Set preferred method in userprefs->language & font.
Kinda requested by Kaito, i'm sure he regrets after seeing
my code changes.
This commit includes a patch provided by Jacques Baurain,
which seemed nescessary to handle font sizing properly.
Thank you !
This commit replaces the glDrawPixels and rectwrite_part with the very
nice (thanks zr!) glaDrawPixelsSafe() call. Result is:
- 3d window background image displays correctly onto the edges when
zoomed in extreme
- same for UV image window and sequence preview
- preview render now doesnt disappear when left part is outside window
(zr also deserves kick in butt for not doing this himself in NaN days!)
Especially from preview drawing quite some old hacks were deleted. It is
even quite some faster.
Please notify me when it doesnt work on your card... this now is just 100%
according opengl guidelines though :)
Also fixes bug #2100
Render:
- New; support for dual CPU render (SDL thread)
Currently only works with alternating scanlines, but gives excellent
performance. For both normal render as unified implemented.
Note the "mutex" locks on z-transp buffer render and imbuf loads.
- This has been made possible by major cleanups in render code, especially
getting rid of globals (example Tin Tr Tg Tb Ta for textures) or struct
OSA or using Materials or Texture data to write to.
- Made normal render fully 4x32 floats too, and removed all old optimizes
with chars or shorts.
- Made normal render and unified render use same code for sky and halo
render, giving equal (and better) results for halo render. Old render
now also uses PostProcess options (brightness, mul, gamma)
- Added option ("FBuf") in F10 Output Panel, this keeps a 4x32 bits buffer
after render. Using PostProcess menu you will note an immediate re-
display of image too (32 bits RGBA)
- Added "Hue" and "Saturation" sliders to PostProcess options
- Render module is still not having a "nice" API, but amount of dependencies
went down a lot. Next todo: remove abusive "previewrender" code.
The last main global in Render (struct Render) now can be re-used for fully
controlling a render, to allow multiple "instances" of render to open.
- Renderwindow now displays a smal bar on top with the stats, and keeps the
stats after render too. Including "spare" page support.
Not only easier visible that way, but also to remove the awkward code that
was drawing stats in the Info header (extreme slow on some ATIs too)
- Cleaned up blendef.h and BKE_utildefines.h, these two had overlapping
defines.
- I might have forgotten stuff... and will write a nice doc on the architecture!
#define B_UNLINKIMA 1358
Since it was undefined and causing things not to compile. Whoever added it
might want to move it but hey its working again for now. ;)

When choosing "render engine" in Scene Buttons, the newly added or removed
Panels didn't invoke a re-alignment event yet.
Also added code that inserts new panels as good as possible on their
previous locations. This works reliable for 1 new panel, not for more, this
because a Panel only stores its old location, not the locations of all
Panels in a given configuration. Consider that minor issue...
On large changes of the Lattice resolution button, the undopush crashed.
Reason was that the push happened for buttons before the actual event for
buttons was executed.
Solved by creating new event UNDOPUSH that's being added to the queue by
by buttons now.
- Made button undo texts for number buttons more clear
- Added undo push for missing Add lamp/empty/lattice/camera
- Deformed mesh didnt give correct 'orco' anymore on render
- Mesh editmode, "Separate loose parts", crash on empty mesh (no verts)
- Global undo; buttons sending redraw events gave extra undo push called
"Make single user or local". That latter was wrong event handling for
REDRAW event, harmless, until now :)
First one is a real showstopper... bah!
compiled in (datatoc) and doesn't need installation anymore.
Also reviewed weird path conventions for searching AA fonts;
- U.fontdir is only used as standard search path for fileselecting
- U.fontname stores only full path to AA font if used one
- If a font cannot be found, it always falls back to the compiled in one
- If .B.blend is saved with default font, U.fontname is not set
Also added a button in usermenu "restore default".
When this works as expected, I'll commit changes for installation too.
- The function "convex()" in editmesh_lib() actually did not deliver
a proper test for convex at all. It was checking only if a quad could
be subdivided into 2 trias. Code for adding face (FKEY) used this
call in total confusing manner. That code was there in 1.40 already,
cannot find any clue what it was supposed todo... :)
Recoded convex() to deliver a proper test. FKEY will give warning on
attempt to make convex faces now.
- Added undo-free for editmode undo on file load
- Curve Join now moves all curves to 2D (if its 2D)
- FGon extrude keeps FGon flags correctly
- After Append undo-push added
- In almost all Ipo editing commands; undo-push added
- Icons in outliner now all consistant grey
- Zoffs button had to 20 high (hmetal :)
- Individual faces
Keeps Mesh manifold, so removes old faces always. Also uses a
transform based on different vectors per vertex.
- Only edges
Just extrudes the edges (not really 'individual', the edges still
share the vertices. Uses same transform as normal extrude for that
reason
- Only Vertices
Uses normal transform after extrude
Also changed code a bit, to detect whether to call a normal-based
transform after extrude, or whether to call normal grabber. For example
when you just extrude 1 edge, it uses normal grabber.
Note; extruding an entire sphere goes OK with 'individual faces'. for
other extrudes you should press 's key' when in transform. Just cannot
predict (yet) when one method has preference over another.
selection already is 2 triangles, it should create a new face but
remove the old triangles. It actually calls the 'ALT+J' command then
(join triangles)
While testing found out more cases where new selection flags were not
properly used (join trias, beauty fill, flip edges, rotate edges)
adds new features for indenting and commenting.
Note: I am not sure if the best menu spot for these features
is under the Select menu, but we can argue about that later.
They do work on a selection, though.
from the mailing list post:
1&2. Added Indent/Unindent under Edit->Select
just select the text you want to indent and go to the menu (
note if nothing is selected Indent will just indent ( tab )
the line the line )
3&4. Added Comment/Uncomment to the same menu
same applies as above
5. Added Tab setting on the menu bar in text editor
Sets the number of spaces a tab ==
changing the setting will change the hole script
6. Added Auto indent
when you hit enter it goes to the next line at the same
tab number and the line above it ( needs more testing and input)
Since color is stored RGB only in Blender, the conversion from and to HSV
causes values to be clipped all the time.
Solution found is adding a persistant hsv storage to the uiBut struct, and
have it working on that only while hsv button is open. Still, after usage
(leaving picker) the conversion will change values to rgb.
Also added; redraw event for editing buttons, to show correct changed
color while using nkey picker
When you PAD-enter on a popup-number button (like for add circle) it
accidentally de/increased the value before assigning an "OK". Fixed.
Also: restored functionality that allows to use Enter keys as a mouse
button click. This de/increases values now, opens menus, etc. Not in
pupup or pulldown menus though!
Made extrude along normals more sane. Now behave like a move along an arbitrary axis (including Ctrl/Shift applications and typemode). Also prints "Along faces normal" in the header, to tell the user what's happening.
- Rename!
CTRL+leftmouse click on name, makes it a text button. Works for all items as
currently being displayed.
Most work was doing the Bones, which is a nightmare :) But it uses same
code as buttons in Armature-Editmode now, without even needing EditMode :)
When renaming a bone, the Outliner makes the Object active though.
- PageUp / PageDown keys
Do what you expect.
As a means to indicate items in the Outliner to do operations on, you can
select with RMB items. Works like FileSelect here. Since selection in
Outliner is only on outliner level, no further UI updates happen. That is
reserved for LMB actions.
Implemented right now are only few operations... they can be called up with
the WKEY (the famous spare key :)
- if objects selected, a menu appears with choices
- if materials or textures selected, a meny appears to unlink them
If you make mixed or confusing selections you get a warning message.
TODO: add selection color in theme, and of course more operations.
- added Images in overview
- added Scripts in overview, if clicked it makes it active in open Text
Window
- Padplus/Padminus keys now open one level deeper or less
- fix: Akey didn't really open all...
- fix: click on item of non-active scene, activates new scene
- Added in pulldown the current view commands, including the 'show
hierachy' option, which shows only the full object tree
- You now can activate data by clicking on the hidden icons (displayed in
a row of a collapsed item)
- Added selection and display of active NLA strips
- Cleanup; white text in outliner only for active object
- Made hierachy helplines 1 pixel wide and black, looks nicer
- Made visualization of object hierarchy more clear with lines; this
solves the sometimes confusing mix of 'children objects' and
'linked data'.
- Enter editmode on click, also shows editing context buttons
- SHIFT+click on a item closes/opens all below that item
- Added constraints and Hooks (watch fun icon!)
Note; global undo doesnt restore former view for outliner... it does not
save the GUI, remember? :)
(i tried sort 'by type', but thats very unclear... need think over)
- Vertex Groups are visualized in Outliner (and selectable)
- Armature Bones are visualized & editable too
In general; Outliner now also supports indirect data (Structs with no ID)
- changed weirdo NLA icon into something that makes sense. (Thnx sten!)
- enter/exit posemode now updates outliner view too
- New: outliner option "Show same type". Shows only object types as
current active one. Nice to browse all lamps, mballs, armatures, etc
The outliner is a hierarchical diagram displaying a list of data in Blender
and its dependencies. The 'databrowse' doesn't really show it, and Oops is
too chaotic still. And most of all, the former two don't offer much tools.
After discussions on irc, Matt came with this design proposal;
http://mke3.net/blender/interface/layout/outliner/
Which is closely followed for the implementation.
The current version only shows all 'library data' in Blender (objects,
meshes, ipos, etc) and not the 'direct data' such as vertex groups or NLA.
I decided to make it inside the Oopw window, as an option. You can find the
option in the "View" pulldown, or directly invoke it with ALT+SHIFT+F9
Here's a quick overview of the Outliner GUI:
- Header pulldown has options what it can show (Visible = in current layers)
- click on triangle arrow to open/close
- press AKEY to open/close all
- Leftmouse click on an item activates; and does based on type a couple of
extra things:
- activates a scene
- selects/activates the Object
- enters editmode (if clicked on Mesh, Curve, etc)
- shows the appropriate Shading buttons (Lamp, Material, Texture)
- sets the IpoWindow to the current IPO
- activates the Ipo-channel in an Action
- Selected and Active objects are drawn in its Theme selection color
- SHIFT+click on Object does extend-select
- Press DOTkey to get the current active data in center of view
TODO;
- rightmouse selection; for indicating operations like delete or duplicate
- showing more data types
- icon (re)design...
- lotsof options as described in Matts paper still...
If backbuffer is in use for selection codes, the system switches back to
frontbuffer drawing temporally. Is easier solution now.
Next commit; fix for new 'zbuffer clipped selection', which also doesnt
work after using a pulldown or popup menu.
----- Killed UI frontbuffer draw
The interface toolkit was drawing all live updates (while using menus/buttons)
in the frontbuffer. This isn't well supported cross-platform, so time to be
killed once. Now it uses *only* glReadPixels and glCopyPixels for frontbuffer
access.
Live updates or menus now are drawn in backbuffer always, and copied to
front when needed.
NOTE: it was tested, but needs thorough review! On PC systems I suspects
backbuffer selection to screw up (check!). On SGI/SUN workstations it
should work smooth; but I need evidence
----- Smaller fixes;
- AA fonts were garbled on ATI systems. Now the AA fonts are drawn exact
on pixel positions. Needs the new FTGL libb too, patch is on maillist
- Rounded theme uses antialiased outlines
- Pulldown and popup menus have nice softshadow now
- New button type 'PULLDOWN', thats the one that callsup a pulldown menu.
Should be added to themes, as is the full menu/pulldown drawing
- Screendump for 1 window does the full window now, including header
- Empty pulldowns (for example running blender without scripts) give no
drawing error anymore
For review & fun;
- added curved lines as connectors, for Oops window
Meaning menus come back to previous selection almost always. Also fixed
annoying bug that caused Mirror menu (M in editmode) to start at 2nd item
- New hotkey (test :) CTRL+TAB in editmode gives (and shows!) current
selectmode. I prefer this over cycling, since the menu is informing you
what happens.
- To enforce pupmenus to start at specific item, use pupmenu_set_active()
- pupmenu_col() to be done
actually, adding vertices and edges to displist.
Now the subsurfer gives editvertices a pointer to the subsurfed vertex
location; allowing not only vertices in 'optimal' draw to show correct, but
also gives proper handling of borderselect and lasso for edges. :)
Is committed now for further test;
What works:
- Hold CTRL while leftmouse-draw (gesture) for lasso-select
- Hold also SHIFT for lasso-deselect
- In Object mode it only selects on object centers now
- In Mesh edit mode it works on same level as borderselect
Not:
- other editmodes or objects in general
Also fixed crash with circle-selecting outside of window edge.
Also put back wire-extra draw for curves (previous trial broke mball wire)
Turned borderselect, circle, lasso into dashed lines for visual language.
