"Output File (Optional)" not working in 3ds max cmd submit?

if I submit a file to render using the “Submit 3ds Command Job To Deadline” in Deadline 7.2.2.1 R with the settings from the attached screenshot… no file is created, and no error (that I can see) is written in the log (see attached) …

So am I trying to do something that’s you can’t do, or is this option broken in this build? :slight_smile:

ps if I watch the slave, the file is rendering just fine … just no files saved… ??

ps I have found a “solution”, since you fixed the PreRenderScript feature … I can just set the output using a .ms script … :slight_smile:

Hi,
Looks like a silly typo that was fixed ages ago, never got back-ported to a 7.2.x release, although I could have sworn it was, but no. Maybe it was just as we launched 8.0…I’m not sure. Anyhow, easy enough to fix quickly. Open this file in your repo:

<your_repo>/scripts/submission/3dsCommandSubmission.py

line: #1706

writer.WriteLine( "OutputFilename=%s" % scriptDialog.GetValue("OutputBox"))

replace with:

writer.WriteLine( "RenderOutput=%s" % scriptDialog.GetValue("OutputBox"))

Save file, re-submit. Job done.

thanks … that was way less painful than expected! :slight_smile:
