(1) the new text suggest what was the default eye separation before. Now I'm confident that changing the eye separation for the UI is a good move
(2) no big deal here. It's not reading the parameter from the command line. But does it ever read it?
(3) stubs.c update and glew linking statically. patch by Mitchell Stokes, thanks for that.
And now we finish 2009 with a building blenderplayer =D
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.
After talking with Ton and Campbell we agreed that it wouldn't hurt to have blenderplayer again (specially now since BGE is almost 100% working in 2.5).
However in order to make it link, I needed to bring back stubs, a lot of so-called bad calls.
I'm not sure how we should proceed from here, but it looks like people could start to take a look at source/blenderplayer/bad_level_calls_stubs/stubs.c and fix their own modules/functions
** NOTE: I removed the sound calls from BlenderPlayer. In order to fix it look at //XXX ADD SOUND in GPG_Application.cpp and GPC_Engine
*** tested in CMake+MSVC.
- Scons is not building !!! (why does the building systems have to be so different?)
And someone may like to fix make. (take a look at /trunk/source/blender/blenkernel/bad_level_call_stubs/Makefile )
**** it may work better inside /source/gameengine/GamePlayer
* 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.
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....
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.
- 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)
- initialize pythons sys.argv in the blenderplayer
- ignore all arguments after a single " - " in the blenderplayer (like in blender), so args can be passed to the game.
- add a utility function PyOrientationTo() - to take a Py euler, quat or 3x3 matrix and convert into a C++ MT_Matrix3x3.
- add utility function ConvertPythonToMesh to get a RAS_MeshObject from a KX_MeshProxy or a name.
- Added error prefix arguments to ConvertPythonToGameObject, ConvertPythonToMesh and PyOrientationTo so the error messages can include what function they came from.
- deprecated brick.getOwner() for the "owner" attribute.

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.
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.
but don't have an action got the pose of already added armatures, even
though they're not related. This also fixes an issue where the armature
in Blender would end up in the pose from the game after ESC, removes
unneeded copies made during armature evaluation, and also solves the
constraint copying hack.
saves a marshal'd GameLogic.globalDict to the blendfile path with the blend extension replaced with bgeconf
Use this in YoFrankie to save keyboard layout and graphics quality settings.
the features that are needed to run the game. Compile tested with
scons, make, but not cmake, that seems to have an issue not related
to these changes. The changes include:
* GLSL support in the viewport and game engine, enable in the game
menu in textured draw mode.
* Synced and merged part of the duplicated blender and gameengine/
gameplayer drawing code.
* Further refactoring of game engine drawing code, especially mesh
storage changed a lot.
* Optimizations in game engine armatures to avoid recomputations.
* A python function to get the framerate estimate in game.
* An option take object color into account in materials.
* An option to restrict shadow casters to a lamp's layers.
* Increase from 10 to 18 texture slots for materials, lamps, word.
An extra texture slot shows up once the last slot is used.
* Memory limit for undo, not enabled by default yet because it
needs the .B.blend to be changed.
* Multiple undo for image painting.
* An offset for dupligroups, so not all objects in a group have to
be at the origin.
workaround for python stopping and starting by storing the dictionary as marshal'd data. this means only python types are supported.
This feature is needed so when switching from a menu to a level blendfile, the configuration isnt lost.
* GBE Python API's alignToVect wasnt clamping the align ammount from 0.0-1.0
* Generated images arnt animated - use for a test to see if the textures animated.
nurbs/curves/text dissappears.
This also removes the "vertex arrays" option and enables it always
for OpenGL version >= 1.1 - there's no need to have an option to
make things render faster disabled by default, also it should work
stable now.
GLEW
====
Added the GLEW opengl extension library into extern/, always compiled
into Blender now. This is much nicer than doing this kind of extension
management manually, and will be used in the game engine, for GLSL, and
other opengl extensions.
* According to the GLEW website it works on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X,
FreeBSD, Irix, and Solaris. There might still be platform specific
issues due to this commit, so let me know and I'll look into it.
* This means also that all extensions will now always be compiled in,
regardless of the glext.h on the platform where compilation happens.
Game Engine
===========
Refactoring of the use of opengl extensions and other drawing code
in the game engine, and cleaning up some hacks related to GLSL
integration. These changes will be merged into trunk too after this.
The game engine graphics demos & apricot level survived my tests,
but this could use some good testing of course.
For users: please test with the options "Generate Display Lists" and
"Vertex Arrays" enabled, these should be the fastest and are supposed
to be "unreliable", but if that's the case that's probably due to bugs
that can be fixed.
* The game engine now also uses GLEW for extensions, replacing the
custom opengl extensions code that was there. Removes a lot of
#ifdef's, but the runtime checks stay of course.
* Removed the WITHOUT_GLEXT environment variable. This was added to
work around a specific bug and only disabled multitexturing anyway.
It might also have caused a slowdown since it was retrieving the
environment variable for every vertex in immediate mode (bug #13680).
* Refactored the code to allow drawing skinned meshes with vertex
arrays too, removing some specific immediate mode drawing functions
for this that only did extra normal calculation. Now it always splits
vertices of flat faces instead.
* Refactored normal recalculation with some minor optimizations,
required for the above change.
* Removed some outdated code behind the __NLA_OLDDEFORM #ifdef.
* Fixed various bugs in setting of multitexture coordinates and vertex
attributes for vertex arrays. These were not being enabled/disabled
correct according to the opengl spec, leading to crashes. Also tangent
attributes used an immediate mode call for vertex arrays, which can't
work.
* Fixed use of uninitialized variable in RAS_TexVert.
* Exporting skinned meshes was doing O(n^2) lookups for vertices and
deform weights, now uses same trick as regular meshes.
[#7113] GE crash pressing as soon as P on 64 bit
Note: glext.h has been removed from the source
If you get errors compiling with it you have 2 options
download/install glext.h (preferred method)
or set WITH_BF_GLEXT=false
If your a user and having problems with game engine try
setting the env var: WITHOUT_GLEXT 1

ESC now quits the game by default in all modes unless a keyboard sensor is set on ESC.
In this case, the game designer must arrange for an alternative way to quit the game.
[#7660] Solaris 10 x86 support (Makefiles)
Hopefully it will not mess up anything for anyone else. I removed
some hardcoded static libs and made NAN_*_LIB definitions so they could be
overridden, to allow greater flexability.
Let me know if there are any problems/questions.
