In H17 the old trick of checking inside the HDAs if there were Octane vop nodes to enable it as Octane HDA was impossible, and in any case, this trick was really slow in the pipelines managing a lot of HDAs (and not standard at all in Houdini), so all this code has been removed from the plugin. Defining the proper vopnet mask for the HDA is the way to go ...
Thanks,

Thanks, yeah I was mostly a bit stumped since it used to work and suddenly stopped. But I have updated the HDA's with the 'Octane' vopnet mask now and they work and from what I can see it works in v3 and v4 and both H16.5 and H17 with the 'Octane' vopnet mask so I am all good again =) thanks!
