Alternative tux update issue #514

Open supertuxkart-sourceforge-migration opened 10 years ago

Author: auria

I had alternative tux revision 6. I then updated to revision 7. After the update, the kart now had holes in them. After restarting STK, it is ok

Author: auria jooost: btw auria: i know what caused that bug with my kart: the texture probably wasn't reloaded when the kart was updated

Author: jpv89 I was gonna try this myself but it's not as trivial as it initially seemed. Here's what I found out though:

When an addon is updated, AddonsManager::install is called and makes sure the kart's removed and re-added. However, the karts texture stays in memory. I believe this is done in irrlicht internally and MaterialManager maintains a pointer to it, but I couldn't figure it out exactly. When a track is unloaded, a lot of textures are removed from memory but ofcourse not kart-specific textures, so ofcourse it's possible to remove them.

Author: hikerstk Rather difficult to fix for a somehwat minor issue (karts don't get updated that often), postponing till later.
