Submit Render layers seperately

I want to submit render layers as seperate muster render jobs. Since the Maya submission script does not offer this option, i need help to get it to work.

I already tweaked the muster.mel script to send one job for each renderable render layer. The only problem that i have is, that muster does not care at all about my additional flag that i added to the mrtool command line:

part of the MEL code (i just added the part from -attr on)

$cmdline = $cmdline + “-v 3 -n “” + $jobname + “” -f “” + MS_Proc_ToOsPath($pubscene) + “” -proj “” + MS_Proc_ToOsPath($publishRoot) + “” -attr ADDPARAMS “-rl ” + $renderLayers1[$i] + “” 0″;

When i send the job, the muster output states this:

– Spawning Mrtool with the following parameters: -b -s fbbserver2 -port 7681 -u “renderuser” -p “” -sf 1 -ef 200 -bf 1 -attr MAYADIGITS 4 0 -se 1 -st 1 -e 2 -pool “QUAD” -pk 50 -pr 1 -max 0 -v 3 -n “layerTestScene” -f “X:projectsceneslayertest.mb” -proj “X:scenesproject” -attr ADDPARAMS “-rl layer3” 0

Now when i look on the render job in the muster explorer, there is no additional flag set on the render jobs, although i explicitly added “-rl” with the appropriate layer name.

I need a hint what to do, adding these -rl lines to every job manually is no option.

-edit-

got it to work, was the wrong parameter.

nonetheless the connector script could use some more love of you guys. Render output location should be part of the window gui and all this publishing is unnecessary if you just want to leave your file where it is. Also texture checking is nice, but should be an option and not a must every time you want to submit a job.
