Remove the last of the odd C++/python wrapper code from http://www.python.org/doc/PyCPP.html (~1998)
* Use python subclasses rather then having fake subclassing through get/set attributes calling parent types.
* PyObject getset arrays are created while initializing the types, converted from our own attribute arrays. This way python deals with subclasses and we dont have to define getattro or setattro functions for each type.
* GameObjects and Scenes no longer have attribute access to properties. only dictionary style access - ob['prop']
* remove each class's get/set/dir functions.
* remove isA() methods, can use PyObject_TypeCheck() in C and issubclass() in python.
* remove Parents[] array for each C++ class, was only used for isA() and wasnt correct in quite a few cases.
* remove PyTypeObject that was being passed as the last argument to each class (the parent classes too).
TODO -
* Light and VertexProxy need to be converted to using attributes.
* memory for getset arrays is never freed, not that bad since its will only allocates once.
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> ?
* all mathutils types now have optional callbacks
* PyRNA returns mathutils quat and euler types automatically when they have the rotation subtype.
* PyRNA, reuse the BPy_StructRNA PyObject rather name making a new one for each function returned.
* use more arithb.c functions for Mathutils quaternion type (less inline cruft).
* BGE Mathutils integration mostly finished- KX_PyMath now converts to Mathutils types rather then lists.
* make all mathutils types share the same header so they can share a number of functions - dealloc, getWrapped, getOwner.
Game engine Makefile update.
Note to coders: including BLO_ for only intptr typedef is ehh... not
so nice. But it should not have been added there in first place.
(BLO_ = .blend file read/write). Nice for a future cleanup. :)
Also goes for ED_ includes btw, = bad level call for GE! If you need
it to get things work now, fine, but it will make player impossible.
Any 3x3 or 4x4 rna matrix will automatically be returned as a Mathutils matrix.
This makes useful stuff like multiplying a vector location by an object matrix possible.
ob = bpy.data.scenes[0].objects[0]
print (ob.data.verts[0].co * ob.matrix)
Also added mathutils matrix types to the BGE GameObject.localOrientation, worldOrientation
* MT_Matrix3x3 added getValue3x3 and setValue3x3, assumed a 4x3 float array.
* KX_GameObject.cpp convenience functions NodeSetGlobalOrientation, NodeGetLocalOrientation, NodeGetLocalScaling, NodeGetLocalPosition.
* 2.5 python api now initializes modules BGL, Mathutils and Geometry
* modules py3 PyModuleDef's use PyModuleDef_HEAD_INIT, rather then {}, was making msvc fail to build.
* added macros for Vector_ReadCallback, Vector_WriteCallback etc. to check if the callback pointer is set before calling the function.
in short, vectors can work as if they are thin wrapped but not crash blender if the original data is removed.
* RNA vector's return Mathutils vector types.
* BGE vectors for GameObject's localPosition, worldPosition, localPosition, localScale, worldScale, localInertia.
* Comment USE_MATHUTILS define to disable returning vectors.
Example...
* 2.49... *
loc = gameOb.worldPosition
loc[1] = 0
gameOb.worldPosition = loc
* With vectors... *
gameOb.worldPosition[1] = 0
* But this wont crash... *
loc = gameOb.worldPosition
gameOb.endObject()
loc[1] = 0 # will raise an error that the objects removed.
This breaks games which assume return values are lists.
Will add this to eulers, matrix and quaternion types later.
* removed radiosity render code, DNA and RNA (left in radio render pass options), we'll get GI to replace this probably, better allow baking to vertex colors for people who used this.
* removed deprecated solid physics library, sumo integrations and qhull, a dependency
* removed ODE, was no longer being build or supported
* remove BEOS and AMIGA defines and references in Makefiles.
* Optimized RNA property lookups and path resolving, still can be
much better, but now the 1000 IPO example on bf-taskforce25
runs at reasonable speed.
* Also an optimization in the depsgraph when dealing with many
objects, this was actually also a bottleneck here.
* Update cmake and makefiles to link python generic.
* Fix game engine building for cmake and makefiles.
* Fix compile error with py 3.x, due to 2.x compat fix.
* Mathutils, Geometry, BGL, Mostly working, some //XXX comments for things to fix with py3
python import override (bpy_internal_import.c) so you can import python internal scripts from the BGE and running blender normally.
Note that the animation conversion from existing 2.4x blend files doesnt yet set the Action pointer in the actuator so the only way to test is to use the python api to set the new converted action active on the actuator because there is no user interface.
* extract_pose_from_pose only checked one of the list items for NULL when looping over them yet its possible they are different sizes.
* game_free_pose needed to be used rather then MEM_freeN, channels would never be freed leaking memory.
* setChannel() would make a new pose that wasnt aligned with the existing pose, the lists are assumed aligned so when extracting the channels its unlikely this was ever useful.
* Added getChannel() - returns pose loc/size/quat
* Added option args for setChannel(channel, matrix) or setChannel(channel, loc, size, quat)
* Removed modules Expression and CValue, neither were ever available.
* Added GameLogic.EvalExpression(exp) from the Expression module, evaluates an expression like the expression controller (not sure if this is really that useful since python is far more advanced).
* resetting the original blend file path didint work (own fault == -> =)
* Py3.x PyModule_Create didnt allow importing since it didn't add to sys.modules,
Looks like they want us to use init-tab array, but this doesn't suit us since
it needs to be setup before python is initialized.
* Documented GameLogic.globalDict
* Started porting over to python, menus nearly done, header WIP.
* Game Properties panel is in python too
* Deprecated "Tiles" as a per face flag here, now it's always on
the image, used to be both, working in a very confusing way.
Unlikely someone actually had a purpose for this being per face.
* Remove GPC_PolygonMaterial.cpp/h, it's not actually used anymore,
so I don't want to bother updating it.
* Fix crash in image painting (own mistake in porting over bugfix
from 2.4x).
FCurves are used for animation evaluation so FCurve modifiers work :).
Tested with object location and object color animation.
Armature and Shape Keys next.
Example is a cube that lands on a plane, sleeps after some time, a script changes the scale.
It would still use the scale when the object first went to sleep.

* 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.
- fix for [#18867] getScreenRay error
... the Vector wasn't been added to KX_Camera origin. Therefore the Ray was always casted to the wrong coordinate when camera wasn't in [0,0,0] (where is obviously was in my tests :)
- making the input parameter compatible with Blender/BGE window coordinate system (Top-Bottom).
... that will break scripts done in 2.49. Since this feature was added only in 2.49 that fix is OK. (and the fix is ridiculous.
Note:
the input parameter is normalized. That means it runs from 0.0 to 1.0. Some users found it confusing, but it allows to make a game compatible with multiple desktop resolutions.a
