as i said it doesnt work

[Rubat]

"Doesn't work" is never helpful. Tell us what exactly is happening, screenshots, what text is in the application, etc.

i right shift right click on my gmod bin folder i open the command prob there

i paste this in

gmad.exe create -folder "B:\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\addons\order66" -out "B:\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\addons\order66.gma"

and as i said at the start i get to the gmad and nothing happens

Make a bat script, and put pause after that command to see what is erroring.

[Rubat]

Just try dragging the folder order66 onto the gmad.exe as suggested in the guide I linked.

tryed that and they just spam and spam opening command windows

i think its because its in my internal spare hard drive

[c👌de_g🎷]

What are the contents of the folder?

[Jenssons]

[QUOTE=code_gs;48002790]What are the contents of the folder?[/QUOTE]

materials (folder)
models (folder)
sound (folder)
addon.json

[QUOTE=Jenssons;48002800]materials (folder)

addon.json[/QUOTE]

Isn't it addon.txt now?

[c👌de_g🎷]

[QUOTE=Exploderguy;48002819]Isn't it addon.txt now?[/QUOTE]

No.

[Jenssons]

[QUOTE=code_gs;48002835]No.[/QUOTE]

so any ideas?

[Rubat]

Make a picture or better a video. Hard to have any ideas when you say "nothing" happens.

[Borris_Squad]

Can some one explain what addon.json is and what's the difference between it and addon.txt?

[c👌de_g🎷]

addon.txt was for GM12 addons. It's no longer required. addon.json is for compiling workshop file information.

Thanks, but why do so many files still use .txt?

[c👌de_g🎷]

Because they follow a deprecated format.

Try replacing "B:\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\addons\order66.gma" with just "order66.gma"
The .gma file should then be located in B:\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\GarrysMod\bin
