When using a transform and there didn't exist an IPO-channel for that transform's focus (i.e. no rot curves when rotating) and "K" mode was active, there would be a crash due to missing checks for such situations.
Commit patch #8195
New outliner mode: Sequence, it's show all the sequence and strip that
we have in the outliner, split it for type (particle, sound and so on..).
Some notes to take care:
* The strip can be selected with LMB
* The sequence can be deleted with XKEY (all the selected)
* The "Meta" are stored in a single tree (Meta Strip)
with all the sequence.
* Duplicate sequence (with the same name) are store in a single tree
and you can select all the Sequence with LMB in the "root" entry.
* Also show the directory path.
[ As Ton point in the tracker, still need more work (and options, Luca made
a really good list in the tracker), so move to the trunk and start
working here, probably a good topic for next meeting. ]
Commit patch #7788, allow to set the render step, so it's
possible make render every N frames only.
The step is change in Scene buttons (F10), below start and
end frame buttons.
Also add a command line options (-j), so it's possible to
overwrite the file step (useful for renderfarm).
[ Brecht, this work with OpenGL renders and simulated
the skipped frames, please double check ]
Three features that were on the main UI interface are now
moved to the Advanced Settings panel:
Margin, Actor (that becomes Sensor Actor) and No sleeping.
Sensor Actor is now a feature: it can be turned on and off
for all types of objects, and not just static objects.
Select the Sensor Actor button to make the object visible
to Near and Radar sensor.
The button is selected by default for dynamic objects
and unselected by default for static objects, to match
previous behavior.
Patch #9673: "Short patch to make spacehandler event scripts work more like normal python gui script handlers" by Steven Truppe:
http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=127&aid=9673&group_id=9
This patch adds the Blender.eventValue variable available for space handlers, holding the event value (aka 1 for button and key presses, X or Y coordinate for mousex / mousey movement). Thanks, Steven. PS: this doesn't break existing scripts.
Finally, after a long time new render candy for the non-game peoples! :)
Good doc is here: (url splits in two)
http://www.harkyman.com/2008/08/06/controllable-shadow-intensity-
and-color/
Note the colorpicker for shadow is in "Shadow and Spot" panel. A bit
hidden, could get more attention. For later. :)
Removed superfluous check for destination IPO-block/IPO-curve which may not have existed. This meant that pasting keyframes into an "empty" Action Channel sometimes failed.
Bug #17599:
Summary: Python constraints, good in 2.46 not working anymore in 2.47
http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=125&aid=17599&group_id=9
Improved my old hack to avoid frame changed scriptlinks from running when rendering stills, should fix this bug. It also causes REDRAW scriptlinks to be executed during renders, but that conforms to how FRAMECHANGED ones work.
BTW: this can still be improved. The current system meant to disable all Python functionality at once needs imo to be replaced by one that allows to enable / disable per feature (scriptlinks, pyconstraints, pynodes, etc.). A better way to inform scriptlinks about what is going on (render, anim, render anim, etc.) would also help. Will discuss with others.
* Changed hotkey to Alt-I. As a result, Remove IK is now Ctrl-Alt-I, though that shouldn't affect many people at all as it appears that hardly anyone uses it.
* Added menu entries for Delete Keyframe
Tighten test for excluding objects as snap target.
Now exclude all object that are themselves moving (that includes childs of selected objects) as well as objects with moving geometry (like hooked meshes).
The previous situation would cause unfrequent bugs, but especially present in alignment cases (those concerned will understand).
The Physics button controls the creation of a physics representation
of the object when starting the game. If the button is not selected,
the object is a pure graphical object with no physics representation
and all the other physics buttons are hidden.
Selecting this button gives access to the usual physics buttons.
The physics button is enabled by default to match previous Blender
behavior.
The margin parameter allows to control the collision margin from
the UI. Previously, this parameter was only accessible through
Python. By default, the collision margin is set to 0.0 on static
objects and 0.06 on dynamic objects.
To maintain compatibility with older games, the collision margin
is set to 0.06 on all objects when loading older blend file.
Note about the collision algorithms in Bullet 2.71
--------------------------------------------------
Bullet 2.71 handles the collision margin differently than Bullet 2.53
(the previous Bullet version in Blender). The collision margin is
now kept "inside" the object for box, sphere and cylinder bound
shapes. This means that two objects bound to any of these shape will
come in close contact when colliding.
The static mesh, convex hull and cone shapes still have their
collision margin "outside" the object, which leaves a space of 1
or 2 times the collision margin between objects.
The situation with Bullet 2.53 was more complicated, generally
leading to more space between objects, except for box-box collisions.
This means that running a old game under Bullet 2.71 may cause
visual problems, especially if the objects are small. You can fix
these problems by changing some visual aspect of the objects:
center, shape, size, position of children, etc.
The 'opposite' of the "Insert Key" tool.
- Use the hotkey Ctrl-Alt-IKEY to activate.
- Only available in 3d-view and buttons window
I've added an extra var to verify_ipo and verify_ipocurve to save having to make another duplicate of that code. Hopefully the gameengine compiles ok with this.
* Moved all keyframing functions to their own file (keyframing.c)
* Merged all the different keyframing options (needed, visual, fast) into a single API call. The direct benefit of this is that it allows them to be used in conjunction with each other. Also, this means that when using the IKEY, autokeying settings for these are respected too.
* Implemented 'keyingsets' system (instead of directly calling insertkey on relevant channels), which is easier to maintain and cleaner. A keyingset basically defines all the channels that can be keyframed together. This paves the way for custom keyingsets sometime down the track (and also for quick-insert keyframes for previously used keyingset).
Menus for choosing the keying set to use are generated automatically from the definitions.
saves a marshal'd GameLogic.globalDict to the blendfile path with the blend extension replaced with bgeconf
Use this in YoFrankie to save keyboard layout and graphics quality settings.
background images and node previews goes wrong. The exact cause
of that is not sure, may be a driver bug, workaround is to fall
back to another slower function.
There were too many undo events being added for IPO Editor when selecting items with the mouse. Removed deselectall_editipo()'s undo push, as it was never called standalone anyway.
When editing IPO curve handles on a curve that belongs to a NLA-strip with repeat != 1 and 'AutoMerge Keyframes' on, the scaling correction was causing more problems than it was worth.
