* Added Context access to RNA_property_as_string. This is needed for doing a Python call to the object mode set operator, which has a dynamic enum property that needs context.
Flaw in python UI for headers: code missing to correctly set the total
width of header, plus obsolete call in view3d header template to set width.
Now MMB scroll of view3d header works again.
* Sculpt Menu is now written in python.
* Select Menus are only for Object, Edit and Particle Mode, added code to check on that, fixed Console warnings.
* Fixed a typo in armature buttons, reported in IRC by "ebrain".
- use RNA_struct_blender_type_set to set the type to NULL before its freed
There is a memory error here when reloading scripts - ui_handler_panel_region, need to look into theis further.
* data reorganisation - uses own values now instead of reusing surface material properties (i.e. an individual density value, rather than reusing alpha) Files saved with the old system won't load up the same after this.
* improved defaults and ui
* Added OBJECT_OT_mode_set for setting the object mode. Takes one property, "mode", which can be any of the OB_MODE_* flags. The available modes are limited based on the active object (e.g. only meshes can have sculptmode, and so forth.)
* Set the icon properties in the object mode enum RNA
TODO:
At this point I think everything is ready to start ripping out the ugly hacks in view3d_header for setting the mode :)
- view3d use select menus use the context.mode enum value.
- if selectmenu in dir(bpy.types) # creates a list of 1400+ strings, does a lookup and throws them away, better avoid this for redrawing.
* Pose mode was already object-localized, but moved the flag from object->flag to object->mode, with all the other modes.
* Updated object mode RNA
* Commented out some dubious use of base->flag with the posemode flag. So far as I could see the value was only being set, not read, so a hopefully safe change.
Now the mute/protect/expand/etc. toggles are drawn using UI widgets. This means that special event handling code to determine when they were clicked on is no longer needed, and also means that there can now be tooltips for these items too.
Also, added visibility toggles for ID-block expanders, which will cause all the F-Curves in the linked datablock to not get drawn. The backend filtering code to make this work will come later...
* Made texture paint object-localized too.
Note for Brecht: gpu_draw.c had three uses of G_TEXTUREPAINT that I was not able to cleanly fix, so commented out for now. Can you take a look and see what should be done here?
* Weightpaint is now object-local like sculpt and vertexpaint.
* Fixed a bug spotted by DingTo, going from editmode to sculptmode didn't fully leave editmode
* Replaced FACESEL_PAINT_TEST macro with paint_facesel_test. This removes one more thing from BKE_global, and it'll make it easier to localize.
* Fixed sculpt paint cursor sometimes not showing.
Patch [#19031] (2.5) python menus for the view3d header
by Lorenzo Pierfederici (lento). Thanks!
* Added CTX_data_mode_string() to find out in which mode we're in.
* Added some "select" menus as a test.
This patch makes it basically possible to wrap the 3D View menus to python.
* Transparency is now it's own panel, with a boolean toggle
+ enum for z/ray transparency (following mockup made by
William). Also had to change DNA flags for this.
* Disabled radiosity a bit more in render engine, it still had
some effects like auto autosmooth.
* Make some sliders in material buttons percentages in RNA.
* Some other small tweaks in layout and naming.
* Made sculpt mode local to object.
* This also fixes loading files from 2.4x saved in sculptmode
Touched a lot of things here, let me know if anything breaks
TODO:
* The other paint modes should be converted as well
Implementation Note:
* Moved the scene copy/unlink code back into blenkernel, with
the exception of the copy single user stuff which is still in
object_edit.c.
* Uses SCREENDELETE notifier like SCREENBROWSE, seems only clean
way to do this now.
