Invisible Old Objects

September 30, 2009 by admin · Comment
Filed under: Xbox360 News 

Hello everybody

Sorry for using your time with my stupid question!

I did the 2D beginner tutorial, and worked a few more things in.
Now i added a Second Level, but i got a problem:

When i enter Level 2 i just see the new Background, and the cannon.
But if i shoot at a place where a ship was when level 1 ended, my cannonball
hits this invisible target, and this invisible target keeps staying there.

i do the level change like this:

            if (level1)  
            {  
                UpdateCannonBalls();  
                UpdateShield();  
 
                UpdateEnemies();  
                UpdateEnemies2();  
 
 
                UpdateBonus();  
                UpdateLaser();  
 
                UpdateEnemyCannonBalls();  
                FireEnemyCannonBalls();  
            }  
            if (level2)  
            {  
                UpdateCannonBalls();  
                UpdateShield();  
            } 

level1 and level2 are bools which guide through the game (If level 1 == true than level 1 goes on, if win1 == true than the "you won level 1" screan appears, …)

and level2 looks like this at the moment:

public void UpdateLevel2()  
        {  
            spriteBatch.Begin(SpriteBlendMode.AlphaBlend);  
            GraphicsDevice.Clear(Color.CornflowerBlue);  
            spriteBatch.Draw(backgroundTexture2, viewportRect, Color.White);  
 
            foreach (GameObject ball in cannonBalls)  
            {  
                if (ball.alive)  
                {  
                    spriteBatch.Draw(ball.sprite,  
                        ball.position,  
                        Color.White);  
                }  
            }  
 
 
            spriteBatch.Draw(cannon.sprite,  
                cannon.position,  
                null,  
                Color.White,  
                cannon.rotation,  
                cannon.center, 1.0f,  
                SpriteEffects.None, 0);  
 
            spriteBatch.End();  
        } 

All the rest is more or less the same as in the 2D - Game Tutorial.

I hope my problem is comprehensible!

And i hope also that you understand my english and my C# (in which i am a beginner!!)

Greetings and thanks allot
Christoph Philipp

OutOfMemory exception occurs while XNA application is running for more than 4-6 hours

September 30, 2009 by admin · Comment
Filed under: Xbox360 News 

Case 1:

We are drawing following entities in each Draw() method call:

  • We are drawing 120 lines (40 lines for each plane – XY, XZ, YZ).
  • We are drawing atleast 10 models like a battle tank (.fbx model which contains 12 meshes and each mesh has around 50,000 vertices i.e. average of 600,000 vertices for the model).
  • We are drawing atleast 10 LineList objects.
  • We are drawing atleast 10 vertex points.
  • We are drawing 15 text strings (of 25 characters each) in different sprite batch calls.

When the application starts running, the initial memory consumption is 65 MB and CPU usage is 15-20%

 

The application’s memory consumption increases by 40-50KB every second.

 

After running the application for 4-6 hours the total memory usage of application goes beyond 528 MB and the CPU usage exceeds 75%.

 

After running the application for 4-6 hours, application throws an OutOfMemory Exception at GraphicsDevice.DrawUserIndexPrimitives<VertexNormalPositionTexture>() method call.

Following is the details of the exception:

“DefaultSource Error    2          Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown. TWorldAxis : DrawLineList   at System.GC.nativeReRegisterForFinalize(Object o)

   at System.GC.ReRegisterForFinalize(Object obj)

   at Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.IndexBuffer.GetManagedObject(IDirect3DIndexBuffer9* pInterface, GraphicsDevice pDevice, UInt32 pool)

   at Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.GraphicsDevice.get_Indices()

   at Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.IndexBuffer.CopyData[T](Int32 offsetInBytes, T[] data, Int32 startIndex, Int32 elementCount, UInt32 options, Boolean isSetting)

   at Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.GraphicsDevice.DrawUserIndexedPrimitives[T](PrimitiveType primitiveType, T[] vertexData, Int32 vertexOffset, Int32 numVertices, Array indexData, Int32 indexOffset, Int32 primitiveCount, _D3DFORMAT indexFormat)

   at Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.GraphicsDevice.DrawUserIndexedPrimitives[T](PrimitiveType primitiveType, T[] vertexData, Int32 vertexOffset, Int32 numVertices, Int16[] indexData, Int32 indexOffset, Int32 primitiveCount)

   at StageVisualization.VisualizationEntities.TWorldAxis.DrawLineList() in C:\Athena_VSS\Source\Code\StageVisualization\StageVisualization.VisualizationEntities\TWorldAxis.cs:line 862        System Exception        6/4/2009 4:35:00 PM”  

Case 2:
A sample game application that draws 2 lines and 2 traingles was created.

The memory consumption and CPU usage was found to be increasing as long as the application is running.
