Howdy,

Well, I compiled my plugins in the R17 Demo and they loaded fine. But, now that I've installed the R17 Full version and copied the plugins over to that, they aren't loading. I'm having to recompile them in the Full version's plugin directory.

What's wrong and is that going to be a problem for those who download the plugins and install them on their machines?

Adios,
Cactus Dan

Looks like it's happened on both Mac OS and Windows. The plugins compiled with the R17 Demo won't load in the R17 Full version and must be recompiled. Why?

Which versions are you comparing? 17.032 full version with 17.032 demo or an older full version?

17.032 changed to python 2.7 (the first full version - 17.016 - used the older python lib 2.6 instead) and 17.032 contains extended functionality (e.g. for take & token system, network, houdini exchange, ...) which wasn't present in the R17.016 SDK.

As 17.032 (SP1 for the full version) was available with the release of R17 (and contains a lot of fixes and enhancements) it is recommended to use this SDK version when compiling for R17 (if you don't use the above functionality you're fine with R17.016 too, but that requires some investigation in the functionality you're using).

Best regards,

One moment, Wilfried
Current demo of r17 is 17.032 build.
Dan, as i remember, has c++ plugins, why are you write about python?!

Anyway there is interesting situation!

or you mean that Dan did not update Full to 17.032?

Howdy,

OK, that makes sense. When I downloaded the full version I did not install the update because I was anxious to test the plugin compiles in the full version. 

Thanks.

EDIT:
And yes, I'm compiling c++ plugins.

Adios,
