- a major redo of the Bone module
- BPy_Bone structs are separated into Bone data and python vars. This is necessary for the correct memory allocation of bone data between python and the global armature list.
a checked error but is no good anyway
- Bone_dealloc free'd Blender's actual copy of the Bone! AGH!!!!
- On syntax errors the python global dictionary was being free'd
twice. AGH!!! again!
Can someone from the Python team please audit this.
ID_asPyObject and ID_getScriptlinks functions,
moved code into BPY_interface.c (where it fit better)
- EXPP_interface.c is essentially obselete now
- I didn't test this, I'm sure I broke something, if a Pythonista
could comment that would be nice (oh and the maintainer too).
Testing has not convinced me this is a complete solution to the
Ipo Curve handle issue, but it does seem to make things
better for curves created via python. We will probably need to revisit
this, especially if we expose the curve handles in the bpy interface.
-- epydoc Documentation for eeshlo's Noise module + small typo fix in Noise.c
-- BPY_end_python closes .blend file opened by Library module when script doesn't do it by itself.
- added some constants for the rendering module to blender module
- moved rendering functions from scene to scene.render
- rendering functions called from renderData struct instead of from scene directly
- getRenderingContext() returns rendering data struct
- deprecation of old scene functions
- some formatting/documentation of code
- New module + doc: Blender.Library:
It's like File->Append, loads datablocks from .blend files.
- small updates to fix warnings and accomodate for the new module, in readfile.[ch]
- New Blender.sys module function: time, a wrapper of the PIL get time function.
- Updated original makefile and scons builds.
- fixed two warnings, unused var in Object.c and undeclared function in script.c
- updated Blender.Draw doc, it was missing info about Button object
- refactored pytype initialization to try to fix for once platform (and distro!) specific crashes on startup. This asked for tiny updates in Effect.[ch] (removed static from declaration, moved definitions to the .c file) and modules.h
- fixed error I made trying to fix scripts w/ no [eol] char in menus. Thanks Michael Velikanje for reporting the problem!
- Michel's linux test builds with Python 2.3.x were crashing. This of course shouldn't happen even when Python isn't installed in the system. The problem was much probably some uninitialized internal type needed by the Mathutils module and the "fix" is stupid.
Moving the registration of Mathutils module in Blender.c to the end of the list solves the crash here.
- Scripts that ended without an [eol] (end of line char) would give syntax errors when called from menus.
Now all loaded menu scripts have '\\n\\0' appended to them, not only '\\0' as before.
- bug #1146: Kester reported a Valgrind warning, should be fixed now.
-ability to set poses for the armatures - allows for keyframing armatures
-adds support for actions/actionchannels
-additional checking for addBone and clear parenting
-moved getActionIpos from object module to NLA module
- update to addBone parenting transform code
- hide/unhide bones
- draw axes/draw names
- clear parenting and clear children from bones - removes childbase links from bone and set as root or remove parenting and set as root
(excuse me for doing all in a single commit, but they are tiny
fixes and it's bpython, that dark corner ...)
#1025 - FileSelector SEGV on dynamic callback Category:
Can't reproduce with current cvs, I'd say recent changes to fix
another crash related to FileSelector in gui-less scripts solved this
one, too.
#1028 - Reserved button event number:
Menu choices generate two events, one extra related to the menu
itself, with value=4. Made bpython ignore this extra event.
#1068 - FileSelector No file extension support:
As Ton wrote there, Blender itself doesn't support this yet. But the
requester also wanted Window.File/ImageSelector to accept a pathname. Done. Also updated doc.
#959 - Segfault on background rendering:
This happened in bg mode (blender -b filename -a, for example) when
a script with the line "Blender.Redraw()" was linked to FRAMECHANGED events. As reported in the bug page, it was because curarea is NULL in bg mode. Made Redraw() check for this and not call functions that expected curarea in Redraw, like one to swap buffers.
#1072 - Blender.Redraw() Segfault:
Good catch : ). Scripts called from the scripts win that called
Blender.Redraw() or Blender.Window.Redraw() would crash Blender because of a dirty pointer in Spacescript->script. Fixed.
This was a problem with the BezTriple type.
Write access to BezTriple via 'pt' member did not work.
Preferred method to access BPy type members, especially for
write access, is via get*/set* methods.
BezTriple.setPoints() will accept x,y coordinates as either
a tuple or a list.
Updated BezTriple section of Ipo module doc.
Basically this provides three new things:
1. Choice of a list of noise-base functions, which can be used by the
current Clouds, Marble, Wood textures as well.
2. Three new texture types: Musgrave, Voronoi and DistortedNoise
3. Python access to noise functions (not for render!)
All of this together makes Blender's builtin procedural textures a LOT
more powerful. Here again, a full webpage should be made to show off all
possibilities, and explain some of the more scientific names for settings.
A good read on Musgrave textures can be found here:
http://www.ypoart.com/Downloads/Musgrave.htm
About Voronoi:
http://www.ypoart.com/Downloads/Worley.htm
I can't find official DistortedNoise docs easily... maybe its something
Eeshlo created himself.
I've spent some time to change the patch Eeshlo provided. Worth noting:
- created main texture "Musgrave" with 5 sub choices (instead of 5 new
main textures)
- added for all new textures the option to scale (zoom in out)
- added patch in do_versions to initialize variables
I hope the Python team will check on the Noise.c API. And include in docs!
* Typo fixed in IpoCurve_getInterpolation.
'Bonstant' was used, while 'Constant' is what we want.
* IpoCurve.getName now also returns curve names for action-IPOs.
* Update to the Object module:
Added obj.getTimeOffset() and obj.setTimeOffset() methods
Anders Nilsson has promissed me to provide some updated Python API docs :)
- tentative fix for scripts with CR/LF endings and split lines:
in 2.32, the ac3d and vrml2 exporters, for example, had lines
split with '\\\\' and so gave syntax errors when executed on Win
platforms, because the scripts bundled with Win binaries had dos
line endings.
- Chris Keith has written code to execute Python scripts from the
command-line, with '-P ' switch: "blender -P filename":
a Blender.Quit function was also added, so Blender can quit after
running the script (end the script with Blender.Quit()), but there's
still work to be done in this part, including adding more functions,
to load / save .blend files and to run scripts. More testing and
discussions are necessary.
Thanks Chris, for both your contributions and your patience, since I
wasn't available to check / commit this for a while.
data definitions from .h files into corresponding .c files.
Blame zr for this since he's the one who pointed out that our
bpy headers were a mish-mash of stuff that belonged in the .c files!
In a nutshell, the headers should contain the declarations necessary
to use a module or class. The implementation files ( .c in this case )
should contain statements that allocate storage ( definitions in
the C sense ) and executable code.
When used at file scope, the keyword 'static' means "don't tell
anyone else about this". Since headers describe a public
interface, static declarations and definitions belong in the
implementation files.
The net result of all this is that after stuff has moved out
into the .c files, the .h files are empty or mostly empty.
I didn't delete them since there seem to be some public
declarations and because I did not want to cause too much
disruption at one time. Time enough for that later!
(MVert,MFace,etc) off into DNA_meshdata_types.h, to isolate areas
of source that actually edit mesh *data* vs. areas that just edit
mesh object information.
of zr). This struct was never written to file and the new 'int based'
MFace can be used in it's place. Some removal of redundant code could
perhaps be done now (I didn't do any though, just "s/MFaceInt/MFace/").
