Is it just me, or is subdiv~ not working properly anymore in Max 9.2?

I’m struggling with a rather annoying problem: Since a couple of days max stores .txt-files for coll always in /Programm-Folder. That doesn't make sense, since i checked all reasons (e.g. preferred folder not existing, wrong path or error in description of the path, …) It all looks as though it should work. But it doesn't. But the .txt-file will be read from project folder (as desired). The same problem appears using text-object or dict. Does anybody know some tricks to solve this?

I'm making a patch where I'm using a gl.multiple planes object and using like 200 different textures, all logos with white backgrounds .png. 

I know that you can use colormodes to do this an "multiply" but it doesn't look very good, and when they layer on top of each other weird things start to happen.

I want to figure out an away to remove the white from the background of the pngs, so that they are truly transparent. Is there a way to do this?

I can't account for the missing texture in my patch here. There is always one undefined texture coming from the textureset object and I don't know what's causing it.

Also, is the textureset object able to access the frames from jit.movie or is it sampling at a steady rate and drawing to a new texture?

I tried using the [if...] fonction to test if a value is between 0 and 1 this way :

[if $f1 > 0. || $f1 < 1. then $f1 else 0.]

[if $f1 > 0. || $f2 < 1. then $f1 else 0.] works

But I can't find out how to make two test on the same $f1

I'm having trouble with my PBR heightmap. I've seen on YouTube that it's possible to use PBR to create textures on curved surfaces that have a transparent silhouette. but it's not working for me. My spheres look more like crystal balls. Does anyone know how to get that effect? I'd rather not use gl.material because I want to spare my computer and use GPU because I want multiple of these shapes.

I could really use some help here. I have a very simple RNBO patch that plays a looped soundfile on a Raspberry Pi 4. The patch uses a simple ~buffer object with a WAV soundfile that is looped indefinitely, started with a loadbang. 

I've used this patch before without a problem.

In my current project, the patch launches and the soundfile plays just after export. The problem is that once the Pi is unplugged, it won't work when the Pi is plugged in again. I've never had this problem.

well I dislike installing Max, new EXE is not using msi but  Inno Setup installer

so one has to use innoextractor to do the same as before with msi extractor.

result is more or less the same, only we get now separate VC_redist.x64.exe installer 

I also dislike installing runtime files, but rather extract them and place into root of max folder.

with that few tools It is again possible to make  portable max folder, 

without any trace of install / uninstall process.

Windows Installer improvements ...
