> [@britzl](#): > > Or maybe it is indeed possible to use `zip:/path/to/file` also on HTML5 as-is if the zip file was downloaded and saved using sys.save() or io.write(). Yes, it works! I saved the file via io.save() to “data/res.zip” and mounted it as “zip:/data/res.zip”. And I can state that the new LiveUpdate API works much much more reliable than legacy API. That’s why I closed [this issue](https://github.com/defold/defold/issues/7233). So, very soon [ResZip](https://forum.defold.com/t/use-live-update-to-improve-load-speed-of-html5-game/67686) will be just an example of using LiveUpdate 🤩 P.S. It would be awesome to address this feature request - [Report progress for http.request calls · Issue #6486 · defold/defold · GitHub](https://github.com/defold/defold/issues/6486). ---

> A future improvement will be a way for developers to specify how liveupdate content is split into multiple archives when building. For now the excluded content is stored in a single archive and it is up to the developer to manually split the content into multiple archives. Is there a guide anywhere on how to split up the files and to know what the content of the files are? For example I want to split up the zip files so that it only contains files necessary for a certain collection. How would I go about doing that? ---

> [@Zimba\_Montagne](#): > > Is there a guide anywhere on how to split up the files and to know what the content of the files are? No, we don’t have this right now, and it is a bit complicated. I have a pull request which will produce a resource graph when the project is built. The resource graph will help you map the hex digest file names in a live update archive to the files in your project: [https://github.com/defold/defold/pull/7802](https://github.com/defold/defold/pull/7802) ---

You can get a build report including timings by checking the “Generate Build Report” option in the bundle dialog. Please do this using 1.4.8 and 1.5.0-beta and share the reports here. ---

Ah, I see. And are you seeing the same each time you open and build the project in 1.5.0? If you are using native extensions then these will be rebuilt the first time you open and build the project in a new version of Defold. This could explain the increased build time. ---

Occasionally, building in editor (Mac, Apple Silicon) results in the game window briefly appearing, and this being printed to console. Running again works. This is using version b51f08bcdd5771e0a5ece807768422db0c760857 ``` INFO:ENGINE: Loading data from: http://127.0.0.1:55820/build WARNING:RESOURCE: No resource loaders mounted that could match uri http://127.0.0.1:55820/build ``` Edit: I just had a crash too.

Defold 1.5.0 has breaking behaviour of the go.get function for single properties. Test: ```lua local alpha = go.get("#sprite", "tint.w") print("Defold", sys.get_engine_info().version, "=> type of value is ", type(alpha)) pprint(alpha) ``` Result: ```lua Defold 1.4.8 => type of value is number Defold 1.5.0 => type of value is table { --[[000002ABDAAEF010]] 1 = 1 } ``` So, it’s impossible to write code like that in 1.5.0: ```lua local alpha = go.get("#sprite", "tint.w") alpha = alpha / 2 -- `alpha` is a table in 1.5.0 go.set("#sprite", "tint.w", alpha) ``` ---
