Can't install 11olsen externals

Sapo's icon

Hi !

As the title says, I can't find how to install 11olsen packages...
I tried to put the folders inside personal and Max folders "Packages" (I also tried "Libraries")
but nothing does, the new object doesn't appear...

Thanks for your help !

Hi, I've not released any packages. But externals need to be in the Max search path. (One of the locations of your Options->File Prefs menu in Max).

Hi thanks for replying !
My bad it's not a package :)
I entered the location in the file prefs but I still can't get acces to your object, I don't understand what I'm doing wrong...

Can you just drag and drop the .mxe64 (or .mxo on Mac) into a patcher window ? You ever used any other 3rd party external successfully in the past?

I think problem come from here... That's the first I try to install an external object, I don't see any .mxe64 or .mxo... Here are the files I found on your Github

I succeed opening the .maxhelp by the way

Where I can find your .mxe64 / .mxo please ?

Ok, that's the source code, not the compiled external . My site with the downloads is down for some more days. You need strokes and clicks ?

Hi 11olsen !
It worked perfectly yesterday ! But for a reason I can't understand my patch doesn't work anymore today... It seems the shortcuts aren't executed but nothing changed since the last time I loaded the patch...
Do you have an idea on what can cause this behavior ? Thanks in advance !

Hi, hard to tell without any more info. Is the help patcher working? external working in in a new patcher?

Sapo's icon

Help patcher is working but the external isn't working anymore even in a new patcher...

When I'm on the locked patcher in Max I can hear "system alert" sound when pressing the trigger, so I guess 11strokes send something but the shortcut can't be applied since it doesn't exist in Max. When I close the patcher and try it in Live, it doesn't work. It seems the Live window isn't in focus looks likebut it is...

With Live you mean maxforlive? Have you set the path to your Max application in Live's preferences->File/Folder menu? BundledMax may have another searchpath than separately installed Max application.

Do you have the same behaviour with 11clicks?

Windows or Mac ?

If nothing helps send a patcher or post "copy compressed". And reproduceable steps which lead to the problem. The fact that it already worked for you before seems to indicate it's not a bug of the external.

Look for error messages in the Max console. In Live, click device header->"open Max window" i think.

My bad I forgot to mention that ! I use Maxforlive the bundled version

I didn't try 11clicks yet !

Very simple test here, I post you a pic and the patch:

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

As you can see I don't notice something wrong

A problem may be that you don't release the keys after pressing down.

I tried this but with no success :/

I always got this "alert sound" every time I open/close the patcher. I don't remember this happening yesterday... I'm pretty sure there a stupid thing to notice but I can't figure out what...

Did you check your Mac's security settings? Maybe you need to allow keyboard simulation first.

Yes I gave permissions to Live and Max... By the way it worked yesterday with only Live added.

Or maybe I have to do something else ?

This driving me crazy because it's working fine on my 2 others computers... :/
It's hurting to give up but I already spent to much time on this without finding the solution... it's so weird !

Sapo's icon

Ok... I rebooted once again and now it's working !... Impossible to understand what happened... There is a new clean install on this computer... So strange ! Sorry for disturbing you with this ! Thanks for your time !

No problem!
