Something must have gotten botched when i launched R4: The

you force Rb to recompile the plugins?

There are a couple of reasons that r4 may not see your existing plugins.
1. r4 no longer supports resources based plugins, and simply ignores
them. Check the console log.
2. If the IDE is running on Intel then the plugins MUST have an
Intel part, even if you just want to compile your existing app for
PPC and Windows.
I'm guessing you need to either update your plugins to UB versions
or run the IDE on PPC.
I also should have mentioned that your plugins will have to be in
.rbx format in any case. That's the only plugin format supported by
any version of the r4 IDE.
You can easily convert your existing non-rbx plugins to the now
required rbx format using the Plugin Converter found in the SDK
folder that's included with the full r4 download.
Once you've converted your existing plugins, you should be able to
compile your existing applications using the PPC IDE. Either download
the separate PPC IDE or use GetInfo on the UB IDE and set the "Open
with Roestta" checkbox.
To use the UB IDE, you must get UB versions of all plugins that you use.
Hope this helps,
Joe Huber
