Description
LuaWorkshopper is a tool for Workshop which includes .gma creation and Workshop publishing.

LuaWorkshopper was developed for simplifying addons preparation process. Program will report errors in file or print separately.

Put anywhere you want. For best experience use unprotected directories such as Desktop.

Use
For the first startup you need to set bin folder where gma.exe and gmpublish.exe are located.
Go to Garry's Mod folder location (steamapps/Garry's Mod/ or right click on GMod icon in Steam and find "Browse local files...")
Drag from folder your bin folder to LuaWorkshopper (Don't mess with steamapps/Garry's Mod/garrysmod/lua/bin or steamapps/Garry's Mod/garrysmod/bin)
Don't worry about quotation marks, program will strip them
Press enter to continue

After bin folder is set you're ready to use program
First of all you need to choose action, so no arguments accepted there (Example: gma) (Wrong: gma *you addon folder*)
LuaWorkshopper will say what you need to give and what's wrong.
For next results type help. To exit from action type "cancel". Action can be choosen after "Input:" text appearing

Known Problems
1) If you put LuaWorkshopper in protected folder, it won't be able to create config and error file.
To fix that:
Put in unprotected folder such as Desktop
or
Run LuaWorkshopper as Administrator.
2) If you ran LuaWorkshopper as Administator there will be an issue with dragging files inside program.
To fix that: Copy path in Windows Explorer and paste into program

No fix for now
