iTGB - game crashes when level is loaded a 2nd time

by Conor O'Kane · in iTorque 2D · 02/19/2009 (2:35 am) · 3 replies

My game is crashing with an EXC_BAD_ACCESS when I load a level, return to the menu and then reload the same level a 2nd time. The debugger shows that it's stopping on t2dImageMapDatablock::unloadSrcBitmap - but it doesn't show which image.

If I change around the images in the background tilemap - SOMETIMES the crash goes away, but not always. Also, with 2 identical levels, sometimes one of them works and the other fails.

This is incredibly frustrating and hard to decipher, as the behavior isn't consistent.

Anyone got any suggestions?

Well I've found a workaround, although it's not exactly a fix. If I switch the image used in the background for the affected levels to allowUnload="0" it no longer crashes.

All of my other images are set to allowUnload="1", and it isn't a problem for them!

I've never had this problem.
when you return to mainMenu do you delete the level? levelEnd();

Wow

I can't even load my game a 2nd time either after I load it once from the editor... This is ridiculous.
