Circular Dependency Error while building addon

[_SCAR 139]

I have two mods:

 

• A mod that contain houses, properly named with Land_* prefixes.
• A terrain mod.

  
From Terrain Builder I have imported the houses, and I can place them and render them with Buldozer - no problems here.
Problems arise when I build the terrain mod, I get a:

 

19:10:37 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
19:10:37 Circular addon dependency detected (2 addons).

This is CfgPatches for my_terrain:

class CfgPatches
{
	class my_terrain
	{
		units[] = {my_terrain};
		weapons[] = {};
		requiredVersion = 0.1;
		requiredAddons[] = {"A3_Data_F","A3_Roads_F","A3_Map_Data","A3_Map_Stratis","A3_Structures_F"};
		fileName = "my_terrain.pbo";
		author[] = {"_SCAR"};
		versionDesc = "My Terrain";
		version = "1.00";
		versionStr = 1.0;
		versionAr[] = {1, 0, 0};
		magazines[] = {};
		ammo[] = {};
	};	
};

 

This is CfgPatches for My_Terrain_Houses:

 

class CfgPatches
{
    class My_Terrain_Houses
    {
        // author
        name = "My Terrain Houses";
        author = "_SCAR";
        // settings
        weapons[] = {};
        requiredVersion = 0.1;
        units[] =
        {
            "Land_Colored_House_01_F"
        };
        requiredAddons[] = {"A3_Structures_F"};
    };
};

 

This generates 2 pbo: 

• @my_terrain\Addons\my_terrain.pbo
• @my_terrain\Addons\my_terrain_houses.pbo

Any ideas of what I may be doing wrong? Or, alternatively, how to generate a *single* pbo which contains everything?

You have a class name or are using a name that leads back to its self in the config.  

 

units[] = {my_terrain}; // try changing the name in these curly brackets.

You already have my_terrain defined in the class above.

 

Circular dependency errors work the same in MS excel as well. You have a cell with data or formula or in your case in the config pointing back to its self.  Causes an error every time.

 

Hope that helps.

Thank you swtx for your response. That's how you define terrain worlds though, so it has to be there.

I was actually able to solve this by first repackaging My_Terrain_Houses, then My Terrain. I guess this has to do with having the My_Terrain_Houses inside of the temp directory?... Will do some more tries.

That tells you a lot about my terrain building knowledge, lol.

 

I'm glad you got it !
