for scons WITH_BF_FHS enabled an alternative layout eg.
scons WITH_BF_FHS=1 BF_INSTALLDIR="/usr/local"
for CMake just run "make install" after make (CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is used for the base path)
Currently only scripts use both the system and user path correctly, other areas of blender have their own path code inline with lots of ifdefs, needs to be carefully updated.
It was getting very annoying, hitting it by accident and having the region disappear. Now, you can still hide the region by resizing it down to zero, or by using the hotkeys (i.e. N, or T in the 3D View).
Perhaps this minimising would be better done in a RMB menu on sub-regions (i.e. like previous Header: top/bottom/hide stuff)
more bugfixes:
* removed refreshing code at file_init again, causes issues when resizing
* free library in the filelist after use
* make sure directory exists when library file for append/link doesn't exist, so browsing can continue from valid dir.
* Fixed mixdown volume being int instead of float
* Fixed audio muting for sequencer not working
* Added 3D listener settings with RNA (not working in GE yet)
Sometimes, events for window size or move are sent even when the window hasn't changed. This triggers unneeded refreshes.
As a precaution, we now ignore all such events (eventually, it should be done in Ghost X11, but I don't know that code well enough).
* fix selection related bugs:
** selection outside filelist would select first item
** border select would enter directory even if more than one is selected
* Copy Rotation constraint "should" work ok for custom rotation orders now. It now converts both rotations to the form used by the owner. So far, this doesn't seem to have broken any of the test rigs in my test-suite, though new specimens for the hall of flakiness are always welcome.
* Fixed many RNA wrapping bugs for Armature data.
- Fixed a few wrong tooltips
- Made proper refreshes for restpose/posed, etc.
* Started converting special quaternion interpolation for Pose Sliding tools (push/relax/breakdown), though this doesn't seem to be working correctly yet.
-->> Help to get these working right is welcome :)
* #19419: PoseLib rename/remove tools could crash when an invalid
(However, now care is needed when touching that index field, since the warnings can keep piling up)
* Added Browse Poses for PoseLib to the toolbar
* Removing constraints from bones now properly updates. A DAG rebuild is now forced, and the constraint flags are cleared.
* Attempting to improve the situation with Copy Rotation constraint and rotation orders other than xyz. Unforunately, it looks like a different method is required...
* Relax and Push are now interactive. Moving the mouse left<->right decreases/increases (respectively) the number of times the pose is relaxed or pushed. The sensitivity on this could be tweaked as necessary.
* Cancelling these 'pose sliding' tools now correctly restores the initial pose
* Autokeyframing is now only done when the operator is confirmed.
--
Also, made 'View persp/ortho' <-> 'View Persp/Ortho' to be more in line with other operator names, but to also make it easier to read.
* #19397: Properties panel (transform panel in 3D-View) crashed when there was no active posechannel.
* Breakdown/Push/Relax Pose tools crashed when auto-keyframing was enabled. There where 2 main causes here: 1) laziness to try and avoid having to clear some data everytime, 2) a typo for one of the KeyingSet names
Added the new pose tools in the toolbar.
Changed a few armature values to enums.
Brecht: The Heads/Tails enum seems to also enable armature.draw_axis, and the paths_type enum affects armature.draw_names
* Updating Preview Range settings results in correct updates for Animation Editors
* Compositing nodes now correctly animate when the values were set by IKEY/RMB on suitable node parameters. Beware that these nodes are not relinkable node-trees, hence the standard code not working.
* Ctrl-P to parent objects to bones now works in Pose Mode too. I needed to add a special keymap entry for this, though I thought this would have been better to be automatically inherited/present from Object keymap already?
* Ctrl-P -> Parent to Bone option now works correctly again. 1.5 lines of code missing here...
* Breakdowns tool now shows custom cursor during 'modal' phase so that it's not that confusing what's going on.
* Breakdown tool for Poses (Shift-E in PoseMode) now works. Now this works as a modal operator when invoked, with the horizontal movement of the mouse (left to right) corresponding the placement of the breakdown relative to the endpoint keyframes.
* Moving bones between armature layers in Edit Mode didn't work (wrong variable name used)
* Fixed several notifier-related bugs regarding editing armature settings and the 3d-view not refreshing
* Duplicating bones preserves the rotation mode
* Animation Data for Nodes is now show in Datablocks viewer (i.e. AnimData for NodeTrees has now been wrapped)
This commit restores the 'Relax Pose' tool, and also introduces two others: 'Push Pose' and 'Pose Breakdowner'.
Be aware that this commit is just the initial starting point, with some parts yet to be done.
A short description of these tools follows:
* Relax Pose (Alt-E) - makes the current pose more like the poses on either side of it
* Push Pose (Ctrl-E) - exaggerates the current pose
* Breakdowner (Shift-E)[not working yet] - when this works, it will allow for interactive selection of a good in-between pose to act as a breakdown.
Todo's:
* Connect up the 'percentage' slider in the operator settings to allow these effects to be dialed in/out, exaggerating/relaxing/moveing-between-keyframes by varying degrees until the desired effect is reached.
* Allow these effects to be interactively dialed in/out. The idea is to use the mouse to interactively set the percentage slider value initially, then use the percentage slider to tweak later.
* Figure out why breakdown breaks down
* VecLerp3f and Vec2Lerp3f - interpolate 3 2d/3d vectors from 3 weights
* AngleToLength(angle) - useful for making even width shell/walls based on the angles of the surrounding geometry from each point. (same method used in 2.4x python solidify script).
also quiet some warnings.
* Screen keymap is now split up in two, some of the area/region
manipulation operators here need to be handled before others.
* Moved paint/sculpt/sketch out of the 3d view keymap, these were
there as a workaround, now with keymap poll no longer needed.
* Also fixes#19297, 3d cursor moves when combing in particle mode.
issues like Shift+R (repeat last) not giving capital R in the text
editor. There is also new modal handler list at the window level,
and the API call will always add it to that one now, since modal
handlers were not used in other levels.
The order used to be:
* window modal + keymap
* area modal + keymap
* region modal + keymap
Now it is:
* window modal
* region keymap
* area keymap
* window keymap
- remove falloff setting now the curve is used.
- bugfix for airbrush & tablet, with no movement it would assume 1.0 pressure.
- rna, use the use_* prefix for brush options.
