This was a two-part bug: a user error + API error.
* User Error: before calling bpy.ops.constraint.childof_set_inverse()
for a constraint defined on a bone, you firstly need to explicitly
make that bone the active bone. To do that, you do
armature.bones.active = posebone.bone # or something similar
* API Error: active bone setting was a bit too strict. It only allows
setting the active bone if the new bone comes from the same armature,
but was overlooking the fact that RNA pointers may have been created
through the object using the armature instead.
In 2.49 we had this implemented in the logic_windows.c. I think I skipped this when porting the new UI. I probably didn't know how to do it back then or was waiting for something. Anyhoo, it's all good now.
For the records, the Logic Bricks that I haven't gone over to make sure everything is 100% are:
Filter 2D, Constraints and Animation (action, shapekey, fcurve)
I'm going over them this week, so the Logic Bricks are close to receive a "revisited review check-up" ISO 9000 :)
New bump code: option "Texture space" only works for image textures.
It appears this option is some kind of "fake normal map" actually.
Needs nicer name... maybe "Image space".
Now it ignores the option when no image texture is used.
UI bug: when a button has an open menu, the menu closed on any
mouse-over of other buttons in this panel. That's not too bad,
but it didn't check for whether the mouse was already inside the
menu itself (respecting safety region).
The bug showed error on zoomed in UI, using FPS presets, in case
the menu-button was drawing aligned with other buttons. A real
boundary case... :)
.blend1 etc backups.
Proves again that lazy coders only make bad code :)
Implementation note:
The filewindow now recoginizes .blend version backups as
a special type, so filtering for .blend files themselves
ignores it. However, they're recognized correctly as valid
.blend files, and draw an icon as .blend file when filtering
is off. Can become a distinct icon if we want...
older GLSL versions (< 1.3)
Thanks Matthew M:
- adding mat3 from ma4 function
- removal of transpose()
And I've hacked in myself a textureSize() replacement, the image
size gets passed on to function now.
oldbump -> original
newbump -> compatible
*new* -> default (3tap)
*new* -> best quality (5tap)
the latter two have an option to apply bumpmapping in
viewspace - much like displacement mapping
objectspace - default (scales with the object)
texturespace - much like normal mapping (scales)
* Caching of the start and end stills were just referencing the original imbuf (which got premultiplied after the caching), so as a result most of the time the premul was applied twice.
* Now the start and end stills are stored in the cache as duplicates of the original (non modified) imbuf.
disable getattr metaclass forwarding attributes from the python class, eg:
bpy.types.Scene.foo != bpy.types.Scene.bl_rna.properties['foo']
... This was convenient but too tricky to properly maintain with attribute assignment and attributes defined within the class.
avoid doubles in dir() by converting to a set and then back to a list.
they have some rotation-affecting constraint (i.e. Track To and Copy
Rotation) targetting, transforming the objects (directly, using GKEY
-> grab) becomes unreliable.
This was caused by a typo in some code checking for some
OB_NO_CONSTRAINTS under "flag" instead of "transflag"
For Constraints, there's now a working "Local" Space for Objects
without parents. This is defined as relative to the object's rotated
set of axes which results from rotation that gets set via "rotation"
transform properties.
I'm not sure whether this different behaviour between parented and
unparented objects will be too confusing (and thus require separate
settings + a round of version patching), so I'll wait until we get
proper testing from experienced riggers first.
