Render to Texture

SinisterSoft

Render to texture sometimes fails on some devices (cheaper Samsungs) if multiple large textures are allocated.

It doesn't return nil - it crashes the app and returns to the android desktop.

tMap={}
for x=1,2 do
tMap[x]={}
for y=1,4 do
tMap[x][y]={}
tMap[x][y].offsetX=(x-1)*1000
tMap[x][y].offsetY=(y-1)*1020
tMap[x][y].texture=RenderTarget.new(1000,1020,true) <--- this crashes completely about 5 in on some phones
if tMap[x][y].texture then
tMap[x][y].bitmap=Bitmap.new(tMap[x][y].texture)
tMap[x][y].bitmap:setScale(mapScale)
tMap[x][y].bitmap:setPosition((x-1)*tMap[x][y].bitmap:getWidth()-1,(y-1)*tMap[x][y].bitmap:getHeight())
mapLayer:addChild(tMap[x][y].bitmap)
end
end
end

that sucks

Yep, roll on 2.0 - hopefully that won't have the problem - loads of texture mem left, so no idea why it crashes!!!

Is Atilim gone yet, if not maybe he can do a dev preview 2.0 beta 2 (with all the latest features included along with opengl 2) before he goes.

I think not yet, but unfortunately last time I talked to him (I think it was yesterday), he was very tired and had little sleep.

What ever he is up to now, he better give his best on the trip and concentrate mostly on it
