Sorry your browser is not supported!

i am starting a 2D RPG. so far i am just working the menu. There is a lot of positioning and such that i am doing, sliding menus things like that and i need to test it often. i dont allow escape to kill the program but instead use a function so taht sprites can be deleted.

Exit()


this is called when a quit button is pushed. after i run the app about 60 times it starts acting up. sprites not showing and eventually the backdrop not showing and the sliding menus moving at snails pace. I restart my computer and it works again. Now im wondering if the dbDeleteSprite(1) actually does that or if it keeps pounding these into memmory.

does GDK have the equivalent of DBPro's flush video memory? that might help.

dont see such a command in the documentation.

Is this my memory leak? it says D3D9 already called a bunch of times. Got my hardware monitors going and i lose 3-4MB of video memory every run... very strange...

Maybe this is the wrong place to post this now. Id past my whole source here but i dont want to be laughed at for how i handle things lol...

ummmm just saying you might wanna try the flush video memory command cuz technicly dbc "doesn't have it" according to the documentation but its there and it doesn't cause a error. hmmmm lol

im in DarkGDK and c++ 2008 express. what would the command be?

dbFlushVideoMemory()?

that doesnt seem to work. still loosing 4mb per run and that doesnt recover the memory.

does dbFlushVideoMemory cause a crash?

(i dunno gdk stuff but in DBPro there are no parentheses used with the command). and, the multiple d3d9 calls can't be a good thing (thinking maybe they are not being deleted/released correctly upon exit).

i'd re-ask this question in the gdk forum. you should be able to get better help there since most people don't check/expect code questions here on the 2d board. i did a little searching there for 'memory' and found a few inquiries on leakage, etc. that might pertain. if this is a sprite/image issue, one thread in particular might be of help as it mentions some undocumented commands found in DarkGDKImage.h .

good luck!
