Gmpublish.exe create -icon C:Users/user/Desktop/addon_image.jpg -addon C:Users/user/Desktop/gmodaddon.gma So you are still in the bin folder of your gmod installation where gmad.exe was, but this time you will run gmpublish.exe to upload your gmodaddon.gma file: So you have at hand your gmodaddon.gma (your addons) and your image. The image for the workshop in jpg format and with dimensions of 512x512 we will name it addon_image.jpg in this example. You need an image for your addon on the workshop: If you have this gma under the elbow to publish it you can go to the next step.īeware it doesn't work if you forget to put the addon.json file inside.

Gmad.exe create -folder C:Users/user/Desktop/gmodaddon In this example my addon folder is on my desktop:Īnd we're going to run gmad.exe and point to the folder gmodaddon to compress it to.
