We use a custom maxscript to submit files to the farm. When deadline gets updated on the server the regular deadline submitter will check and perform an update. As we don’t use this submitter I would like to include the functions to perform this update in my own script. I have been looking through the main SMTD scripts and haven’t managed to find the function that does this. Is this possible and can I have some help? Thanks.

Hey Ryan,
In \your\repository\submission\3dsmax\Client, there is a Deadline3dsMaxClient.mcr script that you would normally install on your workstation if you were using our submitter (SMTD). This is a proxy script that syncs the SMTD script files from \your\repository\submission\3dsmax\Main to the local machine and then executes them. So you should be able to find what you need in there.
If you have any questions, let us know!
Cheers,
Ryan
Thanks Ryan.
It looks like this script might have the bits I need. It would have been nice if they were in a separate function instead of embedded in the macroscript though as if I copy them over I’ll have to watch out for updates in the future.

We never update the actual MacroScript on your workstations. We update the MacroScript on the Repository, but it requires manual installation. So if you install your own MacroScript on the workstations that uses portions of ours, and copies your own files over (and possibly the SubmitMaxToDeadline_Functions.ms if you are using some of the SMTD stuff), you should be safe.
