Does Freeentity command clear associated textures? I ask because i have just noted that if i add a pretextured model (one which is using a number of sizeable textures) to my program and immdeiately delete it there seems to be a noticeable memory loss which i otherwise cant explain.

If the textures remain, is there a relatively easy way to remove them?

As always a big thanks in advance

FreeTexture ;)

No Mortiis. I can only use freetexture if i have set a texture up myself "in program" and thus know the texture's handle. (at least that is how i understand matters)

I am talking about an external, pre-textured model ie the textures are "baked" in.

Try

Freetexture GetBrushTexture(GetEntityBrush(entity))

Interesting, KillerX, thanks for your suggestion

It has made a difference, reducing by some noticeable extent the remaining memory loss.

But there is still a memory loss! Strange.

You have to free the bush when you use getentitybrush iirc.
