I have also added some poll helpers to the idprops module so every time
we use an ID Datablock Property, we won't have to reinvent the wheel. I
also noticed that PointerProperties have to be a direct descendent of
`bpy.types.ID` otherwise Blender crashes. This kind of makes sense and
is not a huge issue to have to work around.
Added the Render > Lighting modifier that lets one specify whether or not
we should forcibly use RT lights. This allows us to change the light
baking rules to allow the baking of nonanimated Plasma lights when this
setting is disabled. The modifier also has text explaining what the
lighting results should look like.
This makes things incredibly more complex because Blender stores those
animations on the ObData ID instead of the Object ID data block. Dang. So,
the animation modifier's detection code had to be pretty much scrapped.
The newer code is a little hacky in places. Hopefully we can address this
soon-ish.
This sound emitter modifier is almost as fully functional as PlasmaMAX's various sound emitter components. Additional functionality was added to C korlib so that artists can specify OGG Vorbis sound files. If korlib is not compiled, only WAVE sounds can be utilized in Korman. This fixes some of the more fiddly bugs related to exporting to CWE that were seen in PyPRP.
Sound nodes to be implemented...
This introduces a basic soft volume interface to Korman. It currently
allows you to define simple convex "soft" regions and somewhat complex
soft regions using the soft volume modifier.
The ViewFaceMod is presented as a Swivel component, with artist-ready
presets for the typical Sprite and Billboard, as well as an advanced
'Custom' option which exposes additional features.
This allows us to ensure that a given NodeTree is only ever exported once.
A node reference acts as a way to attach a plMultiModifier to a
plSceneObject without using those terms. Things will work just fine if the
node reference isn't used, so as long as the entire tree is only used
once.
Future work: ensuring the whole logic tree is only ever exported once.
Now, an object can be a "master" animation object controlling many
animated objects when you address it with the Animation Command logic
node.
This also includes a fix for a bug that would potentially break an
animation if it were addressed by an Animation Command node.
This commit adds a footstep region modifier that exports nothing at the
moment. This is just a test case for logic node generation. If you want to
bake footstep regions into logic nodes, select an object and execute
`bpy.ops.object.plasma_logicwiz()`. :)
Still lots of considerations:
- Need to make faux lightgroups to avoid baking Plasma RT lights
- Still need to bake vertex colors
- Still need to export Plasma RT lights (D'oh!)
But, this is definitely a step in the right direction!
So this is a fairly massive chunk. I tried to get our Plasma Modifiers to
match the Blender Modifier UI fairly well. In the process, I discovered
that Blender "helpfully" hides the modifier button on Empty objects. Bah.
Significant Changes:
- Hid all of the Blender Physics mess
- The Physics context is now the Plasma Object context
- Moved Plasma Object and Plasma Synchronization to the Context Formerly
Known as Physics
- Added a Plasma Modifier Panel
Here's how you create Plasma Modifiers:
- Add your PropertyGroup to properties.modifiers
- Make sure you have a pl_id naming your modifier, a category, and a label
- Implement the export() method to actually export something useful (not
goat porn, please)
- Implement your UI draw function in ui.modifiers.
- Wasn't that easy?
