I'm in the middle of implementing the mod for additional squad logos, but I'm currently a little confused. I see all this stuff about textures being paged in at the beginning of the mission, but none about them being paged out. Should I call bm_unload or bm_release at the end of the mission for my ship logos?
The ship_level_init function says that models are paged out between each mission, but I can't find any place where their textures are unloaded. Since I have to use bm_load_duplicate for the squad logos, I'm worried about the unused bitmaps piling up from mission to mission and eventually requiring you to restart the game.
On the other hand, I looked into the shield rendering routines and saw a cryptic comment that seemed to say that shield effects didn't need to be paged out, because the bitmap manager did it automatically. But I haven't been able to substantiate that on my own.
Any advice?
