Without fakeuser set, blender will toss out the actions on save and reload.
Converting to an nla strip might take care of that, but I haven't figured
out how to do that yet, so avoid any nasty surprised for the user.
Eye position, auto rotation, sync type and particle effects can now all be
edited in blender: both import and export do the right thing. The settings
can be found in the "QF MDL" panel of the "Object" tab of the properties
view.
Just about to do a release, and I realized windows users wouldn't have any
way of checking out the new renderer. I'll add wglsl when I get a chance to
do some testing.
o All instances of LIBADD/LDADD have a corresponding DEPENDENCIES
specificatiion.
o libraries now use a lib_ldflags macro to keep things consistent
o duplication of source/lib names has been minimized (particularly in
the libraries; more work needs to be done for the executables)
o automake spec blocks have been organized (again, more work needs to be
done for the executables)
Despair has things locked down such that running qfcc during a build fails
due to lack of read access to /usr/local/lib. This is actually a good
thing as accidentally hitting old includes/libs (when a file gets deleted
in the tree) hides bugs. Thus, --no-default-paths to turn off default
search paths.

The special token __INFINITY__, like __FILE__ and friends, will expand to
a floating-point expression containing a value the C compiler considers
infinite. Obviously, this assumes that the system has relatively modern
float hardware -- but if it doesn't, having Ruamoko be able to represent
float infinity is the least of your problems. :)
I got rather tired of there being multiple definitions of mostly compatible
plane types (and I need a common type anyway). dplane_t still exists for
now because I want to be careful when messing with the actual bsp format.
The params are eye position, flags and synctype. Provision is made for
reading them from a text block on export, but nothing is done other than
retrieving the text block.
The biggest part of the speedup is reading from blender's image only once
(it seems that every read does so from GL rather than memory: ouch). Also,
cache the results for each color.
The size is actually the average area in quake units of the mesh's
triangles. Again, my results are slightly smaller (0.025).
With this, all calculable fields are set. Only eye position, flags and
synctype remain.
The calculated radius is a smidge (0.05) smaller than the original
(invisibl.mdl), but I think that's due to the difference in source data: id
used the original models, I'm using their output.
Blender must have an active shape key before shape key animation will work.
This fixes the models being locked to the first frame until a shape key is
selected via the UI.
I /did/ see the warning about vertex index 0 in the obj importer script,
but I didn't take it seriously enough. This fixes both the twisted texture
on a couple of faces, and the truly mangled tris when exporting (using
invisibl.mdl for testing).
There seems to be some problems with the UVs, only one frame is exported,
and various model params don't get set (eye position, size, bounding
radius, synctype, flags), but the size and shape look right in qf :).
Except for the normal index in the frame bounds (and potentially frame
names with junk after the terminating nul), the output is identical to the
input for:
mdl=MDL().read("invisibl.mdl")
mdl.write("test.mdl")
But only if they seem to be related (ie, the frame name is the same up to
the number). This will later become optional, but it allows me to test
some of the frame group code.
Obtaining a font has become rather expensive in recent gnustep, so cache
fonts, obtaining new ones only when needed rather than every redraw. Makes
things snappy again :)
