This patch allows a user to pass binary data to LibLoad() to load a blend file from memory instead of a file path. I don't know how useful this will be for others, but I've used it so far for:
* Decrypting .blend files and loading them without having to store the .blend on the hard drive
* Pulling .blend data out of an archive and loading it (again skipping the hard drive)
So, it seems the biggest use for this is skipping a bit of file IO (and possibly some security problems).
Example usage:
import bge
with f as open('myfile.blend', 'rb'):
data = f.read()
bge.logic.LibLoad('Name', 'Scene', data)
The BGE was getting the namespace dict directly from __main__ which conflicts
with my recent fix to get the pickle module working which to overwrote the __main__ module on script execution.
Simple fix is to have the BGE and Blender use the same method of getting namespaces.
Renamed CreateGlobalDictionary() to bpy_namespace_dict_new() and moved into bpy_internal_import.c
pickle still wont work in the BGE since we make a copy of __main__ namespace but for speed would rather not have to replace the __main__ module many times per second.
- fixed the access to KX_SteeringActuator attributes from scripts
- added enum members for KX_SteeringActuator and KX_NavMeshObject to GameLogic dictionary
* source/blender/python/doc/sphinx_doc_gen.py
changed syntax for declating attributes type to use :type: instead of *type* os it
* source/gameengine/Ketsji/KX_PythonInit.cpp
While documenting I've found that we have two naming conventions for constraints in BGE python api,
example: KX_CONSTRAINTACT_DIRPZ and KX_ACT_CONSTRAINT_FHPX: the right convention is KX_CONSTRAINTACT_xxx
After talking with dalai and cambpell we agreed that this kind of change is better suited for NExyon GSoC
so I marked as TODO
Also, found 2 duplicate rows, fixed after askin nexyon
* source/gameengine/PyDoc/bge.logic.rst
there were 2 blocks for constraints, I've put them together in docs and fixed some other lines
* source/gameengine/PyDoc/bge.types.rst
first cleanup: mainly started using ":type:", it was mixed usage of *type* and **type**
started cleaning some bullet list in a way that varibles link to the constant in appropriate page
I'll continue later
The patch exposes mouse and keyboard read-only properties in the GameLogic module
Also renames bge.keys to bge.events (* Note: name of bge submodules (logic, render, ...) may change before 2.5 final release [right Campbell?]).
"""
This patch adds two new types to the BGE:
SCA_PythonKeyboard
SCA_PythonMouse
These two types allow users to make use of the keyboard and mouse without the need for a keyboard or mouse sensor.
SCA_PythonKeyboard has an events property that acts just like SCA_KeyboardSensor.events.
SCA_PythonMouse also has an events property to check for mouse events. Further more it supports getting and setting normalized cursor position (from 0.0 to 1.0) with SCA_PythonMouse.position. The cursor can be shown/hidden using SCA_PythonMouse.visible.
"""
Its use is similar with current mouse and keyboard controllers. With the exception of mouse position being normalized and writable as well (replacing Rasterizer.setMousePosition).
Code Sample:
######
from bge import logic, events
mouse = logic.mouse
keyboard = logic.keyboard
for key,status in keyboard.events:
if status == logic.KX_INPUT_JUST_ACTIVATED:
if key == events.WKEY:
print(mouse.position)
# move_forward()
mouse.visible = True # turn cursor visible
mouse.position = 0.5,0.5 # centralize mouse - use tuple
######
* Important Note: mouse.position still will not work properly for Letterbox mode.
In order to fix letterboxing I may need to move the set x,y mouse function to inside the canvas code (to avoid duplicated code between mouse sensor and bge.logic.mouse). I'll leave this for another commit though.
Thanks Mitchell for the work on that.
- added new mathutils.Color() type, use with rna so we can do for eg:
material.diffuse_color.r = 1.0
# also has hsv access
material.diffuse_color.s = 0.6
- made Mathutils and Geometry module names lowercase.
unrelated changes that ended up being more trouble to commit separate...
- removed BLI_split_dirfile(), was nasty, occasionaly modifying the source string, it could create directories and used the $CWD in some cases. was only used in 2 places in filesel.c, if this gives problems can address without bringing back this function.
renamed BLI_split_dirfile_basic --> BLI_split_dirfile
- view3d_operator_needs_opengl was being called for offscreen render when it wasnt needed.
