* Rotation/Scaling now use the correct center-point. The helpline is now drawn correctly too for this
* For Rotation in UV/IPO editors, constraints are now disabled as they didn't make sense
This patch adds prefetch buffering to the sequencer
(see the tracker for additional details:
https://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&aid=7307&group_id=9&atid=127
)
We create seperate render threads (currently one, because of the fact,
that sequence rendering modifies global structures...), that
render up to the defined userpref value "Prefetch frames" in advance.
(Pressing Alt-A will _first_ fill the buffer and then start playing.)
Bassam and I did some extensive testing, so it should work.
If you don't configure your number of prefetch frames, prefetching is disabled!
(Sane defaults... :)
Also: if the machine is definitely too slow and runs out of the prefetch
area, prefetching is disabled automatically and we are back to good old
frame skipping mode.
My Dual Athlon is able to handle 4 parallel DV streams at once (sometimes
a little bit choppy, but prefetching is never disabled!)
I fixed also a long standing bug in the audio code, that made playback run
backwards at the beginning...
As with the Action and NLA editors, I've refactored the transform code for the IPO editor to get rid of the special (and clunky) transform loop that had been created. The approach this time is closer to the one taken for the UV/Image editor.
What's New/Will-be-possible-in-the-future:
* Numeric input now works for the IPO editor
* Proportional Edit support for the IPO editor will eventually be added.
* Rotation (hopefully), once some hotkeys have been remapped
Known Problems:
* If a keyframe moves past neighbouring keyframes and the transform gets cancelled, it doesn't get restored correctly. This problem is quite icky to resolve (I've got a large hack for this, but that currently segfaults randomly).
* When scaling, the dashed-line (helpline) is drawn from the wrong starting co-ordinates. This does not affect the actual scaling though
* Trying to scale BezTriples with autohandles still doesn't work if either of the handles haven't been transformed yet. This behaviour was already present prior to this commit.
work for same results.
- UV Stitch with the V key was not working (as stated in the menu)
- Rotate UV's and Colors now have an option for CCW (was in the menu
but not implimented)
- Draw face dot in UV when in face mode
For transform in UV/Image editor (and soon, the IPO editor), transformations on 'local' axes (i.e. GXX, or GYY) won't work. Therefore, I've disabled this for those cases.
Note: A small part of the IPO editor transform-code port is in this commit too.
EditVert had "float *fp" while the others had "float p".
changed to "float p" and made all code using the float pointer use the already existing tmp.p (void*) instead.
Now there's an option for the owner to follow the path of the target cyclically. Previously, if the owner moved past the extents of the side of the bounding-box used for the calculations, the object was placed on the curve at the nearest extent.
This option is only really useful if the curve itself is cyclic, although you can still use it otherwise. To enable, just turn on the cyclic option.
This commit fixes several bugs related to animating armatures. I've also tidied up the formatting in a few files along the way, and also commented the flags for this pose->flag.
What's new/fixed:
* Undo will no longer destroy entire un-keyframed poses. Now it behaves as expected, and only reverses the most recent change.
* On some files, POSE_DO_UNLOCK somehow got set on files and never cleared. The symptom of this was a file in which you suddenly could no longer pose an armature at all without using auto-keyframing. A check to prevent this from happening again has been added (it will also fix old files too)
Notes:
- Now, all PoseChannels get tagged with BONE_UNKEYED after they have been transformed. This flag prevents IPO data being flushed over these new values, even after undo.
- These tags only get removed on frame-changes or inserting new keyframes.
Added some features to the NLA Editor that had previously only been added for the Action Editor.
* It is now possible to choose whether timing is displayed in Frames or Seconds like in many of the other Animation Editors. Use Ctrl-T or the View menu to change this.
* Autosnap behaviour from Action Editor is now also available for the NLA Editor. It was partially done in the previous commit (for transform). Use the new combo-box on the NLA Editor header (like the one on the Action Editor header) to set this.
* editaction.c: silenced a compiler warning from the previous commit related to a function which is no longer needed.
I've refactored the Action and NLA Editor Transform tools to use the Transform System instead of setting up their own transform loops. This should have happened ages ago, but no-one got around to doing so.
* There are still a few bugs left to iron out of a few features, but on the whole it should work as well as it used to. These are: the values which get displayed when working with NLA-scaled actions may not all be correct yet; and the Time-Slide tool in the Action Editor is currently kindof broken.
* One of the main benefits of this work, is that it is now possible to use Numeric Input during Transforms.
* Also, a bug that meant that it was not possible to negatively scale keyframes in the Action Editor has been resolved.
popup menu - more manageable when you've got a lot of scenes.
Also changed an error message from using a popup menu to the proper
error() function with icon etc.
this bug is in 2.45 but can work around by setting it manually

changed how draw modes work - when displaying textured meshes in editmode, only draw selected edges when "Edge Draw" is not enabled. this makes it easy to see the texture/mapping without edges getting in the way.
This means editmode can draw like UV/Face mode did when "Draw Edges" was disabled.
Also made the active vert/edge/face color themeable, still need to set the default to somthing other then pink.
transform manipulator was shown in sculpt mode which is inconsistant sicne G key dosnt work and other painting modes have this disabled. - thanks theeth for finding this.
Changed some of the retopo functions to use doubles instead of shorts; this makes the transformation more accurate if the view is zoomed out far enough to have multiple vertices appear at the same pixel location.
(functionality from recently removed python script: uvcalc_from_adjacent.py)
This is useful when adding faces in areas that are alredy UV mapped, this can be used to snap the selected face to the existing face's UV's.
using the last selected face was almost good enough however when selecting verts and edges the last selected face would become inactive and the space image would flicker about too much.
The active face is used for getting the space image at the moment and keeps scripts that use this flag working also.
This has 2 commands to get and set, so the variable is not accessed directly.
all "UV Calculate" scripts work now
last commit crashed when in solid draw mode, it seems subsurf modifier is ignoring the displayMask since MTFACE is available. just made it do a null check for now.
uvcalc_follow_active_coords.py - should be done inC and put in the snap menu.
this is really slow, its unuseable on suzanne subdivided twice on my computer with 2.45 and trunk, this could be sped up however it would need to be subsurf spesific.
Changed how the sticky setting is stored in DNA - (as a char rather then 2 flags).
replaced the UV/FACE icon with another needed for the sticky menu.
removed 2 unused icons.
commented the UV transform panel since it only had 2 buttons in it.
depgraph update calls needed to be added to Ctrl+V/E/F menu's because some commands were crashing.
Bumped the subversion to 2, so the default aspect is set to 1:1.
Made "Repeat Image" option time image drawing and bail out early if its taking too long. (quater of a sec max) this could be avoided if the texture was drawn on a quad, but that wouldnt support other image draw options.
This is a good short term solution because it was possibly to lock up blender if you zoomed out a long way then enabled "Repeat Image".
