Issue with Gmad.exe (Couldn't Parse .json)

[MarredHen]

Greetings~

I'll be quick, I'm making a garry's mod TTT map. I've compiled it, works fine, now I'm trying to publish it on Gmod so I can playtest it.

Issue is, the publishing tool for it is ancient and the tutorials are bags of dicks.

Here's the issue.

I've tried to drag and drop the thing, but it doesn't work.

I went to the CMD

I had trouble getting the command right, but then I did

gmad.exe create -folder "C:\Users\Owl\Desktop\Upload" -out "C:\Users\Owl\Desktop\myaddon.gma"

The problem is it can't parse json.

I made the json file by taking a txt file, and using cmd to make it into a json using the command

```ren addon.json.txt addon.json```

This is the structure of the file.

This is the json file:

{
"title" : "ttt elephant",
"type" : "map",
"tags" : [ "fun" ],
"ignore" : [
"*.psd",
"*.vcproj",
"*.svn*"
]
}

Can somebody help me with this? What am I doing wrong.

Workshop Addon Creation addon.txt must be in addon

What is addon.txt, where is it and what is inside of it exactly?

What to do for the fact that is says that it can't parse Json? I validated the json file through a validator and it said it was fine.
