- hotkeys, obdatacopier and renameobjectbyblock, all from Jean-Michel Soler (jms);
- bevel_center by Loic Berthe, suggested for inclusion by jms;
- doc_browser, by Daniel Dunbar (Zr)
Thanks to them for the new contributions!
(I included doc_browser at 'Misc' because only users interested in script writing would actually use it, but it could also be under 'Help'. Opinions?)
BPython related:
- Added scriptlink methods to object, lamp, camera and world.
- Object: added object.makeTrack and object.clearTrack (old track method).
- sys: made sys.exists(path) return 0 for not found; 1 for file, 2 for dir and -1 for neither.
- doc updates and fixes.
- made ONLOAD event work. G.f's SCENESCRIPT bit was being zeroed in set_app_data.
- Blender: updated functions Load and Save to support the builtin importers and exporters besides .blend (dxf, videoscape, vrml 1.0, stl, ...)
- Draw: added mouse wheel events.
- Scene: added scene.play to play back animations (like ALT+A and SHIFT+ALT+A). Makes a good counter, too, when the 'win' attribute is set to a space that doesn't "animate".
The scene.play() addition and the fix to ONLOAD scriptlinks is part of the work for a Blender demo mode. It already works, but I'll still add support for Radiosity calculations and fix a thing in main(): it executes onload scripts too early (BIF_Init), giving funny results in alt+a animations and renderings when firing up Blender. Loading after the program is up has no such problems. When I finish I'll post examples of demo mode scripts.
PupStrInput, a wrapper for the Blender String popup (thanks!)
- Fixed bug #1374 reported by Gabriel Beloin (gabio, thanks too):
http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=125&aid=1374&group_id=9
There was a minor mistake in the import menu: vrml called dxf and vice-versa and shortcuts were wrong (removed them).
- Doc updates, minor updates elsewhere.
Wim Van Hoydonck contributed the famous Knife script (put under Modifiers group) developed by Stefano Selleri and himself (thank to both!)
- Added helper function Blender.sys.makename, updated docs and script ac3d_export to use it (shall update other exporters too):
this function is just a simple helper to format a filename as needed (change extension, strip dirname, it defaults to use G.sce as path).
- Added a test method: Blender.Scene.getScriptlinks(eventName):
just testing, if this path proves useful other functions will be added and made general, for objects, etc.
* Added items for importing DXF, VRML, etc. in the File->Import menu, that just call the normal Open function. Most people don't even know that you can open these formats through the normal Open fileselect, so this will make it more obvious.
* Removed the 'Export Selected' menu, and put poor old lonely STL in the Import and Export menus too. Most of the exporters export only the selected object anyway, so it's not really a necessary distinction to make.
- tiny updates for better behavior, unix line endings, cvs Id tags;
- Updated DX7 exporter (thanks to author Ben Omari who's also working on a DX8 one);
- added sysinfo script;
Interface (scripts):
- changed behavior for which win is chosen for script guis:
Now there's a smarter order, guis will use either:
- Scripts win
- Buttons win (if not a script from groups Wizards or Utils)
- Text win
- Closest bigger area
- Added a button to the scripts header so that it's faster to return to the buttons win (this can be made general), if that was the previous win used.
-starting updates and new additions for Blender 2.34:
Some of the new scripts require Python modules not builtin with Blender, so you either need a full Python install or the needed extra modules. This is an ongoing work, there should be more scripts, better testing and also proper ways to tell users they don't have all expected modules. It's expected that Win users won't need full Python installs, since we can provide a minimal zip with the needed modules from 2.34 on.
Thanks to Anthony D'Agostino (scorpius), Jean-Michel Soler (jms) and Campbell Barton (Cam / ideasman) for donating the scripts now added / updated.
BPython:
-added two new script menu groups: Tools and Utils. We still need to find places elsewhere in the gui where the groups can be put.
- as proposed by Ton, default dir for menu enabled scripts is:
userhome/.blender/scripts if available or (using bprogname -- argv[0]),
blenderInstallationDir/.blender/scripts/ otherwise.
- moved a piece of code from BPY_interface.c to BPY_menus.c to get rid
of a linkage warning reported by J. Walton
-- added the first scripts to release/scripts:
We need time to get more scripts there, but the situation should improve
consistently from now on. Adding three export scripts: cal3d, directX, ac3d.
And one import: ac3d.
