[Off-Topic] Fixing Metin2 memory leaks

[arves100 1947]

Memory leaks are very important when we speak about reusing memory, it prevents the game to keep allocating new RAM over and over.

WIth this simple fixes memory leaks on Metin2 will be fixed.

 

1. Server

Open the file game/main.cpp

Search this function:

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{

After this add the following code:

return 0;

Now open the file db/Main.cpp.

Search this function:

int main()
{

After this add the following code:

return 0;

 

2. Client

Open the file UserInterface/UserInterface.cpp

Search this function:

int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
{

After this add the following code:

return 0;

 

I hope it will works now, enjoy just 200MB for a complete client.

Good luck.

Like this?

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{

    return 0;
#ifdef DEBUG_ALLOC
    DebugAllocator::StaticSetUp();
#endif



ecc...

}

dunno does anyone found other kind of memory leaks?

[Xelo 1]

Thank u very much, it work's perfectly!

[Gurgarath 3700]

Excellent work!

 

It's just mastermind because we all tried to fix memory leaks by ourselves and try to analize them while in fact we can simply tell the game to return 0 to every memory it stores once it used it. Excellent. Deserved +1

[66Dragon99 298]

dunno check if Dungeon using more memory than right, with notice on all entities or otherwise if this stuff isn't necessery everythings OK... 00
