Maxscript SMTDSettings and SMTDFunctions documentation

Deadline
1

Hi all…
I’m using Deadline 5.2 with 3dsmax

I am doing the ‘Custom MAXScript Submission Tutorial’ and it really has opened the door to new ideas! Part way in the tutorial, they show a way to display all properties that can be used in while submitting with maxscript. To give an example typing “show SMTDSettings” in the listener will print a list of all these properties. Likewise, typing “show SMTDFunctions” will print a list of functions that can be called.

My question is(for now anyway), is there any documentation that explains what these properties or functions do, and how they are used, what type of parameters they accept, etc…? I haven’t been able to find any documentation so any help would be greatly appreciated. Some of these properties and self explanatory by name, while others are not.

Thanks

Hi,

In the early days there used to be some documentation of them, but there is nothing for the current version.
The reason is that they are both defined in the file SubmitMaxToDeadline_Functions.ms found in the Repsitory\Submission\3dsmax\ folder and an interested user can just open that file and see how they were used and what they do. :wink:

If you have any questions about them, please post here.

Thanks for the reply,

That’s what I started to doing and what ultimately prompted me to search this forum. So many :astonished: It would have been nice to have a quick reference to what type of “goodies are in the basket”.
