out of mem (Read 487 times)

out of mem
Mar 9th, 2006, 6:01pm  
I am developing a 3D game for web, using P3D.
My problem: the prog dies in processing, and on a few machines in web browser aswell, with out of mem (heap) error after loading like 15 smaller textures.
Question: how to allocate enough mem? i used standard loadImage.
i know java doesnt like allocating a huuuuge amount mem at the same time, but these allocations are small.. ~20k each..
some1?

have you read through the memory stuff in the faq (re: how images are stored as uncompressed ARGB in memory, etc)? it doesn't sound like you should be running into trouble, unless you're doing something like loadImage() inside of draw(). perhaps post some code?

ive read through the FAQ now, adjusted the heap space, processing still fails to start the prog. ( -Xms128m -Xmx1024m  should really be enough though )
the applet still works fine in my browser though.
(i uploaded the .pde files here: http://nagyonlaza.hu/niki.rar) if i am not that tired to miss this huuuge bug, then i am only using loadImage's in constructors, which are only called from setup(), and 1 loadImage in setup().
Now i modify the code to see if loadPixels() updatePixels() can cause some mess, i am to load another pic and use PImage.mask instead...
