* Code cleanup, removed unneeded code.
* Style cleanup, don't break lines to early
(unless marked as pep8-80 or pep8-120 compliant)
* Keep 1 line after layout declaration empty.
Near sensors only pick up "actors," but objects with character physics did not have the actor option displayed. By setting the character physics object to actor, it can be picked up by the near sensor. However, it collides with the near sensor, which sounds like bug [#31701]
========================
The linear and angular thresholds set the speed limit (in m/s) and rotation limit (in rad/s)
under which a rigid body will go to sleep (stop moving) if it stays below the limits for a
time equal or longer than the deactivation time (sleeping is disabled is deactivation time is
set to 0).
These settings help reducing the processing spent on Physics during the game.
Previously they were only accessible from python but not working because of a bug.
Now the python functions are working and the settings are available in the Physics panel
of the World settings when using the Blender Game render engine.
Python API:
import PhysicsConstraints
PhysicsConstraints.setDeactivationLinearTreshold(float)
PhysicsConstraints.setDeactivationAngularTreshold(float)
===============================================
This patch adds a new "Character" BGE physics type which uses Bullet's btKinematicCharacter for simulation instead of full-blown dynamics. It is appropiate for (player-controlled) characters, for which the other physics types often result unexpected results (bouncing off walls, sliding etc.) and for which simple kinematics offers much more precision.
"Character" can be chosen like any other physics type in the "Physics" section of the properties window. Current settings for tweaking are "Step Height" (to make the object automatically climb small steps if it collides with them), "Fall Speed" (the maximum speed that the object can have when falling) and "Jump Speed", which is currently not used.
See http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=127&aid=28476&group_id=9
for sample blends and a discussion on the patch: how to use it and what influences the behavior of the character object.
Known problem: there is a crash if the "compound" option is set in the physics panel of the Character object.
- spelling - turns out we had tessellation spelt wrong all over.
- use \directive for doxy (not @directive)
- remove BLI_sparsemap.h - was from bmesh merge IIRC but entire file commented and not used.

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]]
40552: space_logic.py (* fixed an error in space_logic.py *)

}
- 2 new navmesh operators, reset and clear navmesh data.
- rename operators to be more consistent with existing names.
- some minor edits to draw function, was getting the custom data for every index when it already had the array.
- Make gettext stuff draw-time. so switching between languages
can happens without restart now.
- Added option to translate visible interface (menus, buttons, labels)
and tooltips. Now it's possible to have english UI and localized tooltips.
- Clean-up sources, do not use gettext stuff for things which can be
collected with RNA.
- Fix issues with windows 64bit and ru_RU locale on my desktop
(it was codepage issue).
- Added operator "Get Messages" which generates new text block with
with all strings collected from RNA.
- Changed script for updating blender.pot so now it appends
messages collected from rna to automatically gathered messages.
To update .pot you have to re-generate messages.txt using "Get Messages"
operator and then run update_pot script.
- Clean up old translation stuff which wasn't used and most probably
wouldn't be used.
- Return back "International Fonts" option, so if it's disabled, no
gettext lookups happens on draw.
- Merged read_homefile function back. No need in splitting it.
TODO:
- Custom fonts and font size.
Current font isn't nice at least for russian locale, it's
difficult to read it.
- Put references to messages.txt so gettext can merge translation when
name/description of some property changes.
* The new NAVMESH Modifier did not show any buttons, console printed errors instead!
* Poll of "PHYSICS_PT_game_obstacles" panel caused errors as well, self instead of cls was used as argument.
* Check to show/hide buttons in "WORLD_PT_game_physics_obstacles" panel did not worked due to wrong ENUM identifier ('None' instead if 'NONE')
* Moved "SCENE_PT_navmesh" panel out of properties_scene.py into the properties_game.py where it belongs and renamed it. Also, don't use abreviations in Panel Headers (Navmesh > Navigaion Mesh)
* Code cleanup, removed unnescecary code.
* bpy.types.Panel > Panel
Implemented basic audio animation.
* AnimatableProperty: Propper cache writing and spline interpolation for reading (the solution for stair steps in audio animation)
* Animatable properties so far are: volume, pitch, panning
* Users note: Changing the pitch of a sound results in wrong seeking, due to the resulting playback length difference.
* Users note: Panning only works for mono sources, values are in the range [-2..2], this basically controls the angle of the sound, 0 is front, -1 left, 1 right and 2 and -2 are back. Typical stereo panning only supports [-1..1].
* Disabled animation of audio related ffmpeg output parameters.
* Scene Audio Panel: 3D Listener settings also for Renderer, new Volume property (animatable!), Update/Bake buttons for animation problems, moved sampling rate and channel count here
