Obsolete argument warning

[alainfx]

Hi,

I have installed the latest stable nightly (build 22419), with Maya2013 on Windows Seven 64bit.

I am using this command-line render :
render -r vray -threads 0 -rd O:/pathToWriteImages/output -s 1 -e 5 -proj O:/pathToMyProject O:/pathToMyScene/test.mb

While rendering, I get this warning twice :
Warning: file: d:\temp\AST80FB292.tmp line 11: The flag "-renderType" is obsolete and has been replaced by the "-fileRule" flag. Please use the new flag.

Looking at the "d:\temp\AST80FB292.tmp" file (which I guess is produced by VRay), I see this at line 11 :
workspace -rt "images" "O:/pathToWriteImages/output";workspace -rt "depth" "O:/pathToWriteImages/output";; // For flag -rd

Please use the new syntax, as artists are looking for "warnings" and "errors" in logs, so false positives are a loss of time.

Thanks.

Hi,

Thank you for the report. I've seen where the problem is and I'll fix it as soon as possible.

Thanks Teodor.
Is it something I can change in the current VRay installation ?
(I searched in VRay's mel scripts, but didn't find it, so I guess it's in the cpp plug-in)

[vlado]

No, it's not in .cpp code but in the vrayRenderer.xml file; Teodor will get you more details.

Best regards,
Vlado

It is in the vrayRenderer.xml.

This is the line that should be change:

<mel n="rd" p="1" t="path" s='workspace -rt "images" "%1";workspace -rt "depth" "%1";' h="Directory in which to store image file"/>

I've already fixed the mel files, but I've skipped this file, because my find in files filter doesn't have xml in it.

So in the vrayRenderer.xml file I will replace both "-rt" entries by "-fileRule".
Teodor, are you saying there are also mel files that need to be modified ?

[t.petrov]

Yes, replace -rt with -fileRule/-fr.
And no, I've fixed all mel/c++ files already.

/Teodor

[alainfx]

I modified the vrayRenderer.xml file (replaced -rt by -fr).
I launched a render to check, it's fixed, thanks !

[t.petrov]

Ok, this should be fixed in the next nightly, too.
Thanks for reporting it.
