Also meant to mention, on the todo: show the confirmation before closing the file selector,
rather than afterwards where it's inconvenient and easy to miss...
The 'save over' popup was only appearing based on a string comparison of the operator name ("Save"). Changed this to use a hidden operator property: "check_existing". Python operators must
have this property for the file selector confirmation too.
This property can also be set to false, to prevent checking for existing files, useful in the File->Save menu item to prevent the dangerously missable confirmation popup.
- Removed control-shape deformation bones from the spine rig (no longer necessary thanks to the new "custom shape at" feature).
- Various improvements to the mouth rig, including a corrective shape key for mouth-open.
- The new method of generating into the same armature object every time wasn't copying pose bone data in the process, such as rotation mode and transform locks.
* Better (and windows enabled) OpenMP handling (> 2x-5x speed)
* More Volumetric Texture mapping options (heat, etc) <-- Matt if that's not to your liking, just revert that part, it's separate anyway
* Initial velocity taken from particle settings (no more slow starting)
* Option to select compression method (there seem to be a bug in my high compression usage, at least it's been reported to result in exploding smoke - better use low compression for the time being)
It's been tested since a while but as usual please report any (new!) bugs. ;-)
By default the generated rig object is named "rig". But you can add a custom "rig_object_name" property to the metarig to specify the name of the object to generate into.
levels, child particles, and shadow/SSS/AO quality.. Now also works on what
is displayed in the 3d view instead of only rendering, see panel in the scene
properties.
Most file changes were to make scene available in the isDisabled modifier
callback function.
* Select Grouped
Selects bones in the same layer or same group as the selected ones. Optimised the code for the select same groups too.
* Flip Quats
Flips quaternion values so that the rotation progresses over a different path while maintaining the same endpoint orientations.
python modules bpy.app, bpy.utils are now included in docs.
C defined python module bpy.props has its docstrings extracted and written directly into sphinx docs since the C methods cant be inspected.
added docstrings to bpy.props and improved some in bpy.utils.
will update online docs tomorrow.
Works correctly with menu, keymap definitions and keymap export/import.
Properties set in the macro definition overwrite those set by the user (there's no way to see that in the UI at this point).
MISSING: Python operator calling code to fill in the properties hierarchy.
Also contains some keymap export changes by Imran Syed (freakabcd on irc): the exported configuration will use the name of the file and the exported script will select the added configuration when ran.
This patch by Guillaume Lecocq (lguillaume) adds user preference settings for setting the playback frame-rate and delay between captured frames for the screencasting feature.

I've made a few tweaks for a few minor issues
- Made DNA vars for these settings shorts instead of ints, reducing the number of unnecessary extra pad vars
- Added version patching to ensure that these settings are initialised by default
- Made tooltips for the settings more descriptive
- modify the path in python rather then C
- filter returns an object in python 3, set using slice.
also import sys as _sys so it doesnt appier in aytocompleation.
- In 2.4x, this setting was the lock button in the headers.
- Now, this option can be found in the View menus of all relevant editors
- Basically, this option toggles whether objects (using animation data that's being edited) get updated during animation editor transforms to give realtime feedback on the effects of tweaks.
- By default, this is enabled, since this fits in nicer with 2.5's everything 'live' paradigm. However, it is recommended to disable this on slower computers or when updates for heavy rigs are causing too much workflow lag
- Also, removed some old crufty settings from action editor data
- use xml.sax.saxutils.escape() to give an XML compatible string.
- in some cases material indicies could be invalid. use the default material rather then throwing an error.
Multiple background images displaying each on a different axis.
Changes made from the original patch.
- Use an enum rather then multiple booleans.
- Reduced the space taken up by the user interface.
- Made the image template compact display not show fields & premul options.
- Added readfile.c lines so old blendfile images are loaded.
- Option to hide BGpic UI (like modifiers & constraints)
- Use the index rather then a bgpic from the context for the remove operator.
note: could be good to use 1 image for both left+right, for eg, but for this to work as intended we would need to add image flipping depending on the axis so left this commented out for now.
- Added two driven-shape-key rig types that create and drive shape keys on a mesh/meshes based on the distance or rotation difference between two bones.
- Fixed bug in finger curl rig type where secondary finger controls were not created. Finger type can also now (optionally) have a hinge switch (useful when using it for wings).
- Changed the blending system in rigify_utils to use copy_transforms constraints instead of copy_loc+copy_rot.
- Finished the quadruped leg type. Now has both ik and fk control and ik/fk switching. Also uses a rotating bone to control the knee direction instead of a pole target (seems to work more consistently for quadruped setups). There's still one annoying bug regarding foot roll, but it's not blocking. I'll track it down later.
- Mouth rig now creates corrective shape keys on the face mesh for dealing with mouth corners when they spread open.
- Biped arm and leg types now cause mesh to scale when you scale the fk controls.
- Misc improvements to the rig types.
- transform default scale was too hight, calls to random were inconsistant. (fault of own modif's)
- cmake openal include was added twice on recent commit.
This commit makes the new-style Motion Paths work for Objects and Bones. Motion Paths can either be added for Objects (Object buttons) or for Selected Bones in PoseMode (Armature Buttons), and/or removed from these panels too.
Changes:
* Changed the way the baking code worked, since it was better to be able to bake a bunch of objects at once, instead of doing it per object
* Fixed a variety of bugs regarding initialising defaults and reading old files
* Added operators for Objects (like for bones), and replaced the existing code for bones.
* Fixed bug with baking code that was causing it to bake the wrong ranges
Todos:
* Frame number drawing is currently messed up, since the "cached" text drawing takes into account the object transforms.
* The new MotionPath panels currently appear as the first panels in the respective contexts, probably due to the order in which the files are included. This needs some fixing, though not sure what the best way is yet.
* Added a generic 'histogram' ui control, currently available in new image editor
'scopes' region (shortcut P). Shows the histogram of the currently viewed image.
It's a baby step in unifying the functionality and code from the sequence editor,
so eventually we can migrate the sequence preview to the image editor too,
like compositor.
Still a couple of rough edges to tweak, regarding when it updates. Also would
be very nice to have this region as a partially transparent overlapping region...
written from scratch by Daniel Salazar (zanqdo). added own modifications.
New property type
bpy.props.FloatVectorProperty(), only difference with float is it takes a 'size' argument and optional 'default' sequence of floats.
moved bpy.props.* functions out of bpy_rna.c into their own C file.
Example of adding a button to the view header;
def draw_custom(self, context): self.layout.operator("some.operator")
bpy.types.VIEW3D_HT_header.append(draw_custom)
- reload modules from types that are not directly included. for example wm.py uses classes from modules/rna_prop_ui.py which wasnt reloaded.
- script paths were being added to sys.path multiple times.
note: now the second reload gives a crash right away but this is a bug elsewhere.
- arguments, return values indentation means they get correctly interpreted by sphinx
- functions with no return values were displaying return as ()
- return values were getting the '(optional)' added in some cases.
Example:
http://www.blender.org/documentation/250PythonDoc/bpy.ops.object.html
blender supports type changing for textures in a way that python doesnt.
add a new general function.
Example usage:
tex = bpy.data.textures.new("Foo")
tex.type = 'IMAGE'
tex = tex.recast_type()
Macro to give the number of users accounting for fake user.
ID_REAL_USERS(id)
Use this so you can remove a datablock if it has a fake users as well as apply transformations to it in the 3D view.
Move api function bpy.data.add_texture() --> bpy.data.textures.new()/remove()
this is too arbitrary and could break if roperty order is changed.
store the property in the operator type that is to be used for menu and enum search func's.
python function for searching operator enums on invoke. (just need dynamic python enums now)
wm.invoke_search_popup(self)
- particle set weight operator (Shift + K) and from the menu.
- mirror vertex groups operator can also flip weight group names.
a number of utility functions for weight groups added
int *get_defgroup_flip_map(struct Object *ob);
void flip_vertexgroup_name (char *name_r, const char *name, int strip_number); // moved from modifier.c
void copy_defvert (struct MDeformVert *dvert_r, const struct MDeformVert *dvert);
void flip_defvert (struct MDeformVert *dvert, int *flip_map);
* Added Theme support for the console.
You can change:
-Header Color
-Text Color of Output, Input, Info and Error Messages. (Inside the User Preferences -> Themes)
So now tab is not ALWAYS converted to spaces.
This is stored by text datablock (what allows to do nice things in the future, as automatic check for the indentation type of the file).
Ideally we should redraw the other Text Editor windows after changing that (in case the same file is opened and the Property panel is also open). Not sure how to do that though.
I'm using TABSTOSPACES as the DEFINE flag because TABSASSPACES sounds too ugly.
(also fix for interface divisor bug)
nice that it uses foreach_get/set for fast array copying from python.
note: this is getting out of hand, we beed some central panel/interface for copying mesh data about - shapes, UVs weights etc. at the moment they are accessed from all different places.
Patches by Jonathan Smith (jaydez)
Add a Cursor Center entry in the snap menu (Shift-S) to reset the cursor to 0,0,0. Also rename the view_center operator to view_selected to reflect better what it does (in the code only, description and name were already ok).
When combing long hair it will often end up with no volume (flat on the head like its wet).
a way to fix this is to use the puff tool however when applied points at the root only this just gives a bit of volume at the roots and the rest of the hair stays flat.
This option moves the unselected parts of the hair without applying the puff tool to them, giving volume to the hair whilst preserving the desired style.
- property names dont need the bone type prefix anymore
- always add a root bone that all non parented bones are parented to
- x/y/z axis properties for bones.
change how data is added. eg.
bpy.data.add_mesh(name) --> bpy.data.meshes.new(name)
bpy.data.remove_lamp(lamp) --> bpy.data.lamps.remove(lamp)
image and texture stil use add_* funcs
*Some more cleanup.
*Renamed active_theme to theme_area, active_theme will be useful, when we have multiple themes again.
*New layout (Theme Area selection is now expanded).
ToDo:
* Nice wrapping of all options for the different spaces, either manual or via auto generation.
Some items are missing, some are in different positions, altough they are available in different areas.
NVidia (at least) GL drivers don't provide correct picking through GL_SELECT when the GL context is initialized with sample buffers.
So we can't have FSAA on for now as it breaks border,lasso,.. select.
- scene.render_data.frame_path(frame=num), returns the output path for rending images of video.
- scene.render_data.file_extension, readonly attribute, gives the extension ".jpg", ".mov" etc
- player support was guessing names, use the above functions to get the actual names used, accounting for #'s replacing numbers.
thumbnails on the web interface (resized with imagemagick or compatible if present, fullsize otherwise)
Clicking on the "show" link shows the thumbnail associated with one frame. Clicking on a second one shows all frames in the range. Clicking on more frames extends the range. Clicking on a thumbnail (or on the show link of a visible thumbnail) hides all thumbnails.
See the bugreport comments for full breakdown of the fix.
--
The change in brush.c is to get blender compiling again, after my previous commit which tried to fix a compiler warning related to this (but in the header file instead).
* Finished baking code for motion paths, generalising it so that it works for both Objects and Bones.
It is based on the old code for baking bones, although I have modified the updating code to use a more 'correct' method of updating dependencies. However, this may turn out to be too slow, and another API method should be added for that...
* Moved some of the old version-patching code for animviz settings out of the drawing functions, instead doing this on the version patching proper.
* Added RNA support for the new AnimViz types, and included RNA access via their users too. The old settings have still been left in for now, since there are still some things not ready to use yet.
----
* F-Curve's with sample points (i.e. sounds to F-Curves) now perform linear interpolation between sample points instead of using constant interpolation.
jpeg versions of the render results are downloadable from the web interface.
Notes:
1) They are generated (and written to disk) on demand on the master in the same Blender instance, so this will increase memory usage (until there's a way to free and image buffer from memory or it's run in a separate process).
2) They are darker then the real results, since multilayer exr contain the result before gamma correction (for the linear workflow) and that's not applied when loading them as an image.
3) They are NOT thumbnails, they are the same size as the results (albeit at 90% quality jpeg compression)
Restored the old Eyedropper tool from the 2.4 colour picker. Now it's an operator,
working nicely using rna properties (fixes#19475 and some todo items)
This ended up being a bit more work than expected, it involved converting the
colour picker to use RNA properties directly, rather than temporary values. This has
several advantages, including being able to type in RGB values greater than 1,
however there are still some redraw issues with sliders.
Also removed the alternate color pickers after this time spent testing, the current one
should be sufficient, or alternatives to the wheel can possibly become preferences
in the current design.
Converting the picker to RNA also made it very trivial to make a cool new
ColorWheel template, which can be embedded in UI layouts. I've enabled it already
in texture/vertex paint brush properties and the sequence editor color correction:
http://mke3.net/blender/devel/2.5/colorwheels.jpg
Slave and Master options to delete files when closed (default True for slave, False for Master)
Web interface option to remove files (on master) when deleting a job (or all jobs)
Web interface button to pause a job
Brecht and I took a fair bit of convincing on this one however Cessen was jumping through hoops to do without this feature.
Having the shape being an external mesh deformed by its own armature, which were both hidden but in the same layer *(so the depgraph would update them).
Without this some of the bones in the rig also dont make much sense when animating with.
Highlights:
* Support for Multi-Target Variables
This was the main reason for this recode. Previously, variables could only be used to give some RNA property used as an input source to the driver a name. However, this meant that effects such as Rotational Difference couldn't be used in conjunction with other effects and/or settings to achieve the powerful results. Now, a variable can take several input targets, perform some interesting operations on them, and spit out a representative value based on that.
* New Variable Types
With the introduction of multi-target variables, there are now 3 types of variable that can be used: single property (i.e. the only type previously), Rotational Difference (angle between two bones), and Distance (distance between two objects or bones).
* New Driver Types
In addition to the existing 'Average', 'Sum', and 'Expression' types, there is now the additional options of 'Minimum' and 'Maximum'. These take the smallest/largest value that one of the variables evaluates to.
* Fix for Driver F-Curve colouring bug
Newly added drivers did not get automatically coloured in the Graph Editor properly. Was caused by inappropriate notifiers being used.
Notes:
* This commit breaks existing 2.5 files with drivers (in other words, they are lost forever).
* Rigify has been corrected to work with the new system. The PyAPI for accessing targets used for the variables could still be made nicer (using subclassing to directly access?), but that is left for later.
* Version patching for 2.49 files still needs to be put back in place.
* Fix#20482: grab brush + size pressure sensitivity don't work
together, disabled the pressure sensitivty for that case now.
* Fix for smooth brush messing up mesh sometimes, smooth factor
is now clamped to reasonable range.
* Fix#20449: smooth brush + mirror modifier could crash.
utility functions to find the groups and scenes this object is used in.
button to set the group location from the cursor (UI is horrible but not any nice place to add?)
smarp project would fail if there were linked meshes in the scene, made ID.tag ignore the library, so you can tag linked data since its only for tools to use.
normalize the vertex normal before setting and use inline vector functions.
Testing a new method that hopefully will be faster to use than finicky socket
selection - now just select multiple nodes and press F - available output sockets
on the selected nodes will get automatically connected to the active node.
It works for one socket type each time, to avoid getting lots of extra connections
when you join up, but as a shortcut you can easily press F again to connect up
other socket types. For example, to connect a render layer node (with vector pass)
to a vector blur node, select the render layer then the vector blur, and press F
three times to connect up the Image, Z and Vector sockets. It now also
preferences sockets with the same name to connect up first.
There's also another option (ctrl F) which will replace existing input links, rather
than only connecting up links to available input sockets.
* Also changed socket link knife cut to a more convenient shortcut - Ctrl LMB tweak
This changes how textures are accessed from Brushes, with the intention of simplifying
the workflow, and reducing the amount of clicking. Rather than the previous texture slots
(which didn't work as a stack anyway), brushes now have a single texture linked. Rather
than taking time having to set up your slots in advance, you can now select and change
textures directly as you sculpt/paint on the fly. For complex brushes, node textures can
be used, or for fast access, it's easy to make a duplicate of your brush with the texture
you like and assign a hotkey.
Brush textures can now be chosen from a new Textures panel in the brush tool
properties - click on the thumbnail to open a texture selector. This is done using a new
variation on the ID template - the number of rows and columns to display in the popup
can be customised in the UI scripts.
- remove console zoom operator, use WM_OT_context_cycle_int instead.
- use WM_OT_context_cycle_int for text editor zoom also (Ctrl +/- and Ctrl+MouseWheel)
Adds a new set of bones to rig types which are to be used for weight paint vgroups, in some these have some more segments to account for twist. also use Aligoriths new copy transform constraint.
from bpy.app import binary_path, version, version_string, home
can add constant variables from blender here as needed (maybe functions too... bpy.app.memory_usage() ?)
- add back quad split order option.
note: tested displacement baking and found it matches 2.4x. there is still a missing check which ignores the active object when baking selected to active but Im not sure in what cases this is needed.
bpy.types.register(MacroClass)
instead of
bpy.ops.add_macro(MacroClass)
The rest is unchanged.
Also remove some now unused code for the old registration methods (there's still some remaining).
Now the default eye separation value is 0.10 (reasonable for games with 1 meter == 1 B.U.
The focallength used is the camera focal length (DOF settings). It allow you to even use different focal lengths for different scenes (good for UI)
In order to change it you can change the camera focal length or use Rasterizer.setFocalLength.
If you use the Rasterizer method it will use this value for all the cameras.
ToDo:
- Blenderplayer settings
- Update wiki documentation (any volunteer)?
* Note to stereo fans:
I don't have a real stereo environment to test it (other than cheap cyan-red glasses). If you can give it a try in a more robust system and report bugs or problems with BGE current system please let me know. I would be glad to help to make it work 100% by the time Blender 2.5 is out.
For the record, BGE is using the method known as 'parallel axis asymmetric frustum perspective projection'. This method is well documented here:
http://local.wasp.uwa.edu.au/~pbourke/miscellaneous/stereographics/stereorender/
Now, there are preset brushes made for each tool type (eg. for sculpt mode, Grab,
Draw, Inflate, etc), and the recommended method for changing sculpt tools is to
change between Brushes. The shortcut keys for changing between tools have
now been changed to change between named brushes - the G key in sculpt
mode now changes to any brush named 'Grab'.
The advantages of this are:
* Changing between brushes remembers the strength/size/texture etc settings for
each brush. This means that for example, you can draw with a strong textured
Clay brush, but then switch quickly to a weaker, untextured Smooth brush,
without having to re-do your settings each time.
* You can now add your own custom shortcut keys to your own custom brushes -
just add a keymap entry similar to the existing ones, that references your own
custom brush names.
To bring over these new default brushes to an existing B.blend setup, just
append them in from the new B.blend in svn.
Useful if you have 2 different characters with the same base mesh (matching indicies), and want to copy a facial expression for eg, from one to another.
Durian request to re-use shapes between characters.
* Copies the active shape to other selected objects
* Different methods to apply the shape
* * OFFSET, simple translation offset
* * RELATIVE (EDGE/FACE), Use Barycentric transformation to copy the shape. This means the target mesh can be a different orientation and scale and the shape should still apply since the surrounding geometry is used as a basis for the offset.
bug: barycentric transform's depth was inverted.
Note:
* This isnt added into a menu yet,
* This cant be redone since adding a shape key messes up the redo stack. needs fixing for other scripts too.
py_function_args wasnt working right (was using function namespace for function args), use pythons inspect module instead.
move the function to get a type description into rna_info
- view docs menu item opens sphinx URL
- can be searched (even when local)
- uses rna_info module for introspection
- also documents python defined functions and decorator properties (defined in bpy_types.py)
- experemental python file:line references for python operators.
* Moved 'change shortcut' (previously directly RMB on menu items) to a context-menu item, and added Remove Shortcut and Add Shortcut. This is all available now in a RMB context menu for operator buttons and menu entries.
* Renamed a bunch of key maps to be consistent with UI names, and human-readable. Since these key map names are now being directly used in the UI for people to find things, they should be understandable and in plain language.
This renaming may break some older saved key map setups - though previously saved .b25.blends should convert over ok. Exported .py files may need some find/replacing - in this commit check the changes in resources.c to see what's changed.
- T was 'Flatten Brush', now Shift+T
- added an option to OBJECT_OT_subdivision_set to set the level relatively (so page up/down works), however RNA lets it set one level higher then the maximum, this seems displays OK in the 3D view so not sure whats going on here (as if there is always an extra hidden multires level).
- ToolSettings had its id.data set to NULL when taken directly from the context (causing a crash in cases)
- menu for changing vert/edge/face selection now a python menu, removed operator.
- wm.context_set_value(), would really prefer not to have this since it evaluates the value as a python expression however there are no ways to define arrays in PyOperators
- Add "Get Result" button after a job has been sent (this calls Animate and fetches the results back as render result buffers)
- Rendering (animate or single frame) without an active job was broken. Note that this launches a new job for each frame (it's impossible in a render engine to know if an animation is being rendered or a single frame only).
- Patch by Olivier Amrein (prettying the web interface with css, fixing some notification bugs)
- More error checks on the slave (better behavior when job is canceled)
- Client: when using "Animate on Network" and canceling render midway, also cancel job. Use Send Job and Animate if you want a real background job.
Mostly the same as the recently added editmode tool with some extras.
* Options to disable filling in the rim between inner and outer surface, since its faster not to detect this in cases where its not needed.
* Option to disable high quality normal calculation, mostly noticable when operating on building walls, not needed for cloth or more organic shapes.
* Option to disable 'even thickness', again, not needed in some cases.
Also options for creasing inner/outer and rim edges, need this for makign Sintels cloths solid since zero crease looks far too soft.
note:
* UVs and VCols etc are copied to the new skin however rim faces dont get the UVs or vcols set from the faces they are created from yet.
* Normals are assumed to be pointing outwards
* used patch from Uncle Entity as a template since it added the DNA and RNA entries but the actual modifier from the patch wasnt used.
Takes into account the hierarchical structures of keymaps as well as wildcards (KM_ANY) in event definitions, user remaps (emulate numpad, action/select mouse buttons, ...) and event values that overlap (click, press and release)
For now, doesn't do anything other than print conflicts in the console.
As a result, I cleaned up a lot of keymaps that had double definitions, moved some keymap items in more appropriate places, fixed wrong definitions and removed kmi that were added for testing a long long time ago.
Out of all the remaining conflicts, after removing obvious non-issues, here's what remains: http://www.pasteall.org/9898
New unique ID per keymap item (unique inside their keymap) for default and configuration keymaps.
This allows restoring a single user defined kmi to its previous (default or config) values instead of having to restore the whole keymap.
The restore item button is disabled for kmi added by the users (they don't have an ID).
Also fixes a bug in the rna function for add keymap item (parameter order was incorrect, messing adding back saved configurations).
Display job status in web interface
Better use of Reports api for errors and success notifications
Don't show some Client options if server address is default (hasn't been scanned or entered manually yet)
Currently access by selecting a marking and binding with the active camera from the view menu.
Note:
after long discussion we decieded there is no nice way to do this.. animate pointers? animate multiple camera visibility?, use sequencer? use NLA?.... have a kind of event system (like framechange scriptlinks)... etc
so this is ifdef'd with DURIAN_CAMERA_SWITCH
Now the key maps are displayed in a hierarchical list which you can
browse through. As well as in the main list, modal key maps are also
available in context, for example, if you unfold out a Transform key
map item, you'll be able to fold out and access its modal key map underneath.
More work to do, including search, better operator browsing, etc.
Still need to revise the ordering/hierarchy and clean up naming to be
consistent too, it's a bit of an 'evolved' mess right now.
Thanks to theeth for some initial work here too.
use a real object for files instead of a tuple
unique urls for files, logs and render results (just missing the proper mime type for exr files)
fix bug with slaves not getting the correct machine name
Separated preview drawing into own ARegion, this should make using View2D possible
The Sequencer now has three view types: Sequencer, Preview and split Sequencer/Preview.
Changing the preview can be done either by the combobox in the header or toggling through those types with CTRL+TAB.
Notes:
* Icon for split Sequencer/Preview view missing still.
* Naming items in the comboboxes can be improved (just Preview instead of Image Preview?)
Next steps:
* bringing back View2D handling (zoom/pan) for image preview
* experimenting with splitting the Preview ARegion for In/Out editing
* option to roll the delta of the arm rig.
* fix to copy metarig type
* renamed EditBone.align() --> EditBone.align_roll()
* Added EditBone.align_orientation(other)
* Added bone.vector: same as (bone.tail - bone.head)
* Added a User-Pref option for the "XYZ to RGB" colour-mode setting for new F-Curves to compliment the one used for Keying Sets. With this option enabled, the builtin Keying Sets also can obey this option.
* Made all places that were previously manually checking the flags for keyframing to use a standard API function to do this now.
* Fixed bug introduced earlier today in commit 25353 by reverting the changes to keyingsets.c. Forgot that delete_keyframe doesn't handle do the "entire array" hack with array_index = -1
* Fixed bug with the insert-keyframe code for the array_index = -1 case, where too many channels were being keyed (i.e. an imaginary channel was often keyed in addition to the valid ones)
Also put a bit more logic for guessing player paths based on my system.
If anyone can make this a bit more clever/bulletproof, please feel free to
get involved in it, it's all python!
