- moved bpydata/ to scripts/bpydata/ and added a config/ subdir to it;
- created scripts/bpymodules for py modules (also got rid of those "mod_"'s appended to the files);
- updated scripts accordingly.
This will require you to "reinstall" (just copy the scripts/ dir over your older one) if you have a .blender/scripts/ dir somewhere. Otherwise some scripts won't work. You can use the updated "Help->System->System Information" script here to check all is fine. An installer script yet to be written will help users with these issues, specially to make the user defined dir have the same structure expected from the default scripts dir, so the basic facilities (module search; saved config data; scripts: installer, help browser, config editor) are also available for a user's own collection of written and downloaded scripts.
BPython:
- slikdigit's crash was because he had no <home or blender exe location>/.blender/:
proper check added and also now if all else fails the <cvsblender>/release/scripts/ dir is also searched for scripts. All this registration dirs stuff is a little messy (installation!), so please report any troubles (I only tested on linux).
- slight change in error report in BPY_interface.c's BPY_menu_do_python; remembering to set globaldict pointer to NULL there, too.
- moved bpy_gethome() to EXPP_interface.[ch]
- "//" as user defined python dir is ignored while looking for scripts, considering it's only a default some users use, not really meant for a scripts dir.
- Scripts:
fixed error in "Save Current Theme" which prevented it from automatically updating script registration in menus.
cosmetic changes in a couple of Campbell's sel_same.py script strings + more descriptive name for its new menu place (3d view, face mode -> select menu).
small updates to help_browser.py script.
The above changes are related to this:
- Added new script menu entries: Render (for exporters to renderers), Themes, FaceSelect (this already at the proper place). Updated Scripts win->Scripts menu so it won't show all available entries, only the ones we mean to see there.
- Updated menu registration so that scripts folders can become trees. The release/scripts/ dir should be updated soon with subdirs like converters/, modifiers/, generators/ or whatever -- better discuss first (or is it? /me afraid of long irc discussions during meetings :) ).
- Modules:
Blender: added 'udatadir' option to .Get() function and added var Blender.mode to tell if Blender is in bg or interactive mode.
NMesh: added Campbell's nmesh.transform(matrix, recalc_normals = False) method (reworked, so my fault if it doesn't work).
- Bugs fixed:
#2123: http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=125&aid=2123&group_id=9
Reported by Ken Hughes (thanks!), who also found the exact problem later (it was in Text.Load, not with script links -- if only I had checked emails these days ... lost > 1 hour today to find the problem: passed filename to M_Text_Load was later being written over by a function called by add_text). Also saw that Text.Load wasn't checking existence of passed filename (duh!), now it does.
#1655: http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=125&aid=1655&group_id=9
Reported by Chris Want (thanks!): command line "blender -P script" not working properly for bg mode ("blender -b blendfile -P script").
Had to make some small updates to get it working (bg mode for scripts was never explicitely handled, it worked due to collateral effects, let's say), interested readers can check the report after I update it or the API_intro.py doc file. After more testing we can make further updates. Updated many places to not call redraws if in bg mode, now it is officially available. Blender outputs its own info when rendering in bg mode, if that is considered a nuissance we'll have to add a few "if (during_script())" calls outside bpython.
- Removed a few warnings here and there and also updated docs.
- Stephane Soppera added long missed support for edge data in Blender.NMesh + related doc;
- Michael Reimpell improved script registration (fixes bug report #2160) and the file and image selectors in Blender.Window (improved with suggestions from Yann Vernier). They now suppport methods as callbacks;
- World.get/setMode were not registered, so could not be directly called (reported by Ken Hughes). Still needs some work to improve things, including docs.
Scripts:
- Jean-Michel Soler updated his texture baker based on input from Appolux;
- Campbell and Jean-Michel improved the bvh importer: faster, better float units scaling (by Campbell); supports Poser 3.01 files (by jms).
Thanks guys!
- Added Blender.UpdateMenus() + doc: so scripts can automatically update Blender menus when they create (or download or whatever) new scripts to be registered.
- Removed a long deprecated function from the Blender module (release dict).
Matt (broken) mentioned the UpdateMenus function a couple weeks ago. I also updated the Save Current Theme script to use it. This is all related to his ideas to use scripts to save and restore themes and e.g. render presets.
- Fixes by Jean-Michel Soler: mod_ai2obj.py, mod_svg2obj.py;
- Fixes by Campbell Barton: obj_import.py;
- Small fix to mod_meshtools.py (fixes bug #1605: http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=125&aid=1605&group_id=9);
- Updates by Jean-Baptiste (Jiba) to his blender2cal3d.py;
- Updates to all his import / export scripts (added doc data) by Anthony D'Agostino;
- Update to off_import: support for uv data, by Arne Schmitz.
BPython:
- Removed Object.get and .getSelected (deprecated long ago, we use .Get and .GetSelected) -- fixes#1861: http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=125&aid=1861&group_id=9
- Applied patch by Michael Reimpell: quat.c - fix for wrong initialization with newQuaternionObject; Mathutils documentation improvements.
- Stani reported a wrong return msg in IpoCurve.Get (that is unimplemented).
Thanks to all coders mentioned above!
- Small doc update in a script;
- Fixed bug #1742:
http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=125&aid=1742&group_id=9
It was an internal error in bpython. I was using G.main->script.last to find the currently running (if any) script, but this isn't reliable, we must check each open script to find out if one of them has the SCRIPT_RUNNING bitflag set.
Thanks intrr for reporting and blendix for pointing how to reproduce the bug. From my tests it should be working fine now.
-- adding help_browser.py to show help for installed scripts;
-- updated scripts to include basic doc info to be shown with above script:
script authors can / will / should update with more info, of course;
-- updated some scripts to newer versions: disp_paint, fixfromarmature, hotkeys, etc.
- small updates to the docs;
- Object: small fix to getMatrix: check during_script() to avoid undesired loops; added old behavior (pre 2.34) as option: .getMatrix('oldlocal');
- tentative fix for bug #1275: scene REDRAW scriptlinks were not being executed (the call to do so was missing):
http://projects.blender.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1275&group_id=9&atid=125
added the call in drawview.c, in drawview3dspace(). This causes the scriptlink to be called for each visible view3d, but that's what happens with object redraw scriptlinks, too. Anyway, this is still a test. The place was chosen based on the idea that a scene redraw scriptlink is like an object redraw one, but for all objs in the scene at once.
- Window.Theme: new submodule, to get/set theme options in Blender;
- Added the script save_theme.py (Help menu for now), to save the current theme in Blender as an executable script (currently shown in the Scripts->Misc menu).
There's more work to do for themes, like defining a proper place for them in the interface, adding documentation (for now the added script and the ones it generates can give a pretty good idea of how to use the new module), probably extending themes to support SpaceScript and so on.
Scripts:
Campbell Barton (Ideasman, thanks) updated his Wavefront OBJ importer.
BPython:
- Finally committed pending contributions:
Chris Keith wrote the Blender.Sound module -- still some testing to do this week;
Joseph (joeedh) added the OnLoad scene script event;
Satish Goda added 6 GLU functions to Blender.BGL. Great additions, thanks all!
- Small changes to Blender.Load (leave editmode as Blender wants) and Window.EditMode (allow definition of "undo string");
- Fixed bug #1539: Window.RedrawAll() crashed Blender if an empty spacescript was available while using it in a gui-less script.
- doc updates.
Scripts:
- Jean-Michel Soler probably lost some hours of sleep since Sunday,
but he managed to send me the updated path import scripts a few
hours ago. My tests with Inkscape .svg and .ps and Gimp worked fine.
He also tested a lot and sent me info about what is already
supported. I'll send Ton a doc about bundled scripts including this
info. Importers: .ai, .svg, .eps/.ps, Gimp 1-1.2.5 / 2.0.
- Jean-Michel also contributed his Texture Baker script.
- Campbell Barton contributed two new scripts: a mesh cleaner and a
vloop skinning / lofting script. He also sent updates to his obj
import / export ones.
- A Vanpoucke (xand) contributed his Axis Orientation Copy script.
And that makes 8 last minute additions. Thanks a lot to the authors
and special thanks to JMS and Campbell for their hard work : ).
BPython:
- tiny addition (I'm forced to call it a showstopper bug ;) so JMS's
path import scripts (that actually convert to obj and make Blender
load the .obj curves) can use Blender.Load() and not rename G.sce,
the default filename. Blender.Load(filename, 1) doesn't update G.sce.
Nothing should break because of this, Load(filename) still works fine.
- Made Blender complain again if script is for a newer Blender version than the one running it.
- making Blender not warn about 2.34 scripts, as Ton requested. Will turn this on again before release;
- small fix to the new helpwebsites and helpsystem additions in BPy_menus.c, should solve problem reported by Jean-Luc Peurière about empty menus on startup;
- updated version info of a few scripts to 2.34, since they use recently added bpython api functions.
Thanks to Willian for integrating the webbrowser module.
Some of the URLs (Python reference, Release notes) will
need to be updated upon release. These are contained in
http://www.blender3d.org/Help/index.php
- Campbell Barton updated his sel_same.py script;
- Added to Mesh scripts a call to Window.EditMode(0) to leave editmode before changing meshes.
BPython:
- small doc fixes / updates;
- added a call to undo_push_mesh inside Window.EditMode(0).
Mesh scripts could change the mesh but not the editmesh -- that would then overwrite the changed mesh. Made all mesh scripts leave edit mode before changing a mesh.
- Ben Omari sent an update version of his DirectX8.py, Jean-Michel Soler updated his disp_paint.py and Campbell Barton contributed a new one: sel_same.py (for now it's in the UV menu). Thanks all, great scripts;
- small updates in some other scripts.
BPython:
- Finished wrapping radiosity functions for the Radio submodule;
- doc updates.
- new submodule Scene.Radio, for radiosity: still incomplete, but in shape for demos, updated SConscript to include it;
- new functions in Window module;
- doc updates: adding a todo file and a new start page for our docs: API_intro.py + other updates;
- small fix in Ipo.c provided by Damien McGuinnes (thanks!): Nathan has a patch with IPO additions and fixes for this and more, but until it is committed, there's this fix for Ipo.getCurve('LocX'), LocY, Z and QuatW,X,Y,Z too, according to Damien.
Other files:
- radpreprocess.c: added check for "during_script()" so eventual msgs don't popup during scripts;
- drawmesh.c: made a pointer (display list) be checked before accessed, fixes crash in scripts that forget to update display lists for subsurf meshes when a 3d view is in textured view mode.
Script: updated bevel_center by Loic Berthe.
- added image.getBindCode() docstring to Image's epydoc file (thanks Satish Goda).
Scripts:
- Adding Apply_def.py to "Mesh" scripts menu (thanks author: Theeth);
- Updating JMS's disp_paint.py (also changed its name to remove version info);
- minor updates in docs and scripts.
- added submenu "Scripts" in both View3D->Object and Mesh menus.
Put them on top (it's better to follow some guideline, so users don't have to search for "Scripts" submenu in a different position in each menu), feel free to change.
- added button 'previous win' to SpaceScript, makes accessing buttons win, for example, much faster. Maybe all spaces could have this button.
BPython:
- added Window.EditMode(), to check, enter and leave edit mode. Scripts that change mesh data need this to leave edit mode before making changes to the active (G.obedit) mesh, of course.
- updated script bevel_center to use the above function and also popup an error msg if the active obj is not a mesh.
- doc updates, minor fixes.
Forgot to mention in my previous commit that I also updated the "-P" command-line option (for running script files) to be able to run already loaded Blender Texts, too. So, if you have a script called 'Text' in foo.blend, you can run it with blender foo.blend -P Text .
- hotkeys, obdatacopier and renameobjectbyblock, all from Jean-Michel Soler (jms);
- bevel_center by Loic Berthe, suggested for inclusion by jms;
- doc_browser, by Daniel Dunbar (Zr)
Thanks to them for the new contributions!
(I included doc_browser at 'Misc' because only users interested in script writing would actually use it, but it could also be under 'Help'. Opinions?)
BPython related:
- Added scriptlink methods to object, lamp, camera and world.
- Object: added object.makeTrack and object.clearTrack (old track method).
- sys: made sys.exists(path) return 0 for not found; 1 for file, 2 for dir and -1 for neither.
- doc updates and fixes.
- made ONLOAD event work. G.f's SCENESCRIPT bit was being zeroed in set_app_data.
- Blender: updated functions Load and Save to support the builtin importers and exporters besides .blend (dxf, videoscape, vrml 1.0, stl, ...)
- Draw: added mouse wheel events.
- Scene: added scene.play to play back animations (like ALT+A and SHIFT+ALT+A). Makes a good counter, too, when the 'win' attribute is set to a space that doesn't "animate".
The scene.play() addition and the fix to ONLOAD scriptlinks is part of the work for a Blender demo mode. It already works, but I'll still add support for Radiosity calculations and fix a thing in main(): it executes onload scripts too early (BIF_Init), giving funny results in alt+a animations and renderings when firing up Blender. Loading after the program is up has no such problems. When I finish I'll post examples of demo mode scripts.
- Added KlopUtils by Carlos Lopez and Batch Object Name Edit by Campbell Barton (thanks both!)
BPython:
- Fixed things I recently broke in Blender.sys, added Blender.sys.join(dir, file)
- doc and other minor updates
- Added function Blender.Save(filename) to save .blend files.
- Added scriptlink-related methods (get, clear, add) to Scene and Materials. Will still add method remove and add these methods to World, Object, Camera and Lamp.
- Updates and small fixes in docs.
Campbell Barton updated his Wavefront OBJ scripts and Ben Omari updated his DirectX 7 and 8 ones (thanks both). The other listed scripts had minor updates to accomodate the menu changes.
- Scripts in menus:
renamed Tools to Object, Generators to Add, and Modifiers to Mesh (Metaball, Curve, Surface can be added later), to integrate better in the interface.
- Fixed a bug in Blender.sys.makename: last letter of file extension was being cut out.
PupStrInput, a wrapper for the Blender String popup (thanks!)
- Fixed bug #1374 reported by Gabriel Beloin (gabio, thanks too):
http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=125&aid=1374&group_id=9
There was a minor mistake in the import menu: vrml called dxf and vice-versa and shortcuts were wrong (removed them).
- Doc updates, minor updates elsewhere.
Wim Van Hoydonck contributed the famous Knife script (put under Modifiers group) developed by Stefano Selleri and himself (thank to both!)
- Added helper function Blender.sys.makename, updated docs and script ac3d_export to use it (shall update other exporters too):
this function is just a simple helper to format a filename as needed (change extension, strip dirname, it defaults to use G.sce as path).
- Added a test method: Blender.Scene.getScriptlinks(eventName):
just testing, if this path proves useful other functions will be added and made general, for objects, etc.
* Added items for importing DXF, VRML, etc. in the File->Import menu, that just call the normal Open function. Most people don't even know that you can open these formats through the normal Open fileselect, so this will make it more obvious.
* Removed the 'Export Selected' menu, and put poor old lonely STL in the Import and Export menus too. Most of the exporters export only the selected object anyway, so it's not really a necessary distinction to make.
- added function Blender.sys.exists(path) to check if a given file exists;
- forgot to mention: in my previous commit the blender.html file was also updated slightly.
- tiny updates for better behavior, unix line endings, cvs Id tags;
- Updated DX7 exporter (thanks to author Ben Omari who's also working on a DX8 one);
- added sysinfo script;
Interface (scripts):
- changed behavior for which win is chosen for script guis:
Now there's a smarter order, guis will use either:
- Scripts win
- Buttons win (if not a script from groups Wizards or Utils)
- Text win
- Closest bigger area
- Added a button to the scripts header so that it's faster to return to the buttons win (this can be made general), if that was the previous win used.
-starting updates and new additions for Blender 2.34:
Some of the new scripts require Python modules not builtin with Blender, so you either need a full Python install or the needed extra modules. This is an ongoing work, there should be more scripts, better testing and also proper ways to tell users they don't have all expected modules. It's expected that Win users won't need full Python installs, since we can provide a minimal zip with the needed modules from 2.34 on.
Thanks to Anthony D'Agostino (scorpius), Jean-Michel Soler (jms) and Campbell Barton (Cam / ideasman) for donating the scripts now added / updated.
BPython:
-added two new script menu groups: Tools and Utils. We still need to find places elsewhere in the gui where the groups can be put.
in the UV/Image editor 'UVs' menu
Script authors can use:
Group: 'UV'
in the headers of their scripts to let them appear in
this menu.
* Updated the UV Face Layout script to reside in the UVs
menu, rather than the (incorrect) File->Export menu.
- tiny harmless change in module Blender.Material's *doc*.
Aphex: tested your fix for windows (thank you -- and Bill Baxter for reporting):
It doesn't break anything here (linux). So probably no need for #ifdef's.
