* Objects now support up to 32767 material slots. It's easy to
increase this further, but I prefer not to increase the memory
usage of mesh faces, it seems unlikely that someone would
create 32767 distinct materials?
* Forward compatibility: the only thing you can potentially lose
reading a 2.5 file in 2.4 is object linking (instead of default
data), though usually that will go fine too. Reading files with
> 32 material slots in 2.4 can start giving issues.
* The ob->colbits variable is deprecated by the array ob->matbits
but I didn't remove the ob->colbits updates in very few places
it is set.
* I hope I changed all the relevant things, various places just
hardcoded the number 16 instead of using the MAXMAT define.
* Join Objects operator back. This is using the version from the
animsys2 branch coded by Joshua, which means it now supports
joining of shape keys.
* Fix for crash reading file saved during render.
* Text window font size now supports full range 8-32, instead of
just 12 and 15. I added BLF_fixed_width to get the character
width of a fixed size font.
* Buttons do undo push on change again.
* Animated/Keyframe/Driver colors are now themable, with blend
value to blend with original color. Set this to 0.5 now to
give colors less constrast.
* Fix tooltip popping up with RMB menu open, and missing redraw.
* Autokeyframe now works for buttons.
* Driver expressions can be edited in place in a button now.
(still some refresh issues).
* Also made python driver default for the Add Driver function
in the RMB button. This way you don't have to open a Graph
editor if you just want to type an expression. Also, the
default expression then is the current value.
* Tooltips now show some extra info, not sure what is good to
have, but currently I added:
* Shortcut key for operator buttons.
* Python struct & property name for RNA buttons.
* Expression for driven values.
* Value for text/search/pointer buttons.
Made transform confirm or cancel on mouse up. More inline with button clicking and better for tablets.
Add operator params to make sure Rip and Extrude turn off PET and Mirror correctly.
Note: sorry for all the whitespace changes, I need to reconfigure this editor not to do autocleanup.
* Code to start moving 3D view header and panels to python, at
the moment the View menu and one empty panel is in python. The
C header code is wrapped in one template, so parts of that can
be moved over while still keeping things working.
* Fix for mistake in RNA enum commit yesterday, and some warning
fixes.
* Move Up/Down and Delete are now operators
* Made TrackTo constraint use expanded enum toggles for up axis too.
--> BUG ALERT: specifying name and expand in the arguments to itemR doesn't work (name gets skipped)
* Enums can now be dynamically created in the _itemf callback,
using RNA_enum_item(s)_add, RNA_enum_item_end. All places asking
for enum items now need to potentially free the items.
* This callback now also gets context, this was added specifically
for operators. This doesn't fit design well at all, needed to do
some ugly hacks, but can't find a good solution at the moment.
* All enums must have a default list of items too, even with an
_itemf callback, for docs and fallback in case there is no context.
* Used by MESH_OT_merge, MESH_OT_select_similar, TFM_OT_select_orientation.
* Also changes some operator properties that were enums to booleas
(unselected, deselect), to make them consistent with other ops.
I've gone through all the Animation Editor operators, making sure they send appropriate notifiers, and that these notifiers are handled.
* Added a separate category for animation-related notifiers, since the old-style ones attached to specific datatypes only was turning out to be not too feasible.
* For now, the focus has been on making sure that all Animation Editors update when there have been any potentially suitable changes at all. Later on, we can filter these more carefully to only take the ones we really need (for optimisation purposes)
* Renamed the 'blend' blending mode to 'replace', since that's what it usually does
* Drawing a darkened rect behind the keyframes shown in the action line
--
* Fixed typo made last night which broke compiling
* Consolidated all the keyframe-shape drawing code to use a single codebase. Even if we don't ultimately go with OpenGL keyframes, there's always a tidy option for that now.
Monthly cleaning round to make it compile warning free.
Mostly it was const stuff (strings, Context), but also
a couple useful fixes, like wrong use of temp pointers.
Only Mathutils callback struct I left alone... design issue.
* Removed the glaMapping stuff in favour of remapping the keyframes manually. The old code was causing some mess, and not really working well for the DopeSheet with various mappings being used.
* Fixed NLA-mapped selection in DopeSheet. Clicking on individual keyframes should now work ok. More testing required though.
* Keyframes in DopeSheet are now drawn fully using OpenGL (instead of icons). They look less tactile now, but this may be compensated with in terms of speed? Previously I disabled this type of drawing due to issues with some cards. Enabled again for now, but mainly because I couldn't get the icons to line up nicely in screenspace...
* Borderselect in DopeSheet. I've had a look at issues with it selecting the wrong channel's keyframes. The issues don't seem to be solved yet though... will look again tomorrow.
It's just a straight application of the normal operator for now, none of the normal manipulator goodies yet (no draw code and you have to click to confirm).
* 3D view Mesh menu works again, but incomplete.
* Add Properties and Toolbar to 3D View menu.
* Added "specials" menus back, vertex/edge/face and general.
* Various fixes in existing mesh operators, some were not working.
* Add MESH_OT_merge.
* Merge all subdivide ops into MESH_OT_subdivide, subdivide code
changes to make smooth + multi give good results.
* Rename all select inverse ops to *_OT_select_inverse.
* Fix "search for unknown operator" prints at startup, and some
warnings in py code.
* Don't run .pyc files on startup.
* Remove unused image window header C code.
* Rename BIF_transform/retopo.h to ED_transform/retopo.h
for consistency.
* Move MESH_OT_duplicate_add to editmesh_add.c.
* Remove some code from BIF_gl.h which is not needed there
anymore.
* Context panel now draws without header, with arrows, no scene name.
* Softbody vertex group search popup.
* Improve names for autogenerated shortcut keys in menus.
* Make most Select menus in the 3D view header work.
* Fix armature border select selection syncing.
* Add POSE_OT_select_constraint_target,
MESH_OT_select_by_number_vertices, MESH_OT_select_vertex_path.
* Merge mesh select similar into one operator.
* Don't give MESH_OT_select_random Space hotkey.
* Add DAG_object_flush_update to many mesh edit tools, not calling this
will crash with modifiers.
* RNA_def_enum_funcs for dynamic enums in operators, but not very useful
without context yet.
* Fix refresh issue with image window header + editmode.
* Fix drawing of shadow mesh for image painting.
* Remove deprecated uiDefMenuButO and uiDefMenuSep functions.
* Remove keyval.c, code is in wm_keymap.c already.
* Rename WM_operator_redo to WM_operator_props_popup.
Brought back the basics for transform manipulators. Martin will
hook it all up to new transform system.
Some notes:
- Still uses G.moving
- BIF_do_manipulator() is called as a View3D Operator
I've tested selecting handles, added a print to confirm
- BIF_GetTransInfo() returns a dummy struct now, just to get
it running.
- Marked some other issues with XXX
* Text labels on NLA-Strips should now draw properly for most short-strips now. Previously, the padding on the text was a bit too extreme, so for very short strips (less than 4 frames or so), the text was often pushed down into the bottom-right corner of view.
* Optimised the keyframe-highlighting code for buttons a bit. Replaced the custom linear-search with the binary-search used when inserting keyframes (and for the 3d-view keyframe-indicator). There should be some theoretical improvements due to this at least...
* These settings can now be edited + keyframed (using IKEY over the button only for now... other cases will fail)
* Reshuffled some of the keyframing code to make this sort of thing easier to do. Also, restored corrections for NLA-mapping when inserting/removing keyframes.
TODOS:
* animation editors don't show these keyframes yet
* the buttons don't change colour yet to reflect this state. How to do this efficiently?
* allow keyframing of these in more places
* more robust UI handling for this.
Animations can now be played back in reverse, by clicking on the reversed-playback button in the TimeLine header beside the play button (NEW ICON NEEDED HERE).
I'm not sure how well this works with sound, but from what I gather, this can be quite useful for animators to use.
* Previous/Next Folder browser
* bugfix: "open most recently opened directory".
* Previous and Next functionalities:
- use BACKSPACE to navigate to previous folders
- use SHIFT+BACKSPACE to navigate forward
- once you change the folder by other ways the forward folder list is cleared
* bug fix: the sfile->params->dir set through ED_fileselect_set_params wasn't correct. According to the code taking the settings from the existing (previous) filebrowser is a temp solution. In that case this is a fix for a temp solution :)
(changes in: wm_event_system.c, filesel.c and ED_fileselect.h)
** Andrea(elubie): we can get away of the folderlist_clear_next test if we manually pass a boolean to file_change_dir (e.g. file_change_dir(sfile, true)). I tried not to mess up with your changes here. It's slightly slower (and maybe hacky) but its's more conservative IMHO.
(my first commit to 2.5 ... that was a good reason to put my paper on hold :p)
Recoded the Transform code for NLA-Strips so that they can now be moved between strips and will not get truncated when they get moved into other non-moving strips.
Todos:
* The current code for moving strips between tracks is buggy (only goes up, and has a tendency to move up without being told to)
* Auto-snapping doesn't work yet...
* Lattices: properties editable, editmode operators, menus working
again. As a bonus you can now edit u/v/w in editmode.
* Shape Keys: some code cleanup, and added more buttons. The
value/min/max buttons don't work correct yet though.
* Fix issue with uv textures, vertex colors not being visible outside
editmode, and a few other issue. Mesh.edit_mesh is now NULL when
not in editmode.
More scroller work:
- Added subtle arrow widgets to denote a scroller can zoom the view.
- Made zoom symmetric (old convention to only zoom "one side" just
worked badly)
* Made NLA Editing functions more aware of transitions.
- A transition can only be added between a pair of action-clips. Previous, two transitions could be added next to each other, which has undefined behaviour
- Deleting a strip with transition(s) on either side will remove the transitions too. Feedback welcome on this
- The 'type' setting for NLA-Strips is no longer editable. This was dangerous as it could result in transitions with undefined behaviour (though nothing would happen).
* Menus for adding F-Modifiers now only show relevant modifiers (i.e. 'Invalid' is not included in the list, and 'Cycles' doesn't need to be shown for NLA since we've got repeat)
* Function Generator and Noise F-Modifiers now have complete GUI's. A few settings were missed during the porting process.
* F-Modifier buttons now have their source-ID's included in the RNA Pointers used. This didn't get them animateable directly, but is a step closer.
All kinds of changes to get it ready for UI layouts. This means RNA
and operators should be working correct, but most buttons are still
not actually there yet.
* Added near empty soft body, fluid, field and collision panels,
tweaks to cloth panels.
* Fluid bake works, but without escape or showing any progress.
* Fluid/Softbody/Cloth/Collision can now be both added as modifiers
or in the physics panels.
* Missing: fields & soft body for particles.
* Missing: proper updating softbodies, guess this code still needs
updates after pointcache refactor?
Cleanup of scroller drawing in 2D windows.
Before:
http://download.blender.org/institute/rt11.jpg
After:
http://download.blender.org/institute/rt12.jpg
Will add 'zoom' widget circles later, as mockupped here:
http://www.reynish.com/files/blender25/fcurve_scrollbar.png
Also note the scale values are inside scroller; drawing it
on top conflicts with current frame item and markers.
Currently scroller disappear entirely when view is total.
For Joshua:
To make sliders behave nicely, the boundbox (v2d->tot) has to
be refreshed on each change. I've added it in graph drawing
now, but it could be notifier based I guess... not sure what
the correct anim api call would be. Can discuss tomorrow!
On todo:
Layout config hints so people can make scroller positions swap.
* Most of the F-Modifiers have been ported to use the layout engine + RNA for drawing their buttons now. This plays much nicer with various button-layouts.
--> As a nice demo, try adding a Noise Modifier to a NLA-strip, and change the 'size' setting to about 2 to see some effects.
* Generator and Envelope modifiers haven't been ported yet since they're quite complex (requiring more time + energy), and as such, have been made to have some temporary error prints instead. Will check on this tomorrow.
* Finished/cleaned up the RNA-wrapping of most FModifiers.
TODO's (help requested... Brecht?):
Generator modifier's UI cannot be wrapped yet using the layout engine (though I might try using the old system only), as I'm having some trouble wrapping the coefficients array for this (see rna_fcurve.c - rna_def_fmodifier_generator())
* Using the Ctrl-Shift-M hotkey, F-Modifiers can be added to all the selected strips.
* F-Modifiers can also be added/tweaked from the NLA N-Key properties. The UI now uses the same code as for the graph editor ones.
The UI drawing here is currently messed up from the NLA side, since it seems combining normal layout stuff and old-style uiBlocks doesn't seem to work too well (BUT! the buttons are at least functional).
Next up, I'll need to recode the buttons panel for the Graph Editor so that all of the drawing can be migrated over to use the new layout engine.
* F-Modifier UI drawing/handling is now defined in a separate file so that it will be more suitable for inclusion into the NLA Editor's buttons.
* Started removing F-Curve dependence from the modifier drawing code, which wasn't strictly necessary
* Fixed F-Curve RNA wrapping to correctly use FPoints instead of the bulkier BPoints. Although nobody was likely to have encountered bugs here yet, this would almost certainly have contributed to some segfaults/data corruption along the track.
RNA
* Added the relevant active_*_index properties, with proper
get/set/range, updates and notifiers.
* Context.tool_settings.
* ToolSettings.vertex_group_weight.
Operators
* MESH_OT_uv_texture_add/remove
* MESH_OT_vertex_color_add/remove
* MESH_OT_sticky_add/remove
* OBJECT_OT_vertex_group_add/remove/assign/remove_from/
select/deselect/copy/copy_to_linked
* OBJECT_OT_shape_key_add/remove
UI
* Some updates and cleanups in list template code.
Known issue: when going in & out of editmode, uv textures and vertex
colors dissappear. I thought me->edit_mesh would be NULL when not in
edit mode but it is not?
Image Window
* Unpack operator now works.
* Some small layout code tweaks.
Info Window Header
* Moved to python UI code.
* template_running_jobs, template_operator_search added.
* Ported external data operators: pack/unpack all, make
paths relative/absolute, find/report missing files.
Also
* Report RPT_INFO too, not only warnings and errors.
* Run UI handle functions after RNA and Operators.
* Rename particle system add/remove operators, to not
include "slot", that's only there for materials because
that's what they are called now in RNA.
* start of filebrowser RNA
* system files, bookmarks, etc. now nicely inside panels to allow collapsing etc.
* filebrowser header now defined in space_filebrowser.py
TODO:
* button type for bookmarks etc. not final yet, at least should get centered still. Suggestions welcome here.
Search Menu: added feature that on opening, it shows the
current ID block, and selects it. Same can be used for other
searches, just pass on pointer to active item for the search
callback.
Also fixed arrow triangle draw for search.
* Search popup + autocomplete for bones, vertex groups, etc. This
is done with layout.item_pointerR, specifying an RNA collection to
take the items from. Used by constraints and modifiers.
* Some tests with the List template, ignore those for now..
Part one (of probably many :) of Operator review/validation.
Nothing final nor defined, it's reseach :)
- Added tool buttons in "Toolbar" (Tkey). Just four examples
for objectmode, and six for mesh editmode.
(Review in progress is operator internal state vs context, what
do redo exactly, undo vs redo syncing, when op->invoke or not,
etc. This has to be pinned down exactly and frozen asap)
- On undo, clear redo-operator-stack for now (won't work)
- Added call to better detect active/current view3d region.
ED_view3d_context_rv3d(C)
- Fixed some operators that missed correct redo (add-prim etc).
Later more fun!
Rendering preview icons is back!
Note for Andrea: the render code has been decoupled from
drawing, it needs Scene context to be able to run...
At the moment only the search menu calls the new render
code (which is the ID browse menu default anyway)
check Save Image or Export PLY operator for example.
Also these code changes:
* Added some RNA collection iterator macros to simplify code.
* Fix bpy.props.BoolProperty not working correct.
* Merge uiDefAutoButsRNA/uiDefAutoButsRNA_single into one.
* Added SCROLL button type, use like a NUMSLI basically, with
a1 used to define the scroller size.
* Add scroll and toggle colors to the Theme (toggle was set to
draw like radio in a recent commit, but it's the intention
these look different).
* Added rudimentary list template, used for object material
slots, this is WIP though.
* In popup menu, split text with line breaks over multiple
lines, makes python errors display slightly nicer.
