Error with Single Frame Tiles

Ver. 8.1.5.5

When switching to Tiles and choosing SINGLE FRAME - Tile as Task this error shows. See attached screenshot.

Thanks for the report!
The error comes from a sanity check, but the cause is that someone retired the property SingleTileJobDraft from SMTDSettings, which is a big no-no. The property itself is being deprecated (the ONLY way to assemble now is using Draft, because the old Tile Assembler is gone). But we should never remove retired SMTDSettings properties, we should just mark them as deprecated.

The easiest way to fix this yourself without waiting for a new build is to

*Go to the Repository folder
*Navigate to submission/3dsmax/main
*Open the file SubmitMaxToDeadline_Functions.ms
*Locate the line (should be around line #252) that says

		SingleTileJobCleanup = false,

and add another line behind it that says

		SingleTileJobDraft = true, --deprecated, always using Draft

The resulting section of the script should now look like

SingleTileJob = true, --deprecated, see RegionRenderingMode SingleTileJobDependent = true, SingleTileJobCleanup = false, SingleTileJobDraft = true, --deprecated, always using Draft SingleTileJobDraftErrorOnMissing = true, SingleTileJobLeft = "", SingleTileJobRight = "",

*Save the file.
*Restart SMTD and try to submit again.

We will fix this on our side. Sorry for the inconveniences!

Fixed, thanks.
