Has anyone attempted to build out a standalone application from a Max patch that uses the cosm externals? Even in the event of including the cosm.mxo (on a Mac here), it doesn't find objects like cosm.master or cosm.nav. Any ideas?

Yeah, same problem here. Downloading the package and putting cosm.mxo from COSM_OSX_STARTUP seemed to take care of some errors, I also dumped "everything COSM" in the max externals into the standalone support, but it's still complaining about missing cosm.nav. I've reported this bug so fingers crossed.

I've been doing a bit of experimenting with this problem and I think I know the cause but don't know how to fix it. I'm able to open a collective that uses the cosm objects in Runtime after first copying the cosm externals to Max5 Runtime > Cycling '74 > max-externals folder. The catch is that I have to open the collective twice to get the objects to show up. This is because cosm loads AFTER it tries to locate the objects cosm.world and cosm.master. After cosm is already loaded, I'm able to close the collective while leaving runtime open and reopen the collective, and it works just fine.

In a full version of Max, cosm.mxo is put into the max-startup folder. When Max is opened cosm loads first, then Max locates the objects. There is a max-startup folder for runtime as well, however placing cosm.mxo in there doesn't work. This, I believe, is the same problem with making a standalone--that is, getting cosm.mxo to load upon the opening of runtime. I've tried placing cosm.mxo in different places in runtime as well as in different directories in the package contents of the standalone (including in a created directory called max-startup) and nothing seems to work. I've been searching the forums too and I can't seem to find any answers--the closest post I've found is this:

Anyone out there know how to automatically load an external upon runtime/standalone startup?

Hi Kevin. :)  Hope all is well in Eugene.

I am running into problems with cosm externals now. They appear to be missing-- Some of their example patches crash immediately. Anyone ever figure this out?

EDIT theyre working now hopefully ??? not gonna delete this post because im having a lot of problems with running this stuff correctly and almost positive i will run into more issues which are likely related to installation
