* Adding keyword arguments to LibLoad
- load_actions (Default: False) Ensures that all actions are loaded. Otherwise, just actions used by objects in the scene are loaded.
- verbose (Default: False) Turns on extra prints (eg SceneName: MyScene).
* Also making error reporting better for when an invalid group/idcode is given.
move calls to the classes register/unregister function into register_class() / unregister_class() and add docs.
also other minor changes:
- remove face sorting keybinding, was Ctrl+Alt+F, this is quite and obscure feature and face order normally doesn't matter, so access from Face menu is enough.
- add commented out call to mesh.validate() in addon template since its useful to correct incomplete meshes during development.
Using environment map type "load" increased user counter on each
preview render.
Also noticed that this type of envmap use wasn't threadsafe, causing
imbufs being allocated for all threads. Also fixed that.
ui/ --> startup/bl_ui
op/ --> startup/bl_operators
scripts/startup/ is now the only auto-loading script dir which gives some speedup for blender loading too.
~/.blender/2.56/scripts/startup works for auto-loading scripts too.
* Particle emission now updates all parent objects too to the exact emission time.
* This only does object level animation as updating the object data for every particle would be too slow.
* A better fix could be to interpolate the emission location directly from the current particle emission location and the location from the previous frame, but for this some point cache changes have to be made, so it will have to wait.
Modified to only do one lookup.
from Martin:
"Basically, what it does is allow you to add register and unregister class methods to rna types, this way you don't have to rely on module register/unregister methods to setup your types properly (and it makes them easier to move around when reorganizing code and easier to understand what a type does when reading code). This is especially nice for PropertyGroup classes that are added as properties to existing types, you can easily see in their register methods where they are added and removed in their unregister method. Obviously, those two methods are optional, so current code still works fine."
weighted normals as the render engine, and the render engine will copy
normals from the mesh rather than always recalculating them.
Subsurf/multires still use regular vertex normals, but they are expected
to be sufficiently high resolution to not need this.
This means that normal maps displayed in the viewport actually match the
render engine exactly and don't have artifacts due to this discrepancy.
It of course also avoids unexpected surprises where your render normals
look different than your viewport normals.
Subversion bumped to 4 for version patch to recalculate normals.
Patch by Morten Mikkelsen, with some small changes.
* Separate out selection flags from file type flags, was bothering me since forever ;)
* Also renamed ACTIVEFILE to SELECTED_FILE to better reflect actual usage in code.
* Fix crash introduced with last commit, better check for valid selection
Patch from Alexander Kuznetsov: Toggle selection rather than just extending.
Implements behaviour that unintendedly was available with previously using macro operator for selection. This was removed and now the functionality is properly implemented.
Patch accepted with minor changes:
1. Used enum rather than #defines and added value for removing from selection (deselect)
2. Moved if (select) outside file_select_do and improved check for whether last file in selection is actually selected. (Necessary since toggle can deselect and toggle select should still make file active)
3. Additionally fixed check in file_select_invoke to be consistent with border select.
Patch from Alexander Kuznetsov: Real-time File Selection, thanks for the contribution.
Still made a few minor changes from latest patch:
1. Rename SELECTEDFILE to HILITED_FILE, since we are not actually selecting the file, but previewing/highliting the possible selection.
2. Also made this clearer by not drawing the files as selected, but just highlight them.
3. Removed the Select/Deselect toggle when clicking on file, will be committed separately soon.
