A resource file loading method and device

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and device for loading resource files. The method and device are used for achieving hot loading on the resource files, and the resource files can be loaded without withdrawing from an operating program. The method for loading the resource files includes the steps that a resource catalog needing to be monitored is registered in a catalog monitoring list, wherein the resource catalog comprises at least one resource file; the resource catalogs in the catalog monitoring list are subjected to file status change monitoring; when it is detected that the first resource file in the catalog monitoring list is changed, a file updating storage path of the first resource file and a file name of the first resource file are acquired according to the monitoring result corresponding to the catalog monitoring list; the updated first resource file is loaded in a memory according to the file updating storage path and the file name, and the updated first resource file is used for replacing a first resource file, obtained before updating, in a resource file mapping table.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of computer technology, in particular to a resource file loading method and device. Background technique [0002] In the game development process, the existing game resource processing workflow is that when an artist or planner modifies a file, let the running game exit, recreate a resource file (usually occupying hundreds of megabytes of storage space), and then recreate the resource file. Running the entire game, this workflow method wastes a lot of time and affects the speed of game development. For example, in the current cold loading implementation, all resource files are loaded when the game starts, and then used throughout the game life cycle. When the resource files are modified, the game needs to exit, pack the resource files again, and then restart the game server and load All resource files. In this cold-start resource file loading solution, when the configuration of the resource file is changed, you need...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

In this cold-start resource file loading solution, when the configuration of the resource file is changed, you need to check the loading effect of the modified resource file, and you have to exit the game program. This workflow limits the repeated adjustment of the game and cannot be tested. More experimental data seriously affects the development speed and final game quality
