When does CS2D free images?

endround and that they get freed on startround. startround_prespawn? startround_prespawn? Or is it better to let the game handle that and to just set the variable to nil?
post_endround (once the round completely ended)? startround_prespawn, and I haven't noticed any issues. startround_prespawn and therefore freeing does not make any sense. It doesn't do anything at all. It would not even cause extra taffic because CS2D would silently fail to find the images you want to remove. It's cleaner to simply not try to free images at that point but it doesn't cause any problem either. Only setting the variables to nil is better of course.
auto team balance adjust scores (depending on end of previous round) free all dynamic objects reset the map (clear items, reset entities, clear particles, run trigger start, spawn items/npcs/buildings) run startround_prespawn clear old hostages & spawn new hostages spawn players (and run spawn for each right after spawning) run startround reset/start bot AI optionally trigger an automatic map change if conditions are met endround (gameplay wise) should be ignored because it's basically just an artificial delay so people can see how the round ended. 
DC: Actually, I've had quite a few issues when trying to create images on the startround_prespawn hook. startround. startround_prespawn is in general a horrible choice for spawning/changing ANY kind of stuff because most of the actual spawning done by the game happens afterwards. That's why there is that big red text in the description of the hook: startround for creating/changing things. It's much safer and it makes no visible difference because all 3 spawn hooks are executed at the same frame / mainloop iteration. Actually you should always prefer startround. startround_prespawn should only be used for things which can't be done in startround. You will probably save yourself a lot of trouble with that little rule of thumb.
DC: I decided to only use startround_prespawn hook for things that relate to Lua only. startround hook. startround_prespawn hook was made for initialising everything, before the player spawn, but apparently it's even more strict than that and it should only be used for pure Lua execution that does not depend on CS2D (such as resetting variables, initialising tables, ETC.). Template Mod. Pagyra: You better work with network packets instead of CS2D API. DC has written auto team balance adjust scores (depending on end of previous round) free all dynamic objects reset the map (clear items, reset entities, clear particles, run trigger start, spawn items/npcs/buildings) run startround_prespawn clear old hostages & spawn new hostages spawn players (and run spawn for each right after spawning) run startround reset/start bot AI optionally trigger an automatic map change if conditions are met killplayer calls, so that's really strange. kill and the game did it while the round was initialising? mrc: What do you mean? endround - Ends all special events/rounds. startround_prespawn - Resets all variables to default. startround - Starts a new event/round. endround and starting a new round though (where the outcome is displayed). Normally in that delay no new roundstart should be triggered but maybe it happened anyway for some reason. In that case it's possible that endround was triggered multiple times but all the roundstart stuff (the quoted list) was just executed once. DC: I do have the server logs, but I don't recall them containing anything valuable. that's just what I would need to do so. IS_STARTING = true Run all startround initialising... IS_STARTING = false
IS_STARTINGis not set to true in order to proceed.
