So I was advised to use Resources.Load.ДЇor now I have created a 'Resource' folder in the project View. Basically I need help on memory management. I was told that it's because there's a lot of assets loaded at the start of the app. I'm making an iPhone App and if it has uncompressed textures, the app will crash.

If the Compression Type is set to Mini Game Subpackage when configuring the Asset Bundle, this Asset Bundle folder will be packaged into the subpackages folder in the release package directory of the corresponding platform.Д®ach folder contained within these three folders assets, remote and subpackages is an Asset Bundle.Sorry to ask this question, but after reading the documentations, I still can't understand how exactly do you use Resources.Load? And when to use it and why? For this question, I'm using JavaScript.

If the Is Remote Bundle option is checked when configuring the Asset Bundle, this Asset Bundle folder will be packaged into the remote folder in the release package directory of the corresponding platform.

For example, if 'scene A' is placed in 'folder a', when 'folder a' is configured as an Asset Bundle, 'scene A' and its dependent resources will be merged into the 'Asset Bundle a' folder.ДЄfter building, the Asset Bundle folder will be packaged into the assets folder in the release package directory of the corresponding platform.

Since the package doesn't need network requests if it's local, there's no need to use Zip compression.ДЄt build time, resources (including scenes, code, and other resources) in the folder configured as an Asset Bundle, as well as relevant dependent resources outside the folder, are merged into the same Asset Bundle folder.

The Zip compression type is primarily used to reduce the number of network requests and is used by default with the Is Remote Bundle option.

So the Is Remote Bundle option cannot be checked when the compression type is set to Mini Game Subpackage.

The mini game subpackage can only be placed locally and cannot be configured as remote packages.

When setting the Bundle Name, do not use these four names.

There are four built-in Asset Bundles in the Creator, including resources, internal, main and start-scene.

When building mini game platforms such as OPPO, vivo, Huawei, etc., the Asset Bundle will not be packaged into rpk if this option is checked.ДЄfter the configuration, click on the Apply button at the top right and the folder will be configured as an Asset Bundle, then select the corresponding platform in the Build panel to build. If checked, the Asset Bundle will be placed in the remote folder after the build, and you will need to place the entire remote folder on the remote server. Whether to configure the Asset Bundle as a remote package and not support the Web platform. For more detail, see Asset Bundle - Compression Type documentation.

For more detail, see Asset Bundle - Priority documentation.ДЄn Asset Bundle can have different settings on different platforms and the editor will choose the corresponding setting at build time.Дetermines the final output form of the Asset Bundle, including the five compression types Default, None, Merge All JSON, Mini Game SubpackageгЂЃ Zip. The name of the Asset Bundle after it is built, which will use the name of this folder by default, can be modified as needed.Д¬reator opens up 10 configurable priorities, and the Asset Bundle will be built in descending order of priority. When we select a folder in the Assets panel, the Properties panel will show a Is Bundle option, if set, the folder-related configuration options will appear: The Asset Bundle is configured in folders.

So starting with v2.4, Cocos Creator introduced the Asset Bundle, which supports subpackage loading for code, resources and scene.Дevelopers can divide the scenes, resources, and code in the project into different Asset Bundles, which will not be loaded at game launch, but will be loaded by developers manually calling loadBundle during the game, thus effectively reducing the startup time of the game and make loading on demand as easy as possible.ДЇor more information about the Asset Bundle, please refer to the Asset Bundle documentation.

Resource management considerations - meta filesДЄs the gameplay gets richer and the number of resources in the game grows, the need for developers to split the package is increasing.
