Problem with GMOD Publishing Utility - General Discussion

Hi. I'm creating a gamemode and I wanted to upload it just for me and my friends to test it, so I downloaded GMOD Publishing Utility, but when I try to compile it into .gma it gives an error for every file I have: Executing queue. Creating addon from C:\Users\giorg\Desktop\stalkers... Creating temporary addon.json. Creating temporary gma.

Finished running queue. Refreshing addon list. Retreving list of Addons. Retrieval Finished! It might be a problem related to my gamemode folder structure, but it seems to have worked so far so idk. But here it is anyway garrysmod/gamemodes/stalkers ...... Everything. In this folder there is the .txt file that the gamemode needs garrysmod/gamemodes/stalkers/images ...... All .png images garrysmod/gamemodes/stalkers/content/sound ... Music & sounds garrysmod/gamemodes/stalkers/gamemode .... All lua files, including cl_init, init and shared

Please visit this guide which explains everything you need to know: Workshop Addon Creation

Thanks, helped me a lot, it now accepts all files but I still have a problem. In the gamemode files I have a folder full of .png images that I absolutely need. I have them in a "resource" folder, but the program doesn't accept it. Where should I put them?

materials where they belong?

What does that mean? I just use surface.DrawTexturedRect

What do you mean "what does that mean?" You asked a question, I answered it. Where you should put .png files that you draw on screen? Into the materials/ folder where they belong.

Ok it works now, but if I want to have the functions provided by the gamemode.txt file that the program doens't accept what do I do?

What

Since it doesn't accept the gamemode.txt file that is required to add the settings to the gamemode( the ones that show on the right when you're about to create a match ), how can I add those?

Extract any workshop gamemode, it most definitely accept the gamemodes/<gamemode>/<gamemode>.txt

No it doesn't. I've called it stalkers.txt just like the gamemode folder name and it doesn't accept it.

You are doing something wrong. post a picture where the file is and how it "doesnt accept it"

Please revisit the page I linked you, it should explain perfectly what the addon file structure should be.

Ok, I've put the .txt file in gamemodes/stalkers/gamemodes/stalkers and it works now. But when I start the gamemode the game crashes and an error pops up: Error loading gamemode can't find/load "gamemodes/stalkers/gamemode/init.lua"

.... Your addon must mimic the file structure of the game, the way your files were when you made the gamemodes, how is that not obvious????????

I'm new to lua. So what should I do?

This has nothing to do with Lua. I have already told you many times what you should do. All you need to do is apply your head and logic and do what the article tells you. If I make an example addon will that help you?

A lot, thanks.

Fixed the problem by myself, just needed to take a better look at the page. Thanks for the help.
