Support for assigning any Type to a KX_GameObject
so you can do...
gameOb.follow = otherGameOb
gameOb[otherGameOb] = distanceTo
gameOb["path"] = [(x,y,x), (x,y,x)]
del gameOb[mesh]
* types that cannot be converted into CValue types are written into the KX_GameObject dict
* the KX_GameObject dict is only initialized when needed
* Python properties in this dict cannot be accessed by logic bricks
* dir(ob) and ob.getPropertyNames() return items from both CValue and Py dictionary properties.
Also found that CType was converting python lists to CType Lists but very buggy, would crash after printing the list most times.
Use python lists instead since logic bricks dont deal with lists.
added defines PY_SET_ATTR_FAIL, PY_SET_ATTR_MISSING and PY_SET_ATTR_SUCCESS
This is useful when objects that have user defined attributes (GameObject and Scene)
When calling setattr on the parent, a return value of PY_SET_ATTR_FAIL means the attribute exists but failed to be set, so don't set the custom attribute.
There were also some problems with int to python conversion
- assigning a PyLong to a KX_GameObject from python would raise an error
- PyLong were coerced into floats when used with internal CValue arithmetic
Changes...
- PyLong is converted into CIntValue for coercing and assigning from python
- CValue's generic GetNumber() function returns a double rather then a float.
- Print an error when a PyType cant be coerced into a CValue
Tested with python, expressions and property sensor.
- setting the scene attributes would always add to the scenes custom dictionary.
- new CListValue method from_id(id)
so you can store a Game Objects id and use it to get the game object back.
ob_id = id(gameOb)
...
gameOb = scene.objects.from_id(ob_id)
This is useful because names are not always unique.
- added keyboard senser attribute "events" to replace getEventList()
- fix 2 memory leaks in the python api (was making a list but not returning it)
- setting readonly attributes didnt give a good error message.
- multi-line strings for bitmap text
- keyboard sensor now logs return and pad enter as "\n"
BGE std::vector use in Value.cpp and RAS_MaterialBucket.cpp
The size of a new list is known before making them, reduce re-allocs, though probably not a noticeable speedup.
- Only try and remove light objects from the light list.
- Only loop over mesh verts once when getting the bounding box
- dont return None from python attribute localInertia when theres no physics objects. better return a vector still.
- add names to send message PyArg_ParseTuple functions.

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
This commit contains a number of performance improvements for the
BGE in the Scenegraph (parent relation between objects in the
scene) and view frustrum culling.
The scenegraph improvement consists in avoiding position update
if the object has not moved since last update and the removal
of redundant updates and synchronization with the physics engine.
The view frustrum culling improvement consists in using the DBVT
broadphase facility of Bullet to build a tree of graphical objects
in the scene. The elements of the tree are Aabb boxes (Aligned
Axis Bounding Boxes) enclosing the objects. This provides good
precision in closed and opened scenes. This new culling system
is enabled by default but just in case, it can be disabled with
a button in the World settings. There is no do_version in this
commit but it will be added before the 2.49 release. For now you
must manually enable the DBVT culling option in World settings
when you open an old file.
The above improvements speed up scenegraph and culling up to 5x.
However, this performance improvement is only visible when
you have hundreds or thousands of objects.
The main interest of the DBVT tree is to allow easy occlusion
culling and automatic LOD system. This will be the object of further
improvements.
Ideally there would be no limit but I dont think its worth the effort.
Also had a bug in last commit for the pytyhon api's "axisSingle" attribute, UI index starts at 1 not zero.
- Make BGE's ListValue types convert to python lists for printing since the CValue GetText() function didnt work well- printing lists as [,,,,,] for scene objects and mesh materials for eg.
- Check attributes are descriptor types before casting.
- py_getattr_dict use the Type dict rather then Method and Attribute array.
Use each types dictionary to store attributes PyAttributeDef's so it uses pythons hash lookup (which it was already doing for methods) rather then doing a string lookup on the array each time.
This also means attributes can be found in the type without having to do a dir() on the instance.
- Raised limit of 2 axis to 4 axis pairs (4==8 joysticks axis pairs)
- Added a new Joystick Sensor type "Single Axis", so you can detect horizontal or vertical movement, rather then just Up/Down/Left/Right
- added Python attribute "axisSingle" so you can get the value from the selected axis (rather then getting it out of the axis list)
- renamed Py attribute "axisPosition" to "axisValues" (was never in a release)
If we need to increase the axis limit again just change JOYAXIS_MAX and the button limits.
- added a module for the BGE - GameTypes, only contains types.
- added KX_PYATTRIBUTE_DUMMY attributes for KX_Light, KX_PolyProxy, KX_VertexProxy, so all types should give correct results from a dir().
- added a script to check for missing methods in the epydocs - bge_api_validate_py.txt
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.
- action attribute wasnt checking for NULL (own fault)
- KX_Scene getCamera wasnt checking for NULL
- CListValue had asserts for not yet implimented functionality, this would close blender. Better to print an error if the user manages to run this functions (I managed to by CListValue.count([1,2,3]))
KX_PolygonMaterial and KX_BlenderMaterial - Added a print function (would raise a python error on printing)
* Crashes *
KX_GameObject SetParent - Disallowed setting a parent to its self, caused a recursion crash.
KX_MeshProxy "materials" attribute was segfaulting because of my recent change - I was wrong, you do need to check material types (no idea why since they are both PyObject * at the base)
KX_VisibilityActuator - Wasn't initialized with PyType_Ready() making it crash on access (own fault)
* Crashes because of missing NULL checks *
KX_PolygonMaterial's "gl_texture" attribute wasnt checking for a valid m_tface
KX_GameObject - added checks for GetPhysicsController()
KX_RayCast::RayTest - didnt check for a valid physics_environment
KX_SceneActuator's getCamera python function wasnt checking if there was a camera.
- changed epy_docgen.sh so inherited attributes & methods are included inline for each type, removed source option since its not useful and makes the download bigger.
- made camera use PyAttributeDef's
- removed unneeded duplicate matrix type checks
- fixed own bug (added since 2.48a) that broke a converting 4x4 matrix to a PyObject
