Three features that were on the main UI interface are now
moved to the Advanced Settings panel:
Margin, Actor (that becomes Sensor Actor) and No sleeping.
Sensor Actor is now a feature: it can be turned on and off
for all types of objects, and not just static objects.
Select the Sensor Actor button to make the object visible
to Near and Radar sensor.
The button is selected by default for dynamic objects
and unselected by default for static objects, to match
previous behavior.
correct if there was more than one camera. It shoots rays from the
active camera, but used the viewport from whichever camera was drawn
last, now it uses the correct vieport.
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.
The Physics button controls the creation of a physics representation
of the object when starting the game. If the button is not selected,
the object is a pure graphical object with no physics representation
and all the other physics buttons are hidden.
Selecting this button gives access to the usual physics buttons.
The physics button is enabled by default to match previous Blender
behavior.
The margin parameter allows to control the collision margin from
the UI. Previously, this parameter was only accessible through
Python. By default, the collision margin is set to 0.0 on static
objects and 0.06 on dynamic objects.
To maintain compatibility with older games, the collision margin
is set to 0.06 on all objects when loading older blend file.
Note about the collision algorithms in Bullet 2.71
--------------------------------------------------
Bullet 2.71 handles the collision margin differently than Bullet 2.53
(the previous Bullet version in Blender). The collision margin is
now kept "inside" the object for box, sphere and cylinder bound
shapes. This means that two objects bound to any of these shape will
come in close contact when colliding.
The static mesh, convex hull and cone shapes still have their
collision margin "outside" the object, which leaves a space of 1
or 2 times the collision margin between objects.
The situation with Bullet 2.53 was more complicated, generally
leading to more space between objects, except for box-box collisions.
This means that running a old game under Bullet 2.71 may cause
visual problems, especially if the objects are small. You can fix
these problems by changing some visual aspect of the objects:
center, shape, size, position of children, etc.
The 'opposite' of the "Insert Key" tool.
- Use the hotkey Ctrl-Alt-IKEY to activate.
- Only available in 3d-view and buttons window
I've added an extra var to verify_ipo and verify_ipocurve to save having to make another duplicate of that code. Hopefully the gameengine compiles ok with this.
player did not enable mipmapping when falling back to texfaces.
Also commented out code that disabled mipmapping in the player on
Mac OS X. If that is a workaround for a bug it is a really poor one,
and hopefully fixed now since this code is from 2002 or earlier.
* Fix issue with add transparency mode with blender materials.
* Possible fix at frontface flip in the game engine.
* Fix color buffering clearing for multiple viewports, it used
to clear as if there was one.
* Fix for zoom level in user defined viewports, it was based on
the full window before, now it is based on the viewport itself.
* For user defined viewports, always use Expose instead of
Letterbox with bars, the latter doesn't make sense then.
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.
I'm getting this error now:
GPG_Application.cpp: In member function 'void GPG_Application::stopEngine()':
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/include/python2.3/marshal.h:12: error: too many arguments to function 'PyObject* PyMarshal_WriteObjectToString(PyObject*)'
GPG_Application.cpp:720: error: at this point in file
Are we offically not supporint older versions of python now? :)

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.
HELP BUILD SYSTEM MAINTAINERS: Please help with updating all build systems: the newly added files need to be added. Note that the src/SoftBody has been added for future extension of real-time soft bodies.
without this, an incorrect sound path could cause scripts to to fail, making some functionality not work at all.
This also fixes a problem where samples would be loaded multiple times.
Introduction of a new Delay sensor that can be used to
generate positive and negative triggers at precise time,
expressed in number of frames.
The delay parameter defines the length of the initial
OFF period. A positive trigger is generated at the end
of this period. The duration parameter defines the
length of the ON period following the OFF period.
A negative trigger is generated at the end of the ON period.
If duration is 0, the sensor stays ON and there is no
negative trigger.
The sensor runs the OFF-ON cycle once unless the repeat
option is set: the OFF-ON cycle repeats indefinately
(or the OFF cycle if duration is 0).
The new generic SCA_ISensor::reset() Python function
can be used at any time to restart the sensor: the
current cycle is interrupted and no trigger is generated.
* bugfix for BGE python api - SetParent actuator getObject would segfault if the object was not set.
* Added utility function ConvertPythonToGameObject() that can take a GameObject, string or None and set the game object from this since it was being done in a number of places.
* allow setObject(None), since no object is valid for actuators, Python should be able to set this.
* added optional argument for getObject() so it returns the KX_GameObject rather then its name, would prefer this be default but it could break existing games.
* removed macros that were not used much, some misleading.
* removed error string setting calls that overwrote the error set by PyArg_ParseTuple with a less useful one.
* use python macros Py_RETURN_NONE, Py_RETURN_TRUE, Py_RETURN_FALSE
We assign the material name before check the pointer.
Please Benoit check this and also I have a compiler warning
about the second argument in the previous call of
ConvertMaterialIpos, the argument is NULL but the function
need a dword.
