Beginner Help - Gamemode not showing up in main menu

[sincity]

Hi everyone,

I apologize for the beginner question. I've spent the last few days browsing through the outdated + updated documentation for Garrys Mod. I've searched numerous posts online (from 2010, to 2012, to 2015) about setting up your own game mode. I still can't seem to get my game mode appearing in the main menu screen.

Here is my project layout:

garrysmod
    gamemodes
        makersparty
            makersparty.txt
            backgrounds
            entities
            gamemode
                cl_init.lua
                init.lua
                shared.lua

I've searched these forums for similar problems and the most recent post was back in 2014. Has much changed since then?

I feel like I'm missing something very obvious and if someone could guide me I would very much appreciate it!

Thank you for any help.

Wow. I am an idiot. I looked back at the documentation ([url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Gamemode_Creation[/url]) and I see that the [B]menusystem[/B] key represents selecting the game mode from the main menu.

I thought it meant it allowed the use of the 'Q' prop menu.

Sorry for the trouble, guys. Thank you for the help.
