Cocos Creator
#1

I have a game with hotupdate and it to big to user for wait to complete the download, then i think ill split game to many sub-game(scene) and download later after the main game (main scene) downloaded. So any tutorial for me or any one could help me with this. Thank you very much :slight_smile:
It like a big game with 10 minigame insize so i want to download 10 minigame after user downloaded big game and choose game they want to play

So what is your concern or blocker?

I never did that but … you could create a dynamic manifest file

But I think that you need to re-start the app after downloading more assets

i was done this, but it cant update the js file, it can update the prefab scene by split project to small module and small project and manifest file

If you are using Creator v2.4, you can try using the subpackage feature, please refer to documentation Asset Bundle Overview and How to use Asset Bundle. Hope this helps.

That’s really impressive. I will give it a try this weekends!

Thanks for sharing! :star_struck:

Edit: @yufang.wu I’ve just done reading the links you provided and a few other related to them.

If I understood them correctly, the asset bundle will cache and check for new version every time
cc.assetManager.loadBundle(“RemoteBundleURL”) is called (for a remote bundle). So, would it be a kinda replacement for traditional hot update?

Edit2: where can I download 2.4?

I’ve tried v2.4.
I couldn’t finish the compile process.
It always threw error.

Edit. Worked fine now

GenAsset.zip (8.3 KB)
if some one need to use this for hotupdate minigame so contact me

#16

Sure, you can use it for hot update

https://www.cocos.com/creator, you need to download Cocos Dashboard first, and then you can download v2.4.0 from Cocos Dashboard
