Shape Action are now supported in the BGE. A new type of actuator "Shape Action" is available on mesh objects. It can be combined with Action actuator on parent armature. Only relative keys are supported. All the usual action options are available: type, blending, priority, Python API. Only actions with shape channels should be specified of course, otherwise the actuator has no effect. Shape action will still work after a mesh replacement provided that the new mesh has compatible shape keys.
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* Removed some outdated code behind the __NLA_OLDDEFORM #ifdef.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.
patch from Shawn Zilbert (enigmatic)
This patch adds the camera data block type to the oops schematic view of the outliner. It also includes a little bit of code cleanup in the oops files.
Snap to cage only in edit mode (respect the edit cage flag of modifiers).
Especially important for subsurf, otherwise, Andy's automerge + snap video doesn't work in current SVN.
This commit fix the following problem in the DPX code:
1) The code always assume a depth of 10 bits
2) The code don't check the file type (Log or Linear)
1. Updated selected restriction to not be so stingy. Snapping on edges and vertices work if they are part of a partially moving face
2. Change depth ordering (which didn't work all the time). Hits are sorted according to 2D distance and then depth, so for overlapping hits, it picks the one in front.
This patch re-assigns the mirrored data to use vertex groups with "mirrored"
names (e.g. L_arm -> R_arm, Leg.R -> Leg.L etc.). Vertex groups with the
"mirrored" names must already exist in the base mesh.
This means that it is no longer necessary to apply the mirror modifier in order
to rig the mirrored data independently.
Thanks to Michael Fox for the patch!
- duplicated script spaces would keep a pointer to the PyObject button list. (causing python errors with negative reference counts when freeing spaces)
- Exiting blender would crash when a UI was open because the ScriptSpaces button PyList was being free'd after python Py_Finalize was called.
---------------------------------------------------
Snappy stuff
* Align rotation with snapping target: rotate the object, aligning it with the target (object mode only - temporarily) (New icon in the header when snap is turned on)
* Snap to different mesh elements (face, edge, vertice): snapping target slide on faces and edge or use exact position of vertice. When using Align rotation with edge snapping, the normal is interpolated as you slide along.
Snaps correctly to derived mesh (sculpt, modifiers, ...) and duplis. In object and edit mode.
NOTE: The snapping code is now based on faces, so even if you're snapping to vertices or edges, it will not work on meshes without faces. This might change if needed.
(partial because I'll merge all snap code in one fell swoop after the libs are done)
----------------------------------
object: ray - boundbox intersection test
----------------------------------
Small fix to derivedmesh for snapping: don't create origindex for
editmesh derivedmesh since it's not being filled correct anyway.
----------------------------------
Arith:
- axis angle to quat conversion function
- short to float / float to short normals conversion function (eventually, we could go over the go and replace copy/pasted code everywhere)
- ray triangle intersection (to complement the line triangle intersection function)
View:
- viewray / viewline (get near plane point under mouse and ray normal/far point)
Particles:
- extract viewline from brush_add function

This enables rotation angles of more than 180 degrees to result in the same rotation applied to the object (the result used to be clamps between -180 - 180 of the initial rotation).
The patch had to be modified to deal with IPO keys properly
