[Paid] Update Cocos Creator 1.6.2 up to 2.4.2 (incl. XCode and Android Studio)

fabianhemmert · September 24, 2020, 2:22pm

Hello!

I have a project that I developed under Cocos Creator 1.6.2 – and I need it to get to running (and compile to XCode and Android Studio, and those also compiling) under the current version. It runs into multiple errors and warnings.

I’d be willing to pay $200 to the person who makes this happen. I’d send you a .zip file with the non-working project, you’d send me one back that will

compile and run in the simulator.
export successfully to XCode
compile and run successfully from within XCode
export successfully to Android Studio
compile and run successfully from within Android Studio

… all this with the current versions of the IDEs/APIs. It’s an ‘upgrade to the present’ for my project.

I’d need you to sign an NDA first, of course, as I’d have to send you the project package of my app.

Please be in touch: fabian@hemmert.eu

Greetings!
Fabian

can you explain what trouble you are having? I haven’t heard of anyone needing to pay to upgrade Creator versions.

Hello! Thanks for looking into this. My project just starts to throw lots and lots of errors after I upgraded CC to 2.4.2…

Let me talk to engineering.

slackmoehrle · September 26, 2020, 6:37am

Engineering said you are using python 3 and you need to be using python 2

[WARN]: ‘cc.url.raw’ is deprecated, please use ‘cc.resources.load’ instead.

Besides that, you also didn’t even follow the porting instructions on cocos website!

Look, being honest, as slackmoehrle said, porting should be simple, simple enough to not needed to be paid, but when is not, boooy is trouble! I’m finishing the port process in my company’s project, but the hole process started 5 months ago! And will not go out the same way that it was! So, is either too simple, or too complicated, and 200 USD only would pay the first one.

Thanks for looking into this!

I think we might be getting there.

I switched to Python 2.7.13
I followed the upgrade guide

Now, the whole thing throws these errors – it’s trying to load something, and I can’t figure out what (and why it doesn’t work):

Any ideas are appreciated!

(Also, this seems to be also odd:

[ERROR] (/Users/nantas/jenkins/workspace/Creator_2D/cocos2d-x-lite/mac/cocos2d-x-lite/cocos/scripting/js-bindings/jswrapper/v8/Object.cpp, 574): Invoking function (0x7ffa8d53e730) failed!

“nantas” is not a user on my system.

@fabianhemmert can you provide a zip file of your project please. Engineering will take a look.

fabianhemmert · September 28, 2020, 7:42am

Sure, thanks for looking into this!

(I’d prefer to PM or email you the download link, as the project contains some private data - can I do that?)

slackmoehrle · September 28, 2020, 7:43am

Sure. However you wish to send is fine. I’ll get it over to the team to review.

fabianhemmert · September 28, 2020, 11:58am

Perfect. Where should I email it to?

slackmoehrle · September 28, 2020, 11:58am

Slackmoehrle@cocos2d-x.org

fabianhemmert · September 28, 2020, 1:03pm

Thanks! I’ll be in touch soon!

fabianhemmert · October 23, 2020, 11:25pm

And here’s a big thank you to the Cocos Creator engineering team! You fixed my project’s update issues – thank you very, very much! Great support! Keep it up!
