Help! Deadline 2.5 does not show full submit dialog box

Hello all,

We're using deadline 2.5, and are having a problem submitting a job. When we use the submit 3ds max to deadline, the dialog box comes up just fine, but when we use the "Submit box sample", or the "submit maya to deadline", we get a dialog box with the submit parameters, but no submit button! it seems that the dialog box is a bit smaller than our screen height (1024x768), but there are no scroll bars to get to the submit button (the last option are the render sizes, etc.). We cant use tab either.

Any idea how to rectify this?

Thanks in advance!

Have you tried using the Maya integrated submission script, which allows you to submit jobs from directly inside Maya? The instructions for installing it can be found here:

If that’s not an option, you can remove some settings from the submission dialog that you might not use, or double the width of the dialog and place more controls on a single line. You can find the submission dialog script in \your\repository\scripts\Submission\Submit_Maya_To_Deadline, and the file is called Submit_Maya_To_Deadline.vbs. The setup of the submission dialog is all done near the top.

Just let us know if you have any questions.

You actually have to modify the script itself to change the size of the dialog or remove particual settings. I’ve attached a script where I’ve doubled its width and moved the options on to multiple lines. This should hopefully fit in your window. Just copy it to the folder \your\repository\scripts\Submission\Submit_Maya_To_Deadline and remove the “.removeme” extension. You might want to make a backup of the original just in case.



Hope this helps!
