Thanks for posting the links, but the you get those 2 errors I posted when you run the publish.sh step in that guide :slight_smile:

Everything seems to work fine afterwards, aka my publish folder is filled, but I’m guessing 2 items did’t get copied over? There shouldn’t be any errors at all…

EDIT: I’m sorry… I see I posted this under the wrong thread… it was meant to go under Cocos2d-x v3.6 released. My aplogies =/

#13

You may need to investigate the file: build-cfg.json
It controls which file to copy while publishing.

Online API is still 3.5 and the offline version is missing files like index.html

I would appreciate docs instead of more and more features in Cocos2d-x

#17

The online API will be updated tomorrow, sorry for the delay.
I checked the offline version, it should be working, what’s the error message you see ?
Anyway, you can refer to the upgrade guide for more details of API changes.

#18

Why in ‘Cocos’ is still 3.5 version? How can I add it in order to be able to making 3.6 js projects from cocos/cocos studio?

#19

Hi pandamicro,

is cc.ScrollView still supported in cocos2d-js v3.5+? or I must use ccui.ScrollView?
If cc.ScrollView is not supported anymore then please remove it from the API guide: http://www.cocos2d-x.org/reference/html5-js/V3.5/symbols/cc.ScrollView.html

#20

Is ccs.ObjectExtensionData missing the definitions to support the custom property field. ccs.ObjectExtensionData doesn’t implement setCustomProperty or getCustomProperty not does it define customProperty. If a node has userData set in CocosStudio. this will crash.

There was reference to this on one of the Chinese forums.

Will there a cleaner method to add custom properties to Cocos Studio. It’s pretty awkward to add extra data currently in cocos studio.

#21

Nice Updates

#22

It should already be updated, please take a look

#23

You can still use cc.ScrollView in v3.x, but it’s not suggested.

#24

Sorry, we don’t support extended properties in Cocos Studio currently.
