* Effectors now work with hair dynamics.
* Hair dynamics has a new "Collider Friction" parameter that works similarly to internal friction except now all collision objects effect the hair velocity. Useful for quick'n'dirty interaction with objects as the calculations are really fast, but doesn't really take away the need for proper hair-object collisions.
I forgot to say in the last commit that those arguments are only for the BlenderPlayer.
we can now set external warpdata files.
2Do:
(1) convert relative to absolute paths for warpdata files
(2) investigate weird bug on lack of light in blenderplayer with warpmesh
... [old 2Do]
(3) documentation
(4) preserve scene settings (at least scene->gm.dome) even if you load a new file inside the game (e.g. Yo Frankie loading new levels)
* The exact location of particle birth wasn't cached if cache step was greater than 1, so the interpolation from an unborn particle to a living one wasn't accurate at all.
* Although not ideal, the current solution is to copy the birth location to the previous cached frame so it's always exact. This should work properly for memory & disk cache.
* This fix shouldn't cause any problems, but exhaustive tests of caching are difficult so be sure to let me know if there's strange behavior.
2Do:
(1) open external warpdata file
(2) documentation
(3) preserve scene settings (at least scene->gm.dome) even if you load a new file inside the game (e.g. Yo Frankie loading new levels)
otherwise it's a nightmare to update all your files every time you change your projection system. See note.
Maybe SYS_WriteCommandLineInt/Float/String can be used for that. Gotta investigate further.
* Note: an external warpdata file is a must ! Currently every time you need to calibrate your system you have to update the warp file in all your demo files. This is terrible. I'm glad I *now* have a dome near by to test it ;)
* FYI: A recent 'Yo Frankie in a dome' video if you want to see how it works: http://www.vimeo.com/9629626 I'm going to record a better one tomorrow.
2.4x port by Ivo Grigull (loolarge)
from the tracker:
It should be working ok, but it does not have all options that the old script had. You can only specify the start frame
where to insert the animation, but not skip frames for have a different fps.
However, like the old script this will bloat the memory a bit, at some later point i would like to write a script that
only reads the current frame from the file when you move the timeline.
ported by Aurel W (aurel)
made adjustments to have this as a package in the extensions directory since this format isnt commonly used for interchanging data but still useful at times.
