There’s a bug in the code that gives you an error when launching Submit To Deadline…
In max 9 you can’t have a tooltip on a DropdownList control for some reason…
if (maxversion())[1] != 9000 then --new line
( --new line
--find this code in your SubmitMaxToDeadline.ms
ddl_sceneSubmissionMode.tooltip = case ddl_sceneSubmissionMode.selection of
(
1: "The current scene will be saved to a temporary file which will be sent with the job and will be stored in the Job's folder in the Repository."
2: "The current scene will be saved to a temporary file which will be copied to a Globally-Defined Alternative Network Location (e.g. dedicated file server).\n\nIt is specified in Repository\Submission\3dsmax\SubmitMaxToDeadline_Defaults.ini [GlobalSettings] SubmitSceneGlobalBasePath key.\n\nIt will be referenced by the Job via its path only.\n\nThis will reduce the load on the Repository server."
3: "The current scene will be saved to a temporary file which will be copied to a User-Defined Alternative Network Location (e.g. dedicated file server) stored as a local setting.\n\nIt will be referenced by the Job via its path only.\n\nThis will reduce the load on the Repository server."
4: "The current scene will NOT be saved, but the original file it was opened from will be referenced by the job. \n\nAssuming the file resides on a dedicated file server, this will speed up submission and rendering significantly, but current changes to the scene objects will be ignored."
