Hello,
I started to testing my plugin on different pc and I got this werid characters or no strings at all.
I tested it using 3ds max 2017-2020 but only on my pc and everything was ok, unfortunately on other pc every thing looks like in this attached pictureā¦ some string/unicode problem?

I have compiled a basic plugin direclty from 3ds Plugin Wizard, and I have similar results on different PCā¦ maybe something with compiler settings?

I donāt know your MAX version but itās more likely the āunicodeā issue.
Everywhere in your plugin code change TCHAR to MCHAR and TSTR to MSTR.
You can change it globally but you have to touch as I remember library Headers. Maybe someone else has a better solution, but try what I said first to be sure itās the āunicodeā.

did your compilation result directly into your plugins-folder or did you copy it there after build ?
there is a *.mui file built with each plugin - a resource dll for localization (thatās where all the strings used by the plugin are)
either copy that one to to its sub-folder in plugins
or better
disable building the mui-file, in āConfiguration Properties - Build Events - Post-Build Eventā, āUse in Buildā to NO
localization was a bad idea for any software, not only max
makes more problems than it solves
