with MSVS 8)
- broke mesh_create_shadedColors out of shadeDispList, used to
build vertex colors for mesh in vpaint as well (also fixed
bug where they were not initialized correctly for subsurfs)
- added modifier_copyData and modifier_findByType functions
- change editmode modifiers to only calculate if Realtime and
Editmode bits are both set, makes more sense for copying
modifiers
- update object_copy to correctly copy modifiers
- removed duplicate redefinition of ME_ attributes in python,
this is a horrible idea, why was it done in the first place?
- update armature auto vertex group code to check for subsurf
in modifier stack
- fixed flip_subdivision to work with move to modifier stack
- added copymenu_modifiers, can copy all modifiers or just
data from first modifier of a certain type (not sure how
to deal with multiple modifiers of same type... not
a big issue though I think)
- PoseMode: Wkey menu, "Flip Left/Right Names". On selected bones, it flips
the L/R tags in names, and calls the proper code to rename everything
that's related (constraint targets, bone-childs, etc).
- PoseMode: Shift+S snapmenu: snap cursor to selected now works
- Outliner: select bones now correctly sets 'active' flag for bones,
updating the UI as well.
Also made sure you cannot select hidden bones in outliner.
- 3DWindow: in PoseMode/EditMode draws name of active Bone too (with user
option "Draw active object name" set.
- Added the new Armature/PoseMode options in View3D pulldowns.
Cleanup:
- moved Pose code from editaction.c to poseobject.c
- removed BSE_editaction.h and BSE_editaction_types.h, moved contents of
it to BIF_editaction.h. One include per C file should be fine. :)
I know the src/ structure would require more elaborated includes, but
we don't have that now...
- Added option to the IK buttons, to have it use the 'tip' as end of the
IK chain. I never really understood this old convention (IK didn't work
on the Bone itself).
Old files still will read OK though. But I made the "To Tip" a default
when adding new IK constraints.
- Hotkey CTRL+I: add IK, with option to have it adding an Empty target,
or use a selected Bone as target. With the new non-modal PoseMode, it
gives instant access to playing with the IK chain.
- Hotkey ALT+I: clears IK, on all selected Bones
- Hotkey ALT+C: clears Constraints on all selected Bones (incl IK)
*NOTE*: Some UI decision done in this commit will most likely be revised, all flame shall go in /dev/null. Constructive discussions of course welcomed.
This commit merges manipulator orientation selection back in "traditional" transform.
That's how it works:
- The dropdown in the 3D view header is always visible
- The orientation chosen will be used when choosing an axis with MMB and for the *second* key press of X,Y,Z
However, Local orientation doesn't use the one calculated by the manipulator. This is to ensure that multiple object local and armatures in pose still works as before.
- Alt-Space (to change the orientation) works during transform
New Transform orientation: View, using the view axis.
Fixes for the following bugs:
- Constraint projection code "jammed" if input vector was <0,0,0>, reported a couple of times on IRC. Thanks to Basse for the example file.
- Transform on texspace crashed on objects without texspace data (camera, lamp, ...). This was reported in tracker.
- Numinput with lock constraints didn't work correctly. Reported on elysiun
Probably some others that I'm forgetting
I also moved a couple of functions around in an attempt to make things clearer.
- added modifier type flag: should modifier be enabled by default for
active in editmode
- added subsurf "debug incremental" option instead of G.rt==52 (it becomes
a slightly useful feature now for debugging how well a modifier works
with incremental subsurf... maybe important for future python modifier
developers)
- shuffled modifier button layout just to keep people guessing
- switched back to drawing editmesh face centers not through derivedmesh,
I didn't think this one through, forgot that centers were also used for
selection. have to think about what to do about this, should be either
(a) don't draw centers with a cage active (optimal mode) or (b) come up
with api to draw centers through derivedmesh and also handle selection.
- changed recalc_editnormals to also follow the len(no)==0.0 use vertex
co convention
to normalised coordinate (convention in blender, helps with
halo)
- removed vertexnormals(), vertexnormals_mesh()
- removed CTX_NO_NOR_RECALC (always assume already calculated)
- change NMesh.c to call mesh_calc_normals
- chance load_editMesh to call mesh_calc_normals after done
converting instead of using editmesh normals
- update recalc_editnormals to also calc vertex normals (whats
4 more adds and a sqrt among friends)
Its hard to believe, but it just might be the case that there
are only two places mesh normals are calculated now (renderer
and kernel)
- PoseMode now is a state Armature Objects can be in. So, while in PoseMode
for an Armature, you can just select another Object or Armature.
- The old PoseMode options (transform, insert keys etc) are accessible
with making the Armature Object 'active' (and have object in PoseMode).
- At this moment no multiple Poses can be transformed/edited at the same
time.
- The old hotkey CTRL+TAB, and view3d header menu, still work to set an
Object's PoseMode
It was quite a lot recode, so tests & reports are welcome.
Oh, as a bonus I added Lasso Select for Bones in PoseMode! It selects using
only the line between root and tip of the Bone.
- added ModifierTypeInfo.freeData function
- added modifier_{new,free] utility function
- added ccgSubSurf_getUseAgeCounts to query info
- removed subsurf modifier faking (ME_SUBSURF flag is no
longer valid). subsurf modifier gets converted on file load
although there is obscure linked mesh situation where this
can go wrong, will fix shortly. this also means that some
places in the code that test/copy subsurf settings are broken
for the time being.
- shuffled modifier calculation to be simpler. note that
all modifiers are currently disabled in editmode (including
subsurf). don't worry, will return shortly.
- bug fix, build modifier didn't randomize meshes with only verts
- cleaned up subsurf_ccg and adapted for future editmode modifier
work
- added editmesh.derived{Cage,Final}, not used yet
- added SubsurfModifierData.{mCache,emCache}, will be used to cache
subsurf instead of caching in derivedmesh itself
- removed old subsurf buttons
- added do_modifiers_buttons to handle modifier events
- removed count_object counting of modifier (subsurfed) objects...
this would be nice to add back at some point but requires care.
probably requires rewrite of counting system.
New feature: Incremental Subsurf in Object Mode
The previous release introduce incremental subsurf calculation during
editmode but it was not turned on during object mode. In general it
does not make sense to have it always enabled during object mode because
it requires caching a fair amount of information about the mesh which
is a waste of memory unless the mesh is often recalculated.
However, for mesh's that have subsurfed armatures for example, or that
have other modifiers so that the mesh is essentially changing on every
frame, it makes a lot of sense to keep the subsurf'd object around and
that is what the new incremental subsurf modifier toggle is for. The
intent is that the user will enable this option for (a) a mesh that is
currently under active editing or (b) a mesh that is heavily updated
in the scene, such as a character.
I will try to write more about this feature for release, because it
has advantages and disadvantages that are not immediately obvious (the
first user reaction will be to turn it on for ever object, which is
probably not correct).
based on time change. would be nice if dep graph could handle this.
- made dep check if modifiers need update on time change
- fix render crash (access null)
- added new Build Effect modifier type. compared to old one works as
a full member of modifier system, means can apply subsurf, etc on
it, reorder, what have you. and it is all nice and self contained.
- removed old Build effect, old files convert to new style on load
- couldn't help myself, added a randomize feature to build effect
- removed Python BuildEffect support
- With Actions on a Pose, ESC in transform restored wrong.
This is solved similar to ipos now, storing a 'last time evaluated'.
Could be extended to ghosting... soon.
- Moving the little yellow 'key blocks' in Action window didn't update
3d window. ALso the 'lock' option didn't work, and flashed header.
- Pose Transform: noticed there were still errors in cases, especially
with actions. Painfully tried to build the desired matrix now.
- Removed obsolete Bone pointer from TransData
Beauty button now is Beauty and Short.
Works as follows
Beauty on: If a face is selected, only subdivide the longest 2 sides
Beauty & Short on: If a face is selected, only subdivide the shortest 2 sides
1 problem atm is when more than 2 sides are equal. Must add code to check for this and disable beauty on that face. Use with caution! :)
Also restoring selection needs to be tweaked here.
Side Note: for most accurate subdividing, use edge mode and select only the edges you wish to cut rather than relying on beauty.
- Add Armature or Bone (SHIFT+A) now adds by default a single Bone, view
aligned and of unit-size 1.
- Then use E-key (extrude) to draw chains, this option now doesn't popup
the "OK" requester anymore, so works fast
- Another new method is using CTRL+click to add Bones
This makes it working identical to the other edit modes in Blender. The old
modal loop for drawing bones just wasn't working well either.
Related to this; have a real set of useful Armature primitives?
2) Removed event REMAKEALLIPO, which was added in NaN days for testing, and
proved to be extremely slow. Code is moved now to editnla.c.
Thanks Tom Hendrick to pointing to this nasty buggy feature!
The B-Bones!
(where the B can be read as 'block' or 'bezier' or 'b-spline')
- set option on/off in edit buttons, armature panel
- scaling of B-bones only works in editmode, use ALT+S to make bones fatter
or thinner. Also works for constrainted transform
- In pose mode, you now have a buttons panel with per-bone settings too
Here you can find the "segments" button, which allows bones to
interpolate between previous/next bones, including roll.
- Buttons to control interpolation ("In" and "Out" are disabled, doesn't
work satisfying yet
NOTE: this doesn't give deform yet! Main purpose for now is to test if this
drawing method serves to animate/pose armatures well.
Still need to review proper interpolation methods... maybe bezier is too
limited.
- some other twiddles to fix mixed signedness compiler warnings
And from the "Dear lazy programmers" file: After you have extern declared
a variable 5 or more times at the top a function, you would have actually
saved a lot of effort by just putting it in the header where it belonged.
Or perhaps you thought by hiding it no one else would notice you were
using global variables to pass information around. Tsk tsk.
had to add a new feature to the 3d window, to collect "after draw" objects,
which get drawn as last, after a clear of the zbuffer.
Same method can be used for nice OpenGL transparent draw, the system is
ready for it, do that later.
The huge commit is caused by cleaning up globals from struct Global. Many
variables were unused or just not needed anymore. Did that to move the ugly
G.zbuf to where it belongs, in the View3D space struct. :)
Ton has been pushing me to get this in and finish it up with help, so here is a run down of the commit
Revised Features
Subdivide now is Edge based, allows for multicut
Loopcut was recoded, now has multi option
Knife tool now has multi option
New Features
Edgeslide
Edgering select
Removed Features
Alt-B Edgeloop selection (use alt-RMB in edgemode)
Shift-R Faceloop selection (use alt-RMB in facemode)
Old Subdivide (Except for smooth which is left in until new one works)
Todo
Subdivide Smooth Math is broken - could use some help here (look for alter_co in editmesh_tools.c)
Tweak mouse control of Edgeslide is hackish ATM
Add Non-proportional movement to edgeslide
Add smooth option to new loopcut
I probably left something out.
See here for more info
http://wiki.blender.org/bin/view.pl/Blenderdev/EdgeSubdivision
- In Solid drawmode, bones get drawn solid too now. Including Outline-
selection color, if that's set.
Disable it by setting Object-buttons "drawtype" for the Armature.
Color used for solid bones is in Theme editor.
- EditMode armature now follows (Mesh edit) theme colors (Vertex, Edge)
- PoseMode armature has ThemeColor for selection, and draws three extra
colors now;
- blue shade for bones with action Ipos
- yellow for bones with IK
- green for bones with a constraint
- "X ray" now only works for PoseMode... needs review, can be done better
- "Draw Names" option uses theme color too, also indicates selection.
Fixes;
- In Armature EditMode, the deformed Mesh goes to rest-position
- Border select didn't clear 'active' flag in Bones in PoseMode
- Mouse-click select didn't work when a dashed line was close to Bone
Changed selectprojektie (and renamed to view3d_opengl_select as suggested by Ton) to accept a buffer size, so boundbox can adapt it's buffer size to the number of object in scene.
Also, the loop is done more smartly, since glSelect fills the buffer in the same order as the drawing order, so we save lops of looping on unselected object (which used to go through all the buffer before finding that they weren't selected).
This scheme could probably be applied to all the other loops using glSelect. (good project for newbie coders)
weird disabled code that was hanging out there for ages.
Also cleaned up NLA blending itself, it was copying far too much data
around. Should be three times faster or so... need good test!
And restored Action Baking.
Aim was to get a total refresh of the animation system. This
is needed because;
- we need to upgrade it with 21st century features
- current code is spaghetti/hack combo, and hides good design
- it should become lag-free with using dependency graphs
A full log, with complete code API/structure/design explanation
will follow, that's a load of work... so here below the list with
hot changes;
- The entire object update system (matrices, geometry) is now
centralized. Calls to where_is_object and makeDispList are
forbidden, instead we tag objects 'changed' and let the
depgraph code sort it out
- Removed all old "Ika" code
- Depgraph is aware of all relationships, including meta balls,
constraints, bevelcurve, and so on.
- Made depgraph aware of relation types and layers, to do smart
flushing of 'changed' events. Nothing gets calculated too often!
- Transform uses depgraph to detect changes
- On frame-advance, depgraph flushes animated changes
Armatures;
Almost all armature related code has been fully built from scratch.
It now reveils the original design much better, with a very clean
implementation, lag free without even calculating each Bone more than
once. Result is quite a speedup yes!
Important to note is;
1) Armature is data containing the 'rest position'
2) Pose is the changes of rest position, and always on object level.
That way more Objects can use same Pose. Also constraints are in Pose
3) Actions only contain the Ipos to change values in Poses.
- Bones draw unrotated now
- Drawing bones speedup enormously (10-20 times)
- Bone selecting in EditMode, selection state is saved for PoseMode,
and vice-versa
- Undo in editmode
- Bone renaming does vertexgroups, constraints, posechannels, actions,
for all users of Armature in entire file
- Added Bone renaming in NKey panel
- Nkey PoseMode shows eulers now
- EditMode and PoseMode now have 'active' bone too (last clicked)
- Parenting in EditMode' CTRL+P, ALT+P, with nice options!
- Pose is added in Outliner now, with showing that constraints are in
the Pose, not Armature
- Disconnected IK solving from constraints. It's a separate phase now,
on top of the full Pose calculations
- Pose itself has a dependency graph too, so evaluation order is lag free.
TODO NOW;
- Rotating in Posemode has incorrect inverse transform (Martin will fix)
- Python Bone/Armature/Pose API disabled... needs full recode too
(wait for my doc!)
- Game engine will need upgrade too
- Depgraph code needs revision, cleanup, can be much faster!
(But, compliments for Jean-Luc, it works like a charm!)
- IK changed, it now doesnt use previous position to advance to next
position anymore. That system looks nice (no flips) but is not well
suited for NLA and background render.
TODO LATER;
We now can do loadsa new nifty features as well; like:
- Kill PoseMode (can be option for armatures itself)
- Make B-Bones (Bezier, Bspline, like for spines)
- Move all silly button level edit to 3d window (like CTRL+I = add
IK)
- Much better & informative drawing
- Fix action/nla editors
- Put all ipos in Actions (object, mesh key, lamp color)
- Add hooks
- Null bones
- Much more advanced constraints...
Bugfixes;
- OGL render (view3d header) had wrong first frame on anim render
- Ipo 'recording' mode had wrong playback speed
- Vertex-key mode now sticks to show 'active key', until frame change
-Ton-
Cleanup in transform.c: removed uneeded includes and removed REPEAT experiment.
Split off manipulator init function, no need to resort on hacks to setup stuff before starting transform anymore.
Fix0r3d single axis projection for constraints. It deals with perspective correctly now (as much as planar constraints).
Important notes:
- Full compatibility with old text objects not fully restored
(word spacing will be 0.0, need to set it manually to 1.0), will
either need version upgrade to 238 or a hack. Will check.
- lorem.c (about to be committed) contains BF copyright notice, but as
BF did not exist a few hundred years ago, probably best to remove it :)
- If you notice any cross-platform issues (especially beloved windows),
please report
- A few tiny warnings left, I will fix those issues still.
The rest has been said already - so have fun testing. And please do!

- gui-less scripts with calls to progress bar inside fileselector callbacks didn't return to the previous space on exit (staying on Scripts win), requiring an event to do so (mouse movement, for example). Quick fix for now, will rework a little after 2.37a for a better alternative, not needing to move to the Scripts win at all.
- added syntax colors access to Window.Theme module.
Scripts:

Thanks all mentioned above.
alone with the following flags :
-Wall -Wno-char-subscripts -Wno-missing-braces.
the only one still worrying me is in rand.c line 57 :
rand.c:57: integer constant is too large for "long" type
but i have no clue about how correct cross-compiler and 32/64 bits friendly
see also my mail to commiter list for signed/unsigned issues
of course...)
Not quite complete, but due to lack of time as good as it will get for now.
From the previous commit, forgot to report that basic fog is supported as well. Though because I had not much time to complete the code, it is sort of unfinished, and you will have
to tweak parameters specifically for yafray again. It uses only the world horizon color, and
only uses the Blender mist distance setting.
Textures now support checker clip mode.
Fixed possibly all 'duplilist non-empty' errors, though it could hide the real cause of the
error.
AA is no longer enabled automatically for certain GI quality settings, I thought it best to
leave it to the user to decide.
SkyDome GI mode now supports cache as well. There is a new option in the GI quality menu 'Use
Blender AO settings', which will as it says use the most important AO settings for the
skydome parameters. The only AO parameters used are 'Samples', 'Dist' and the random sampling
switch, which unlike in Blender you might want to use more often, since the QMC sampling used
in yafray can result in visible patterns or a dithering type look. 'Random' is not completely
random in yafray however, it is actually jittered (stratified) sampling.
Using an occlusion cache, doesn't necessarily mean that you will always get much shorter
render times. As with 'full' GI and cache, one problem is bumpmaps, when using bump (or
normal) maps, the sampling will be much more dense, using lots more rendertime.
As a temporary fix there is a button 'NoBump', but this also has the side effect that in
areas of total indirect light (or when used with SkyDome cache) no bumpmapping will be
visible. It is therefor best used with some direct light as well.
For SkyDome with cache, and strong bumpmapping it might actually not make much difference,
since for low distance values you can usually get away with low sample values as well.
The entire material panel is now replaced by another panel to show only the parameters
important to yafray and add some new ones as well.
Since lots of users (especially yafray beginners) have had problems getting certain material
aspects right, there is now a material preset menu available to hopefully solve some of the
most common "How do I do this? It doesn't work!" questions seen in various forums.
Choosing an option from this menu will set the required parameters to default
values for yafray, and you can work your way from there to tweak it something you want.
Most buttons are copies of the same Blender parameters, with some variations. Just like
Blender 'Ray Mirror' enables reflection, 'Ray Transp' enables refraction. You can use
'ZTransp' for materials that have texture maps with alpha channels.
Again, same as Blender 'rayMir' sets the amount of reflection. Next button 'frsOfs' however
controls fresnel offset, meaning that when this is set to 1, you will get no fresnel effect
and when set to 5, reflection is totally determined by fresnel, which is important for
realistic glass/metals/etc.
IOR is self-explanatory (...), same as Blender.
When you have 'Ray Transp' enabled, the blender 'filter' button will appear next to the IOR
button. This has the same effect as in Blender.
Below that there are some new parameters, 'Ext.Color' sets the extinction color for
transparent materials. Usually, in real transparent materials, light loses some of it's
energy the further it has to travel through the object. This effect can be simulated with
this parameter. Thing to look out for is that it specifies the color which will be
REMOVED after traveling through the object. What this means is that say you have a clear
white glass sphere, and set the extinction color to a strong blue, the result will be a
very yellow object when rendered.
Next to the color sliders, there is another set of three parameters, with which you can
enable color dispersion for transparent objects. 'Pwr' sets the amount of dispersion,
the higher, the more dispersion (the more colorful the result).
(For real world materials, this number can be found or derived from data in various glass catalogues)
The 'Samples' button below that sets the number of samples used, minimum values are around
7-10, and for very strong dispersion you might need a lot more.
As usual, this also means an increase in render time of course, but to simulate
realistic materials, you shouldn't really need more than 25 samples.
In addition to that, when using low sample numbers, but to still get a good spread of colors,
you can enable the jitter button, but this will also add noise.
Point/soft(point with shadowbuffer) or sphere lights (light with radius), have a new option
to add a simple glow effect, so that lights can be made visible.
NOTE: just like spotlight halo's, glow is not visible against the background, there must be
another object behind it. Simplest solution is to use a large black shadeless plane behind
your scene.
The glow intensity can be set with the 'GlowInt' parameter (use very low values around 0.01
even lower), and you can choose from two different types with the 'GlowType' button (which
don't look much different, but type 1 is probably better, type 0 faster).
And that's it, with apologies for the still missing features and
full support in general, but this will have to do for now.
feature with a header button.
Works like audio playback on ALT+A, meaning you have to add the audio
strips in Sequencer. The 'only sync' option for ALT+A doesn't work here.
Also: fixed crash on ESC in audio playback in sequencer.
MEMSET was clearing the TransInfo struct after the constraint setup call has been made.
Temporary fix until the manipulator transform init is split off, like normal transform.
Patch provided by Ricki Myers. Works quite obvious, see Theme editor too!
Notes about the provided code;
- The default syntax colors were screaming! Toned it down to match the
default dark on lightgrey background better.
- Added: initializing colors in saved themes (usiblender.c)
- The implementation of the button for this option was quite clumsy...
Blender UI options services this a lot easier.
(Same fixed for 'line numbers' option)
- Bracket matching now uses as color a mix of backdrop and the
selected-text color. Noticed my texteditor did it too...
-> I really miss comments in code describing a little bit the thought
process behind the code. Like a short introduction on this feature
in the top of the drawtext.c, little remarks on new functions.
ALso in patch tracker or the mailinglist no docs was mentioned?
-> drawtext.c now gets messy quickly... lack of overview, structure,
and confusing mix of personal coding styles.
For not-active supported code dangerous...
Using the Play button in timeline, now uses an event-driven system to
update the animation system and signal windows to redraw. Meaning the
full UI remains responsive!
Check the new Pulldown "Playback" to set which windows you like to see
updated. Same settings is used for LMB 'dragging' frames in Timeline.
Implementation notes;
- the Icon for 'Pause' (or stop) has to be made yet, I commit this from
my laptop... all was coded during a 2 x 5 hour train ride to germany
- the anim playback system (ALT+A too) now uses correct "frames per
second" as maximum speed. Buttons can be found in 3 places in the UI,
also added it as pulldown item
- The system works with 'screen handlers', which has been coded with
using Python (networked) events or verse in mind too. A doc on that
will follow.
- the buttons code has been made 'resistant' to animated UIs too,
preventing flashing of hilites.
- All subloops (like transform) stop playback, with exception of MMB
view manipulations.
As extra; found tweak to make Textured AA fonts draw without distortion.
Looks perfect here on laptop now (like Pixmap fonts) and is 20x faster.
- Splited off the event treatment into a fonction of its own
- Splited off the initialisation phase into a function of its own (will have to do it for the manipulator function too)
Calling transform now works like this:
initTransform(mode, context)
- possible post init calls, constraints mostly
Transform()
- eventually, the postTransform function, so that Transform is just a simple big loop which could in the end just be tied in the blender event system instead.
- Added a state variable in TransInfo to replace the ret_val local variable. Possible values are: TRANS_RUNNING, TRANS_CANCEL, TRANS_CONFIRM
- Tied MMB and the hotkey select for constraint together, so selecting an axis with MMB and pressing the axis key after that goes to local mode on that axis. Much less confusing.
Martin; I've added calls like:
BIF_TransformSetUndo("Add Duplicate");
In advance of calling transform itself, to indicate that this is the
string name to be used for Undo, and also has to be done on ESC.
To make that possible I had to add a memset() to zero the global struct
TransInfo. Nicely done with if(Trans.mode==TRANS_INIT)
Not sure how this relates to setting constraints in advance... I always
found it tricky to work a non-initalized global struct. :)
- TimeLine: Marker grabbing works now. Use GKEY or select+drag, as usual
Holding CTRL will step with 1 second (corrected for ntsc dudes yes!)
Also added this in header pulldown
- Time values and Time grid draw fixed for Seconds display. It used to
draw steps of 2/5/10/20/50/100 etc. frames. Now does steps in seconds.
Again corrected for "Frames/Sec" value.
- "Frames/Sec" button redraws TimeLine, Secquencer, etc
- Bug fixed in editing Theme for TimeLine (was editing Image Select...)
- Added Grid color to Theme choices for Ipo, TimeLine, Sequencer, NLA,
Action, Sound. Was missing!
Works nice quick to rotate a group of Objects around a defined center,
without hassle with the 3d cursor. Especially for the 3D Manipulator.
In EditMode/PoseMode this option falls back to "Centroid", as does the
"Individual centers" option already.
Hope Martin likes this simple hack. :)
Also; added flag in constraint to denote whether its local or not. That
way its possible to:
- prevent local scale and rotate on multiple objects to change own position
- draw constraint lines cleaner
- Added Ckey for 'center view around current frame'.
- Completed View pulldown menu with remainder of options.
- prevented negative scaled views when start > end frame
Main change is that it's an own Space type now, not part of the Audio
window... the audio window should restrict to own options. This way
functionality is nicely separated.
Since it's the first time I added a new space (since long!) I've made an
extensive tutorial as well. You can find that here:
http://www.blender3d.org/cms/Adding_new_Space_Window.557.0.html
Notes for using timewindow;
- Add time markers with MKey
- CTRL+M gives option to name Marker
- Markers cannot be moved yet...
- Pageup-Pagedown keys moves current frame to next-prev Marker
- Xkey removes Markers
- If an object has Ipos or an Action, it draws key lines
- CTRL+Pageup-Pagedown moves current frame to next-prev Key
- Press S or E to set start/end frame for playback
Notes about the implementation in Tuhopuu:
- Add new Marker now selects new, deselects others
- Selecting Marker didn't work like elsewhere in Blender, on click it
should deselect all, except the indicated Marker. Not when holding SHIFT
of course
- Not exported functions are static now
- Removed unused defines (MARKER_NONE NEXT_AVAIL)
- Drawing order was confusing, doing too many matrix calls
- Removed not needed scrollbar, added new function to draw time values.
(Has advantage the MMB scroll works not confusing on a scrollbar)
- Added proper support for 'frame mapping'
- The string button (name Marker) had a bug (checked str[64] while str
was only 64 long)
- String button itself didn't allow "OK on enter"
- Made frame buttons in header larger, the arrows overlapped
- Removed support for negative frame values, that won't work so simple!
