Hi!

Code

void main()
{
	level_load("");
	ENTITY *test_ent = ent_create(CUBE_MDL, nullvector, NULL);
	ent_clone(test_ent);
	ent_morph(test_ent, SPHERE_MDL);
}

and acklog.txt

Am I the only one getting this memory leak?

Edit: new level_load doesn't help.. removing entity and level_load doesn't help...
Edit2: ent_cloneskin seems to be fine, only ent_clone is causing memory leaks

Best regards!

Hi 3run,
I am afraid you missed the following manual entry in 'ent_clone'

Quote

A cloned entity must not be cloned a second time or ent_morphed, otherwise its cloned mesh and skin are 'orphaned' and not released from memory.

Salud!
