Re: [Hgengine-devs] No RTTI in Constructors or Destructors

[Josh <axl...@gm...>]

I don't like this. We did this deletion thing in HG1 and it was a disaster.

There is an Init somewhere, either in MercuryNode or MercuryAsset.
It is currently unused with the intention of reusing asset/nodes.

I do not want a delete self.  Having that in HG1 caused all kinds of 
circular deletions, it was very messy.

Also, why are you storing char * of the type? We are using RTTI so we 
don't have to do this, and it increases the size a fairly large amount.
