I'm having an issue with the simple baker where it fails with this…
Traceback(most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "opdef:/gamedev::Sop/sop_simple_baker::2.0?PythonModule", line 6, in render

OperationFailed: The attempted operation failed.
Error: Error rendering child: /obj/terrain/sop_simple_baker1/ropnet1/rop_games_baker/render_plane
Edit: It seems that it's 9/10 on the second bake. Like the same geo and increasing the resolution, or same settings and slightly different geo.
I looked into the SOP and there are errors at a couple places. I've attached screenshots with the output errors.
I believe this should be bug #98361 But it should be already fixed.
From the support on 10 August:
The issue was an internal HDA (Games Baker) that was unlocked and not picking up the settings form the Simple Baker. Our developers have submitted a fix which should be available in tomorrow's daily build of the gamedev tools. After downloading the daily build tomorrow, please try creating a new Simple Baker and testing again.
I never tested again. Do you have the most update gamedev toolset? If so, please contact the support again
I also had a problem with this node on Houdini 18.5.596 and there was exactly the same error. After spending some time searching, I think I found a solution (at least this fix worked for me). The error in the “Labs Simple Baker" node comes from the “Labs Game baker" node (here is such an error https://steamcommunity.com/app/502570/discussions/0/3158630999996028330/?l=french)
This is a very simple fix. It is necessary to remove all occurrences of maxsplit= for the rsplit function in the PythonModule script (which is created inside HAD), leave only the value 1 because "named parameters" appeared only in Python 3.0, and 2.7 is used in Houdini 18.5
Save your changes as a mod in a separate hda file, install it in the project and switch to it. After that, Labs Simple Baker will also work. If it doesn't work after installation in the project and switching, then you need to delete the “Labs Game baker” node in the project and add it again.
