This patch consists in new KX_GameObject::SetParent() and KX_GameObject::RemoveParent() functions to create and destroy parent relation during game. These functions are accessible through python and through a new actuator KX_ParentActuator. Function documentation in PyDoc.
The object keeps its orientation, position and scale when it is parented but will further rotate, move and scale with its parent from that point on. When the parent relation is broken, the object keeps the orientation, position and scale it had at that time.
The function has no effect if any of the X/Y/Z scale of the object or its new parent are below Epsilon.
Changing the mesh of an object that has a deform controller (armature) is now properly handled. The new mesh must have vertex groups matching the armature bones. In simple terms, the new mesh must deform correctly when you assign it to the object in Blender and you test the action. It will deform the same when you replace the object mesh during the game.
stuff used for peach to the standard <GL/glu.h>
the mesa stuff was needed for the machines for peach but its
not the stanard location of the headers, now that its not
needed were switching it back.

fix for [#6950] Blender crashes when .blog file top line is 160 characters or more
- made sure BLI_convertstringcode doesn't return more than 240 chars
- went through all callers and fixed places where string passed to BLI_convertstringcode was too short
- TODO: look into increasing sample->name and sound->name too, I prevented crashes, but filename might get shortened.
This patch modifies the BL_ConvertMesh method from the data conversion module in order to reduce the number of polygon
material objects that are created.
Normally, there should be only one material object for each material bucket(the group of meshes that are rendered together
with a single material). However, the number of materials that are created right now in the converter is much higher
and eats a lot of memory in scenes with large polygon counts. This patch deletes those material objects(KX_BlenderMaterial)
that are used only temporarily in the converter(and are now deleted only when the converter is destroyed, at the end
of the game).
For a cube that's subdivided 7 times(90+ k polygons) I get 200 MB usage in the game engine in 2.45 and 44 MB with a
svn build with this patch applied if the "Use Blender Materials" option is activated in the Game menu.
- check that an object has been created before setting the physics environment
- check that there is an active camera before using it
- when a camera is deleted, remove it from m_cameras list
rayCastTo(other,dist,prop)
Look towards another point/KX_GameObject and return first object hit within dist with a property that match prop, None if no object found or if it does not match prop.
Parameters:
other = 3-tuple (xyz coordinates) or object reference (target=center of object)
(type = list [x,y,z] or object reference)
dist = max distance of detection (can be negative => look behind)
If 0 or omitted => detect up to other
(type=float)
prop = property name that object must have
If empty or omitted => detect any object
(type=string)
1. All Ipo channels are now independent.
In Blender 2.45, all 3 Loc Ipo channels were automatically set
together. For example, having just a LocX Ipo channel was sufficient
to fix the X, Y and Z coordinates, with the Y and Z value taken
from the object original Y and Z location in Blender. The same
was true for the 3 Rot and the 3 Scale Ipo channels: the missing
channels were assumed to have constant value taken from the object
original orientation/scale in Blender.
With this patch, all Ipo channels are now independent.
THIS WILL CREATE BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY PROBLEM if you omit to
define the 3 channels of a same type together in your Blend file:
the undefined Loc, Rot, Scale coordinates of the object will
be influenced by the parent/spawner Loc/Rot/Scale in case the
object is a child or dynamically created.
2. Delta Loc, Rot, Scale are now supported with the following
limitations:
- The delta Loc/Rot Ipo modify the object global (NOT local)
location/orientation
- The delta Scale change the object local scale
- The delta Ipo curves are relative to the object starting
Loc/Rot/Scale when the Ipo was first activated; after that, the
delta Ipo becomes global. This means that the object will return
to this initial Loc/Rot/Scale when you later restart the Ipo
curve, even if you had changed the object Loc/Rot/Scale in the
meantime. Of course this applies only to the specific Loc/Rot/Scale
coordinate that are defined in the Ipo channels as the channels
are now independent.
3. When the objects are converted from Blender to the BGE, the
delta Loc/Rot/Scale that might result from initial non-zero values
in delta Ipo Curves will be ignored. However, as soon as the
delta Ipo curve is activated, the non-zero values will be taken
into account and the object will jump to the same Loc/Rot/Scale
situation as in Blender. Note that delta Ipo curves with initial
non-zero values is bad practice; logically, a delta Ipo curver
should always start from 0.
4. If you define both a global and delta channel of the same
type (LocX and DLocX), the result will be a global channel equivalent
to the sum of the two channels (LocX+DLocX).
The error was causing by the KINEMATIC flag not set automatically when the linear or angular velocity was set on static objects. Note that these actuators still won't work on static objects: the crash is fixed but not the actuator; linV and angV only work on dynamic objects. Fixing the linV and angV actuators on static object requires a bit more reflexion. For the time being, use dRot and dLoc on static objects.
Cleaned the code a bit: added systematic check on the physic controller presence before taking action.
This fix also improves performance of Display List for replica objects: Display List ID caching is now enabled for replica objects which avoids a tree search on each frame and for each replica.
AddObject actuator forces last created object to hang in memory even after object is removed from scene => bad link between object and physic controller that causes Blender to crash in case a python script tries to use it (bad programming anyway).
This patch avoids the crash by maintaining consistent links at all time.
* Make PyNodes work with threaded renderer. This patch is by Willian. He has worked hard on getting this sorted out - now you should be able to render with PyNodes AND multiple threads.
minus one small include file that was commented out, I'm not
sure why it was commented out but I'm pretty sure its needed.
If there are still problems later we can sort it out, everything
else is pretty simple.

[#7660] Solaris 10 x86 support (Makefiles)
Hopefully it will not mess up anything for anyone else. I removed
some hardcoded static libs and made NAN_*_LIB definitions so they could be
overridden, to allow greater flexability.
Let me know if there are any problems/questions.

This adds fractional FPS support to blender and should finally
make NTSC work correctly.
NTSC has an FPS of 30.0/1.001 which is approximately 29.97 FPS.
Therefore, it is not enough to simply make frs_sec a float, since
you can't represent this accurately enough.
I added a seperate variable frs_sec_base and FPS is now
frs_sec / frs_sec_base.
I changed all the places, where frs_sec was used to my best knowledge.
For convenience sake, I added several macros, that should make life
easier in the future:
FRA2TIME(a) : convert frame number to a double precision time in seconds
TIME2FRA(a) : the same in the opposite direction
FPS : return current FPS as a double precision number
(last resort)
This closes bug #6715
Standard framerates not supported / breaks sync -- 23.967 29.967 etc.
https://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&aid=6715&group_id=9&atid=125
Please give this heavy testing with NTSC files, quicktime in/export
and the python interface.
Errors are most probably only spotted on longer timelines, so that is
also important.
The patch was tested by Troy Sobotka and me, so it most probably should
work out of the box, but wider testing is important, since errors are
very subtle.
Enjoy!
I reviewed the code, suggested an update ( initialising accumulation buffer ), and tested the resulting update successfully.
It's great to see more GE developers!GE Patch by Hamed Zaghaghi to add motion blur to the GE ( using the accumulation buffer ).
I reviewed code and tested, gave some feedback ( initialising accumulation buffer ) which was implemented straight away, and re-reviewed.
It's great to have another GE coder on the team!
