I tried it in debug mode and Destroying the UniqueSprite doesnt decreases VRAM usage

I tried it in debug mode and Destroying the UniqueSprite doesnt decreases VRAM usage

Actualy i have to take back what i have said a while ago.

My game gone very advanced and this plugin is now a crucial element of it. and yeah, i just noticed that for some reason the textures arent unload. EVER. And if i wont find a way to kick them out of the damn VRAM my game is ruined. 6months of hard work gone down the tube. And i am at point where rebuilding the game without this plugin is just out of the question.

now what.

Hi,

   Unfortunately I don't have anything setup to work on CC plugins anymore. I don't even have Visual Studio installed, and won't until it's time to make the Spriter plugin for Construct Classic, which is a ways off. It's barely changed from the vanilla sprite plugin, so anyone with basic plugin knowledge should be able to work something out.

Here's the source code:

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1013446/UniqueSprite.rar

Here is an update that releases textures when you destroy the object or load another texture.

Hopefully my build setup doesn't cause any issues.

lucid here is what changed

The destructor in Runtime.cpp:

ExtObject::~ExtObject()
{
     // No longer using this animation
     pRuntime->ReleaseAnimation(pRoot);
     renderer->ReleaseTexture(localTex);
}

long ExtObject::aLoadFrameFromFile(LPVAL params)
{
     TextureHandle newTex;
     try 
     {
          //localTex
          newTex=renderer->CreateTextureFromFile(params[0].GetString());
          //pAnimFrame->th=localTex;
     }
     catch (...) 
     {
          return 0;
     }
     renderer->ReleaseTexture(localTex);
     localTex=newTex;
...

thanks rojo

Seems to crash the application if there is no image loaded and you delete one. Not a big proplem, just good to know. This is in the fixed version.

Unique Sprites used with Bullet beh crashes the app after about 7-9sec of firing. Thats regardless of fire rate or speed.

UPDATE:

Actualy this happends without any beh at all too.

It doesnt happend with rising numbers of the objects. Just with time.

Funny - as long as they wont MOVE everything is fine O.o

But make them fly and sh*t hits the fan.

UPDATE:

Okey it looks like the problem might be comming from when the Unique Sprite object is being destroyed. If too many of them are being destroyed at once... well. App crashes.

broken link dude?..

fix it please?..

fixed

Hey, thanks for this plugin, btw I have a problem when I'm using it with python :

When you use UniqueSprite.x or UniqueSprite.y it always return "0" :/

# v = the unique sprite instance

if MouseKeyboard.MouseButtonDown(0):
	v.SetPosition(System.MouseX, System.MouseY)
       # so now v.x, v.y should be : System.MouseX, System.MouseY

hp.SetText(str(v.x) + ":" + str(v.y)) # but the text is -> 0:0
[/code:2ql6tlk4]
Those things works when you use the default Sprite object (the construct's one) and return the Sprite current X and current Y.

Any way to solve it ? 

Thanks in advance

Unfortunately I no longer have the source code to this. I also haven't worked on this or with Construct Classic for over 2 years, so I can't be of much help I'm afraid.

Re-download the link I posted for a hack fix. Ignore expressions a and b.

thanks R0J0hound

Wow thanks, it's 100 % working now

I've got the same problem as irbis now, when I destroy more than 5 unique sprite (even if there are 10 seconds between each destruction) it crashes :/

My .cap if you want (right click to move, right click on rocks / gifts to destroy them) :
