I worry a bit about that, too.  Be sure to let the good folks at RS
know that game development is important to you, whenever you have the
chance.  And, the very best way to demonstrate the importance of this
is to develop (and release!) great games in RB.

Hmm, that's odd.  I'm quite sure they didn't intentionally take away
the Open event.  Does the Rb3DSpace even draw itself correctly in the
IDE, or does it look like a little generic control icon?  I suspect the
latter, which means that the Rb3D (internal) plug-in hasn't even been
loaded into the IDE.  You need to install Quesa (and more particularly,
the Intel or UB version of Quesa).

We should probably file a feature request for RB to have Quesa
installed with it by default, so that new users don't run into this
major stumbling block.

That's an odd error.  But I continue to suspect that the Rb3D plugin
hasn't loaded at all.

Why "huh"?  That's an exceptionally clear error message.  I recently
ran into the same thing myself recently, with an old PEF project that I
was now building as Mach-O (as is necessary for Intel support, alas). 
I made the change it told me to, and all was fine.

Really?  Doesn't seem that long ago.  Time sure flies!

Well, when you started there were no such things as Intel Macs.  Go
back to building PEF apps on PPC Macs and it'll be exactly the same as
it was.  :)  But Apple is making an architecture change, which means
that we all have to jump through some extra hoops.  Once you get past
them,  it'll all be smooth sailing again.
