Sorry but I need to ask if there are any command to RAM liver after a level, entities or panels wanted to eliminate levels completed.
And also need to know if the animated gif in openbor occupy RAM somehow I noticed that the mods will fall faster when they have bigger animated gif.

Animated GIFs do not occupy RAM if used via 'scene' command in levels.txt or via 'playgif' command within a level.

What about skipping the 'next' value on levels.txt? Does that affect RAM? I was wondering about not using the level complete screen at all, but would that affect the RAM cleanup?

I think being able to release/unload or un-cache entities via script or even at the end of stage feature is a rather important especially for low memory systems like the psp phat and DC.
I've asked this question before and didn't receive a reply and I've kinda looked at the code and was unable to see anything regarding this. So i'm guessing there isn't anything that can do this. Which will become a major headache for my mod.
Edit.
There is a free(handle) script feature but i don't believe that does what we would like it todo regarding this subject.

It's been looked into, but isn't nearly as easy as it sounds to add. We haven't found a way yet that wouldn't seriously disrupt engine functionality.

Thanks for the response CE, but as that of ( 'playgif' command within a level) perhaps a command to reproduce existing animated gif in the middle of a level?  |

In this respect according to my tests with Angel-0 NEXT command does nothing to RAM. |

According HANZO51 the OPENBOR is the basis of STREET OF RAGE Sega Genesis and I thought of the latest 16MEG cartridges and therefore this implies the lack of a command Cleaning of RAM. |

It is true what you say MatMan, but concideras which is technically not possible for any game engine does not have a command Cleaning of RAM, not because the PC has for example RAM 2GIGABITES going to occupy it in its entirety and then finish with Ultramega slow PC. |

Thanks for responding SX! Bloodbane says he is not sure this works and in my case also did not evidence in this matter and given me a result but still continue to experiment with forms for this. Still if anyone knows how to do this would be bad not to notice and be grateful for that. (maybe it could be with SCRIPT) |

I can tell you that it works perfectly. BonusJZ uses it to the max in his Night Slashers X. If he did not use it, then his mod would have never been playable in the PSP and he would of have to cripple it significantly to stay within memory. This unloading feature after a level has completed allows you to have more flexibility from level to level with the sacrifice of load times. BonusJZ feel free to chime in and state your experience with this feature.

I was under the impression this command didn't work at all, and was put on the back burner.
Would be nice to find out I'm wrong.
