Credits go to Gernot Ziegler, who originally coded EXR support, and to
Austin Benesh for bringing it further. Kent Mein provided a lot of code
for integrating float buffers in Blender imbuf and ImBuf API cleanup,
and provided Make and Scons and static linking.
At this moment; the EXR libraries are a *dependency*, so you cannot get
the Orange branch compiled without having OpenEXR installed. Get the
(precompiled or sources) stuff from www.openexr.com. Current default is
that the headers and lib resides in /user/local/
Several changes/additions/fixes were added:
- EXR code only supported 'half' format (16 bits per channel). I've added
float writing, but for reading it I need tomorrow. :)
- Quite some clumsy copying of data happened in EXR code.
- cleaned up the api calls already a bit, preparing for more advanced
support
- Zbuffers were saved 16 bits, now 32 bits
- automatic adding of .exr extensions went wrong
Imbuf:
- added proper imbuf->flags and imbuf->mall support for float buffers, it
was created for *each* imbuf. :)
- found bugs for float buffers in scaling and flipping. Code there will
need more checks still
- imbuf also needs to be verified to behave properly when no 32 bits
rect exists (for saving for example)
TODO:
- support internal float images for textures, backbuf, AO probes, and
display in Image window
Hope this commit won't screwup syncing with bf-blender... :/

**** NEW: Group Nodes
Node trees usually become messy and confusing quickly, so we need
not only a way to collapse Nodes into single 'groups', but also a
way to re-use that data to create libraries of effects.
This has been done by making a new Library data type, the NodeTree.
Everything that has been grouped is stored here, and available for
re-use, appending or linking. These NodeTrees are fully generic,
i.e. can store shader trees, composit trees, and so on. The 'type'
value as stored in the NodeTree will keep track of internal type
definitions and execute/drawing callbacks. Needless to say, re-using
shader trees in a composit tree is a bit useless, and will be
prevented in the browsing code. :)
So; any NodeTree can become a "Goup Node" inside in a NodeTree. This
Group Node then works just like any Node.
To prevent the current code to become too complex, I've disabled
the possibility to insert Groups inside of Groups. That might be
enabled later, but is a real nasty piece of code to get OK.
Since Group Nodes are a dynamic Node type, a lot of work has been
done to ensure Node definitions can be dynamic too, but still allow
to be stored in files, and allow to be verified for type-definition
changes on reloading. This system needs a little bit maturing still,
so the Python gurus should better wait a little bit! (Also for me to
write the definite API docs for it).
What works now:
- Press CTRL+G to create a new Group. The grouping code checks for
impossible selections (like an unselected node between selected nodes).
Everthing that's selected then gets removed from the current tree, and
inserted in a new NodeTree library data block. A Group Node then is
added which links to this new NodeTree.
- Press ALT+G to ungroup. This will not delete the NodeTree library
data, but just duplicate the Group into the current tree.
- Press TAB, or click on the NodeTree icon to edit Groups. Note that
NodeTrees are instances, so editing one Group will also change the
other users.
This also means that when removing nodes in a Group (or hiding sockets
or changing internal links) this is immediately corrected for all users
of this Group, also in other Materials.
- While editing Groups, only the internal Nodes can be edited. A single
click outside of the Group boundary will close this 'edit mode'.
What needs to be done:
- SHIFT+A menu in toolbox style, also including a list of Groups
- Enable the single-user button in the Group Node
- Displaying all (visible) internal group UI elements in the Node Panel
- Enable Library linking and prevent editing of Groups then.
**** NEW: Socket Visibility control
Node types will be generated with a lot of possible inputs or outputs,
and drawing all sockets all the time isn't very useful then.
A new option in the Node header ('plus' icon) allows to either hide all
unused sockets (first keypress) or to reveil them (when there are hidden
sockets, the icon displays black, otherwise it's blended).
Hidden sockets in Nodes also are not exported to a Group, so this way
you can control what options (in/outputs) exactly are available.
To be done:
- a way to hide individual sockets, like with a RMB click on it.
**** NEW: Nodes now render!
This is still quite primitive, more on a level to replace the (now
obsolete and disabled) Material Layers.
What needs to be done:
- make the "Geometry" node work properly, also for AA textures
- make the Texture Node work (does very little at the moment)
- give Material Nodes all inputs as needed (like Map-to Panel)
- find a way to export more data from a Material Node, like the
shadow value, or light intensity only, etc
Very important also to separate from the Material Buttons the
"global" options, like "Ztransp" or "Wire" or "Halo". These can not
be set for each Material-Node individually.
Also note that the Preview Render (Buttons window) now renders a bit
differently. This was a horrid piece of antique code, using a totally
incompatible way of rendering. Target is to fully re-use internal
render code for previews.
OK... that's it mostly. Now test!

anything parented to it.
Fix for #3596 (http://projects.blender.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3596&group_id=9&atid=125)

not use the proper call to increase user count && set the action to get
a tag "extern linked". This caused actions to get lost when indirectly
linked from library files.
|

To enable dynamic tiff support.
I had to fix some of the logic in the fileselect box for icons,
I also expanded the patch to look in various default locations for
a dynamic libtiff.so/libtiff.dll
and look at the env variable BF_TIFF_LIB if it can't find it automatically.
If unable to load the library it prints a message about setting BF_TIFF_LIB
to the console.
I haven't been able to test it on a lot of platforms but hopefully it
will just work ;) I added the files to scons but have not had a chance to
test that as well.

This adds Radiance HDR image file support. So now at least we can save
the 'fbuf' (4x32 bits float colors) in Blender.
It doesn't change anything for internal support in imbuf for floa colors,
so when reading .hdr files it still converts it to 32 bits RGBA.
As an extra I've added that saving images with F3 now also adds the
optional extension, when the F10 "Extensions" option is set.
One important note; I don't know the proper license for the code, it was
provided without... will await feedback from Alfredo about it. For now
I've added the standard Blender GPL header.

does not cycle (not jump back to start frame on the end).
Mac users can also use Apple+ScrollWheel btw!

animation (Ctrl F11) similar to rendering a still with F12 and showing it in
the buffer with F11.

- convert weightpaint/vertexpaint to draw using drawMappedFaces, slightly
hacky because during weightpaint mcol's get overridden in order to
have them propogate through modifiers. should work fine.
- add NULL check in shaded draw, prevents crash w/ dupliframe
|
|
- Hotkey CTRL+TAB toggles weightpaint on/off
- If Mesh has no vertex groups yet, it still accepts Weight Paint mode.
Then, on a first painting stroke it creates a default group.
- When combining WeightPaint mode with Bone selecting, if you select a
Bone without vertex group it draws Mesh dark blue. On a first painting
stroke it then also creates a new group, with the Bone name.

- switched almost all uiDefBut(..., TOG|BIT|..) to use UiDefButBit and the
name of the actual bit define instead of just a magic constant, this makes
searching the code much nicer. most of the credit here goes to LetterRip
who did almost all of the conversions, I mostly just checked them over.

- PoseMode now is a state Armature Objects can be in. So, while in PoseMode
for an Armature, you can just select another Object or Armature.
- The old PoseMode options (transform, insert keys etc) are accessible
with making the Armature Object 'active' (and have object in PoseMode).
- At this moment no multiple Poses can be transformed/edited at the same
time.
- The old hotkey CTRL+TAB, and view3d header menu, still work to set an
Object's PoseMode
It was quite a lot recode, so tests & reports are welcome.
Oh, as a bonus I added Lasso Select for Bones in PoseMode! It selects using
only the line between root and tip of the Bone.

- appropriate callers of makeDispList replaced with depgraph calls
- unappropriate places just killed... small chance this gives some
errors in corner cases if dep graph isn't notified (example, font
family displists) but these can be tracked down as they show up.
- still a large number of callers of makeDispListCurveTypes, but
makeDispListMesh has just a few.

Aim was to get a total refresh of the animation system. This
is needed because;
- we need to upgrade it with 21st century features
- current code is spaghetti/hack combo, and hides good design
- it should become lag-free with using dependency graphs
A full log, with complete code API/structure/design explanation
will follow, that's a load of work... so here below the list with
hot changes;
- The entire object update system (matrices, geometry) is now
centralized. Calls to where_is_object and makeDispList are
forbidden, instead we tag objects 'changed' and let the
depgraph code sort it out
- Removed all old "Ika" code
- Depgraph is aware of all relationships, including meta balls,
constraints, bevelcurve, and so on.
- Made depgraph aware of relation types and layers, to do smart
flushing of 'changed' events. Nothing gets calculated too often!
- Transform uses depgraph to detect changes
- On frame-advance, depgraph flushes animated changes
Armatures;
Almost all armature related code has been fully built from scratch.
It now reveils the original design much better, with a very clean
implementation, lag free without even calculating each Bone more than
once. Result is quite a speedup yes!
Important to note is;
1) Armature is data containing the 'rest position'
2) Pose is the changes of rest position, and always on object level.
That way more Objects can use same Pose. Also constraints are in Pose
3) Actions only contain the Ipos to change values in Poses.
- Bones draw unrotated now
- Drawing bones speedup enormously (10-20 times)
- Bone selecting in EditMode, selection state is saved for PoseMode,
and vice-versa
- Undo in editmode
- Bone renaming does vertexgroups, constraints, posechannels, actions,
for all users of Armature in entire file
- Added Bone renaming in NKey panel
- Nkey PoseMode shows eulers now
- EditMode and PoseMode now have 'active' bone too (last clicked)
- Parenting in EditMode' CTRL+P, ALT+P, with nice options!
- Pose is added in Outliner now, with showing that constraints are in
the Pose, not Armature
- Disconnected IK solving from constraints. It's a separate phase now,
on top of the full Pose calculations
- Pose itself has a dependency graph too, so evaluation order is lag free.
TODO NOW;
- Rotating in Posemode has incorrect inverse transform (Martin will fix)
- Python Bone/Armature/Pose API disabled... needs full recode too
(wait for my doc!)
- Game engine will need upgrade too
- Depgraph code needs revision, cleanup, can be much faster!
(But, compliments for Jean-Luc, it works like a charm!)
- IK changed, it now doesnt use previous position to advance to next
position anymore. That system looks nice (no flips) but is not well
suited for NLA and background render.
TODO LATER;
We now can do loadsa new nifty features as well; like:
- Kill PoseMode (can be option for armatures itself)
- Make B-Bones (Bezier, Bspline, like for spines)
- Move all silly button level edit to 3d window (like CTRL+I = add
IK)
- Much better & informative drawing
- Fix action/nla editors
- Put all ipos in Actions (object, mesh key, lamp color)
- Add hooks
- Null bones
- Much more advanced constraints...
Bugfixes;
- OGL render (view3d header) had wrong first frame on anim render
- Ipo 'recording' mode had wrong playback speed
- Vertex-key mode now sticks to show 'active key', until frame change

Important notes:
- Full compatibility with old text objects not fully restored
(word spacing will be 0.0, need to set it manually to 1.0), will
either need version upgrade to 238 or a hack. Will check.
- lorem.c (about to be committed) contains BF copyright notice, but as
BF did not exist a few hundred years ago, probably best to remove it :)
- If you notice any cross-platform issues (especially beloved windows),
please report
- A few tiny warnings left, I will fix those issues still.
The rest has been said already - so have fun testing. And please do!
=== Reminder:
=== Documentation at http://blender.instinctive.de/docs/textobject.txt ===

openEXR testing only. It broke sequence plugins...
Note: adding variables in end of Imbuf struct at least doesn't crash old
sequence plugins immediately. :)
|
|
ESC for other situations... so might work well after all.

(Looks like big commit, but is mostly just change of API call!)
Particle emittors now can be parented to an armature Bone, and give the
correct path for each particle. Note that this doesn't work for deform!
And, for each particle the entire armature is evaluated, all actions and
NLA strips.
It used to work a little while BTW, but the code just called ALL armatures
and made ALL deforms again. Was quite slow... thats why the API call
change: do_all_actions() now accepts Object * to only do that one. With
a NULL it now does all still. Will disapppear in recode of course...

removed leftovers from Freeimage/Imagemagick experiments
and removed stuff from a Quicktime for linux implementation.
Also removed the (win32) Fullscreen button from the UI and
disabled the corresponding commandline option. The code is
still present to reenable the option whenever the ATI issues
get solved.
|
|
did last friday. A patch will be available in the patches tracker
that will have the current stuff there until everything is working.

To enable it you will need to download OpenEXR and install it.
For the Makefiles you will need to set WITH_OPENEXR=true
and set NAN_OPENEXR to point to where OpenEXR is installed.
For scons you'll need to remove config.opts to get the new options
so you can enable OpenEXR, I was not able to get blender to link
with scons so the scons stuff may need to be tweaked a little but
I think it should work.
For other platform managers The OpenEXR stuff is similar to QUICKTIME
you need to define WITH_OPENEXR and setup the library stuff and
as you'll notice in this commit there are two extra files.

lot of casts, added prototypes, missing includes and some true errors

Render:
- New; support for dual CPU render (SDL thread)
Currently only works with alternating scanlines, but gives excellent
performance. For both normal render as unified implemented.
Note the "mutex" locks on z-transp buffer render and imbuf loads.
- This has been made possible by major cleanups in render code, especially
getting rid of globals (example Tin Tr Tg Tb Ta for textures) or struct
OSA or using Materials or Texture data to write to.
- Made normal render fully 4x32 floats too, and removed all old optimizes
with chars or shorts.
- Made normal render and unified render use same code for sky and halo
render, giving equal (and better) results for halo render. Old render
now also uses PostProcess options (brightness, mul, gamma)
- Added option ("FBuf") in F10 Output Panel, this keeps a 4x32 bits buffer
after render. Using PostProcess menu you will note an immediate re-
display of image too (32 bits RGBA)
- Added "Hue" and "Saturation" sliders to PostProcess options
- Render module is still not having a "nice" API, but amount of dependencies
went down a lot. Next todo: remove abusive "previewrender" code.
The last main global in Render (struct Render) now can be re-used for fully
controlling a render, to allow multiple "instances" of render to open.
- Renderwindow now displays a smal bar on top with the stats, and keeps the
stats after render too. Including "spare" page support.
Not only easier visible that way, but also to remove the awkward code that
was drawing stats in the Info header (extreme slow on some ATIs too)
- Cleaned up blendef.h and BKE_utildefines.h, these two had overlapping
defines.
- I might have forgotten stuff... and will write a nice doc on the architecture!

Rotate edges was unfinished still, and not supposed to work on large
selections. Code cleaned up some, and restricted to work on a single
selected edge, or two adjacent selected faces.
Also changed menu description, and give error() on wrong selection.
2) Fix for undo mixup in texteditor
Global hotkey list now passes on ctrl+z (global undo) to local queue
in textwindow. (Also for ctrl+y). Scriptwindow also doesn't accept
global undo key.
|
|
- Undo in texteditor didnt work, event (ALT+U) was swallowed by new undo
menu (ALT+U too)
- global undo doesnt restore UI's as we know... so undo-ing with a text
editor active cannot always restore correct text block you were editing.
As extra service I added that when no restore is possible, it links to
the first block available.
|
|
- Changed shortcut of "Align Active Camera to View" to
Ctrl+Alt+Numpad0 to make it Windows-friendly.
- Old shortcut of Shift-Numpad0 still works (until we find some other
use for it!)
Could use testing on KDE/Gnome, etc - incase we make X do somersaults or something equally daft! :P
|
|
- press TAB without object active cleared undo stack
- typo (another!) in variable name, causing undo stack from wrong object
to be used (when have edited more objects)
Plus i found:
- rule for preserving editmode undo stacks, while using global undo, made
stricter now. Before it only checked name, now it checks for existance
of pointers extra.

The outliner is a hierarchical diagram displaying a list of data in Blender
and its dependencies. The 'databrowse' doesn't really show it, and Oops is
too chaotic still. And most of all, the former two don't offer much tools.
After discussions on irc, Matt came with this design proposal;
http://mke3.net/blender/interface/layout/outliner/
Which is closely followed for the implementation.
The current version only shows all 'library data' in Blender (objects,
meshes, ipos, etc) and not the 'direct data' such as vertex groups or NLA.
I decided to make it inside the Oopw window, as an option. You can find the
option in the "View" pulldown, or directly invoke it with ALT+SHIFT+F9
Here's a quick overview of the Outliner GUI:
- Header pulldown has options what it can show (Visible = in current layers)
- click on triangle arrow to open/close
- press AKEY to open/close all
- Leftmouse click on an item activates; and does based on type a couple of
extra things:
- activates a scene
- selects/activates the Object
- enters editmode (if clicked on Mesh, Curve, etc)
- shows the appropriate Shading buttons (Lamp, Material, Texture)
- sets the IpoWindow to the current IPO
- activates the Ipo-channel in an Action
- Selected and Active objects are drawn in its Theme selection color
- SHIFT+click on Object does extend-select
- Press DOTkey to get the current active data in center of view
TODO;
- rightmouse selection; for indicating operations like delete or duplicate
- showing more data types
- icon (re)design...
- lotsof options as described in Matts paper still...
|
|
- made ctrl+tab menu for selectmode only pop up in editmode mesh
- changed lasso code in zbuffer-select mode, that it also accepts lines
as lasso
|
|
Meaning menus come back to previous selection almost always. Also fixed
annoying bug that caused Mirror menu (M in editmode) to start at 2nd item
- New hotkey (test :) CTRL+TAB in editmode gives (and shows!) current
selectmode. I prefer this over cycling, since the menu is informing you
what happens.
- To enforce pupmenus to start at specific item, use pupmenu_set_active()
- pupmenu_col() to be done

The changelog is very long... it's on the web too:
http://www.blender3d.org/cms/Mesh_editing_rewrite.425.0.html
EditMesh refactor notes (user)
**** New selection modes
When entering Edit Mode for a Mesh, you now have the choice for three selection modes. These are shown as icons in the 3D header (hotkey is being searched for!).
- Vertex Select
Select vertices as usual, fully compatible with how previous version work
- Edge Select
Vertices are not drawn anymore, and selections happen by default on the edges. It is a true edge select, meaning that you can select three out of four edges in a face, without automatic having the 4th edge selected.
- Face Select
Instead of vertices, now selection 'points' are drawn in the face centers. Selected faces also get a colored outline, like for edges. This also is true face select, for each face individual regardless selection status of its vertices or edges.
While holding SHIFT, and press a selection mode, you can also combine the above choices. Now selection becomes mixed, and will behave as expected.
For example; in Edge+Face select mode, selecting the 4 edges of a face will select the face too.
The selection modes and optional drawing modes (like transparant faces, normals, or solid drawing) all work together. All of Blender's mesh editing tools now react to the correct selection mode as well.
Most noticeable it's in:
**** Extrude
Extruding in Edge or Face Select mode allows much more precise control over what's extruded and what should be excluded. Try for example a checker pattern selection, and extrude it.
New is the fixed translation when faces are extruded. This always follows the (averaged) face normal(s) of the old face(s), enabling much easier working in 3D views . A single 'G' (Grab) or 'R' (Rotate) or 'S' (Scale) will change transform modus as usual.
**** Other things to note
- Hiding edges/faces will also behave different based on Select Mode.
- while editing, normals of faces are updated always now
- Border select (BKEY) has 2 different rules for edges; when one edge is fully inside of the border, it will only select edges that are fully inside. Otherwise it selects each edge intersecting with the border.
- in face mode, adding vertices, edges or a circle is invisible...
- "Add monkey" now works as a normal primitive (rotated and on 3d cursor)
- Mesh undo was fully recoded, hopefully solving issues now with Vertex Keys and Groups
- Going in and out of editmode was fully recoded. Especially on larger models you'll notice substantial speed gain.
**** Todo
Add 'FaceSelect mode' functionality in EditMode, including zbuffered selection, display and editing of UV texture.
EditMesh refactor notes (coder)
**** Usage of flags in general
The "->f" flags are reserved for the editmesh.c and editmesh_lib.c core functions. Actually only selection status is there now.
The "->f1" and "->f2" flags are free to use. They're available in vertex/edge/face structs. Since they're free, check carefully when calling other functions that use these flags... for example extrude() or subdivide() use them.
**** Selection flags
EditVert: eve->f & SELECT
EditEdge: eed->f & SELECT
EditFace: efa->f & SELECT
- Selection is only possible when not-hidden!
- Selection flags are always up-to-date, BUT:
if selection mode >= SELECT_EDGE vertex selection flags can be incorrect
if selection mode == SELECT_FACE vertex/edge selection flags can be incorrect
This because of shared vertices or edges.
- use for selecting vertices:
eve->f &= SELECT
- use for selecting edges always:
void EM_select_edge(eed, 1) // 1 = select, 0 = deselect
- use for selecting faces always:
void EM_select_face(efa, 1) // 1 = select, 0 = deselect
- To set the 'f' flags in all of the data:
void EM_set_flag_all(int flag);
void EM_clear_flag_all(int flag);
- the old faceselectedOR() and faceselectedAND() are still there, but only
to be used for evaluating its vertices
**** Code hints for handling selection
If the selectmode is 'face'; vertex or edge selections need to be flushed upward. Same is true for 'edge' selection mode. This means that you'll have to keep track of all selections while coding... selecting the four vertices in a face doesn't automatically select the face anymore.
However, by using the above calls, at least selections flush downward (to vertex level). You then can call:
void EM_selectmode_flush(void);
Which flushes selections back upward, based on the selectmode setting. This function does the following:
- if selectmode 'vertex': select edges/faces based on its selected vertices
- if selectmode 'edge': select faces based its selected edges
This works fine in nice controlled situations.
However, only changing the vertex selections then still doesn't select a face in face mode! If you really can't avoid only working with vertex selections, you can use this call:
void EM_select_flush(void);
Now selection is flushed upward regardless current selectmode. That can be destructive for special cases however, like checkerboard selected faces. So use this only when you know everything else was deselected (or deselect it). Example: adding primitives.
**** Hide flags
EditVert: eve->h
EditEdge: eed->h
EditFace: efa->h
- all hide flags are always up-to-date
- hidden vertices/edges/faces are always deselected. so when you operate on selection only, there's no need to check for hide flag.
**** Unified undo for editmode
New file: editmode_undo.h
A pretty nice function pointer handler style undo. Just code three functions, and your undo will fly! The c file has a good reference.
Also note that the old undo system has been replaced. It currently uses minimal dependencies on Meshes themselves (no abuse of going in/out editmode), and is restricted nicely to editmode functions.
**** Going in/out editmode
As speedup now all vertices/faces/edges are allocated in three big chunks. In vertices/faces/edges now tags are set to denote such data cannot be freed.
ALso the hashtable (lookup) for edges uses no mallocs at all anymore, but is part of the EditEdge itself.

- made undo/redo display of previewrender nice
|
|
detected as others, LR_COMMANDKEY
Unline previous commit, Apple key doesnt map to control anymore, but is
handled separate where needed. Now only for undo (Apple-Z)
|
|
- Made unified API for undo calls, to be found in space.c
BIF_undo_push(char *str)
BIF_undo(void)
BIF_redo(void)
These calls will do all undo levels, including editmode and vpaint.
The transition is work in progress, because mesh undo needs recode.
- New global hotkey CTR+Z for undo
Note: 'shaded draw mode' still is SHIFT+Z, the old CTRL+Z was to recalc
the lighting in shaded mode, which already became much more interactive,
like during/after any transform().
Recalc hotkey now is SHIFT+ALT+Z
CTRL+<any modifier>+Z is redo.
- For OSX users; the Apple-key ("Command") now maps to CTRL as well. This
disables the one-mouse-button hack for rightmouse btw, will be fixed in
next commit. At least we can use Apple-Z :)
- Old Ukey for undo is still there, as a training period... my preference is
to restore Ukey to "reload original data" as in past, and only use new
CTRL+Z for undo.
- Added undo_push() for all of editobject.c and editview.c. Meaning we can
start using/testing global undo in the 3d window. Please dont comment on
missing parts for now, first I want someone to volunteer to tackle all of
that.
- Since the global undo has a full 'file' in memory, it can save extremely
fast on exit to <temp dir>/quit.blend. That's default now when global undo
is enabled. It prints "Saved session recovery to ..." in console then.
- In file menu, a new option is added "Recover Last Session". Note that this
reads the undo-save, which is without UI.
- With such nice new features we then can also kill the disputed
Cancel/Confirm menu on Q-KEY.
- Added fix which initializes seam/normal theme color on saved themes.
They showed black now.... (Note: that's in usiblender.c!)
|
|
- file-to-memory save
- incremental difference steps (compression)
everthing has been tightly coded to use minimum of memcpy or allocs. In
fact this system works with a single full buffer (=file) in memory, and undosteps as differences from it.
Speed gain is factor 4-8 faster. I've added it in CTRL+ALT+T timer menu for
a test. Please note the gain is especially in the undo-storing, not in
retrieving undo.
Also new: file read option to skip UI read (file menu). This now also is
default for the undo system.

except for Texture Paint mode. Now it works for texture paint mode too.

- "Global Pivot": Maintains a global Pivot and Align mode setting for
all 3d views when enabled, instead of seperate settings per 3d view
- "Auto Perspective": Switch to ortho mode automatically on 1/3/7, and
to Perspective when the view is rotated with the mouse
- "Align mode": As suggested on the list, when enabled, transformations
on several objects only transform their locations, not their sizes or
rotations.
- Grid dotted when not 1:1
***ATTENTION***! The User Interface parts of these features have not been
committed, as I work on my own modified UI here. The three features need
toggle buttons to turn them on and off.
I used the following 3 buttons (first two features are in userprefs,
third as a 3d view setting):
uiDefButBitS(block, TOG, USER_AUTOPERSP, B_DRAWINFO, "Auto Persp",
(xpos+edgespace+(3*medprefbut)+(3*midspace)+smallprefbut+2),y3+10,smallprefbut,buth,
&(U.uiflag), 0, 0, 0, 0,

Someone needs to add these to the interface in an appropriate manner!
Thanks.

* Minor language/label cleanups I missed first time around.

messages and pupmenu()s. Edited spelling and grammar,
stylistic consistency, etc.
I added the guidelines and rationale that I used to the
CMS here:
http://www.blender3d.org/cms/Language_and_terminology.338.0.html
Next step is to get icons in there, to make it easier to see
at a glance what sort of message (and how much attention
should be paid to it, or if it can be dismissed with a flick
of the mouse, eg. boring remove doubles notifications)

- first code for panel in NLA window, tomorrow I continue with it.
|
|
fixes, including:
- Panel in action window (disabled it, since there's no need for it)
- fix: when action was added to mesh with vertex keys, the action couldn't
be deleted, nor did action window draw key names
- mouse on RVK (key) in Action window: Nkey menu pops as well.
This is not a good candidate to put in Panel, no selection possible here.
- when you change name of RVK in action window, it shows in IpoWindow too

it for the UV Image window (as Nkey replacement). Blendix can take
this further now.
Other little improvement: vertices in UV window now draw unselected
first, and then selected over it. Less confusing!
Next spaces: Action and Nla.

Animated metaballs didn't update correctly when changing frame, this when
they were parented (for example) to an object with Ipo.
The fix consists of three things:
- the test_displist() call doesn't remake displist anymore, but frees it.
this works, because when drawing an mball object it checks for a displist
and creates one when needed
- the main drawing routine drawview3d() now has a separate loop where first
all objects are updated with where_is_object(), then they're drawn.
This effectively solves lag for mballs. Might improve other lags too!
- included in NumPad-9 call to test_displist() too, to force a full upgraded
3d view

The padding is slightly messed up, so it produces somewhat trunkcated images
however it works. I'll try and fix it later but I have to go home now.
Its atleast usable at this stage.
I moved bmp_decode.c to bmp.c and cleaned it up a little bit.
