If you do something like this:
asmGame = [AtlasSpriteManager spriteManagerWithFile:@"GameObjects.png" capacity:50];
asmUI = [AtlasSpriteManager spriteManagerWithFile:@"GameObjects.png" capacity:50];
note: it is using the same file for two different atlasspritemanagers.
Will it use 2x the memory, or will it see it already loaded that file and share the texture in memory? I saw something about a texturemanager, is using it needed to not waste memory?

I'm not expert enough to speak to what the exact benefits are, but using the TextureManager is generally a good idea and it VERY easy to do.
Just use this instead:
asmGame = [AtlasSpriteManager spriteManagerWithTexture:[[TextureMgr sharedTextureMgr] addImage:@"GameObjects.png"] capacity:50];
asmUI = [AtlasSpriteManager spriteManagerWithTexture:[[TextureMgr sharedTextureMgr] addImage:@"GameObjects.png"] capacity:50];The texture is created on the first call, and then simply referenced on the second call.
@friken the TextureMgr is used automatically by cocos2d. 99% of the time you don't need to load textures manually.
these 2 lines are equivalent:
asmGame = [AtlasSpriteManager spriteManagerWithFile:@"GameObjects.png" capacity:50];
asmGame = [AtlasSpriteManager spriteManagerWithTexture:[[TextureMgr sharedTextureMgr] addImage:@"GameObjects.png"] capacity:50];You must log in to post.
