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.
Export all images right-side up. OpenGL flips them because fail, so we
have to do a bit of work to correct that. Thankfully, this operation is
not as slow as I thought.
NOTE TO SELF: remember, texture page updating would be nice to have...
To ensure that there are really, really, REALLY no race conditions related
to coordinate interfaces, we now run through all modifiers before we
export and ask them if they need to make Coordinate Interfaces. I was
hearing some comments about clickables warping around. This sounds like
physical coordinate issues to me...
This means we now export BOTH plDyanmicEnvMap and plDynamicCamMap. The
latter will only be exported on MOUL+, sadly. The former is "cube" mapping
and the latter is "plane" mapping. Instead of manually specifying the
refresh rate, I decided that Blender's "static" option means that it only
refreshes once (and never again) and animated means we refresh every 0.01
second, which seems to be the Cyan standard for "update every frame, blast
it!" NOTE: when cameras are exporting, we need to support Camera based
DCMs.
Static image based CEMs coming soon...
Previously, it appeared visually that only one material was applied to the
mesh. Appearances can be deceiving. We were actually exporting all
materials and such correctly. However, because we were using a dyanmic
type with class attributes to store per-material data... All materials
shared all data. So, all materials rendered all vertices. You saw visually
the one last material rendered. Fun, eh?
This includes changes to the light baking code to ensure that we don't
bake runtime lights. This code has several places it could be optimized in
the future when we have larger ages to test against.
This should make the average age look a little bit better. I hope... If
you want to get rid of this crappy lighting, create a vertex color layer.
Or, better yet, add a stupid lightmap modifier!
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!
It appears that we were storing PyHSPlasma objects in class attributes, so
they were being held after the plResManager went away--therefore their
keys were nuked. We should probably be holding keys and not objects, but
this fix works regardless.
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.
