Jigsaw error

Deadline
1

Hi

I am getting this error when submitting a second tile render (jigsaw job). I have to close the window and reopen it to get it to submit.

Submission Error: Priority was specified as “undefined”, but Input string was not in a correct format. (System.FormatException)

I am using ver 7.2

Thanks

This sounded familiar, so I checked Git and it was reported and then fixed 7 months ago.
Are you running the very latest update 7.2.4.0 ?

You could fix it yourself if you don’t want to update Deadline, it is just one single line of code that needs to be moved a few lines up.

Look for the line “–CHANGE PRIORITY FOR STEREO CAMERAS” in the file SubmitMaxToDeadline_Functions.ms in your Repository\submission\3dsmax\Main\ folder.

[code] try(SMTD_MainRollout.sld_lastSubmissionState.color = yellow)catch()

		if SMTDSettings.UseBatchRender and SMTDSettings.BatchRenderMode == 1 then
		(
			close initialArgsFile 
			initialArgsFileName = "\""+initialArgsFileName+"\""

			--CHANGE PRIORITY FOR STEREO CAMERAS	
			local oldStereoPriority = SMTDSettings.Priority[/code]

Take the line “local oldStereoPriority = SMTDSettings.Priority” and move it up right between the try()catch() and the if… then lines:

[code] try(SMTD_MainRollout.sld_lastSubmissionState.color = yellow)catch()
local oldStereoPriority = SMTDSettings.Priority
if SMTDSettings.UseBatchRender and SMTDSettings.BatchRenderMode == 1 then
(
close initialArgsFile
initialArgsFileName = “”"+initialArgsFileName+"""

			--CHANGE PRIORITY FOR STEREO CAMERAS	
			[/code]

Save the file, restart SMTD, hopefully the error will be gone.
