* Undoing the previous applyMovement() changes for characters. This was causing bugs for the Motion Actuator.
* Creating a Character Motion type for the Motion Actuator with specific controls for characters. This includes moving, rotating and jumping.
* Adding a KX_CharacterWrapper.walkDirection to set the character's direction and speed.
Note, this also resolves the following bugs:
[#33585] "Setting dLoc of motion actuator [0,0,0] via python won't stop object" reported by Manuel Bellersen (urfoex)
[#33503] "Character physics type won´t accept more than one motion anymore" reported by Mr Larodos
===============================================
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.

Notes:
* Game and sequencer RNA, and sequencer header are now out of date
a bit after changes in trunk.
* I didn't know how to port these bugfixes, most likely they are
not needed anymore.
* Fix "duplicate strip" always increase the user count for ipo.
* IPO pinning on sequencer strips was lost during Undo.
Clamp objects min/max velocity.
Accessed with bullet physics from the advanced button with dynamic and rigid body objects.
- useful for preventing unstable physics in cases where objects move too fast.
- can add linear velocity with the motion actuator to give smooth motion transitions, without moving too fast.
- minimum velocity means objects don't stop moving.
- python scripts can adjust these values speedup or throttle velocity in the existing direction.
Also made copy properties from an object with no properties work (in case you want to clear all props)
This patch modifies the way the setParent actuator and KX_GameObject::setParent() function
works when parenting to a compound object: the collision shape of the object being parented
is dynamically added to the coumpound shape.
Similarly, unparenting an object from a compound object will cause the child collision shape
to be dynamically removed from the parent shape provided that is was previously added with
setParent.
Note: * This also works if the object is parented to a child of a compound object: the
collision shape is added to the compound shape of the top parent.
* The collision shape is added with the transformation (position, scale and orientation)
it had at the time of the parenting.
* The child shape is rigidly attached to the compound shape, the transformation is not
affected by any further change in position/scale/orientation of the child object.
* While the child shape is added to the compound shape, the child object is removed from
the dynamic world to avoid superposition of shapes (one for the object itself and
one for the compound child shape). This means that collision sensors on the child
object are disabled while the child object is parent to a compound object.
* There is no difference when setParent is used on a non-compound object: the child
object is automatically changed to a static ghost object to avoid bad interaction
with the parent shape; collision sensors on the child object continue to be active
while the object is parented.
* The child shape dynamically added to a compound shape modifies the inertia of the
compound object but not the mass. It participates to collision detection as any other
"static" child shape.
Implementation of the PHY_IPhysicsController::SetMargin(),
GetMargin(), SetRadius() and GetRadius() for Bullet and Sumo
to allow resetting the Near sensor radius. For bullet use
the new setUnscaledRadius() function to change sphere radius.
In pPreparation of a Fh constraint actuator:
- Add KX_IPhysicsController::GetRadius()
- Fix implementation of KX_BulletPhysicsController::GetVelocity()
(velocity at a point in geometric coordinate)
- Don't try to set velocity on static object (Bullet will assert)
- Add KX_GameObject::GetVelocity() for C access to local velocity
First batch of optimizaton of the bullet adaptation layer in the BGE.
- remove circular motion state update.
- optimization of physic adaptation layer for bullet: bypass
unecessary conversion of rotation matrix to quaternion and back.
- remove double updates during object replication.
This patch introduces two options for the motion actuator:
damping: number of frames to reach the target velocity. It takes
into account the startup velocityin the target velocity direction
and add 1/damping fraction of target velocity until the full
velocity is reached. Works only with linear and angular velocity.
It will be extended to delta and force motion method in a future
release.
clamping: apply the force and torque as long as the target velocity
is not reached. If this option is set, the velocity specified
in linV or angV are not applied to the object but used as target
velocity. You should also specify a force in force or torque field:
the force will be applied as long as the velocity along the axis of
the vector set in linV or angV is not reached. Works best in low
friction environment.
Added newlines at end of a bunch of files that didn't have them.
removed a couple of unused variables and an extra ';'
(Also removed config.h crap from these files)
