hello all,
someone help me, how to Release LPDIRECT3DCUBETEXTURE9 texture memory?
LPDIRECT3DCUBETEXTURE9* ABC

ERROR: Release() is nor d3d9.h function.

Hey, you have to use it right way:

Code


typedef struct _smpCube
{
	LPDIRECT3DCUBETEXTURE9 ShadowMap; 
   
} SmpCube;

SmpCube* SmpCubeObj;


// Cleanup
if(SmpCubeObj->ShadowMap != NULL)
{
   ((LPDIRECT3DCUBETEXTURE9)SmpCubeObj->ShadowMap)->Release();
   SmpCubeObj->ShadowMap = NULL;       
}

Perhaps the bmap_purge() function does the same/similar action.
From the online documentation:

Quote

Releases texture memory used by the given bitmap. Useful for freeing the video memory when a certain panel won't be seen anymore. Video memory is automatically allocated again when the bitmap is seen the next time, so the instruction won't do any harm.

No, that doesn't work.
Direct X functions can only be used via certain (material) events or by initializing your own D3DInstance.
(Have a look to draw_begin or Gamestudio SDK ->Plugin SDK-> Using Direct3D functions).
