DL 6.2 - Vray Spawner Version not sticky

Only a small thing, but the selection of the 3DsMax version is no longer ‘sticky’ when submitting a vray spawner job from the launcher :slight_smile:

Good catch! Easy one to fix and will make sure this gets included in the next release. Just open up this python file:

“[your_repo_path]/scripts/Submission/VraySpawnerSubmission.py”

and edit the order of the following line from:

[code] settings = (“DepartmentBox”,“CategoryBox”,“PoolBox”,“SecondaryPoolBox”,“GroupBox”,“PriorityBox”,“MachineLimitBox”,“IsBlacklistBox”,“MachineListBox”,“LimitGroupBox”,“MaximumServersBox”,“ApplicationBox”,“VersionBox”,“PortNumberBox”,“IsInterruptible”)
scriptDialog.LoadSettings( GetSettingsFilename(), settings )

PopulateDropDowns(None)[/code]

and just move the “PopulateDropDowns(None)” line to be above the “settings = …” line as follows:

[code] PopulateDropDowns(None)

settings = ("DepartmentBox","CategoryBox","PoolBox","SecondaryPoolBox","GroupBox","PriorityBox","MachineLimitBox","IsBlacklistBox","MachineListBox","LimitGroupBox","MaximumServersBox","ApplicationBox","VersionBox","PortNumberBox","IsInterruptible")
scriptDialog.LoadSettings( GetSettingsFilename(), settings )[/code]

thanks, fixed!

Somehow my DL launcher doesn’t start automatically after updating to 6.2
I re-enabled it in the settings (untick-tick) but didn’t help.
Shall I task-schedule it manually or is it better to reinstall?

Great.

I’m not too sure what you mean by “I re-enabled it in the settings (untick-tick) but didn’t help.”
The Deadline Launcher icon won’t be present if you are running it as a service/daemon or if you started the launcher via this command:

deadlinelauncher -nogui

However, I assume none of this is the case for you? So, sounds like a bad install and maybe re-install will clear this up.
(Make sure you re-install as a user with admin rights)

If this is still an issue after re-install, then BEFORE you reboot the machine after re-install, please provide the installer log, which will be in:

“C:\Users%username%\AppData\Local\Temp”

yeah… i was a bit confused… there’s an option to enable “launch slave at startup” mistakenly remembered it as “launch launcher at startup” :slight_smile:
Should have checked… I indeed don’t have it running as service.

Will re-install it in a bit and let you know if there’s trouble.
