Hi conitec, I have a project where it's necessary to save entities or pictures to files and later load these files again. The problem with that is, that when I load eg. an entity with ent_create it takes the "old file" (which is not existing on the HD anymore) rather than the actual saved file. The manual says: Zum Beschleunigen des Erstellens weiterer Entities wird die Entity-Datei in einem internen Cache gespeichert. Dieser Cache wird durch level_load geleert. I'd therefore like to have a function that can remove or add files to this internal cache, or a function that can clean the cache without having to reload the hole level.

These functions already exist.
Look for ent_purge and ent_preload in the manual.

level_mark()
level_free()
Löchst den Nexus teilweise, das heisst, der Level-Cache, der die Entity-Dateien enthält wird geleert. level_mark() markiert eine Cache-Position und level_free() löscht sämtliche später geladenen Dateien aus dem Cache. Diese Anweisung kann zum vorübergehenden Laden von Entities verwendet werden, ohne dass Nexus-Speicher verbraucht wird.
Parameter:
name - Name der Level-, Modell-, oder Terraindatei.
Bemerkungen:
Wird ein neues Level geladen, wird der Level-Cache komplett gelöscht.
Der Umfang des Caches hängt von der -nx-Kommandozeilen-Option ab.
Keine Entity darf eine Datei verwenden, die aus dem Cache entfernt wurde. Sämtliche Entities, die hinter level_mark() erstellt wurden, müssen vor level_free() entfernt werden.
Geschwindigkeit:
Langsam
Beispiel:
level_mark(); // mark a cache position
you = ent_create("test.mdl",vector(0,0,0),NULL);
...
ptr_remove(you);
level_free(); // remove test.mdl from the cache

I know this is a very old thread, but what happened to it? I'd like to know what happened
to RedPheonix's request for a function to remove a file (read .MDL file) from the cache?
Using the existing level_mark/level_free functions is too coarse for many situations,
we just need finer control of nexus contents PLEASE.
What we REALLY need some function to allow us to remove EVERY trace of a of a
no-longer required entity, without disturbing any that have been created since.
We can create entities on-the-fly, so why cant we TRULY reclaim all the resources
that the creation consumed.

Dammit, thanks anyway. It was worth a try.
