Topic: Order of addons

I have made several dependent addons for the European tribe. Including Craft Addon, Food Addon, Terraforming Addon and Trading Addon. All these addons require the basic European tribe as I have not included all the basic definitions in each addon.

The problem now is that the addons in the manager are sometimes sorted before and sometimes after the main addon. The ones behind it function completely normally. Those in front of it are not, due to the dependencies. How is the order of the addons decided in the manager and how can I influence this as an addon developer?

That's what the "requires" key in the addon file is for. If the add-on "extended.wad" sets requires="base.wad", then Widelands will demand that if "extended.wad" is enabled, then "base.wad" must be enabled too and sort earlier in the list of add-ons than "extended.wad".

It works for two (terraforming, trading) of them, but not for craft and food addon.
