It is now possible to use the Outliner for managing the active action
of an ID-block (provided that it appears in the Outliner), which
should be a bit better than having to go through the NLA Editor.
So far, this only allowing unlinking actions, using some existing
operators. To use:
1) Navigate through the Outliner tree to find the
Object/Material/Lamp/etc. that the animation belongs to. (NOTE: this
doesn't work in Datablocks mode, but should in the normal "All Scenes"
and related modes)
2) Expand the "Animation" entry below this
3) Right-click on the Action entry below this, and select "Unlink"
from the RMB menu
In the process, I've fixed problems with some data-blocks not showing
their animation data in Outliner.
* Mesh Animation-Data was not shown. Other data types would get this
shown.
* Added attempted fix for the problem where when you try to expand the
last item in a RNA list or so, you often end up expanding the first
item (and then have to close and try again, at which point the expand
works as you expected the first time round). More testing needed, but
seems to work better already
* Removing the last of the owner/ownertype stuff. The bulk of this
stuff was removed in Part3 of the refactor, but it seems I forgot to
actually remove these struct members at the end of that.
* Texture datablocks without animdata aren't skipped immediately
anymore. This could lead to texture nodetrees on animdata-less
textures getting skipped.
This commit is aimed at cleaning up the filtering code by changing the
filtering idiom/pattern used. While the old code used a "check then
do" approach, the new code does a "grab then assimilate".
The main benefits are that:
* the code duplication that used to exist has now been removed, making
it easier to add new channel types for data
* a recursive "peeking" ability now means that the old problems with
data existing deep in the tree (i.e. figuring out whether a channel
should be shown based on whether it will have any descendents) should
now work much better than before.
In the process, I've found and fixed a few previously unnoticed bugs
with how some channels were constructed, so hopefully things work a
bit better now.
TODO's:
* Action-Group filtering stuff hasn't been refactored yet. This was
causing some grief in the past, so I still need to check this
carefully.
* Material Nodes support (missing in trunk) should be easy to slot in
now :)
Python:
* adds bpy.app.handlers which contains lists, each for an event type:
render_pre, render_post, load_pre, load_post, save_pre, save_post
* each list item needs to be a callable object which takes 1 argument (the ID).
* callbacks are cleared on file load.
Example:
def MyFunc(scene): print("Callback:", data)
bpy.app.handlers.render_post.append(MyFunc)
C:
* This patch adds a generic C callback api which is currently only used by python.
* Unlike python callbacks these are not cleared on file load.
Usage currently is limited to:
- Panel text, widget text and label text style:
point size, shadow effects
Setting individual fonts to these is not possible yet, it uses the
default for it.
Access goes via outliner now; check "User Preferences". UI team could
add this in userpref scripts :)
This was causing a lot of backward compatibility problems and side effects.
It has to be done properly, linked with Material ObjectColor shader_flag or at least the TF OBCOLOR (which apparently worked at some point so I've been told).
If you need to use OBCOLOR simply keyframe the obcolor and it will work as before.
* BL_DeformableGameObject is no longer responsible for handling keys, BL_ShapeDeformer is
* BL_ShapeDeformer also creates a copy of the key on construction and puts it back on the mesh when destructed. This avoids us permanently modifying Blender data.
* I'm not too fond of clearing out the key every frame, but this works and I can't think of another alternative at the moment (something may be possible with some key juggling)
In addition the billboards can be scaled by the particle velocity with optional head and tail factors (similar to line drawing options). This allows for pseudo-motionblur effects.
