@m_magalhaes
Thank you for a quick reply!
I'm sorry, I made an idiotic mistake. I simply didn't add
the following piece of code:

case C4DPL_INIT_SYS:
	{
		// load resources defined in the the optional "res" folder
		if (!g_resource.Init())
			return false;

		return true;
	}

in the main.cpp

Thanks, again.
I hope my next questions will have more sense.
It should be an architecture plugin in the end :)

Dear fellows, I'm trying to write my first plugin in c++.
I followed instructions, and with the help of the projecttool created the plugin folders.

I managed to create a plugin that draws a cube in viewpoirt.
Even more, my plugin has its own logo.tif in the r21 <extensions menu> in cinema4d r21, but it has a blank space instead of a name.

As far as I understand the name comes from the file myplugin/res/strings_en-US/c4d_strings.str

I created this folder and c4d_strings.str file with

STRINGTABLE
{
IDS_MYPLUGIN "Make Cube";
}

Here is my registration line in the myplugin.cpp

RegisterCommandPlugin(1054040, GeLoadString(IDS_MYPLUGIN), 0, AutoBitmap("icon.tif"_s), "MyPlugin"_s, NewObjClear(MyPlugin));

However, the name of the plugin is still missing in the extentions menu in c4d.
What do I do wrong?

Yaroslav.
P.S.

I'm newbe in c++ and had only python experience before.
