Hi
Pardon my noob-ness. In some plugin code examples i find in here and on the net theres sometimes variables of type UCHAR. In the sdk theres a UChar. If i change to "UChar" i still get an error: "Unexpected type name 'UChar'"
I can find the definition in "ge_sys_math.h" but i still get errors even if this one is included.Any help appreciated.
Cheers

UCHAR has been deprecated and replaced with UChar in R16. Real is now Float, INT is now Int32, LONG is now Int64, etc. If you are building for R16, this should not be happening. Make sure that you are referencing the proper version resource in your project.

Thanks a lot! I'll look into it in the morning. I'm probably doing something wrong as i can "Jump to definition" in xcode so it knows where the file is but i still get an error with "Unexpected type name 'UChar': expected expression".

Sometimes this can be related to include orders or where the include is. I've been spending my day updating R13 code to R16 and also trying to avoid including in include files. VS really didn't like much of that (even in the includes that were in the cpp file ahead of said include). It may just be an include issue or order of include issue. Make sure that you are getting your c4d.h include referenced before use of its types.

Thanks Robert. The UChar error was related to GeAllocType. It turned out the there was a "GeAllocType()" statement in the code, that's now supposed to be "NewMemClear" instead.There wasn't any reference to GeAllocType in the SDK, not even a deprecated entry, so i thought that GeAllocType was maybe a typo. But i found a post here that cleared that up.

This is only partially right.
UCHAR and Co. are already deprecated in R15.
Here is how common types need to be changed for this:// new type old type typedef Char CHAR; typedef UChar UCHAR; typedef Int16 SWORD; typedef UInt16 UWORD; typedef Int32 LONG; typedef UInt32 ULONG; typedef Int64 LLONG; typedef UInt64 LULONG; typedef Int VLONG; typedef UInt VULONG; typedef Float Real; typedef Float32 SReal; typedef Float64 LReal; typedef Vector32 SVector; typedef Vector64 LVector; typedef Matrix32 SMatrix; typedef Matrix64 LMatrix; typedef Vector4d32 SVector4; typedef Vector4d64 LVector4; typedef Vector4d Vector4; typedef Matrix4d32 SMatrix4; typedef Matrix4d64 LMatrix4; typedef Matrix4d Matrix4;More information can be found in "_api/legacy.h" file.

Hi,
Since it appears that the issue has been solved, and it's been over a week since the last post, I'm adding the solved tag to this topic.
