---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Rasterizer code was relying in the values defined on TF_ DNA files. I'm working in the recode of TexFace, bringing the options to the material panel and ran into those cases. They are hard to spot and add a lot of the "magic" effect to the code. Hardcoded values are at least easy to spot. We (still) have a few defines duplicated, relying on each other (a flag previously defined in the code is checked later on but using a different define (although with same value. (e.g. TF_BMFONT and RAS_RENDER_3DPOLYGON_TEXT). It's hell =)
I'm adding some comments to help on that.
Things will be revamped anyways, but it's nice to keep the code a bit more coherent before the real feature commit. That's all, thanks for listening.
From the tracker:::
Issues fixed:
- ConeTwist-constraint's params weren't making it to the CcdPhysicsEnvironment, also added Hinge's params.
- UI wasn't using angles where applicable.
- btHingeConstraint's constructor can create frame-matrices which don't align so the hinge doesn's start at 0 degree tilt.
This is an issue when setting limits.
Changes:
- UI: Hinge limits can be set (and disabled).
- UI: ConeTwist only has max-limits and only the twistX can be disabled
- PyApi via rna_constraint.c: added the functions limit_xyz_min, limit_xyz_max (for 6dof), limit_angle_xyz_min,
limit_angle_xyz_max (for 6dof), limit_angle_x_min, limit_angle_x_max (for hinge).
- PyApi: dropped python-function limit_cone_min.
.:. Extra:
UI Changes:
- renamed "RigidBody Joint" to "Rigid Boidy Joint"
- reorganized UI to conform with other parameters (e.g. Limit Rot)
- added dis/active all over the place :)
X_Material's mScene member variable wasn't properly set on merge if it didn't have an mBlenderShader defined. This patch always makes sure it gets set on merge.
example of usage:
0) Game Properties: text (String) and log (Boolean=True)
1) Keyboard Sensor set to AllKeys with log as logging and text as Target
2) Expression Controller: text=="quit\n"
3) Game Actuator: Quit Game
[1] <-> [2] <-> [3] .:. this will quit the game when you write quit + Enter
4) Keyboard Sensor: set to Return
5) And Controller
6) Property Actuator: Assign text property to ""
[4] <-> [5] <-> [6] .:. this will reset the string everytime you press Enter
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
Since the change is in the InputParser.cpp it actually affects all the text
input fields in the Logic Editor. So for instance you can use it in the
assign Property Actuator.
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
Connect an expression controller: text="idclip\n" with an actuator to disable
the Collision of your walls and you can re-create Doom with only Logic Bricks (:
I have no idea why this hasn't been implemented before (the DEFINES were even there already). But since the Ipo (Fcurve) Actuator supports it I don't see why Action and ShapeKey shouldn't.
More than a new feature or a bugfix this is actually a step forward into unifying them.
after discussion over the mailing-list it seems that it really makes no sense to restrict that. Specially since we have the "Property" playback mode that usually will be a float.
Since there is no need for do_version or whatoever I don't see a problem. Any Thoughts? Maube to allow it only through the Python API?
----------------------------------
While we are more and more moving towards enabling features in the Python API, it's also important to have Logic Bricks working with no scripts.
This option allows you to start the game with the mouse cursor on (it's on Render Buttons). The defalt is still off (no do_version needed here).
Support for physics is done by skiping the modifiers that
don't support mapping to original mesh. This mapping is
required to report the hit polygon to the application
by the rayCast() function.
Support for graphics is done by using the same render
function that blender uses for the 3D view. This guantees
equal result.
Limitation: there is still a known bug if all these conditions are met:
- Display list enabled
- Old tex face with a several textures mapped to the same material
- no armature or shape keys
- active modifiers
In this case, only a part of the mesh will be rendered
with the wrong texture. To avoid this bug, use the GLSL
materials or make sure to have 1 material=1 texture in
your old tex face objects.
Since rev.2 (hans ftw) we have a strange situation where horizon color was being used at Convert time for the WorldInfo background color (and for the fog). However through the Python API only the Rasterizer background color was being updated. On top of that the KX_KetsjiEngine.cpp::SetBackGround was using the WorldInfo bgcolor when render mode was the potato one (TEXTURED). Bottomline, when in potato mode the glClearColor used was the original one in worldinfo, not the API updated one in Rasterized.
