This change has been made while working in the H17 plugin version. Now you need to add "Octane" as vopnet mask in the Octane HDAs, as expected (the same happens with Mantra and all the other external renderers).
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,
