I'm on a mac power book g4. I opened an old max 4 patch in max 5. it uses the NewSieve patch and the L objects: Ladd, Lunique and Lclose.

In the max window I got the message that I have multiple copies of the objects, then I got messages like, "Ladd: unknown external object type"

I removed the multiple copies, but the objects still don't seem to work.

I just upgraded to Max 5.0.7 and got the same result. I searched the archives for info on Lobjects and where to put third party externals and didn't come up with anything. I've been putting third party externals in:

do Lobjects work in Max 5? I'm assuming they do, but I must have messed something up. thank you in advance for any help.

The Lobjects definitely do work in Max 5, I rely on them quite a bit. There are two things you need to check...

Firstly, you need to download the correct version of them. I fell into the trap of trying to install the wrong ones in Max 5 and they wouldn't work. The version for Universal Binary is required: 

ftp://arts.ucsc.edu/pub/ems/lobjects/Lobjects_UB_10_06.dmg

 - these are in the new external format that Max 5 requires (.mxo).

Secondly, the names of the objects may need to be all in lower case (I'm not totally sure if this is true but I remember having troubles with this in the past). If this is the case then use Automator to run a script on the files that modifies their names. Get the latest versions first though.

Also, I know that at least one object in the documentation doesn't exist in the package any more, but I don't recall which.

Give these a try and post back if you're still having issues.

ok, thanks for the info. I'll try these things out and get back to you.

Adam, thanks for your help. I got the version you suggested and that cleared up the problem. I had version 10_04 before, and I didn't need to make everything lowercase.

There is a newer version called Lobjects_expo.dmg, which I put together for the expo74. It contains a couple of new things and leaves out the UIs that don't work any more (they'll be back in the fall). You can just drop the whole thing into the cycling '74 folder

Object names are not case sensitive, but the autocomplete feature is in a very strange and entertaining way.

Yes, I've realised the issue with the autocomplete now, 'L' and 'l' are considered different in its eyes...
