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)
Now this will return True
isinstance(bpy.data.meshes[0], bpy.types.Mesh)
Use the StructRNA identifier for the new classes name properties because classes were being named by the data names rather then the type names.
Set the __module__ for the new type which makes printing the class not use the script name where the type is first initialized.
eg: bpy.types.Mesh instead of buttons_object.Mesh
This still isnt quite right since opertators and panels all get their own type, when they should all use an operator type.
* 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.
* Weight paint: brush strength was changed to both define weight
and strength, this can't work, made them separate buttons.
* Allow adding particle system as modifier (fix crash).
* 3D view modal ops (zoom ..) could not be ended when invoked
from a button.
* Fix some warnings.
* Fix spelling in particle RNA property.
* Fix poll() callback changes in recent commit, note that these have
to work with pinned context too.
* Hide header for context panels in py layout.
* Don't jump back when collapsing a panel, allow the view to be
over some empty space until you scroll back.
* Fix follow context icon, order had to be reversed in icon file.
* ID template now has icon as part of browse button instead of
outside the buttons.
* Pass on mouse location on window leave/enter too, fixing some
issues with button highlights and tooltips.
* When a modal operator runs, grab the mouse cursor so that for
example transform still works when you move your mouse outside
of the window, previously it would just stop then. This is
automatic now for all modal ops, perhaps not always needed?
* Fix for a trailing button highlight issue.
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.
Bad bad DNA errors! People should really check on warning prints for
compiling dna dir...
- SpaceFile: ListBase* prev; <- dna doesnt recognize this
- wmEvent: const variables were not supported yet.
The first I fixed, 2nd I added support for in makesdna.
Note that files saved between tuesday july 7 and now can be corrupted!
* 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...
* base was referenced before NULL check
* ob wasn't checked for NULL
Still broken: Add Mesh doesn't seem to work in Object Mode.
But now it doesn't crash anymore...
* When influence/time for NLA-strips are animated, settings in the other panels which used to control these are now greyed out to show that they won't have any impact over the result.
* NKey panel for Graph Editor now opens on Right-Hand Side, just like for NLA Editor. The small sub-region above the Channels region was too troublesome to work with.
* 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.
NOTE: transition strips can only be added between two selected action-clips that have a gap (but no other strips) between them, and are in the same track.
- Scrollers now only disappear for regions with a fixed total view, like
lists, buttons, channels. More or less infinite views keep scrollers to
indicate that you can still pan or zoom further.
- Nodes: put back SHIFT+D "Add duplicate"
(Also fixed duplicate objects menu name... it should be a bit more
descriptive)
F-Modifiers now work on 'all' types of NLA Strip. To get them working on Meta-strips, F-Modifiers on the Meta strip must be applied on top of those for child strips. For now, this is done by joining the lists of modifiers, and evaluating the joined list.
Currently, Transitions don't work that great with F-Modifiers yet (only the endpoints get evaluated with the F-Modifiers). Solving this is for another time...
Previously, the quick-hack I coded for Meta-strips evaluation didn't really take into account the possibilities to use Meta-Strips as strips in their own right - i.e. reversed, muted, time-mapping-curves, influence-blending - were all unavailable.
This commit makes the aforementioned capabilities of other strips available for Meta-Strips too. The evaluation is now kind-of recursive (as with most of the other methods which take them into account) so that each 'level' of strips get evaluated correctly within their frame-of-reference.
TODO:
* F-Modifier support for Metas...
Strip-sorting code was buggy, as it was trying to access an invalid pointer, so the call to sort strips after transform was temporarily disabled in previous commits.
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)
This commit is quite experimental, and might have to be reverted, but in quite a few places, the cleanups from this commit were already necessary.
* I've left most of the image-handling functions alone, since I'm not sure how well they cope with negative indices.
* Start/End frames cannot be negative for now... any specific reasons why they should be negative?
* The code to move strips between tracks now works (though it can still be a bit too eager to change tracks half-way through some transforms).
Strips are moved up/down one strip at a time, depending on whether there is any space in the next-track in the direction you direct it to move in.
* Auto-snapping works again. Also enabled snap-to-marker option for Graph Editor here.
