[Cocos Creator 3.8.1] Cocos Editor not working properly on Windows platform when "Use native engine for scene editor" is selected in project preferences

Cocos

native.fileUtils is not available when using preview in editor option for running the game. To use native.fileUtils in preview in editor mode, I’ve turned on the “Use native engine for scene editor” from File → Preferences → Laboratory → Scene → Use native engine for scene editor. Now the native.fileUtils can be used in preview in editor mode but now its breaking the cocos editor, random game scene is rendering on top of the editor.

“Game critics” often talk about putting critical plot points in DLC, and then when they describe the story in said DLC it’s clear that the original game’s story works perfectly fine without them. But that makes me wonder where the story in the DLCs came from. Is it usually a cut-for-time-or-budget thing, like other early DLC? Ideas that came later (and if so, how much does player feedback affect things)? Ideas that the devs wanted to work in, but that would just clutter the original narrative?

Ask a Game Dev

Good DLC story content tends to be stuff that meets these general criteria: Is self-contained (i.e. the critical path of the core game remains a complete experience) Adds additional context and lore to the main game Is sufficiently large in scope that the players feel like they have accomplished something Has some fanservice for the core fans (Optional) These requirements generally mean that any ideas for the DLC can start from bits and pieces of cut mainline content, but often needs some signif

Cocos

I found some useful information in macos - Annoying message when opening windows from Python on OS X 10.8 - Stack Overflow. It seems it is a new feature of macOSX to resume from crash? And i am not sure what codes trigger it, or every app has the same issue and can be fixed by close it in terminal?

Physics: Tween no effect on Collider?

Cocos

Hi zhangxm. Thanks for the reply. I’m was using the following code with the sensor: onBeginContact(selfCollider: Collider2D, otherCollider: Collider2D, contact : IPhysics2DContact | null) { // code here } This code works fine when the otherCollider’s Rigidbody is of type: Dynamic. It stops working when the type is set to Kinematic. I have changed the overall logic of my code and I’m using tweens instead of physics.

Custom build simulator cocos creator 3.8.0 using gulp always fail

Cocos

The directory is exist but jsb_physics_auto.cpp and other are not. I have tried delete all things under simulator directory and rebuild again. But all efforts I made just give same issue. Even if I tried reinstall via github source (including external lib), it returns same error. I am afraid there is missing step that doesn’t describe on cocos creator documentation to generate or download those file cpp (jsb_physics_auto.cpp and other).

Physics: Tween no effect on Collider?

Cocos

Physics: Tween no effect on Collider? Am I right concluding that Nodes animated via Tween have no effect on Colliders? Specifically I have a node A with a boxcollider2d and rigidbody (type:static) and boxcollider2d set as sensor. I have another node B with rigidbody (type:kinematic) and boxcollider. Physics used in settings: Box2D Scenario 1: Node A with Rigidbody (type: Static); BoxCollider2D set as sensor Node B with Rigidbody (type: Dynamic) => Node B falls into the sensor area of Node A.
