Now relative filenames that are not below the .blend file
in the directory hierarchy can be used.
CAUTION:
The relative filenames are not updated if the blend file
is moved to another dir or saved into another dir (save as)
We will rely on the smartness of the users for this.
my first official commit - thanks Ton!
There were a couple of issues with the implementation:
- there was no proper test if selected strips would be cut or not
- cutting meta strips could go very wrong... for example when the cut
of meta was in an internal gap. With meta's being recursive, and too
complex, I've disabled Meta-cutting
- added an OK menu for hotkey K
- added warnings when no cut was done
This is the first time in 6 years I do work in sequencer... man, this has
grown into a messy bizz! Like sequence variables... using names like:
start, startdisp, startstill, startoffs... totally confusing here. Could
use giant cleanup! Implementation was weak from scratch though, Mea Culpa!
1:
* when a blendfile gets loaded, paths are corrected with OS specific slashes (see blender.c)
* made available BLI_char_switch(char *string, char from, char to)
* made available BLI_clean(char *string);. This function should be called whenever you're doing path stuff, so paths are correctly saved, and thus avoiding other path functions stopping to work
2:
* relative paths work now in sequencer too (due to slash mess that didn't work all too well).
- added in new transform the (not so useful but yah) old feature that
does scrollwheel zoom during transform
- had to change transform call arguments for uv-window/sequence/oops to
match new transform for mouse callback
TODO (for martin?)
- pulldown menu support to call with local axes compliant as for pressing
it with hotkey
- mirrormenu() still uses old transform stuff...
File name (40) and dirname (80) were too short in sequence data. Made it
compliant using defines FILE_MAXFILE and FILE_MAXDIR.
Also replaced all strcpy() and strcat() with strncpy/strncat, with the
defines in it.
Oh, also fixed plugin path length for sequence, was just 80!
Bug fix#2366
Restored old convention that made using SHIFT+CTRL while using button-
sliders go with 0.1 stepsize of CTRL.
(noticed too late that Chris Burt assigned to self... sorry!)
NOTE: BLI_winstuff.h was meant to be a wrapper around windows.h to handle
undefining various crap that windows.h defines. Platform specific headers
should only have to be included in a few places. This reduces the number
of inclusions of BLI_winstuff.h to 16 which is a much more reasonable
number (than the 144 or whatever it used to be)
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!
This was actually a wrong pointer check in fileread that caused no harm
in past, but with UI-less file save it wreaked havoc!
Decided to add undo in sequencer window after all... it also involved
saving Meta strip settings in files. Very nice :)
this consists of 22 different ways to sweep from 1 strip to another. For you windows lovers: it's like "Blinds" in Powerpoint :)
- in the NKEY menu you can choose which type you want perform, vertical, horizontal, in/out etc. it's too much to decribe.
Credits for this go to Kent 'Sirdude" Mein who coded the sequence plugin I stole the code from.
To allow certain sequence effects to have settings, I also added a "varstr" void pointer to the Sequence DNA, that can point to a special struct for each effect. This is similar to how plugins are handles.
more neat effects to come....
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)

When more than 30 scenes are in a scene, the sequencer "Add" option didnt
show a databrowse window.
This was a nasty one, because databrowse facilities are more-of tied to
having a header. The fix is that I added option to IDnames_to_pupstring()
to not limit the menu (by passing NULL for menu short pointer).
Also noticed a bug with pupmenu_col(), which did return on a val==0 event
(mouse release) which shouldn't be, this makes sequences of menus not
possible.
colors. This because of the pretty weird (ab)use of load & make editmesh...
For each added undo step, the load_editmesh was fed with an empty mesh
to assign data to, without knowledge of what was in the original mesh.
That way UV and color data got lost.
Solved it in 2 steps:
1. removing the ->tface pointer from EditVlak, and make TFace a builtin
struct inside EditVlak. This didnt cost much extra mem, since it already
stored UV and color. This enabled some pretty cleanup in editmesh.c as
well, storing tface pointers was cumbersome.
2. for each undo step, it then generates always a tface and mcol block to
link to the undo Mesh.
Even when it wasn't in the actual Mesh, at exit editmode the original
Mesh is used as reference anyway, and undo-meshes are freed correctly.
The enormous commit is because I had to change the BLI_editVert.h file, and
found it was included in about every file unnecessary. I removed it there.
ALso found out that subsurf has code ready (unfinished) to make UV coords for
the displaylist in EditMode as well, nice to know for later...
include only (use BIF_interface.h instead)
- split up interface.c in two files: NEW: interface_panel.c
- removed the temporal text files
WARN: FIX AUTOMAKE AND MSVC!
- removed src/buttons.c and include/BIF_buttons.h
- added src/buttons.txt, which is the old buttons.c for review and adding
code to new panels structure
- changed internal events to match new buttonspace structure
- added tabs for new shading group of buttons
- removed loads of little warnings, -Wall now compiles src/ almost without
error (hint: setenv NAN_QUIET to see it all better)
Now I'm ready to do actual buttons -> panels conversion. I will do the raw
versions first, others then can cleanup
size of this;
Finally, the Sequencer audio support and global audio/animation sync stuff!
(See http://intrr.org/blender/audiosequencer.html)
Stuff that has been done:
./source/blender/blenloader/intern/writefile.c
./source/blender/blenloader/intern/readfile.c
Added code to make it handle sounds used by audio strips, and to convert
Scene data from older (<2.28) versions to init Scene global audio settings
(Scene->audio) to defaults.
./source/blender/include/BSE_seqaudio.h
./source/blender/src/seqaudio.c
The main audio routines that start/stop/scrub the audio stream at
a certain frame position, provide the frame reference for the current
stream position, mix the audio, convert the audio, mixdown the audio
into a file.
./source/blender/makesdna/DNA_sound_types.h
Introduced new variables in the bSound struct to accomodate the sample
data after converted to the scene's global mixing format (stream, streamlen).
Also added a new flag SOUND_FLAGS_SEQUENCE that gets set if the Sound
belongs to a sequence strip.
./source/blender/makesdna/DNA_scene_types.h
Added AudioData struct, which holds scene-global audio settings.
./source/blender/makesdna/DNA_sequence_types.h
Added support for audio strips. Some variables to hold Panning/Attenuation
information, position information, reference to the sample, and some flags.
./source/blender/makesdna/DNA_userdef_types.h
./source/blender/src/usiblender.c
Added a "Mixing buffer size" userpref. Made the versions stuff initialize
it to a default for versions <2.28.
./source/blender/makesdna/DNA_space_types.h
./source/blender/src/filesel.c
Added a Cyan dot to .WAV files. Any other suggestions on a better color? :)
./source/blender/src/editsound.c
Changes (fixes) to the WAV file loader, re-enabled some gameengine code that
is needed for dealing with bSounds and bSamples.
./source/blender/src/editipo.c
./source/blender/src/drawseq.c
./source/blender/src/editnla.c
./source/blender/src/space.c
./source/blender/src/drawview.c
./source/blender/src/renderwin.c
./source/blender/src/headerbuttons.c
- Created two different wrappers for update_for_newframe(), one which scrubs
the audio, one which doesn't.
- Replaced some of the occurences of update_for_newframe() with
update_for_newframe_muted(), which doesn't scrub the audio.
- In drawview.c: Changed the synchronization scheme to get the current audio
position from the audio engine, and use that as a reference for setting
CFRA. Implements a/v sync and framedrop.
- In editipo.c: Changed handling of Fac IPOs to be usable for audio strips as
volume envelopes.
- In space.c: Added the mixing buffer size Userpref, enabled audio scrubbing
(update_for_newframe()) for moving the sequence editor framebar.
./source/blender/src/editseq.c
Added support for audio strips and a default directory for WAV files which
gets saved from the last Shift-A operation.
./source/blender/src/buttons.c
Added Scene-global audio sequencer settings in Sound buttons.
./source/blender/src/sequence.c
Various stuff that deals with handling audio strips differently than
usual strips.
- drawXXXspace, changeXXXspace, and winqreadXXXspace now receive the area
and spacedata as explicit arguments, allowing them to access private
data w/o going through globals.
- pass the new BWinEvent through to the winqreadXXXspace, allowing future
access to extended event data.
Removed direct calls to winqreadXXXspace to simulate user actions, replaced
by calls to action functions in edit.c or the appropriate handler.
