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 makes sense because the pages to export checkboxes are here. The
export modal should be sort of a "last-chance" settings thing... not
actual core settings.
- Add an opacity value for exported layer.
- Add a conversion button in the toolbar for old PyPRP Ages
which used the diffuse color factor as the opacity value.
As requested by Doobes, we now have buttons that enable Plasma Object on
everything and all Textures. These are mostly useful for the case of
updating from PyPRP, which was opt-out and totally ignored the
checked-ness of Textures.
This is done using the new checkboxes on the page list under the World
panel. Seemed like the best way to do it within our format. Perhaps the
rest of the exporter options should move to that panel at some point.
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?
We are attempting to encourage the pages=layers paradigm; however, this is
not strictly enforced. This commit has lots of bits and bobs but little
actual substance. More to come when I begin work on the exporter.
