Author Topic: "nested add-on" error in console  (Read 348 times)

Whenever I create an add-on or even barely modify one, this error occurs:
Code: [Select]
AddOnGui checking Add-On: Weapon_ADDONNAME/ADDONNAME
    nested add-on - will not execute

Why does this happen and how do I fix it?

Ive had this happen a lot.
I think that when you zipped the re-zipped fold it became...

Add-onName >> Add-onName >> Add-onContent
  --FOLDER-- >>   --FOLDER--   >>     --FILES--

It should be...

Add-onName >> Add-onContent
  --FOLDER--  >>     --FILES--

I still don't get how to fix this or even why it happens. Could anyone help me further?

Do you have a folder inside your zip?

Folders are allowed in zips (see RTB) but folders (or zips) inside zips with the same name as the zip are not allowed and will cause nested add-on errors.
