screamernet woes

[ben_smith]

hello boys and girls

I've been trying to get our ScreamerNet system working again, since I unplugged and reinstalled everything over the weekend. Bizarrly, the system doesn't seem to work. Although it will render some scenes, it won't render others. I'm using Lightnet and I'm *sure* I've got all the network locations mapped correctly, but it just refuses to work properly.

The problem seems to be with *some* scenes, that ScreamerNet finds the scene file and tries to load it and then just sits there doing nothing displaying "loading scene file". Like I say *some* scenes will load (pretty much instantly) and render, but others won't, and I can't figure out why this affects some but not others.

Wondered if anyone's seen this kind of fault before and has an opinion.

thanks,

ben

have you checked the config files for bad paths or did you change any drive names?

for anyone wondering what the solution to this problem is :

Spreadsheet will add the something to the effect of "spreadsheet standardbanks" into the scene.

Open the scene in a text editor and loose those. Resave, and you're good to
go.
