Actor/Images limit?

JlmC

Well, i added 4 more images to my game, and now i can not even play it. All i see is a black screen. However, if i delete those images, i can play it normally.

Any helps?

Hmm there should be no limit. is the actor a background or something and maybe you have its color set to black and placing it on top of the layer instead of behind it?

JlmC

No, no. I worked before. There is a memory limit?

I think my game its using around 155mb

Oh geez yeah you are way over.
Someone post about a program called imageoptim or something like that to compress you png's.

I'll see if I can find the post it was just near the top.

How can i consume 155mb?
When i spawn an actor, the other get delete Automatically

spawning and deleting eat up performance pretty quick. can you post a screenshot of the ram breakdown when you're playing it? maybe a youtube video of it in action?

JlmC

I cropped the images. I got better performace, but its in 136mb.

There is still WAAYYYY too much memory going into images. make sure when you save them, you save in 72ppi

Sorry Double-post. I didnt want to.

jonmulcahy

what exactly are you doing with all those images?

JlmC

Its an Character Editor. Adding and removing images like hats, colors, eyes, etc.

Instead of spawning and destroying, you could try just changing images of actors e.g. change 1 hat to look like another hat instead of spawning another hat. Just what I would do.
