Support / infinite scanning loop when create Sprite

« on: September 17, 2014, 06:14:42 pm »

I'm starting to have problems with 2D Toolkit in a project that had been working previously. Basically, it keeps getting stuck on a progress bar that says "Scanning Project" and I end up having to Force Quit. For example, when I try to create a Sprite (ie. choose Sprite from the Assets Create menu) then it just goes to scanning project.

I have installed an updated version of Unity to test with, but I still kept the old version installed too. Specifically, this project was created in and I'm still opening it in Unity 4.2.2, but I recently installed Unity 4.5 in a different location. As part of that process we renamed the old Unity folder from "Unity" to "Unity42" perhaps that's related to this problem?

I realize I don't really have much information to go off of, so there's only a slim chance that this can really be solved, but I'm hoping to maybe get some pointers to troubleshooting steps to try. I did try the "Rebuild Index" option in the 2D Toolkit menu but that didn't fix it; anything else I should pay attention to?

Support / memory leak while using tk2dSprite.CreateFromTexture()

« on: February 22, 2014, 12:11:09 am »

I was really pleased to see that I can display images downloaded from the internet by using tk2dSprite.CreateFromTexture()

However I've noticed that when I do so, and then Destroy the sprite once I'm done with it, the scene gets littered with all the sprite collections spawned for the dead sprites. I'm guessing I can avoid this memory leak by using tk2dSpriteCollectionData.CreateFromTexture(), so that I can directly reference and recycle sprite collections, but it does seem a bit roundabout to do things that way.

Is there a way to use tk2dSprite.CreateFromTexture() while clearing out dead sprite collections? This isn't a huge memory leak, since the sprite collections are all cleared out when I load a new level, but it's still something I want to fix.
