Max Libraries that don't work in Max 7.2

Sofía Rodríguez's icon

Hello everyone,
I updated Max version from 7 to 7.2 and there are functions that seems that they are not working in the new version, (Lsum, Lmult, o.pack/inputs, o.route/inputs/analogue., o.expr.codebox. etc.). This objects come from "Lobjects library and "odot" library. I am a beginner! . Please, could you help me with this?

The project consists of 3 flex sensors in a glove that change the drawings in a 16×16 neopixel matrix. I attended to a one-course day 6 months ago and the MAX expert did the code. Now, I bought and X-OSC board myself and I don’t know how to fix it.

what does the Mac console say?
couldn't it be a 32-64bit mode issue?
check out Max "Get Info" and see if "start in 32-bit mode" could help

The odot library is working fine for me on OSX when opening in either 32-bit or 64-bit. AFIAK, these externals are 32-bit only in Windows.

Thank you everyone, I have tried everything but it is not working :( . What can I do? . I installed Max 7.1 on Windows 8.1 32-bit . The external libraries "Lobjects" and "odot" I followed the following procedure to install them :
1> Unzip and install MaxMsp on your machine following the setup instructions of the software
2> Navigate to the Cycling '74/Max 7/Resources Folder and make a new folder with the name: _Libraries
3> Make 2 new folders in this _Libraries folder and call them "Lobjects and “cnmat"
4> Unzip the contents of Lobjects and put these in the Lobjects folder
5> Unzip the contents of odot and put these in the cnmat folder.
6> Run MaxMsp (it should be in your folder program files (X86) /Cycling ’74/Max 7).

The Max console gives me these errors:
o.expr.codebox: o.expr.codebox: no such object
newobj: o.pack: No such object
newobj: Lsum: No such object
newobj: Lsum: No such object
newobj: Lsum: No such object

o.expr.codebox: o.expr.codebox: no such object
newobj: o.pack: No such object
newobj: o.route: No such object

Any help will be appreciated, please, I am so frustrated with this :( . Thank you in advance,

hi sofia.
the Cycling ’74/Max 7/Resources Folder is not the proper place to install 3rd party externals and libraries.

the easiest place to put these file is in the user documents Max 7/Library folder (on windows /Users//My Documents/Max 7/Library).
every file in that folder will be added to the search path.

if the library is a package, you can place it in the Documents/Max 7/Packages folder.
info on packages is found here: https://docs.cycling74.com/max7/vignettes/packages

or maybe just add Cycling ’74/Max 7/Resources to your search path in the File Preferences?
