sys.path is the search path for python modules. This is useful so people making games can put all their scripts in a folder and be sure they will always load into the BGE.
for each blend file a scripts directory is added to the path
/home/me/foo.blend
will look for modules in...
/home/me/scripts/*.py
It could also default to look for modules in the same directory as the blend file but I think this is messy.
Added a note in the tooltip about //scripts so its not such a hidden feature.
This works by storing the original sys.path, then adding the paths for the blendfile and all its libs,
when a new blendfile is loaded, the original sys.path is restored before adding the blendfiles paths again so the sys.path wont get junk in it.
One problem with this - when using linked libs the module names must be unique else it will load the wrong module for one of the controllers.
also fixed 2 bugs
- sys.path in the blenderplayer was growing by 1 for every file load in blenderplayer
- the relative path (gp_GamePythonPath), wasnt being set when loading files in the blenderlayer (as I wrongly said in the last commit).
- initialize pythons sys.argv in the blenderplayer
- ignore all arguments after a single " - " in the blenderplayer (like in blender), so args can be passed to the game.
- add a utility function PyOrientationTo() - to take a Py euler, quat or 3x3 matrix and convert into a C++ MT_Matrix3x3.
- add utility function ConvertPythonToMesh to get a RAS_MeshObject from a KX_MeshProxy or a name.
- Added error prefix arguments to ConvertPythonToGameObject, ConvertPythonToMesh and PyOrientationTo so the error messages can include what function they came from.
- deprecated brick.getOwner() for the "owner" attribute.

Fixed two bugs from original patch:
- deleting a text will clear the warp field from Game framing settings
- removed spurious black dots along the edge of the cube map in the gameplayer
Known limitation:
- resizing of the screen doesn't work in the gameplayer
Known bugs:
- Texture with reflexion are not rendered correctly
- Spurious problems with light
Previously this only worked with the Blender API.
- bpy_internal_import small C file that Blender scripting and the game engine use.
- Tested with blender, blenderplayer, loading files
- Needed to use a hack to override the Main struct since the game engine doesn't set G.main
- when the sandbox is set, only internal scripts can be imported.
other scenes, for texture face / multitexture materials.
Fix for bug #18428: BGE lights on hidden layers were still used,
for all material types, now they have no effect
Notes:
* Sequence transform strip uses G.scene global, this is commented
out now, should be fixed.
* Etch-a-ton code was most difficult to merge. The files already in
2.5 got merged, but no new files were added. Calls to these files
are commented out with "XXX etch-a-ton". editarmature.c and
transform_snap.c were complex to merge. Martin, please check?
* Game engine compiles and links again here for scons/make/cmake
(player still fails to link).
[#17974] two small fix for blender 2.48 (memory leak and uninitalized vars)
Submitted By:

* giving compileflags, cc_compileflags and cxx_compileflags to BlenderLib() now actually overrides any other setting (so there's no unclarity when ie. conflicting options are being specified in REL_CFLAGS et al). These are set after either release or debug flags, but before any *_WARN flags (so those stay maintained).
* add cxx_compileflags for GE parts on win32-vc to have better performance.
* NOTE: if platform maintainers (OSX and Linux) could check and do the same for their systems. Not vital, but probably very, very much welcomed by GE users.
vector in perspective mode. This is default OpenGL behavior, but
by now this optimization is really insignificant. Works in both
the 3d view and game engine.
Think global, act local!
The old favorite G.scene gone! Man... that took almost 2 days.
Also removed G.curscreen and G.edbo.
Not everything could get solved; here's some notes.
- modifiers now store current scene in ModifierData. This is not
meant for permanent, but it can probably stick there until we
cleaned the anim system and depsgraph to cope better with
timing issues.
- Game engine G.scene should become an argument for staring it.
Didn't solve this yet.
- Texture nodes should get scene cfra, but the current implementation
is too tightly wrapped to do it easily.
The principle is to replace most get/set methods of logic bricks by direct property access.
To make porting of game code easier, the properties have usually the same type and use than
the return values/parameters of the get/set methods.
More details on http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/GameEngineDev/Python_API_Clean_Up
Old methods are still available but will produce deprecation warnings on the console:
"<method> is deprecated, use the <property> property instead"
You can avoid these messages by turning on the "Ignore deprecation warnings" option in Game menu.
PyDoc is updated to include the new properties and display a deprecation warning
for the get/set methods that are being deprecated.
to compile blender with gcc on IRIX, IRIX_USE_GCC needs to be set to true in
user-def.mk.
Other changes related to irix:
* compile solid from extern/
* don't build plugins (yet) with "make release" when using gcc (the shell
script used assumes MIPSpro is installed)
* use statvfs instead of statfs on irix, like done on solaris
* use external libs from $(LCGDIR) instead of /usr/freeware
* use glew header files from $(LCGDIR)/glew instead of the ones installed on
the system (this applies to other platforms as well)
* ffmpeg support currently is disabled on irix
svn merge https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/blender -r12987:17416
Issues:
* GHOST/X11 had conflicting changes. Some code was added in 2.5, which was
later added in trunk also, but reverted partially, specifically revision
16683. I have left out this reversion in the 2.5 branch since I think it is
needed there.
http://projects.blender.org/plugins/scmsvn/viewcvs.php?view=rev&root=bf-blender&revision=16683
* Scons had various conflicting changes, I decided to go with trunk version
for everything except priorities and some library renaming.
* In creator.c, there were various fixes and fixes for fixes related to the -w
-W and -p options. In 2.5 -w and -W is not coded yet, and -p is done
differently. Since this is changed so much, and I don't think those fixes
would be needed in 2.5, I've left them out.
* Also in creator.c: there was code for a python bugfix where the screen was not
initialized when running with -P. The code that initializes the screen there
I had to disable, that can't work in 2.5 anymore but left it commented as a
reminder.
Further I had to disable some new function calls. using src/ and python/, as
was done already in this branch, disabled function calls:
* bpath.c: error reporting
* BME_conversions.c: editmesh conversion functions.
* SHD_dynamic: disabled almost completely, there is no python/.
* KX_PythonInit.cpp and Ketsji/ build files: Mathutils is not there, disabled.
* text.c: clipboard copy call.
* object.c: OB_SUPPORT_MATERIAL.
* DerivedMesh.c and subsurf_ccg, stipple_quarttone.
Still to be done:
* Go over files and functions that were moved to a different location but could
still use changes that were done in trunk.
kept as the original file, but that can't work correct for solving
relative paths once a .blend in another directory is loaded. The
reason it went OK with the apricot tech demo is that the images there
were lib linked into the level file, which still worked.
Now it sets G.sce to the current loaded .blend file. Note that the
python config file path still uses the first loaded .blend file so it
looks in the same location each time.
Also added some NULL pointer checks in the joystick code because it
was crashing there on Mac, there's similar checks in related functions
so I'm assuming this was just a missed case.
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.
work in the game player, now the IK lib is linked into the player.
Makefiles/Scons/CMake buildsystems have been updated.
Fix materials nodes to work in the game player.
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.
working with relative paths. Still doesn't work optimal, since
paths are relative to game.blend which is in the app bundle
under Contents/Resources, so other files need to be moved there
manually at the moment.
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.
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.
rayCast(to,from,dist,prop,face,xray,poly):
The face paremeter determines the orientation of the normal:
0 or omitted => hit normal is always oriented towards the ray origin (as if you casted the ray from outside)
1 => hit normal is the real face normal (only for mesh object, otherwise face has no effect)
The ray has X-Ray capability if xray parameter is 1, otherwise the first object hit (other than self object) stops the ray.
The prop and xray parameters interact as follow:
prop off, xray off: return closest hit or no hit if there is no object on the full extend of the ray.
prop off, xray on : idem.
prop on, xray off: return closest hit if it matches prop, no hit otherwise.
prop on, xray on : return closest hit matching prop or no hit if there is no object matching prop on the full extend of the ray.
if poly is 0 or omitted, returns a 3-tuple with object reference, hit point and hit normal or (None,None,None) if no hit.
if poly is 1, returns a 4-tuple with in addition a KX_PolyProxy as 4th element.
The KX_PolyProxy object holds information on the polygon hit by the ray: the index of the vertex forming the poylgon, material, etc.
Attributes (read-only):
matname: The name of polygon material, empty if no material.
material: The material of the polygon
texture: The texture name of the polygon.
matid: The material index of the polygon, use this to retrieve vertex proxy from mesh proxy
v1: vertex index of the first vertex of the polygon, use this to retrieve vertex proxy from mesh proxy
v2: vertex index of the second vertex of the polygon, use this to retrieve vertex proxy from mesh proxy
v3: vertex index of the third vertex of the polygon, use this to retrieve vertex proxy from mesh proxy
v4: vertex index of the fourth vertex of the polygon, 0 if polygon has only 3 vertex
use this to retrieve vertex proxy from mesh proxy
visible: visible state of the polygon: 1=visible, 0=invisible
collide: collide state of the polygon: 1=receives collision, 0=collision free.
Methods:
getMaterialName(): Returns the polygon material name with MA prefix
getMaterial(): Returns the polygon material
getTextureName(): Returns the polygon texture name
getMaterialIndex(): Returns the material bucket index of the polygon.
getNumVertex(): Returns the number of vertex of the polygon.
isVisible(): Returns whether the polygon is visible or not
isCollider(): Returns whether the polygon is receives collision or not
getVertexIndex(vertex): Returns the mesh vertex index of a polygon vertex
getMesh(): Returns a mesh proxy
New methods of KX_MeshProxy have been implemented to retrieve KX_PolyProxy objects:
getNumPolygons(): Returns the number of polygon in the mesh.
getPolygon(index): Gets the specified polygon from the mesh.

workaround for python stopping and starting by storing the dictionary as marshal'd data. this means only python types are supported.
This feature is needed so when switching from a menu to a level blendfile, the configuration isnt lost.
* GBE Python API's alignToVect wasnt clamping the align ammount from 0.0-1.0
* Generated images arnt animated - use for a test to see if the textures animated.
nurbs/curves/text dissappears.
This also removes the "vertex arrays" option and enables it always
for OpenGL version >= 1.1 - there's no need to have an option to
make things render faster disabled by default, also it should work
stable now.
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.
Add a function GameLogic.expandPath() that works like Blender.sys.expandpath() and is also available in the BlenderPlayer.
Fix the game actuator in the BlenderPlayer to work like in Blender:
- try first to load the .blend from the current working directory
- if not found, try to load from the startup .blend or runtime base directory
Now you can do one of the following to disable it:
export NAN_NO_PLUGIN=true
export WITH_BF_WEBPLUGIN=false
or
export WITH_BF_WEBPLUGIN=true to enable building it.
(Its set to false by default)

The current layer information is now stored in KX_GameObject and inherited from the parent object when dynamically added. This information is used during the rendering the select the lamps. As the selected lamps are always coming from active layers, their position and orientation are correct.
[#7113] GE crash pressing as soon as P on 64 bit
Note: glext.h has been removed from the source
If you get errors compiling with it you have 2 options
download/install glext.h (preferred method)
or set WITH_BF_GLEXT=false
If your a user and having problems with game engine try
setting the env var: WITHOUT_GLEXT 1

ESC now quits the game by default in all modes unless a keyboard sensor is set on ESC.
In this case, the game designer must arrange for an alternative way to quit the game.
fix for [#6950] Blender crashes when .blog file top line is 160 characters or more
- made sure BLI_convertstringcode doesn't return more than 240 chars
- went through all callers and fixed places where string passed to BLI_convertstringcode was too short
- TODO: look into increasing sample->name and sound->name too, I prevented crashes, but filename might get shortened.
minus one small include file that was commented out, I'm not
sure why it was commented out but I'm pretty sure its needed.
If there are still problems later we can sort it out, everything
else is pretty simple.

[#7660] Solaris 10 x86 support (Makefiles)
Hopefully it will not mess up anything for anyone else. I removed
some hardcoded static libs and made NAN_*_LIB definitions so they could be
overridden, to allow greater flexability.
Let me know if there are any problems/questions.
Kent
I reviewed the code, suggested an update ( initialising accumulation buffer ), and tested the resulting update successfully.
It's great to see more GE developers!GE Patch by Hamed Zaghaghi to add motion blur to the GE ( using the accumulation buffer ).
I reviewed code and tested, gave some feedback ( initialising accumulation buffer ) which was implemented straight away, and re-reviewed.
It's great to have another GE coder on the team!
If you look at the log, the last change to this file I was trying to fix
game engine bug #6667. In so doing I added a print usage if you do not
pass any arguments to the gameplayer.
Things should work better now.

Although we will delay the main Rigid Body user interface after 2.43 release early 2007, I need some constraint data/UI to make progress with COLLADA Physics.
Added RigidBody constraint UI
LR_ALTKEY+LR_CTRLKEY+LR_SHIFTKEY+ P will bake rigidbody
Contribution by RCRuiz, Ramon Carlos.
All data layers, including MVert/MEdge/MFace, are now managed as custom
data layers. The pointers like Mesh.mvert, Mesh.dvert or Mesh.mcol are
still used of course, but allocating, copying or freeing these arrays
should be done through the CustomData API.
Work in progress documentation on this is here:
http://mediawiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/BlenderArchitecture/CustomData
Replaced TFace by MTFace:
This is the same struct, except that it does not contain color, that now
always stays separated in MCol. This was not a good design decision to
begin with, and it is needed for adding multiple color layers later. Note
that this does mean older Blender versions will not be able to read UV
coordinates from the next release, due to an SDNA limitation.
Removed DispListMesh:
This now fully replaced by DerivedMesh. To provide access to arrays of
vertices, edges and faces, like DispListMesh does. The semantics of the
DerivedMesh.getVertArray() and similar functions were changed to return
a pointer to an array if one exists, or otherwise allocate a temporary
one. On releasing the DerivedMesh, this temporary array will be removed
automatically.
Removed ssDM and meshDM DerivedMesh backends:
The ssDM backend was for DispListMesh, so that became obsolete automatically.
The meshDM backend was replaced by the custom data backend, that now figures
out which layers need to be modified, and only duplicates those.
This changes code in many places, and overall removes 2514 lines of code.
So, there's a good chance this might break some stuff, although I've been
testing it for a few days now. The good news is, adding multiple color and
uv layers should now become easy.
