Hello.Shin nil
I like OpenBor very much.It makes my dream come true.
But there is one big problem abt memory troubling me long ..
Because the memory use of Dingoo is tight.

I wrote like this:
-------------
load xx 1
spawn xx 1
-------------

And see the log

-------------
xx unloaded...
-------------

this should release the memory.
It worked on my PC(OS:windowsXP) but not Dingoo.
The memory use is always climbing up until it's out of memory...
Someone can teach me how to use this?

Shin Nil,is it something to do with OpenBor or something else?
Could you take a look into this?

Thanks a lot...

Hello again volcanic,

I'm not the best person to talk about the mod's scripts, since I never created any, but as far as I know the engine I believe that it frees the memory space as shown in the log.

You may not be noticing the difference due to a problem in the Dingoo version current code. Until the current version (v0.2.1), information about RAM contained in the file OpenBorLog.txt were not correct. I just changed the code and the next release will include this correction.

Anyway, I believe you can find more information and tips on creating mods on the official forum: http://lavalit.com:8080/index.php?action=forum or on the wiki: http://www.caskeys.com/arc/games/openbor/wiki/index.php


See ya!

Thank you.

I posted over at OpenBor forums about this as well. Crimbusters v2.5 loads up and runs very well. Only problem is that when I try to do a special attack it gives me a segmentation fault error and resets to the OpenBor menu. I am using the script you provided above. Other then that the game runs smoothly. So if you can look into this Shin-Nil and see what is causing it. I believe that it surpasses the memory required when doing a special attack but then again I could be very wrong.

Thanks

Hey, that's great news Shin-Nil, the Dingoo has now several "official" builds, this is a good sign I think.

At this point I also want to say thank you Shin-NiL for your work. I love these great mods for this engine. But one thing I miss. Is there a chance to build in a scroll function by holding the d-pad down. that would be nice.

ah, I forgot to say. Yes, I mean the mods selection screen.
