- Generated and uploaded api docs - http://www.blender.org/documentation/250PythonDoc
- Added Edit docs menu item & operators as discussed with Mindrones, Brecht, Stani & Letterip @ bconf, needs some web backend. python operator can aparently use xml/rpc to upload docstrings.
- Added operator invoke function - context.manager.invoke_props_popup(self.__operator__, event)
this calls a popup for invoke by default (which intern calls execute())
- Own recent commit to game framing applied to non-camera views too.
- v3d->persp is deprecated but still used in some places.
- Transforming strips could overlap 1 frame if moving them below frame 0
- Transforming overlapping strips could go into an eternal loop (though overlapping strips should not exist)
a system crash and other issues on ATI/Apple, due to a buggy driver
(similar issues reported for other OpenGL applications). For now, work
around it by not using non-power-of-two textures on this combination.
* Added Shading and Performance panels in the scene buttons,
containing the options previously in the 2.4x game menu.
* Added show framerate/debug/physics/warnings back in game menu.
* Moved these settings from G.fileflags to scene GameData.
* Enabled Display Lists by default.
* Some other small game scene button tweaks.
* Clean up File menu, added back recover last session op.
* .blend compress now behaves a bit different, previously
it would only respect the user preference. Now it saves
existing files the same way they are saved, and new files
following the user preference. The save operator has a
Compress toggle in the file browser left panels now.
* Add menu working again, some fixes to make these operators
work outside the 3d view were needed.
* Timeline menu removed, its contents will be moved to the
timeline header menus.
* Game menu can now start game, changed the start game op
to choose another 3d view if none is available.
* Render menu has a few items now.
* Help menu contains a few links again.
(it's the 3rd commit in a row. But as they say, the 3rd is always a charm ;)
I still think we have a little mess with the DEFINE parameters in BGE (as in RAS_IRasterizer::StereoMode).
We used to have them duplicated and hardcoded in 2.4xx, but I think we can do it in another way now.
(I didn't change gameplayer, but I can do it once we have it linking and building properly)
Logic Panel:
- world settings (moved from world)
... that includes physic engine selection + gravity
- game player (from gamesettings, it wasn't wrapped)
- stereo/dome (from gamesettings, it wasn't wrapped)
... separated stereom into stereoflag and stereomode
- properties
... (didn't touch it)
Buttons Game Panel:
(wip panel)
- Physics (moved from Logic Panel)
... it will be a datablock in the future (right Campbell ?)
- Material Physics (not currently implemented)
... a datablock link to the materials of an object + the dynamic physic variables
* NOTE:
in readfile.c::do_version I couldn't do if(scene->world). There is something wrong with scenes with an unlinked world. So so far we are ignoring the old values....
at the moment only files from blender 2.4x will display in 2.5x, compared area and window structs in both cases and dont see any differences.
This doesnt fix the problem but corrects a few things related to window drawing with the BGE,
also adds a hack because I noticed the window and area pointers in the KX_BlenderCanvas were offset after initialized, maybe need to use <static cast> ?
* pressing P starts the BGE in the 3D view
* redraw window clipping isnt right
* BGE python api works in py3k (without __import__ override or Mathutils, BGL, Geometry)
* no events yet (so there is no way to exit)
* Missing changes to release/windows/installer
* Sequencer fixes in source/blender/src/seqaudio.c dont apply to 2.5
* brechts fix for #18855 r20763 wasnt merged, does this apply to 2.5?
svn merge https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/blender -r19820:HEAD
Notes:
* Game and sequencer RNA, and sequencer header are now out of date
a bit after changes in trunk.
* I didn't know how to port these bugfixes, most likely they are
not needed anymore.
* Fix "duplicate strip" always increase the user count for ipo.
* IPO pinning on sequencer strips was lost during Undo.
the original blendfile path wasn't reset when loading new blendfiles.
blenderplayer was ok, but running the BGE from blender would set the blendfile original path and never reset it on loading other blend files.
- Size adjustments can be accomplished with warp mesh data now. So we get a free spot in the GUI for a tilt option.
- Tilt option to tilt the camera (for planetarium domes).
Angle is in degree from -180 to +180. It's needed for planetarium domes (as this one http://domejunky.blogspot.com/2009/05/dome-corrected-bge.html ).
- This is the last commit regarding dome code I expected to 2.49. I consider this feature full implemented now. (working on docs now)
- the gp_GamePythonPath relative path variable wasnt updated when loading new files.
- missing NULL check for scene crashed blender when it failed to load a file.
Both problems dont affect blenderplayer
User guide:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Source/GameEngine/Fisheye_Dome_Camera
Fixed two bugs from original patch:
- deleting a text will clear the warp field from Game framing settings
- removed spurious black dots along the edge of the cube map in the gameplayer
Known limitation:
- resizing of the screen doesn't work in the gameplayer
Known bugs:
- Texture with reflexion are not rendered correctly
- Spurious problems with light
Previously this only worked with the Blender API.
- bpy_internal_import small C file that Blender scripting and the game engine use.
- Tested with blender, blenderplayer, loading files
- Needed to use a hack to override the Main struct since the game engine doesn't set G.main
- when the sandbox is set, only internal scripts can be imported.
Notes:
* Sequence transform strip uses G.scene global, this is commented
out now, should be fixed.
* Etch-a-ton code was most difficult to merge. The files already in
2.5 got merged, but no new files were added. Calls to these files
are commented out with "XXX etch-a-ton". editarmature.c and
transform_snap.c were complex to merge. Martin, please check?
* Game engine compiles and links again here for scons/make/cmake
(player still fails to link).
- variables that shadow vers declared earlier
- Py_Fatal print an error to the stderr
- gcc was complaining about the order of initialized vars (for classes)
- const return values for ints and bools didnt do anything.
- braces for ambiguous if statements
View3D has been split now in a local part (RegionView3D) and a
per-area part (old View3D). Currently local is:
- view transform
- camera zoom/offset
- gpencil (todo)
- custom clipping planes
Rest is in Area still, like active camera, draw type, layers,
localview, custom centers, around-settings, transform widget,
gridlines, and so on (mostly stuff as available in header).
To see it work; also added new feature for region split,
press SHIFT+ALT+CTRL+S for four-split.
The idea is to make a preset 4-split, configured to stick
to top/right/front views for three views.
Another cool idea to explore is to then box-clip all drawing
based on these 3 views.
Note about the code:
- currently view3d still stores some depricated settings, to
convert from older files. Not all settings are copied over
though, like custom clip planes or the 'lock view to object'.
- since some view3d ops are now on area level, the operators
for it should keep track of that.
Bugfix in transform: quat initialize in operator-invoke missed
one zero.
Als brought back GE to compile for missing Ipos and channels.
Think global, act local!
The old favorite G.scene gone! Man... that took almost 2 days.
Also removed G.curscreen and G.edbo.
Not everything could get solved; here's some notes.
- modifiers now store current scene in ModifierData. This is not
meant for permanent, but it can probably stick there until we
cleaned the anim system and depsgraph to cope better with
timing issues.
- Game engine G.scene should become an argument for staring it.
Didn't solve this yet.
- Texture nodes should get scene cfra, but the current implementation
is too tightly wrapped to do it easily.
The principle is to replace most get/set methods of logic bricks by direct property access.
To make porting of game code easier, the properties have usually the same type and use than
the return values/parameters of the get/set methods.
More details on http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/GameEngineDev/Python_API_Clean_Up
Old methods are still available but will produce deprecation warnings on the console:
"<method> is deprecated, use the <property> property instead"
You can avoid these messages by turning on the "Ignore deprecation warnings" option in Game menu.
PyDoc is updated to include the new properties and display a deprecation warning
for the get/set methods that are being deprecated.

Issues:
* GHOST/X11 had conflicting changes. Some code was added in 2.5, which was
later added in trunk also, but reverted partially, specifically revision
16683. I have left out this reversion in the 2.5 branch since I think it is
needed there.
http://projects.blender.org/plugins/scmsvn/viewcvs.php?view=rev&root=bf-blender&revision=16683
* Scons had various conflicting changes, I decided to go with trunk version
for everything except priorities and some library renaming.
* In creator.c, there were various fixes and fixes for fixes related to the -w
-W and -p options. In 2.5 -w and -W is not coded yet, and -p is done
differently. Since this is changed so much, and I don't think those fixes
would be needed in 2.5, I've left them out.
* Also in creator.c: there was code for a python bugfix where the screen was not
initialized when running with -P. The code that initializes the screen there
I had to disable, that can't work in 2.5 anymore but left it commented as a
reminder.
Further I had to disable some new function calls. using src/ and python/, as
was done already in this branch, disabled function calls:
* bpath.c: error reporting
* BME_conversions.c: editmesh conversion functions.
* SHD_dynamic: disabled almost completely, there is no python/.
* KX_PythonInit.cpp and Ketsji/ build files: Mathutils is not there, disabled.
* text.c: clipboard copy call.
* object.c: OB_SUPPORT_MATERIAL.
* DerivedMesh.c and subsurf_ccg, stipple_quarttone.
Still to be done:
* Go over files and functions that were moved to a different location but could
still use changes that were done in trunk.
The only compilation system that works for sure is the MSVC project files. I've tried my best to
update the other compilation system but I count on the community to check and fix them.
This is Zdeno Miklas video texture plugin ported to trunk.
The original plugin API is maintained (can be found here http://home.scarlet.be/~tsi46445/blender/blendVideoTex.html)
EXCEPT for the following:
The module name is changed to VideoTexture (instead of blendVideoTex).
A new (and only) video source is now available: VideoFFmpeg()
You must pass 1 to 4 arguments when you create it (you can use named arguments):
VideoFFmpeg(file) : play a video file
VideoFFmpeg(file, capture, rate, width, height) : start a live video capture
file:
In the first form, file is a video file name, relative to startup directory.
It can also be a URL, FFmpeg will happily stream a video from a network source.
In the second form, file is empty or is a hint for the format of the video capture.
In Windows, file is ignored and should be empty or not specified.
In Linux, ffmpeg supports two types of device: VideoForLinux and DV1394.
The user specifies the type of device with the file parameter:
[<device_type>][:<standard>]
<device_type> : 'v4l' for VideoForLinux, 'dv1394' for DV1394; default to 'v4l'
<standard> : 'pal', 'secam' or 'ntsc', default to 'ntsc'
The driver name is constructed automatically from the device types:
v4l : /dev/video<capture>
dv1394: /dev/dv1394/<capture>
If you have different driver name, you can specify the driver name explicitely
instead of device type. Examples of valid file parameter:
/dev/v4l/video0:pal
/dev/ieee1394/1:ntsc
dv1394:ntsc
v4l:pal
:secam
capture:
Defines the index number of the capture source, starting from 0. The first capture device is always 0.
The VideoTexutre modules knows that you want to start a live video capture when you set this parameter to a number >= 0. Setting this parameter < 0 indicates a video file playback. Default value is -1.
rate:
the capture frame rate, by default 25 frames/sec
width:
height:
Width and height of the video capture in pixel, default value 0.
In Windows you must specify these values and they must fit with the capture device capability.
For example, if you have a webcam that can capture at 160x120, 320x240 or 640x480,
you must specify one of these couple of values or the opening of the video source will fail.
In Linux, default values are provided by the VideoForLinux driver if you don't specify width and height.
Simple example
**************
1. Texture definition script:
import VideoTexture
contr = GameLogic.getCurrentController()
obj = contr.getOwner()
if not hasattr(GameLogic, 'video'):
matID = VideoTexture.materialID(obj, 'MAVideoMat')
GameLogic.video = VideoTexture.Texture(obj, matID)
GameLogic.vidSrc = VideoTexture.VideoFFmpeg('trailer_400p.ogg')
# Streaming is also possible:
#GameLogic.vidSrc = VideoTexture.VideoFFmpeg('http://10.32.1.10/trailer_400p.ogg')
GameLogic.vidSrc.repeat = -1
# If the video dimensions are not a power of 2, scaling must be done before
# sending the texture to the GPU. This is done by default with gluScaleImage()
# but you can also use a faster, but less precise, scaling by setting scale
# to True. Best approach is to convert the video offline and set the dimensions right.
GameLogic.vidSrc.scale = True
# FFmpeg always delivers the video image upside down, so flipping is enabled automatically
#GameLogic.vidSrc.flip = True
if contr.getSensors()[0].isPositive():
GameLogic.video.source = GameLogic.vidSrc
GameLogic.vidSrc.play()
2. Texture refresh script:
obj = GameLogic.getCurrentController().getOwner()
if hasattr(GameLogic, 'video') != 0:
GameLogic.video.refresh(True)
You can download this demo here:
http://home.scarlet.be/~tsi46445/blender/VideoTextureDemo.blendhttp://home.scarlet.be/~tsi46445/blender/trailer_400p.ogg
Rename PHY_GetActiveScene() to KX_GetActiveScene(): more logical name
Add KX_GetActiveEngine()
new KX_KetsjiEngine::GetClockTime(void) to return current
render frame time: if the CPU does not keep up with the
frame rate, up to 5 consecutive logic frames are processed
between each render frame, so that the logic system stays
accurate even if the graphic system is slow. For the video
texture module, it is important to stay in sync with the
render frame: no need to update the texture for logic frame.
BL_Texture::swapTexture(): texture id manipulation
BL_Texture::getTex() : return material texture
Enable video support in ffmpeg for Linux.
