Blender Git Commits

Major documentation updates. The original Freestyle API reference
(http://freestyle.sourceforge.net/doc/html/index.html) has been
incorporated into the Blender/Freestyle Python API implementation
in the form of Sphinx-based embedded docstrings. Some C++-specific
descriptions of classes and functions were revised so that they are
suitable for Python programmers. Missing docstrings were filled,
and sparse descriptions were extended. By means of the new
documentation system for Blender, an up-to-date Freestyle Python
API reference will be part of the Blender 2.5 documentation.

SVN maintenance.

- for BGE mouse and keyboard events use tuples rather then lists
- pep8 corrections

bugfix and cleanup
- BGE Shader.setSampler(name, index): index range check was wrong.
- Compositor check for an invalid channel was incorrect.
- getting the center of selected verts used an uninitalized z axis.
- do_init_render_material() used && rather then & when testing for MA_TRANSP.
- weight paint activate flipped bone used && rather then & for flag checking.

move camera lens/angle conversion to BLI_math

Quicktime audio export: force AAC sample rate to be <=48kHz to avoid later codec error + potential quicktime mem leaks fixes

AAC Codec does not handle sample rates above 48kHz.

Patch #21789 - BGE Keyboard and Mouse Python types - by Mitchell Stokes(Moguri)
The patch exposes mouse and keyboard read-only properties in the GameLogic module
Also renames bge.keys to bge.events (* Note: name of bge submodules (logic, render, ...) may change before 2.5 final release [right Campbell?]).

"""
This patch adds two new types to the BGE:
SCA_PythonKeyboard
SCA_PythonMouse

These two types allow users to make use of the keyboard and mouse without the need for a keyboard or mouse sensor.

SCA_PythonKeyboard has an events property that acts just like SCA_KeyboardSensor.events.

SCA_PythonMouse also has an events property to check for mouse events. Further more it supports getting and setting normalized cursor position (from 0.0 to 1.0) with SCA_PythonMouse.position. The cursor can be shown/hidden using SCA_PythonMouse.visible.
"""

Its use is similar with current mouse and keyboard controllers. With the exception of mouse position being normalized and writable as well (replacing Rasterizer.setMousePosition).

Code Sample:
######
from bge import logic, events

mouse = logic.mouse
keyboard = logic.keyboard

for key,status in keyboard.events:
if status == logic.KX_INPUT_JUST_ACTIVATED:
if key == events.WKEY:
print(mouse.position)
# move_forward()

mouse.visible = True # turn cursor visible
mouse.position = 0.5,0.5 # centralize mouse - use tuple
######

* Important Note: mouse.position still will not work properly for Letterbox mode.
In order to fix letterboxing I may need to move the set x,y mouse function to inside the canvas code (to avoid duplicated code between mouse sensor and bge.logic.mouse). I'll leave this for another commit though.
Thanks Mitchell for the work on that.

PThreads "fix" for CMake / MSVC
I heard that the actual solution would be to remove #include <pthread.h> from BLI_threads.h
But in the mean time is not fair to CMake/MSVC to be the only system not building ;)

Added missing/better tooltips for Array modifier

-->Fix for compile on MSVC

Expansion of BASE_MATH_MEMBERS macro meant that
two consecutive semicolons were in the source in
most header files that used it.

fix for uv project modifier, broke when angle was removed.

add the modules directory from the user scripts path (if it exists)

[#22045] Memory leak in Mathutils.Matrix
own fault when adding mathutils callbacks, generic destructor didnt free the matrix accessor array, made the array apart of the matrix struct since its not worth malloc'ing to save at most 16bytes.

Fix [#21559] Loopcut and scale problem.

Force mesh out of face select mode and into edge mode when doing loop cut -
it left an invalid edge selection in face mode, especially with edge slider afterwards.

Grease pencil->beizer curve conversion fix: handles used to have
the same coordinates as points.

Also send additional notification at the end of conversion operator,
which is needed for correct interface updating (active object could
be changed in operator but interface wouldn't be updated).

Fix warning, also added error message for the case of no filename passed.

Turned off 'Emulate 3 button mouse' in default startup blend.

In this day and age most people have 3 button mice, so this option can now be the
exception not the rule - causes enough issues with conflicts. This commit won't
disturb existing saved configs.

Fix for possible null pointer, from uncle entity in irc

'Fix' [#21119] volumetric material always casts shadows

Revealed hidden 'options' panel for volumes too.

Fix [#21492] "Align to view" option from tools panel's operator part doesn't works.

Also changed some usage of CTX_wm_region_view3d(C) to ED_view3d_context_rv3d(C)
