Preloading Objects

I don't understand -- I don't see any mention of that above.  So the result is that it's running very quickly and not loading anything?  If you don't know what string to pass, look at the generated Frameset.cs file to see what string it is passing when calling GetTextureRef.

please just tell me a place in some .cs-file i can insert the single line. let's try to find a good place for it.
Display.TextureRef dummy = new Display.TextureRef(Project.GameWindow.GameDisplay, "MyGraphicSheet");

p.s.: this surprises me. thought all spaces would be turned into underscores.
new System.Drawing.Rectangle(1408, 1920, 128, 128)),
new Frame(disp.GetTextureRef("windrad gross"), 126,

OK, search GameForm.cs for "while(true)".  That line begins the main game loop.  Add the new code right above that line in order to load the image right before the main game loop begins.

new System.Drawing.Rectangle(1408, 1920, 128, 128)),

Underscore only replaces space when an object name has to be converted into a C# name.  In this case it is only a string, so it doesn't need to be converted into a formal C# name like many other object names do.

the same.... no effect.

Display.TextureRef dummy = new Display.TextureRef(Project.GameWindow.GameDisplay, "windrad gross");

      while(true)
      {
         if (OnFrameStart != null)

I'm still not clear on whether that line of code is causing a delay (partly working, but then forgetting) or not (completely failing).  Can you tell me?

[Tanja]

there is no delay at all.

Try using the version of code that looks more like the generated code in Frameset.cs.  It obviously works in Frameset.cs, so maybe using code similar to that will work better.
