python 3.x removes has_key from dictionaries.
Instead use __contains__, eg.
if key in gameOb: ...
Mathutils returns from PyMath.cpp were incorrectly using wrapped Mathutils types. Wrapped types should only be used with a callback now.
|
|
- when C++ uses guardedalloc SYS_DeleteSystem was called after MEM_printmemlist(), making it look like there was a leak.

python api options.
When the mesh field is left blank and Physics option is enabled, it reinstances the physics mesh from the existing mesh.
like calling gameOb.reinstancePhysicsMesh() from python.

Add support back for reinstancePhysics mesh, a frequently requested feature in the BGE forums.
from what I can tell Sumo supported this but bullet never did.
Currently only accessible via python at the moment.
- rigid body, dynamic, static types work.
- instanced physics meshes are modified too.
- compound shapes are not supported.
Physics mesh can be re-instanced from...
* shape keys & armature deformations
* subsurf (any other modifiers too)
* RAS_TexVert's (can be modified from python)
Moved the reinstancePhysicsMesh functions from RAS_MeshObject into KX_GameObject since the physics data is stored here.

define extra functions on gameObjects.
Adding a UI to set the type on startup can be added easily.
# ----
class myPlayer(GameTypes.KX_GameObject):
def die(self):
# ... do stuff ...
self.endObject()
# make an instance
player = myPlayer(gameOb) # gameOb is made invalid now.
player.die()
# ----
One limitation (which could also be an advantage), is making the subclass instance will return that subclass everywhere, you cant have 2 different subclasses of the same BGE data at once.

Remove the last of the odd C++/python wrapper code from http://www.python.org/doc/PyCPP.html (~1998)
* Use python subclasses rather then having fake subclassing through get/set attributes calling parent types.
* PyObject getset arrays are created while initializing the types, converted from our own attribute arrays. This way python deals with subclasses and we dont have to define getattro or setattro functions for each type.
* GameObjects and Scenes no longer have attribute access to properties. only dictionary style access - ob['prop']
* remove each class's get/set/dir functions.
* remove isA() methods, can use PyObject_TypeCheck() in C and issubclass() in python.
* remove Parents[] array for each C++ class, was only used for isA() and wasnt correct in quite a few cases.
* remove PyTypeObject that was being passed as the last argument to each class (the parent classes too).
TODO -
* Light and VertexProxy need to be converted to using attributes.
* memory for getset arrays is never freed, not that bad since its will only allocates once.
|
|
* all mathutils types now have optional callbacks
* PyRNA returns mathutils quat and euler types automatically when they have the rotation subtype.
* PyRNA, reuse the BPy_StructRNA PyObject rather name making a new one for each function returned.
* use more arithb.c functions for Mathutils quaternion type (less inline cruft).
* BGE Mathutils integration mostly finished- KX_PyMath now converts to Mathutils types rather then lists.
* make all mathutils types share the same header so they can share a number of functions - dealloc, getWrapped, getOwner.

rather then a generic rna sequence of floats.
Any 3x3 or 4x4 rna matrix will automatically be returned as a Mathutils matrix.
This makes useful stuff like multiplying a vector location by an object matrix possible.
ob = bpy.data.scenes[0].objects[0]
print (ob.data.verts[0].co * ob.matrix)
Also added mathutils matrix types to the BGE GameObject.localOrientation, worldOrientation
* MT_Matrix3x3 added getValue3x3 and setValue3x3, assumed a 4x3 float array.
* KX_GameObject.cpp convenience functions NodeSetGlobalOrientation, NodeGetLocalOrientation, NodeGetLocalScaling, NodeGetLocalPosition.
* 2.5 python api now initializes modules BGL, Mathutils and Geometry
* modules py3 PyModuleDef's use PyModuleDef_HEAD_INIT, rather then {}, was making msvc fail to build.
* added macros for Vector_ReadCallback, Vector_WriteCallback etc. to check if the callback pointer is set before calling the function.

thin wrapping vectors which is crash prone.
in short, vectors can work as if they are thin wrapped but not crash blender if the original data is removed.
* RNA vector's return Mathutils vector types.
* BGE vectors for GameObject's localPosition, worldPosition, localPosition, localScale, worldScale, localInertia.
* Comment USE_MATHUTILS define to disable returning vectors.
Example...
* 2.49... *
loc = gameOb.worldPosition
loc[1] = 0
gameOb.worldPosition = loc
* With vectors... *
gameOb.worldPosition[1] = 0
* But this wont crash... *
loc = gameOb.worldPosition
gameOb.endObject()
loc[1] = 0 # will raise an error that the objects removed.
This breaks games which assume return values are lists.
Will add this to eulers, matrix and quaternion types later.

python)
eg.
if 'prop' in gameOb: ...
if 'GameOb' in sce.objects: ...
|
|
Negative events would play on an actuator if it hadn't played a sound yet.
|
|
CValue derived objects could be converted to a PyObject.
so where foo is an int prop,
gameOb.get("foo") == 0, would end up returning a CValue int proxy.
This is more a problem for KX_GameObject since ListValues with python access mostly don't contain ints, strings, floats.
This also wont break games from 2.48 since the .get() function wasn't available.

the alpha blend mode of the GE. Note the alpha sorting on modified mesh is not implemented so derived mesh should not have alpha faces (clip will work though). Incidently fixed a performance problem in GLSL where the derived mesh was possibly rendered multiple times. Modifier support is still a bit experimental and should not be used in production game.

- Deprecation warnings for using attribute access
- Added dictionary functions to KX_GameObject and ListValue
ob.get(key, default=None)
ob.has_key(key)
ob.has_key is important since there was no way to do something like hasattr(ob, "attr") which can be replaced by ob.has_key("attr") - (both still work of course).
ob.get is just useful in many cases where you want a property if it exists but can fallback to a default.
- CListValue::FindValue was adding a reference but the ~3 places it was used were releasing the reference. added a FindValue that accepts a const char* type to avoid converting python strings to STR_String.
|
|
BGE PyAPI use defines for error return values
- del gameOb['var'] error message was wrong.
|
|
accept a KX_Light or KX_Camera (bad oversight on my part)
- Typo in occlusion variable init "m_buffer == NULL;" -> "m_buffer = NULL;"
CcdPhysicsEnvironment.cpp and CcdPhysicsController.cpp had too many warnings, fixed most of them.

it had while being parented.

Compound shape control
======================
1) GUI control
It is now possible to control which child shape is added to
a parent compound shape in the Physics buttons. The "Compound"
shape button becomes "Add to parent" on child objects and
determines whether the child shape is to be added to the top
parent compound shape when the game is stated.
Notes: * "Compound" is only available to top parent objects
(objects without parent).
* Nesting of compound shape is not possible: a child
object with "Add to parent" button set will be added
to the top parent compound shape, regardless of its
position in the parent-child hierarchy and even if its
immediate parent doesn't have the "Add to parent" button set.
2) runtime control
It is now possible to control the compound shape at runtime:
The SetParent actuator has a new "Compound" button that indicates
whether the object shape should be added to the compound shape
of the parent object, provided the parent has a compound shape
of course. If not, the object retain it's individual state
while parented.
Similarly, the KX_GameObject.setParent() python function has
a new compound parameter.
Notes: * When an object is dynamically added to a compound
shape, it looses temporarily all its physics capability
to the benefit of the parent: it cannot register collisions
and the characteristics of its shape are lost (ghost, sensor,
dynamic, etc.).
* Nested compound shape is not supported: if the object
being parented is already a compound shape, it is not
added to the compound parent (as if the Compound option
was not set in the actuator or the setParent function).
* To ensure compatibility with old blend files, the Blender
subversion is changed to 2.48.5 and the old blend files
are automatically converted to match the old behavior:
all children of a Compound object will have the "Add to
parent" button set automatically.
Child ghost control
===================
It is now possible to control if an object should becomes ghost
or solid when parented. This is only applicable if the object
is not added to the parent compound shape (see above).
A new "Ghost" button is available on the SetParent actuator to
that effect. Similarly the KX_GameObject.setParent() python function
has a new compound parameter.
Notes: * This option is not applicable to sensor objects: they stay
ghost all the time.
* Make sure the child object does not enter in collision with
the parent shape when the Ghost option if off and the parent is
dynamic: the collision creates a reaction force but the parent
cannot escape the child, so the force builds up and produces
eratic movements.
* The collision capability of an ordinary object (dynamic or static)
is limited when it is parented: it becomes automatically static
and can only detect dynamic and sensor objects.
* A sensor object retain its full collision capability when parented:
it can detect static and dynamic object.
Python control
==============
KX_GameObject.setParent(parent,compound,ghost):
Sets this object's parent.
Control the shape status with the optional compound and ghost parameters:
compound=1: the object shape should be added to the parent compound shape (default)
compound=0: the object should keep its individual shape.
In that case you can control if it should be ghost or not:
ghost=1 if the object should be made ghost while parented (default)
ghost=0 if the object should be solid while parented
Note: if the object type is sensor, it stays ghost regardless of ghost parameter
parent: KX_GameObject reference or string (object name w/o OB prefix)

use PY_SET_ATTR_FAIL and PY_SET_ATTR_SUCCESS return values so the fake subclassing can know if a value failed to be set or if it was missing from the type. (with PY_SET_ATTR_MISSING)
Also noticed some other mistakes.
- KX_LightObject, setting the type didnt check for an int.
- KX_SoundActuator, didnt return an error when assigning an invalid orientation value
- KX_GameObject, worldOrientation didnt return an error value.
|
|
- corrections to docs
- disallow calling controller.activate(actuator) when the controller is not active. (Raise a SystemError)
- Added 2 new attributes, CValue.name - deprecates CValue.getName(), KX_GameObject.children deprecated KX_GameObject.getChildren(), (same for getChildrenRecursive()).

collision capbility.
A new type of "Sensor" physics object is available in the GE for advanced
collision management. It's called Sensor for its similarities with the
physics objects that underlie the Near and Radar sensors.
Like the Near and Radar object it is:
- static and ghost
- invisible by default
- always active to ensure correct collision detection
- capable of detecting both static and dynamic objects
- ignoring collision with their parent
- capable of broadphase filtering based on:
* Actor option: the collisioning object must have the Actor flag set to be detected
* property/material: as specified in the collision sensors attached to it
Broadphase filtering is important for performance reason: the collision points
will be computed only for the objects that pass the broahphase filter.
- automatically removed from the simulation when no collision sensor is active on it
Unlike the Near and Radar object it can:
- take any shape, including triangle mesh
- be made visible for debugging (just use the Visible actuator)
- have multiple collision sensors using it
Other than that, the sensor objects are ordinary objects. You can move them
freely or parent them. When parented to a dynamic object, they can provide
advanced collision control to this object.
The type of collision capability depends on the shape:
- box, sphere, cylinder, cone, convex hull provide volume detection.
- triangle mesh provides surface detection but you can give some volume
to the suface by increasing the margin in the Advanced Settings panel.
The margin applies on both sides of the surface.
Performance tip:
- Sensor objects perform better than Near and Radar: they do less synchronizations
because of the Scenegraph optimizations and they can have multiple collision sensors
on them (with different property filtering for example).
- Always prefer simple shape (box, sphere) to complex shape whenever possible.
- Always use broadphase filtering (avoid collision sensor with empty propery/material)
- Use collision sensor only when you need them. When no collision sensor is active
on the sensor object, it is removed from the simulation and consume no CPU.
Known limitations:
- When running Blender in debug mode, you will see one warning line of the console:
"warning btCollisionDispatcher::needsCollision: static-static collision!"
In release mode this message is not printed.
- Collision margin has no effect on sphere, cone and cylinder shape.
Other performance improvements:
- Remove unnecessary interpolation for Near and Radar objects and by extension
sensor objects.
- Use direct matrix copy instead of quaternion to synchronize orientation.
Other bug fix:
- Fix Near/Radar position error on newly activated objects. This was causing
several detection problems in YoFrankie
- Fix margin not passed correctly to gImpact shape.
- Disable force/velocity actions on static objects

makes and fills the tuple,
since some scripts call rayCast many times in a single logic tick,
contrived benchmark shows this to be about 20% faster.

KX_GameObject.getVelocity() would set an error but nor return an error value when an non vector argument was given.
KX_PythonSeq_Type was not initialized with PyType_Ready which could crash blender when inspecting the type.

scene.active_camera can now be set so you can more easily set the current camera from python scripts without using an actuator.

This commit extends the technique of dynamic linked list to the logic
system to eliminate as much as possible temporaries, map lookup or
full scan. The logic engine is now free of memory allocation, which is
an important stability factor.
The overhead of the logic system is reduced by a factor between 3 and 6
depending on the logic setup. This is the speed-up you can expect on
a logic setup using simple bricks. Heavy bricks like python controllers
and ray sensors will still take about the same time to execute so the
speed up will be less important.
The core of the logic engine has been much reworked but the functionality
is still the same except for one thing: the priority system on the
execution of controllers. The exact same remark applies to actuators but
I'll explain for controllers only:
Previously, it was possible, with the "executePriority" attribute to set
a controller to run before any other controllers in the game. Other than
that, the sequential execution of controllers, as defined in Blender was
guaranteed by default.
With the new system, the sequential execution of controllers is still
guaranteed but only within the controllers of one object. the user can
no longer set a controller to run before any other controllers in the
game. The "executePriority" attribute controls the execution of controllers
within one object. The priority is a small number starting from 0 for the
first controller and incrementing for each controller.
If this missing feature is a must, a special method can be implemented
to set a controller to run before all other controllers.
Other improvements:
- Systematic use of reference in parameter passing to avoid unnecessary data copy
- Use pre increment in iterator instead of post increment to avoid temporary allocation
- Use const char* instead of STR_String whenever possible to avoid temporary allocation
- Fix reference counting bugs (memory leak)
- Fix a crash in certain cases of state switching and object deletion
- Minor speed up in property sensor
- Removal of objects during the game is a lot faster

controller.actuators[name] and controller.sensors[name]
Made a read-only sequence type for logic brick sensors and actuators which can access single items or be used like a list or dictionary.
We could use a python dictionary or CValueList but that would be slower to create.
So you can do...
for s in controller.sensors: print s
print controller.sensors["Sensor"]
print controller.sensors[0]
sensors = list(controller.sensors)
This sequence type keeps a reference to the proxy it came from and will raise an error on access if the proxy has been removed.

method for an object is kept.
func = ob.getMass

reference when they should not have.

not fixed but the problem is now less bad when projection painting, bilinear interpolation was rounding down.
- added gameOb.attrDict to get the internal gameObject dict.
- mesh.getVertex wasnt setting an exception.

This commit extend the technique of dynamic linked list to the mesh
slots so as to eliminate dumb scan or map lookup. It provides massive
performance improvement in the culling and in the rasterizer when
the majority of objects are static.
Other improvements:
- Compute the opengl matrix only for objects that are visible.
- Simplify hash function for GEN_HasedPtr
- Scan light list instead of general object list to render shadows
- Remove redundant opengl calls to set specularity, shinyness and diffuse
between each mesh slots.
- Cache GPU material to avoid frequent call to GPU_material_from_blender
- Only set once the fixed elements of mesh slot
- Use more inline function
The following table shows the performance increase between 2.48, 1st round
and this round of improvement. The test was done with a scene containing
40000 objects, of which 1000 are in the view frustrum approximately. The
object are simple textured cube to make sure the GPU is not the bottleneck.
As some of the rasterizer processing time has moved under culling, I present
the sum of scenegraph(includes culling)+rasterizer time
Scenegraph+rasterizer(ms) 2.48 1st round 3rd round
All objects static, 323.0 86.0 7.2
all visible, 1000 in
the view frustrum
All objects static, 219.0 49.7 N/A(*)
all invisible.
All objects moving, 323.0 105.6 34.7
all visible, 1000 in
the view frustrum
Scene destruction 40min 40min 4s
(*) : this time is not representative because the frame rate was at 60fps.
In that case, the GPU holds down the GE by frame sync. By design, the
overhead of the rasterizer is 0 when the the objects are invisible.
This table shows a global speed up between 9x and 45x compared to 2.48a
for scenegraph, culling and rasterizer overhead. The speed up goes much
higher when objects are invisible.
An additional 2-4x speed up is possible in the scenegraph by upgrading
the Moto library to use Eigen2 BLAS library instead of C++ classes but
the scenegraph is already so fast that it is not a priority right now.
Next speed up in logic: many things to do there...
|
|
- Vast performance increase when removing scene containing large number of
objects: the sensor/controller map was updated for each deleted object,
causing massive slow down when the number of objects was large (O(n^2)).
- Use reference when scanning the sensor map => avoid useless copy.
- Remove dynamically the object bounding box from the DBVT when the object
is invisible => faster culling.
|
|
rescaled. This happens when objects with very diverse scale are instantiated with dupligroup. The problem remains when the objects are rescaled during the game. The effect of the problem is an inefficient culling: objects can have a bounding box larger than needed. Patch to fix the problem is filed at Bullet forum.
|
|
with defines or batch renaming funcs (with the exception of CListValue slicing)
.
No changes for py2.x.
|
|
- renamed generic attribute "isValid" to "invalid" since BL_Shader already uses isValid.
- Moved deprecation warnings from CValue
- removed unused KX_Scene::SetProjectionMatrix and KX_Scene::GetViewMatrix
- Added KX_Scene attributes "lights", "cameras", "objects_inactive", to allow access to objects in unseen layers (before the AddObject actuator adds them)
- KX_Camera deprecated cam.enableViewport(bool) for cam.isViewport which can be read as well.
|
|
values are very small so I chose to use logarithmic scale. Should be fine, it's an advanced setting after all.
|
|
Own bug, conversion function to get an orientation from python - PyOrientationTo() ignored user input completely :| (breaking the orientation attribute)
Also made KX_GameObject worldOrientation writable and minor doc fixes.
|
|
CListValue fixes
- Disable changing CValueLists that the BGE uses internally (scene.objects.append(1) would crash when drawing)
- val=clist+list would modify clist in place, now return a new value.
- clist.append([....]), was working like extend.
- clist.append(val) didnt work for most CValue types like KX_GameObjects.
Other changes
- "isValid" was always returning True.
- Set all errors for invalid proxy access to PyExc_SystemError (was using a mix of error types)
- Added PyObjectPlus::InvalidateProxy() to manually invalidate, though if python ever gains access again, it will make a new valid proxy. This is so removing an object from a scene can invalidate the object even if its stored elsewhere in a CValueList for eg.
|
|
Supporting len(GameOb) to see how many properties it has backfired since it can then evaluate as false.
|
|
ProcessReplica.
|
|
PyObjectPlus::ProcessReplica() is now called when any of its subclasses are replicated.
This is important because PyObjectPlus::ProcessReplica() NULL's the 'm_proxy' python pointer I added recently.
Without this a replicated subclass of PyObjectPlus could have an invalid pointer (crashing the BGE).
This change also means CValue::AddDataToReplica() can be moved into CValue::ProcessReplica() since ProcessReplica is always called.
|
|
Some functions used
ProcessReplica(replica);
others
replica->ProcessReplica()
Use the second method everywhere so the PyObjectPlus's ProcessReplica() can be called from its subclasses.
Note that PyObjectPlus's ProcessReplica isnt used yet.
|
|
improved how attribute errors are set so each classes py_getattro function dosnt need to set an error if the attribute doesn't exist.
Now py_base_getattro sets an error on a NULL return value when no errors are set to avoid setting errors at multiple levels.
