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.
OK, this commit does a lot, and it was hard to separate the changes, so
mega-commit.
- We now export stencils in such a way that Plasma layers can be affected
by multiple stencils, theoretically matching the Blender behavior
- We don't try to animate stencils or even offer animation options. This
is nonsense.
- In our zealousness to skip over illegal texture slots, there was a bug
introduced in which we queried texture fcurve paths illegally,
potentially causing animations to be exported incorrectly. This has been
fixed.
- There was a potential issue with the animation command node's material
option in which the message could be sent to the wrong page. This has
been corrected by making the Object field mandatory for all animation
types.
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 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.
