Custom Houdini Plugin Param Configuration

Hi,

I’ve made some changes to the Houdini submitter (submission/Houdini) & plugin (plugins/Houdini).

The original code is unaltered - I’ve duplicated to custom/submission/Houdini and custom/plugins/Houdini and made all changes there. This seems to work fine and the Deadline ROP uses the custom plugin correctly when submissions are made.

However I’ve noticed the param entry under Tools > Configure Plugins > Houdini doesn’t appear to have any affect on the custom Houdini plugin?

What is the correct way to configure a custom plugin which is overriding one of the default ones?

Can the plugin be renamed to something other than ‘Houdini’ while still replacing the original?

Thanks

Hi,

Just checking: Did you copy all the files from plugins/Houdini to custom/plugins/Houdini?

custom/plugins/Houdini/
├── Houdini.ico
├── Houdini.options
├── Houdini.param
├── Houdini.py
└── hrender_dl.py

Can you give an example of how the param file doesn’t affect the custom Houdini plugin? Like the executable paths are not updated or ?
