preloadjs continue loading on error

[ramarro123]

hello,

i am loading a big manifest of file on a queue, and i want to know if ti's possible to ignore 404 for certain file.

like game/lang/cn.json --> can be missing game/lang/en.json game/common/data.json game/specific/data.json --> can be missing

in that way i can keep the loading engine separated from the game logic, making it a component for my project.

at the moment, if one of the file is missing, preloadjs will just fail. if i set stopOnError, it affect all the files, not just some of them

regards

The queue does not stop if it encounters an error unless you tell it to. You should still receive fileload events for all your other items, and a complete event for your queue.

Are you seeing something different?

i am asking for something different, i think.

i want to block and throw error only on certain errors and ignore the others. if i do stoponerror of course, queue will stop on error :) if i don't set stop on error, then it won't stop on ANY error

i want to stop only on SOME error.

so basically, i want to set "stoponerror=false" (or true whatever) and set into the file "shouldstoponerror=true" (or false) that override the global queue way of handling things.

it's that possible?

If you want to stop on specific items, I recommend using the error event, and inspecting which item failed. You can then stop the queue if a certain item fails:

var queue = new createjs.LoadQueue();
queue.on("error", function(event) {
    var item = event.data,
        id = item.id;
    switch (id) {
        case "img2":
            queue.close(); // No more loading or events
            break;
    }
}
queue.loadManifest([
    {id: "img1", "path/to/image1.jpg"},
    {id: "img2", "path/to/image2.jpg"}, // 404 or something
    {id: "img3", "path/to/image3.jpg"}
]);

This is just pseudo-code (not tested), but you get the idea. If you want the queue to stop under specific conditions, this is the best way (rather than some rarely-used API like adding stopOnError to load items.

Hope that makes sense.
