, was needed for RNA wrapping but not
needed anymore.
Takes into account the hierarchical structures of keymaps as well as wildcards (KM_ANY) in event definitions, user remaps (emulate numpad, action/select mouse buttons, ...) and event values that overlap (click, press and release)
For now, doesn't do anything other than print conflicts in the console.
As a result, I cleaned up a lot of keymaps that had double definitions, moved some keymap items in more appropriate places, fixed wrong definitions and removed kmi that were added for testing a long long time ago.
Out of all the remaining conflicts, after removing obvious non-issues, here's what remains: http://www.pasteall.org/9898
- multiple pastes after copying
- clear the sound handle when copying (was crashing)
- allow seq freeing without a scene (assumes seq strip isnt active and sound handle isnt set)
- free clipboard sequences on exit
- paste sequence strips using the relative playhead location from when they were copied.
TODO
- check scene pointers on paste
- detect overlaps after paste
New unique ID per keymap item (unique inside their keymap) for default and configuration keymaps.
This allows restoring a single user defined kmi to its previous (default or config) values instead of having to restore the whole keymap.
The restore item button is disabled for kmi added by the users (they don't have an ID).
Also fixes a bug in the rna function for add keymap item (parameter order was incorrect, messing adding back saved configurations).
1) Double Click takes priority over a second Click (Click will still be send if not handled)
2) The first Click being handled doesn't stop the following Double Click
Revised external multires file saving. Now it is more manual in that you
have to specify where to save it, like an image file, but still saved at
the same time as the .blend. It would ideally be automatic, but this is
difficult to implement, so for now this should at least be more reliable.
* Added ANIM_list_elem_update and ANIM_id_update functions to call when
changing animation curves, which will then call the RNA property update
functions for those curves.
This is to replace just calling DAG_id_flush_update, that may not always
be the right thing to do, and doesn't send proper notifiers for redraw.
Still only used/usable when transforming in the graph editor, not sure
how this do this with NLA for example, .. needs to be improved.
* Added function wm_data_handle_update function to contain the object
update function, and also added scene animation update there. Actually
it should be doing all datablocks, this makes it work for sequencer.
Joshua, do you agree this is the right direction to go in? I can revert or
change the code if you think it should be done differently. Mainly wanted
to get this working well for sequencer now.
* Property update functions no longer get context, instead they get only
Main and Scene. The RNA api was intended to be as context-less as
possible, since it doesn't really matter who is changing the property,
everything that uses the property should be updated.
* There's still one exception case that use it now, screen operations
still depend on context too much. It also revealed a few places using
context where they shouldn't.
* Ideally Scene shouldn't be passed, but much of Blender still depends on
it, should be dropped when we try to support multiple scene editing.
Change was planned for a while, but need this now to be able to call
update without a context pointer.
* Sound strips now respect metastrips for muting. That means they
are muted if the metastrip is muted, and don't play when located
outside of the current metastrip.
* Operators now use notifiers instead of redraw tagging, added a
separate notifier for selection as well, but that is not used to
do less redraws yet.
Now, temp screens are hidden from being accessed directly, with a new 'Back to Previous' button appearing in place of the screen menu when (for example) fullscreen render image areas are present. Window type menus also get disabled here too, to prevent things from getting too mixed up.
