User Information:
Cinema 4D Version: 8.012
Platform:
Language(s) : C++ ;---------Is there anywhere in the reading of an older version of a data storage format that I can interpret old data tracks and reinterpret them to apply to new parameter tracks? The old system used a minimum and maximum falloff. The new plugin uses an anamorphic falloff system but I want to retain the any parameter animation coming out of the v7 plugin data format.

One way to remain backwards compatible is to use the same plugin ID for the R8 plugin. Then C4D will correctly import old tracks. You simply have to check on the fly if a track has been converted and set a flag in the container when it has. I use this method myself in MSA3.

Plugin ID the same
Parameter IDs from the original are all there.
Message ( when the document is opened ) does show that the track is on the object.
Timeline nor the AM shows the keyframes.Ideas?

Also, it seems to me that none of the SDK examples show how to deal with previous version files. In fact, they do not even seem to have the same plugin IDs. Can you just take a simple object such as the double circle and make it work right? That would be a great example. Maybe the rounded tube?
Thank you,
