This is based on the current trunk version, so these files should not need
merges. There's two things (clipboard and intptr_t) that are missing in 2.50
and commented out with XXX 2.48, these can be enabled again once trunk is
merged into this branch.
Further this is not all interface code, there are many parts commented out:
* interface.c: nearly all button types, missing: links, chartab, keyevent.
* interface_draw.c: almost all code, with some small exceptions.
* interface_ops.c: this replaces ui_do_but and uiDoBlocks with two operators,
making it non-blocking.
* interface_regions: this is a part of interface.c, split off, contains code to
create regions for tooltips, menus, pupmenu (that one is crashing currently),
color chooser, basically regions with buttons which is fairly independent of
core interface code.
* interface_panel.c and interface_icons.c: not ported over, so no panels and
icons yet. Panels should probably become (free floating) regions?
* text.c: (formerly language.c) for drawing text and translation. this works
but is using bad globals still and could be cleaned up.
Header Files:
* ED_datafiles.h now has declarations for datatoc_ files, so those extern
declarations can be #included instead of repeated.
* The user interface code is in UI_interface.h and other UI_* files.
Core:
* The API for creating blocks, buttons, etc is nearly the same still. Blocks
are now created per region instead of per area.
* The code was made non-blocking, which means that any changes and redraws
should be possible while editing a button. That means though that we need
some sort of persistence even though the blender model is to recreate buttons
for each redraw. So when a new block is created, some matching happens to
find out which buttons correspond to buttons in the previously created block,
and for activated buttons some data is then copied over to the new button.
* Added UI_init/UI_init_userdef/UI_exit functions that should initialize code
in this module, instead of multiple function calls in the windowmanager.
* Removed most static/globals from interface.c.
* Removed UIafterfunc_ I don't think it's needed anymore, and not sure how it
would integrate here?
* Currently only full window redraws are used, this should become per region
and maybe per button later.
Operators:
* Events are currently handled through two operators: button activate and menu
handle. Operators may not be the best way to implement this, since there are
currently some issues with events being missed, but they can become a special
handler type instead, this should not be a big change.
* The button activate operator runs as long as a button is active, and will
handle all interaction with that button until the button is not activated
anymore. This means clicking, text editing, number dragging, opening menu
blocks, etc.
* Since this operator has to be non-blocking, the ui_do_but code needed to made
non-blocking. That means variables that were previously on the stack, now
need to be stored away in a struct such that they can be accessed again when
the operator receives more events.
* Additionally the place in the ui_do_but code indicated the state, now that
needs to be set explicit in order to handle the right events in the right
state. So an activated button can be in one of these states: init, highlight,
wait_flash, wait_release, wait_key_event, num_editing, text_editing,
text_selecting, block_open, exit.
* For each button type an ui_apply_but_* function has also been separated out
from ui_do_but. This makes it possible to continuously apply the button as
text is being typed for example, and there is an option in the code to enable
this. Since the code non-blocking and can deal with the button being deleted
even, it should be safe to do this.
* When editing text, dragging numbers, etc, the actual data (but->poin) is not
being edited, since that would mean data is being edited without correct
updates happening, while some other part of blender may be accessing that
data in the meantime. So data values, strings, vectors are written to a
temporary location and only flush in the apply function.
Regions:
* Menus, color chooser, tooltips etc all create screen level regions. Such menu
blocks give a handle to the button that creates it, which will contain the
results of the menu block once a MESSAGE event is received from that menu
block.
* For this type of menu block the coordinates used to be in window space. They
are still created that way and ui_positionblock still works with window
coordinates, but after that the block and buttons are brought back to region
coordinates since these are now contained in a region.
* The flush/overdraw frontbuffer drawing code was removed, the windowmanager
should have enough information with these screen level regions to have full
control over what gets drawn when and to then do correct compositing.
Testing:
* The header in the time space currently has some buttons to test the UI code.
* Added functions to generate Timer events. There was some unfinished code to
create one timer per window, this replaces that with a way to let operators
or other handlers add/remove their own timers as needed. This is currently
delivered as an event with the timer handle, perhaps this should be a notifier
instead? Also includes some fixes in ghost for timer events that were not
delivered in time, due to passing negative timeout.
* Added a Message event, which is a generic event that can be added by any
operator. This is used in the UI code to communicate the results of opened
blocks. Again, this may be better as a notifier.
* These two events should not be blocked as they are intended for a specific
operator or handler, so there were exceptions added for this, which is one
of the reasons they might work better as notifiers, but currently these
things can't listen to notifier yet.
* Added an option to events to indicate if the customdata should be freed or
not.
* Added a free() callback for area regions, and added a free function for
area regions in blenkernel since it was already there for screens and areas.
* Added ED_screen/area/region_exit functions to clean up things like operators
and handlers when they are closed.
* Added screen level regions, these will draw over areas boundaries, with the
last created region on top. These are useful for tooltips, menus, etc, and
are not saved to file. It's using the same ARegion struct as areas to avoid
code duplication, but perhaps that should be renamed then. Note that redraws
currently go correct, because only full window redraws are used, for partial
redraws without any frontbuffer drawing, the window manager needs to get
support for compositing subwindows.
* Minor changes in the subwindow code to retrieve the matrix, and moved
setlinestyle to glutil.c.
* Reversed argument order in WM_event_add/remove_keymap_handler to be consistent
with modal_handler.
* Operators can now block events but not necessarily cancel/finish.
* Modal operators are now stored in a list in the window/area/region they were
created in. This means for example that when a transform operator is invoked
from a region but registers a handler at the window level (since mouse motion
across areas should work), it will still get removed when the region is closed
while the operator is running.
size buffer if it's big enough, and otherwise allocate memory.
* Added BLI_dynstr_appendf() to construct strings easily in printf
style, this should make it easier to construct menu strings for
example.
This commit adds an exception for rotations (standard rotation and tracball) to still work on children of transformed objects and bones in an expected fashion. That is, you can select a chain of finger bones and rotate to flex them all at once.
Notes:
[1] This could be expended to other transformations if needed.
[2] Center of transformation is determined using the same principle as hinge bones (transformed children aren't taken into account)
* Fixed a stupid crash caused by last commit that worked fine on the mac
(but never should have...)
* Fix for using child particles with the new particle age color options
SeamBleed in perspective mode mostly working (some small artifacts but generally looks ok)
Added BarycentricWeightsPersp2f and BarycentricWeightsSimplePersp2f for getting weights from verts with perspective matrix applied.
* initializing a bucket only initializes pixels from that bucket (was initializing all pixels in intersecting faces before which made large faces slow to paint onto)
* removed scanline functions, they are not as useful when initializing small areas.
* UV seam checking also sets the seam flag on the adjacent face to avoid double lookups.
TODO - uv seam bleed doesn't work in perspective mode.
This introduces a few new ways of modifying the intensity and colour output
generated by the Point Density texture. Previously, the texture only output
intensity information, but now you can map it to colours along a gradient
ramp, based on information coming out of a particle system.
This lets you do things like colour a particle system based on the individual
particles' age - the main reason I need it is to fade particles out over time.
The colorband influences both the colour and intensity (using the colorband's
alpha value), which makes it easy to map a single point density texture to
both intensity values in the Map To panel (such as density or emit) and colour
values (such as absorb col or emit col). This is how the below examples are
set up, an example .blend file is available here:
http://mke3.net/blender/devel/rendering/volumetrics/pd_test4.blend
The different modes:
* Constant
No modifications to intensity or colour (pure white)
* Particle Age
Maps the color ramp along the particles' lifetimes:
http://mke3.net/blender/devel/rendering/volumetrics/pd_mod_partage.mov
* Particle Speed
Maps the color ramp to the particles' absolute speed per frame (in Blender
units). There's an additional scale parameter that you can use to bring this
speed into a 0.0 - 1.0 range, if your particles are travelling too faster or
slower than 0-1.
http://mke3.net/blender/devel/rendering/volumetrics/pd_mod_speed.mov
* Velocity -> RGB
Outputs the particle XYZ velocity vector as RGB colours. This may be useful
for comp work, or maybe in the future things like displacement. Again, there's
a scale parameter to control it.
http://mke3.net/blender/devel/rendering/volumetrics/pd_mod_velrgb.mov
First pass for retargetting template's renaming magic. For now, in new retargetted bone's name: %S (side) and %N (number) will be replaced by user defined strings.
Will need to experiment on how useful that is and how it could be better.
* merge the recent scons changes from trunk, so this means that the same rules now apply:
- scons-local available
- platform default configs updated
- check your user-config.py if you have made a full copy of default config
Note: BGE and blenderplayer still not working, but that is normal ;) (so turn them off!)
Modified to work in linux too, on my system subprocess.Popen(appstring) only works when appstring is a list.
Blenders __import__ didnt support keywords like pythons causing the subprocess module to fail for me.
added keywords to blenders c/api import to match pythons.
You can specify a image name (starting with 'IM') instead of a material
name in VideoTexture.materialID() and return the material ID matching
this texture.
The advantage of this method is that is works with blender material
and UV texture. In case of UV texture, it grabs the internal material
corresponding to the faces that are assigned to this texture. In case
of blender material, it grabs the material that has an image texture
matching the name as first texture channel.
In both cases, the texture id used in VideoTexture.Texture() should be 0.
Ex:
matID = VideoTexture.materialID(obj,'IMvideo.png')
GameLogic.video = VideoTexture.Texture(obj, matID, 0)
* Added more error prints for wrong definitions, for cases that
would laters cause problems compiling or crash at runtime, and
also made messages more clear.
* Added some skeleton code for main/ID/mesh/vertex types for testing.
* Added support for automatic arrays as collections using SDNA.
* Changed how pointers to data work. Now they are always wrapped
in a PointerRNA struct, which contains the data pointer and type,
and also the data pointer and type of the ID datablock that this
belongs to, since for example a vertex on it's own may not have
enough information for some operations, it also needs the mesh.
* Added some code for defining dependencies with RNA, and looking up
data with paths like: scenes[0].objects["Cube"].data.verts[7].co.
Note sure either will end up being used, this is experimental.

The problem is that the audio_fill_seq function try to load the hd file
if the sequence don't have it, but it join the two string (directory path +
file path) without the / (Linux... \ Windows), so the result is a wrong path.
I change the the strncpy and strncat function for a BLI_join_dirfile (like
the reload_sequence_new_file) and all work fine now.
Also note that the "them go" that Luca report is (or what happen here) the
ctrl+z function, and now both case work fine here.

The FFmpeg library allows to load image files. Although it is possible
to load images using the VideoFFmpeg class, it is not very efficient.
The new class VideoTexture.ImageFFmpeg is dedicated to image management.
Constructor:
-----------
VideoTexture.ImageFFmpeg('image_file_name')
Opens the file but does not load the texture yet.
The file name can also be a network address. It can also be a video
file name; in that case only the first image is loaded.
Methods:
-------
refresh(True)
Loads the image to texture.
You just need to call it once, the file is automatically closed after
that and calling refresh() again will have no effect.
reload('new_file_name')
Reloads the image (if new_file_name is omitted) or loads a new image.
The file is opened but the texture is not updated yet, you need
to call refresh() once to load the texture.
Attributes:
----------
status
returns the image status:
2 : file opened, texture not loaded
3 : file closed, texture loaded
image
returns the image data as a string of RGBA pixel
size
returns the image size [x,y]
scale
get/set the scale flag.
If the scale flag is False, the image is rescale to texture format
using gluScaleImage() function, slow but good quality.
If the scale flag is True, the image is rescaled using a fast but
less accurate algorithm.
flip
get/set Y-flip flag.
Set to True by default as FFmpeg always provides the image upside down
filter
get/set filter(s) on the image.
Example:
Moving stuff home, saving doesn't work ok yet, will finish this later today, demo video when done.
Also a couple of bug fixes for crashing and some text reformulation and the like.
somehow scripts line endings change is messing things up, these changes wont be included
error is:
svn: File 'release/scripts/scripttemplate_metaball_create.py' has inconsistent newlines
svn: Inconsistent line ending style
svn: Error reading spooled REPORT request response
todo...
* pixel interpolation.
* clone option can currently only be set from the image paint panel.
* only initialize clone pixels under the mouse.
* overlap between source/target while painting could cause problems. need to look into this.
also fixed some cashes in painting normally.
