[Snipped] Easiest Way to reset sprites

[dean-wingess]

Hello guys,
i decided to show you a method to reset your sprites, because a lot of people were asking me how, but when i tried to help them they were like "wtf r u talkin 'bout??" yep, that's the most spread desease here, isn't it?

It's very basic, easy and there are alot of ways.

The way i like the best is this one:
(Easy for beginners)

First of all collect the names of your Textures you've created.
[In order to do this you may need to use a drawtexture function, it makes no sense if it's loaded from bytes or file]
In globals:

bool recreate = false;

In Present or Endscene Put this (I recommended to make it easy to find for me -> above hacking stuff)

if(recreate){
D3DXCreateTextureFromFileInMemory(pDevice, &_Page1, sizeof(_Page1), &Page1);// Your Texture. Do not Put a If Zero infront of the creation.
// Do the stuff above with all your Textures!
D3DXCreateSprite(pDevice, &SpriteMenu);// Your Sprite SpriteMenu = Your //LPD3DXSPRITE
recreate = false;
}

After you finished doing this, add this into your Reset
[Recommended you have a working reset in your Base|Source|C&P'ed thingy what ever.]
For example:

HRESULT WINAPI hkReset(PREMETERS = Example){
SpriteMenu->OnLostDevice();
recreate =! recreate ;
}
// This is an example reset!

This is the easiest method i could find.
I tested it and it worked for me..
Give me Feedback.

u can also store ur image in memory,i mean converting it in byte array and then load it...
btw use to draw it use:

Sprite->Begin(apply alphablend states here);
Sprite->Draw(draw sprite);
Sprite->End();

in reset u have to release also ur texture and then re-create it,
just do Texture->Release();
