If you’re using Deadline 3.0, you can find the scripting documentation here:
franticfilms.com/software/su … ipting.php

If you’re using Deadline 2.7, we’ve made the old scripting documentation available here:
viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1465

i use Deadline 2.6

i download Attachments (Deadline 2.7 Scripting.zip) - but i can read *.doc files. Microsoft office say: “wrong character set” and i cant find working set…

The docs should still be relevant for Deadline 2.6. I’ve re-saved the files as a different .doc format, which Microsoft Office shouldn’t have a problem with (I was able to open these files in Wordpad without any problems). Just re-download the docs and try again.

deadline 3 use pyton… byt 2.x use basic for scripting…
in v.3 will be work scripts from 2.x or not?

Unfortunately, no. The general flow though of these scripts hasn’t changed though, so once you become familiar with the Python syntax, porting your vbscripts over shouldn’t be too painful.
