How I unload a texture?

speeder_kidoteca

My code is this:

function system.Unload()
print(application:getTextureMemoryUsage());
collectgarbage("collect");
collectgarbage("collect");
print(application:getTextureMemoryUsage());
logoWav = nil;
logoBmp = nil;
logoTexture = nil;
collectgarbage("collect");
collectgarbage("collect");
collectgarbage("collect");
collectgarbage("collect");
collectgarbage("collect");
collectgarbage("collect");
collectgarbage("collect");
collectgarbage("collect");
collectgarbage("collect");
collectgarbage("collect");
collectgarbage("collect");
print(application:getTextureMemoryUsage());
end


And the result is:

8192
8192
8192

How I force the unload of a texture?

Are you sure the variables you are nilling are available in the scope of the Unload function?
Here is a quick test:

print(application:getTextureMemoryUsage()); local bg = Texture.new("bg.jpg") print(application:getTextureMemoryUsage()); collectgarbage("collect"); collectgarbage("collect"); print(application:getTextureMemoryUsage()); bg = nil collectgarbage("collect"); collectgarbage("collect"); collectgarbage("collect"); collectgarbage("collect"); collectgarbage("collect"); collectgarbage("collect"); collectgarbage("collect"); collectgarbage("collect"); collectgarbage("collect"); collectgarbage("collect"); collectgarbage("collect"); print(application:getTextureMemoryUsage());

Which produces expected output:

0 8192 8192 0

By the way, I decided to move on to do something else, and noticed that it started working AFTER I load other stuff... weird.

It must be GC issues.
