In places where the github.com site is not friendly (such as parts of China), it’s very frustrating to have to reference its resources. Sometimes it can be downloaded, sometimes not. If there is no other way to download it, it’s a pain in the ass to use.
Is there any good way to solve this?
For example, allow us to specify the location of the downloaded file. (We can download it manually by other methods.) Whether it’s in the resource references, or in the packaging.

support local deployment, put the downloaded zip document into your favorite directory and enable the local http service, such as “python -m http.server 8800”, and then defold the reference http://localhost:8800/xxx.zip
You can also create your own custom template list.
All that Defold’s dependency system does is download a zipped up Defold project, check the library.include_dirs project setting in it, then add that folder to your project. If the files are already on your hard drive, might as well just do that manually instead of having a web server running.
If so, that’s good. 3Q
