This will make transitions from older versions of Blender easier since VSYNC_ON
will be the default. This could have been changed in a do_version, but the vsync
code has yet to see an official release, so I figured this would be a bit nicer.
Also, this makes VSYNC_ON the default for new scenes as well.
now, with a 'resize' routine for the engine we can/should also recreate some
buffers that are created only at init time (e.g., 2d filters, dome fbos, ...).
This bug was always present in Blender (since 2.49 at least).
Bugfix supported by NF-UBC Nereus Program as part of the development
of OceanViz/NereusViz
changing the screen resolution wasn't still allowed for larger virtual desktops.
added an exclusive option to ghost so the fullscreen window is ignored by the window manager and we get all events. (common practice for games on X11).
This commit adds a UI option in the Render properties to enable the new material caching in the converter. This caching can cause problems with Singletexture and Multitexture materials when texface is being used to handle materials. By default this option is enabled and users with broken games have two options:
1) Fix up their materials so they are properly using textures
2) Disable the material caching and take a speed hit during conversion time
Regardless of the setting, caching is always enabled for GLSL materials.
* Cleaning up the conversion code to avoid a per-face material conversion. Materials are now stored in buckets and only converted if a new material is found. This replaces some of Campbell's earlier work on the subject. His work wasn't as thorough, but it was much safer for a release.
* Shaders are only compiled for LibLoaded materials once. Before they could be compiled twice, which could really slow things down.
* Refactoring the rasterizer code to use a strategy design pattern to handle different geometry rendering methods such as immediate mode, vertex arrays and vertex buffer objects. VBOs are added, but they will be disabled in a following commit since they are still slower than vertex arrays with display lists. However, VBOs are still useful for mobile, so it's good to keep them around.
* Better multi-uv support. The BGE should now be able to handle more than two UV layers, which should help it better match the viewport.

Notes:
======
* we replaced fullscreen by playerflag in DNA_scene.types.h. So no doversion here, I think this is a small reversion can't see any potential problem in forcuing users to re-check fullscreen. If the file is really old (<250) it will doversion though;
* (for after commit) it would be nice to gray out the width/height when desktop=True
* for a rainy day: it would be nice to have other ghost modes (e.g. screensaver) to support desktop + MSAA as well. It's not a huge deal given that I don't even know if anything else work (apart from windowed, fullscreen and embed) but it doesn't hurt to have it updated as well.
* there is something strange with outliner. I think space_outliner merge-info is not in sync with the ^/ folder. It's probably a wrong merge early in cucumber.
Commit Logs:
===========
# 40845 by dfelinto
remove desktop and fullscreen properties. They are both part of playerflag now
also I removed the fullscreen from the DNA completely. I don't think we need doversion that..
#39045 by kupoman
The Desktop option is now greyed out when fullscreen is not checked rather than disappearing from the UI completely.
#38973 by kupoman
Adding a checkbox to the UI to allow the full screen Blender Player to use the current desktop resolution instead of the resolution setting.
#38970 by kupoman
Multisampling now works in a fullscreen Blender Player.
#38968 by moguri
Committing a patch from Mitchell Stokes (Moguri) to include a setting in the UI for the Blenderplayer multisampling.
---------------------------------------------------------------
This was a test drive to see how painful the merge will be.
Next batches are:
- use desktop option for fullscreen
- multisampling option
- bullet collision mask
- python
- storage (vbo, dl, ...)
- lighting
[lighting still needs review]
[python could use review, although it should be straightforward]
[storage should be tested more I think]

36991:
==UI==
* Made some options available in Blender Game that were only available in Blender Render (camera resolution, animation fps)
* Created a panel for the embedded player
* Renamed the FPS option for the standalone player to Refresh Rate
* Moved framing options to display
* Made a button to launch the blender player from within blender (only tested on windows for now)
37059:
==UI==
* Added the option to change the exit key for the BGE. The UI currently just sets a number, and this feature most likely does not work for blenderplayer yet. More work on this to come.
* Removed the physics settings from the scene panel for the BGE.
* Added an Add menu in the logic brick header.
37157:
Making the bake options available in Blender Game
37416:
Making the exit key UI element accept key presses instead of numbers. It still does not work for the Blenderplayer, and it does not limit the input to key presses (other events don't work for exiting)
37497:
Some more work on getting the exit key to work in the Blenderplayer.
Input is now restricted to keyboard events only for the exit key UI.
37498:
Some clean up from the last commit.
The exit key setting affects the Blenderplayer now.
37499:
Cleaning up some duplicate code. Now the reverseTranslateTable for converting blender key codes to ketsji key codes is only defined in BL_BlenderDataConverter.
37501:
Centralizing the exit key methods to the keyboard devices. This should make it easier to get exit key control to the python API.
[37517: committed previously]
37522:
Moved control of the exit key away from the keyboard devices, and moved it to ketsjiengine.
Added setExitKey and getExitKey to the python API
39036:
A couple of the doversions were in the wrong spot. This should fix some issues with the exit key not being set.
[not committed entirely, see below]]

Game Actuator (restart or load a new file) will not keep some settings alive (as
we had in 2.49).
In 2.49 the solution used was to use Blender globals (G.fileflags) to get/set
those settings. That was causing the blender file to change if you change the
material mode from the game.
In 2.5 this never worked, and the implementation was buggy (it's relying in the
scene settings, which get reset ever time we restart/load a new file).
My idea for fixing this is to create a new struct (GlobalSettings) where we
store any setting to be preserver during the course of the game. This is
specially important for options that require the game to restart/load new file
(graphic ones). But it later can be expanded to support other things such as
audio settings (e.g. volume), ...
I'm also planning to expand it for stereo and dome settings, but I prefer to
first get this committed and then build a new patch on top of that.
I had some problems in finding a correct way for build/link the blenderplayer
changes, so although it's working I'm not sure this is the best code (e.g. I
couldn't make forward declaration to work in GPG_Application.h for the struct
GlobalSettings so I ended up including KX_KetsjiEngine.h)
[note: I talked with Brecht and he find this is an ok solution. He implemented
it originally so it's good to have his go. However I still think there must be a way to make forward declaration to work. I will see with other devs if there is a better solution]
[also I'm likely renaming glsl to flags later if there are more settings stored in the flags to be used. But for now we are only handling glsl flags]
The patch can also be found in http://codereview.appspot.com/4431072/
##############
This patch fix anti-aliasing (multisampling) implementation for win32 platform. It also gives opportunity to embed blenderplayer inside parent window.
Usage:
blenderplayer.exe -i 123456 -m 16 file.blend
where:
123456 - parent window handler (integer, default: 0)
16 - multisample level (integer, default: 0, max: 16. Put there maximum level you want. If not supported, player will automatically try 15,14,13,...,3,2,1)
##############
This patch was originally created as part of the Burster (aka webplugin) project but benefit any one embedding the bge in a custom OpenGL context. By the way, to embed the BGE in a .Net application is really straightforward now =)
The Multisampling work for blenderplayer as a whole.
Missing functionalities:
- to expose the multisampling to the ui (so far it only works in console)
- window focus and keyboard messages for embedded blenderplayer (supported in their previous patch for 2.49, yet to be ported over)
- handle resizing (to be investigated, indeed the changes in getState() in GHOST_WindowWin32.cpp are going to get in the way of that if I'm not mistaken. To be addressed together.
Doxygen documentation to be added whenever I sort out how to do so. Sorry Nathan too many stuff to deal with at the same time. The sooner this patch gets in, the sooner the missing functionalities can be patched on top of that.
----------------------------------
While we are more and more moving towards enabling features in the Python API, it's also important to have Logic Bricks working with no scripts.
This option allows you to start the game with the mouse cursor on (it's on Render Buttons). The defalt is still off (no do_version needed here).
- removed deprecated bitmap arg from IMB_allocImBuf (plugins will need updating).
- mostly tagged UNUSED() since some of these functions look like they may need to have the arguments used later.
The FullScreen state was never set. Therefore the window boundary was returning the wrong dimensions (it was assuming that it was not fullscreen).
* Note: blender.exe -W has a similar problem. We are working on that ...
Tested in Windows only. If someone can test in Linux and OSX please let me know if it's good there as well. To test it: ./blenderplayer -f myfile.blend
tile cache code in imbuf, but it is not hooked up to the render engine.
Imbuf module: some small refactoring and removing a lot of unused or old code
(about 6.5k lines).
* Added a ImFileType struct with callbacks to make adding an file format type,
or making changes to the API easier.
* Move imbuf init/exit code into IMB_init()/IMB_exit() functions.
* Increased mipmap levels from 10 to 20, you run into this limit already with
a 2k image.
* Removed hamx, amiga, anim5 format support.
* Removed colormap saving, only simple colormap code now for reading tga.
* Removed gen_dynlibtiff.py, editing this is almost as much work as just
editing the code directly.
* Functions removed that were only used for sequencer plugin API:
IMB_anim_nextpic, IMB_clever_double, IMB_antialias, IMB_gamwarp,
IMB_scalefieldImBuf, IMB_scalefastfieldImBuf, IMB_onethird, IMB_halflace,
IMB_dit0, IMB_dit2, IMB_cspace
* Write metadata info into OpenEXR images. Can be viewed with the command
line utility 'exrheader'
For the image tile cache code, see this page:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.5/Source/Imaging/ImageTileCache
Tested with GameLogic.mouse.position and mouse over sensor.
It should be working with other mouse sensor as well. If not, please help to test and report a bug.
(couldn't test blenderplayer but it should be working there as well).
(Benoit, this is the same patch that I sent you. I hope it's OOP enough. Looking forward to hear from you on that)
I believe that this was the last "mouse" related bug we had reported. MouseLoook scripts should be working 100% in Blender/BGE 2.50 now \o/
(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.
