It also changes multi-paint's "zero weight color" to black again--it was unintentionally changed to red some time late last year when an aspect of the colors were changed.
========================
The linear and angular thresholds set the speed limit (in m/s) and rotation limit (in rad/s)
under which a rigid body will go to sleep (stop moving) if it stays below the limits for a
time equal or longer than the deactivation time (sleeping is disabled is deactivation time is
set to 0).
These settings help reducing the processing spent on Physics during the game.
Previously they were only accessible from python but not working because of a bug.
Now the python functions are working and the settings are available in the Physics panel
of the World settings when using the Blender Game render engine.
Python API:
import PhysicsConstraints
PhysicsConstraints.setDeactivationLinearTreshold(float)
PhysicsConstraints.setDeactivationAngularTreshold(float)
OUTLINER_OT_parent_drop
* use scene of child instead of active scene
* poll to check if parent and child are in same scene
OUTLINER_OT_parent_clear
* get scene from child instead of only working on active scene
* poll to check if no parent
OUTLINER_OT_scene_drop && OBJECT_OT_make_links_scene
* memory leak on error
* would only link some objects on error
available devices]
- could happen when having laptops with a hard switch between video
cards (intel/NVidia switch)
- or when an opencl platform was installed on a machine without any
OpenCL compatible GPU
* Remove all code for Texture and Sequencer plugin system, this never worked in 2.5x / 2.6x and is therefore not needed anymore.
* DNA structures are kept, all read/writefile code is gone.
Parenting was just broken, poll would return true but nothing would happen if you dropped on modifiers or constraints
Parent clear now works the same as dropping on a non-ID_OB types but left the actual modifier/contraint instances open to allow for future expansion
===============================================
This patch adds a new "Character" BGE physics type which uses Bullet's btKinematicCharacter for simulation instead of full-blown dynamics. It is appropiate for (player-controlled) characters, for which the other physics types often result unexpected results (bouncing off walls, sliding etc.) and for which simple kinematics offers much more precision.
"Character" can be chosen like any other physics type in the "Physics" section of the properties window. Current settings for tweaking are "Step Height" (to make the object automatically climb small steps if it collides with them), "Fall Speed" (the maximum speed that the object can have when falling) and "Jump Speed", which is currently not used.
See http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=127&aid=28476&group_id=9
for sample blends and a discussion on the patch: how to use it and what influences the behavior of the character object.
Known problem: there is a crash if the "compound" option is set in the physics panel of the Character object.
