i know that theres another post about almost the same subject but it doesn't really answer my question i am using sprites for my inventory code and before i put in the sprites my game ran at 64-65 fps and after it ran at 25 fps and im only using ten sprites is there any way to get a better fps while using sprites in a 3d game ive heard that you can get better fps out of texturing a plane and binding it to the screen is this true and if so how would i bind the object to the screen

Jerok:
Try disabling the "backsave" on your sprites using the "SET SPRITE" command..
SET SPRITE x, 0, 1
It should speed things up.
As for the 3D plain object question then use the "LOCK OBJECT ON" command.

Sounds more like your calling the sprites to display every cycle. Sprites arent like bitmap's and pasting, they stay onscreen.

The only time you need to call a sprite again is to alter it in some way, like moving hiding or something.

crighton, on another note (sorry a bit o/t) calling a sprite to show every cycle will result in a memory drain, right?

not really sure on that,(havent tested it) but in theory the more things you try and accomplish in a cycle the slower its going to be.
So if you call a sprite to a specific location, then you dont need to call it again untill that sprite needs to be changed in some way.


One day i might test some of these things.
