Thanks for the tool!

Any ability to edit your pre-existing addons? I couldn't find any, but this looks like a nice tool regardless.

be careful with this cuze valve can perm ban you by uploading a addons for the workshop by third-party software

[QUOTE=PizzaDoxy;44552436]be careful with this cuze valve can perm ban you by uploading a addons for the workshop by third-party software[/QUOTE] Don't worry about that. Both this and GMosh and pretty much all other programs like this are wrappers for the official gmpublish. This means that you're always using the official gmpublish, even if you think you aren't.

[QUOTE=PizzaDoxy;44552436]be careful with this cuze valve can perm ban you by uploading a addons for the workshop by third-party software[/QUOTE] Yeah, like FPtje said, all this program really does is use gmad.exe and gmpublish.exe to upload to the workshop using some command lines. It just makes it easier than typing out batch files each time you want to upload or update an addon.

I'm getting Error after "Is this your Garry's Mod bin folder?" I click Yes then "Error Failed: Missing Files"

[QUOTE=SakuZon;44578426]I'm getting Error after "Is this your Garry's Mod bin folder?" I click Yes then "Error Failed: Missing Files"[/QUOTE] You need to select the bin file. Then it checks if gmad.exe and gmpublish.exe exist, and if they don't then that is the reason you're getting the error message.

And i get the same error when i try to upload it to Workshop.

Honestly it's faster to just use a command line.

[QUOTE=rbreslow;44629644]Honestly it's faster to just use a command line.[/QUOTE] How? This practically creates the JSON and GMA for you without writing out the command line in a bat script and creating a JSON.

The program uses txt to edit the json but forgets to delete the txt and you cannot upload the txt format to the workshop forwhich causes this error. So go to the directory/folder and you will see addon.json and addon.txt delete the txt version and try again.

Need to add the 'ServerContent' type.

I keep getting an Error: "Compiling Error #1: addon directory contains whitelisted files!" What am I missing?

[QUOTE=PlayBoyMan;47452259]I keep getting an Error: "Compiling Error #1: addon directory contains whitelisted files!" What am I missing?[/QUOTE] You're not missing any files. Your addon folder probably has a file in it that can't be compiled. Check all folders inside of your addon folder for files that are whitelisted from compiling and then try again. [QUOTE=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Workshop_Addon_Creation] info.txt or addon.txt are not needed You can only upload files that would normally be mounted by the game, except for: .dll, .exe, .htm, .html, .css and .js files are restricted .txt files are restricted too, except for vehicle scripts [/QUOTE]

It works! Thanks. :)

[QUOTE=Scarention;47451127]Fixed.[/QUOTE] Fixed a year old problem, fucking baller. OT: Nice program, if only I had stuff to upload.

I'm having another issue - I've checked the files and the directories don't have anything it can't compile (they are all LUA Files and wav), and I'm still getting the error.

[QUOTE=PlayBoyMan;47473918]I'm having another issue - I've checked the files and the directories don't have anything it can't compile (they are all LUA Files and wav), and I'm still getting the error.[/QUOTE] Which error # are you getting? If it's error #2 you'll have to send me the files you're trying to upload.

It's still error #1 It's very weird. It's nothing but LUA Files and .wav files.

Really useful thanks, saves alot of effort when updating addons

[QUOTE=PlayBoyMan;47479045]It's still error #1 It's very weird. It's nothing but LUA Files and .wav files.[/QUOTE] I'm working on an update now and it will help find the problem. Should be done with it by tomorrow. EDIT: Finished the update and is now available. Try checking the "Error Report" check box before compiling, then read the text file it generates on your desktop to see why it couldn't compile your addon.

[snip] NVM, I think I fixed the problem.

Thank you for this tool. It works great, it is what i'm using to create and upload my addons now. Although, I have a little problem. I cannot create an addon and upload it in the same step ("Create addon" + After Compiling: Update). Checking "Error report" It says #1 Missing compile information. Could it be that it doesn't know where to put the .gma file? It asks me where to put it if I select "After Compiling: Do nothing" I have the latest version, just downloaded right now. Running it as Admin.
