How Do I Upload to Map for Primary

Delight 𝓀𝒾𝓃𝒹𝓁𝓎 GӨ П FЦᄃK YӨЦЯƧΣᄂF

This guide only covers uploading a map, with no custom content shipped with it.
For that yous need pakrat, and that's piece of cake enough to utilize, simply practise note it has the tendency to pause maps occasionally, then don't trust it fully.

Creating addon folders

[ane]Go to your desktop, create a folder. I will be referring to it as 'the addon folder'. From here on out, most folders and files names aren't customizable.

[2]Inside of the addon folder, create a new folder, proper name it 'maps'. Paste your bsp in the maps folder.

[3]Along side the new folder, not in it, correct click>new>text document. Call the text document 'addon'. do not modify this either.

[4]If you want a thumbnail that appears in the singleplayer carte, create a new folder in the maps folder named 'thumb', create a .png file with the same proper name every bit the .bsp file and identify it in this folder.

[v]Create a new text file in the addon folder past right clicking the inside of the folder, new, text document.

[6]Inside of the text file, write {LINK REMOVED}this, changing the championship and tags as they apply. (Alt link {LINK REMOVED}here )

[seven]Click on file, Salve As, change the save as type under where you lot type the name of the file to 'all files', and type addon.json

• List of map tags: ordered from most common to least mutual
  
• Fun
  
• Roleplay
  
• Scenic
  
• Movie
  
• Realism
  
• Cartoon
  
• Water
  
• Comic
  
• Build

[8]Make a 512x512 JPEG paradigm to be the thumbnail for your map, naming it anything you'd like. So move the JPEG to the desktop, not into the upload folder. Likewise it can be whatsoever size you want equally long as its even (I call up, id do 128,256,512 to be safe.)

Gmad

[1]At this point, your folder should expect similar this (roughly):

[two]Open the garrysmod directory at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\mutual\GarrysMod\bin"

[three]Scroll down to gmad.exe, drag the addon binder on meridian of gmad.

If information technology appears and closes immediately, with red text and no gma appears on the desktop, retry this guide from here up & refer to the errors department first entry.

Gmpublish/command prompt

[1]Move the JPEG picture to the inside of upload, along side the gma.
(i rename the gma file cause it looks nicer, I seriously doubtfulness its impact on annihilation.)

[]At present your folder should accept:

[ane] Maps>testmap.bsp
[2] testmappicture.jpg
[3] testmap.gma
[4] addon.json

[2]Click start>blazon cmd>right click>run as administrator. Its non absolutely necessary to run every bit administrator, but there'south a good hazard if yous can't do that, you deceit write to the garrysmod directory.

[iii]If your game directory and your Bone directory is on a different drive (Due east: & C:, for example), then before you access each drive with each CD command below, y'all must type the kickoff alphabetic character of the drive followed past a colon, ex "E:" earlier cd Due east:\.. or "C:" before cd C:\..
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\garrysmod\bin

• Change the (NAME) to your login name.

  gmpublish create -addon "C:\Users\(Proper noun)\Desktop\upload\testmap.gma" -icon "C:\Users\(NAME)\desktop\upload\testmappicture.jpeg"

  
  
• If your file is named testmappicture.jpg, modify this file extension to .jpg.
• If successful, this volition have a few minutes depending on the size of your addon.

[4]If in that location is cherry-red text on the control prompt says your addon is private then it is uploaded, and then it is non visible to the public, but is visible to steam mods, plain.

[5]Get to steam, hover over your name at the top, click 'content', click workshop items, click your addon, scroll down until you see visibility on the right, click the drop down arrow and click public.

Ensure you have agreed to the steam workshop rule thing, it should exist an orange bar at the top of the addon page. When its public and you accepted the rules, anyone tin can download your map to play.

Updating the already uploaded map

[1]Very similar to how to publish information technology, open Command Prompt and blazon cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\garrysmod\bin

[2]You need to get the ID of your workshop detail to update it, open up up steam and hover on your proper noun at the peak, go into content in the drop downward, click workshop items, and click on your map. when you're on the workshop folio for your map, it should say in green text at the summit of the page that should say something like https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1111111111. Where it replace the (ID) in the command with this number. It must also be public to be updated.

[3]Then type gmpublish update -id (ID) -addon "C:\Users\(NAME)\Desktop\upload\testmap.gma"

Mutual errors:

Gmad appears for a split 2nd and closes

You have to hit print screen right when it comes up to read it, or record information technology and pause the video when information technology appears. Read the error and go from in that location. Welcome to the source engine.

Could not open the map icon/gma file something similar that, in gmpublish.

This is a tricky error, often you don't know what you did to fix it, why it fixed it, or how yous'll fix it side by side time.
[one]Yous can try to resave the file in pigment, overwriting the old file.

• Open up your image in an prototype editing software, such as paint.
  
• Click File>Relieve
  
• Pray

[2]You can also endeavor saving it every bit a .jpg instead of .jpeg, sometimes that works. Ensure you lot change the -icon directory for command prompt to say .jpg if y'all do.
[3]That, or the directory to the image is incorrect that you typed into control prompt.
[four]This happens for the gma too, except for the gma the directory is wrong, and is relatively direct forrad.

(file) does not pass whitelist

Ensure you only accept the files i said to put in upload, whatsoever others volition whitelist everything. There is a few other things you can include in your addon, such as lua, and custom textures, models, and sounds. Wouldn't information technology exist lovely if this was how you included custom content in your map? Doesn't piece of work, for whatsoever reason.

Error (finding) json file

For gmad, the directory you told the control prompt is incorrect.

Couldn't parse icon/json

There's something incorrect with your json file. Ensure its correct, I suppose?
If you cant parse the icon, I honestly forgot why it happens simply like you ♥♥♥♥♥ upwardly the flick make sure its 512x512 pixels and like its non png or something

Don't have permission to update your addon or some ♥♥♥♥♥.

Incorrect ID number in the command, or not logged into steam.

Fault opening addon (does this file be?)

Wrong file path in the command line to the .gma file.
