Several things in one commit; could not split this up easily,
one job invoked another, and so on. :)
- Added pulldowns for save/load .blend file in top bar.
- To enable "Save" without further popups (save over)
I've added a signaling function in window header to
indicate a succesful save.
- On any undo push it now signals 'file changed'. This
goes by notifiers nicely, but now registers only the
undopushes, which is quite unreliable. "Changed" state
shows in header as "Blender*" and for OSX with the
standard close button black dot.
- Made screencast show a button in top bar indicating such,
and allowing quit. No hotkey for quit yet... but ESC will
keep casting now.
- Fixed new BLF_init(), which should be in WM_init() and not
on any .B.blend read.
- Fixed CTRL+F3 "Save Screenshot", which was still using old
fileselect code.
was not recalculating the knots when the cyclic flag was disabled so the endpoint flag was being ignored until recalculating (extrude for eg).
Also removed unneeded re-allocation of curve knots which are always reallocated by makeknots.
Fixed another bug with which recalculating knots with the Python surface api. (mixed up u/v args to makeknots(..) )
******
added a ARMATURE_OT_bone_add operator, ita generic operator to add a bone it behaves the same way as the old add bone (making a bone not set the tail but have it selected), commiting this so other add bone ops like add bonre pinative or making new armature
* Added Particle wrapping patch by Roelf de Kock. It's not
complete yet and I haven't reviewed it, but committing anyway,
will get to it later.
* Added "Percentage" subtype for floats. Doesn't really do
much besides making auto rna buttons into sliders rather than
numeric inputs, but can later display in % rather than 0.0-1.0.
* With one item in ID databrowse list, you couldn't activate it.
* Render result without render image now displays grid at size
according to render settings again.
them nicely repeatable, and splitting up the big edit_text
operator into individual operator so it's all nicely scriptable,
documented, configurable, etc..
* Insert Text, Line Break, Insert Lorem
* Toggle Case, Set Case, Toggle Style, Set Style, Set Material
* Copy Text, Cut Text, Paste Text, Paste File, Paste Buffer
* Move, Move Select, Delete
* Change Spacing, Change Character
Notes
* Text (datablock) to Object doesn't work yet, will need to
implement text editor context for that.
* Some shortcut keys don't work because screen/wm overrides them,
ctrl+x, ctrl+left/right. That override goes top down which works
well for some cases, but here we need to override in the other
direction.
* There's no unicode support in RNA, or the user interface code
for that matter, but text strings can contain these characters.
At the moment it stores a UTF-8 string in char arrays, which is
supposed to be nicely compatible with ascii. Seems reasonable to
add support for UTF-8 in the interface code, python bindings, ..
eventually?
I change the #if 0 with #if WITH_FREETYPE2, also fix a lot of typos, etc.
This is the basic but now it draw text!!, I am using the "User Preference"
space to test the library, nobody is working on that and the option are
in the outliner now so...
TODO-next: using the 4x4 mat, string size, bounding box, aspect and rotate.
Notes: I update the Makefile, missing some include and other things so
maybe scons, cmake and msvc also need update ?
Fix for the 'repeat last operator' option. It didn't work yet well
outside editmode. Now undo/redo has to fully keep the UI alive,
even when called from within a running popup.
Another fix: when regions collapse/hide they were not effectively
disabled, still accepting events. (like Nkey in 3d window).
Bugfix: passing on uninitialized var to a function made msvc halt.
Strange that gcc didnt complain :)
Brecht: check if this 'a' was needed as counter or so?
Node/Composite tinkering:
- titles in headers and on collapsed nodes back
- backdrop option draws again (no scroll operator yet)
- added preview option in blur, filter and mix nodes.
Just for fun while working :) Probably every node
should get this...
Small fixes for filewindow;
- on resize area/window, the load button disappeared.
- made scrollers indicate what direction works
- mousewheel scroll switches to horizontal automatically now
(assuming we keep filelists horiz, previews vertical scrolled)
View2d got hacked a bit by me for it; i guess for some cases
the scroll value should become customizable. Will come back
later!
NOTE: upon further testing, quick-record-animation feature does not work with auto-ik yet. Although it would be desireable to have, it is not a priority at this point, since adding that would require a bit of reworking of that code for something it wasn't intended for.
- Auto-IK works again now.
- Quick-animate feature works with Auto-IK now.
- Also disabled the checks for existing animation data for this, making it easier to use/discover. At least we've got undo to cover for the cases where the user didn't intend to do this.
To use, simply enable Auto-Keyframing and start the animation playback from the TimeLine.
Then at any time while the playback is still running (and Auto-Keyframing is still enabled), select any object/bone and start moving it around.
You can also select other objects/bones and move them around using standard transform tools (grab/rotate/scale), or exit transform for the active/selected object(s), and move on to other objects instead. Repeat until satisfactory!
This is similar to the old 'Record IPO' functionality (and/or is closer to the 'Mouse Recording' in 3DSMax), except it's much cooler, and is more flexible at the same time. It's
"good for quick and dirty tests, or things with timing, where it's easier to do it real time" - William Reynish, or "handycam effect or eyes animation" - Pepeland.
Additional Notes:
- for now, the objects that are used for this currently need some animation data already. This limitation is temporary.
- eventually, 'samples' (i.e. baked-data) not keyframes will be made by this tool as samples are more suitable for such large sets of densely spaced points
removed HDR loop that loaded 8bit color channels (which was incorrect)
and added a call to IMB_rect_from_float at the end.
This also means that char buffers wont be created if they are not needed.
Patch from Arystan Dyussenov (A624), two operators for armatures;
- select hierarchy up/down, using bracket [ ] with or without
shift, and for editmode and posemode.
Good work, thanks!
And a popup block with python callback with bpyui.pupBlock, beginBlock, popupBoundsBlock and endBlock funcions.
These functions should not be accessed by scripters directly.
Some small fixes:
- handler operator exec gave too quick a warning for invalid area
(set area context to NULL is OK :)
- 4-split 3D view with clip option didn't reset clip when 4-split
was disabled
- creating a new 3d view didn't initialize buttons region correct.
Proper integration of File-selecting in WM. The communication
flow was flawed. :) Main problem was that filewindow can change
the screen context entirely, and should not do this directly on
a call inside an operator. Another problem was that the operator
ownership was handed over to SpaceFile, which is asking for
problems if you want to execute the operator with proper context
later on.
Solution is simple; window handlers already are valid owners of
operators and can manage context, so instead of directly talking
to the 'file space', you give the operator to a new handler this
way:
WM_event_add_fileselect(C, op);
This handler then listens to events (OPEN, EXEC, CANCEL) sent
by the WM or by the filewindow itself. This way local context
operators (like "open new image in imagewindow") will survive
a full-window fileselector fine, and in future also secondary
windows browsing files.
Two bugfixes included in this commit too:
- Add sequence menus in Sequencer used wrong context.
- When handler executes operators, it sets stored context now
by first checking if this is still valid.
In this commit, I've experimented with the way in which F-Curve names (seen in DopeSheet/Graph Editor) are put together.
Now, F-Curve names are assembled in the form:
<array-index> <property-name> (<struct-name>)
i.e. "X Location (Bone)", "Y Location (Object)"
"Specularity (VeryLongMaterialName)", etc.
The goal of this experiment was to hopefully make it quicker to do a left-margin scan and identify the defining differences between closely related F-Curves.
- This has the benefit of no (potential) need for horizontal scrolling back and forth to see and compare the end portions of names, and also to avoid the important parts of the name getting pushed out of the standard viewable area by some owner-struct long names.
- The downside is the loss of the clear hierarchial layout closely related to the RNA-paths used internally, that was provided by the old method. Also, this method also looks rather awkward on first glance, but if it improves efficiency of use, why not :)
* giving compileflags, cc_compileflags and cxx_compileflags to BlenderLib() now actually overrides any other setting (so there's no unclarity when ie. conflicting options are being specified in REL_CFLAGS et al). These are set after either release or debug flags, but before any *_WARN flags (so those stay maintained).
* add cxx_compileflags for GE parts on win32-vc to have better performance.
* NOTE: if platform maintainers (OSX and Linux) could check and do the same for their systems. Not vital, but probably very, very much welcomed by GE users.
