Hi. We noticed that the path maps configured in Deadline Monitor do not replace some texture paths in the scene file. We are running a mixed farm and the linux slaves keeps looking for the windows drive for textures. Any working scripts to help us on this? Thanks
Hi @gigglers,
in the Configure repository options > Mapped paths.
This ui should allow you to setup that paths you want to substitute.
Let me us know if you have trouble figuring this out.
Hi, thanks for the reply. We actually did that, and all is well. Except the texture paths (which is within the mapped path set in ui) are still referring to window paths… i saw some forum post that there is a script to do swap of path in the .ma file itself but I dont know how to do this.
This is the setting in path mapping:
So K:\ is mapped to /mnt/Assets/ however, some texture files are not mapped i.e. the slave log below loads some texture correctly from /mnt/Assets/TTL_Assets but some still trying to load from windows’ K:/TTL_Assets which will fail.

I think it might be an incorrect error, where it its looking up the updated path, but fails and print out the original path.
on your linix machine, can you check that this exists:
/mnt/Assets/TTL_Assets/Characters/Global/LukeA/TTL_C_LukeA_RDR.mb
remember linux is case sensitive.
The file /mnt/Assets/TTL_Assets/Characters/Global/LukeA/TTL_C_LukeA_RDR.mb exists.
The scene got rendered but with black due to the failed texture loads… the texture files are there but not sure why it was not mapped by deadline.
hmmm,
Do you by any chance have a linux machine with a front end , that way you can test to see what is occuring?
essentially, you would load the scene up, change the paths in the reference editor for the references, then check the paths to the textures, maybe maya cant see the location of the textures and is returning the original path and not the updated path.
Thats all i have , sorry.
