In my case, if the path end with \
it still detects files in the folder, it still able to publish/update the addon,
but the "gmpublisher.gma" it generated will be corrupted,
it still uploads .gma,
servers can also grab the addon normally,
but server won't load the addon as the .gma was corrupted.

needs a path check or auto replace/trim I suppose,
spent many hours to figure out

There's no entity tag when publishing / updating an addon.

Add a setting that enables/disables auto-downloading of addons/collections when you insert a link to them

New to gmpublisher, might be a a way to do it and I just don't know of it but.

Writing a nodeJS app to mass extract all GMA's by opening the GMA, when the extraction is complete, the folder opens.

So anyways, around 300 folders were opened and it nearly killed my rig.

Is there a way to stop the folder from opening post-extraction?

Example of addon that fails: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=264864627

addon downloaded with steamworkshopdownloader

this is in maps/

Make the image smaller instead to make sure the upload button always shows

Whenever it finishes uploading it opens what I assume is supposed to be the webpage, but I get redirected to the steam community error processing your request page, making me think that the addon page was not created. Can anyone help me with this?

Every time I want to upload an Addon it says "Steam Error: a generic failure from the steamworks API

"

repro steps:

1. open app
2. click Addon Size Analyzer
3. can't do anything

as mentioned elsewhere IDK if there's a modern windows API feature i've disabled that prohibits this from functioning, but literally dragging a URL from either chrome's urlbar, a line of text from a text file which happens to be a url, a hyperlink (which typically successfully drags into np++ as just the url), or a link from steam do not actually do anything on the application:

no part of the screen functions as a valid drag target regardless of the location or the cursor

I just tried to use this awesome new tool but it seems to be not usable if steam isn't installed in the default path. It looks like this:

The console looks like this:

Is there any way to configure the path to the steam folder? I even tried to create a symbolic link of the steam folder to the default C directory. But it doesn't change anything

Seems like files within: gamemodes/the_gamemode_name/backgrounds/file_name.jpg is not allowed. This is actually allowed, and is used to show custom background pictures for a gamemode that is looping.

Addon size analyzer seems to just freeze the application, not allowing you to change tabs but hover color changes and such still work and the application still responds.

On the "Installed Addons" tab, right-clicking an addon and clicking "Open Addon Location" results in xdg-open: unexpected option '--select'

xdg-open --version
xdg-open 1.1.3+

There is no such thing as --select, running xdg-open with the file path as the argument is enough.

i opened gmod, then gmpublisher, but i crashed gmod testing shit, yet steam still reported gmod as still running:

hitting the "STOP" button in steam kills the webview children but gmpublisher remains running:

other processes push it offscreen but the button reverts the moment the task is killed

a little inconvenient

Hello, I deleted the old application to download the new update, and now it won't open. I have WebView 2

I am not really sure which features the CLI already has, I saw ffbafd4 and d19ef32 added some but I was not able to find any documentation on this, so it would be great to have a bit of information as a GitHub repository wiki page or inside the readme.

In addition to that, parameters for the CLI which allow you to log-in using Steam credentials and update an addon would be amazing, if this would exist you could automate workshop deployments using GitHub actions / workflows or use it on a Linux server in general. In case this is not possible, it would be great to have a documented way on how to use it in combination with steamcmd or something similar on Linux in case that is even possible.

This isn't exactly a bug or so. I love using this program to publish/update my addons.

One problem however, the red outline on things that have errored for example when the file structure of a folder is wrong or when there is a file that isn't added to ignore list, is hard to see for me because I'm colorblind (mainly red and slightly green).

I was wondering if there could be a possibility for users or maybe for you to make an alternate color scheme that swaps reds for a more noticeable color?

Hi, I want to download 176 addons from the workshop - but it looks like there is a limit in the gpublisher.
When I paste 176 ids separated by commas in entry, it just stroke the input field in red.
What is the limit and why is it limited?

Also, it would be great to add a button to pack all downloaded addons into a zip archive.

when i install gm pubisher says this: There is a problem with this Windows installer package.
A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Please help me

Hi, when pressing the "Publish!" button, the program displays a green "publish addon" (or something similar) popup, quickly followed by a red popup saying "Unknown error", again followed by the program crashing.

Looking at my workshop items, the program seems to have uploaded an empty addon.

Relevant screenshots below.

Hi, upon pressing the button to upload a new icon the program does nothing if a local addon directory is not set.

I added materials/* and lua/* in the ignored files. it seemed because lua and materials were no longer displayed. The total size and number of files matched just the files in models. Yet the materials folder and lua have been published. I had to copy the models folder and put it in another directory to publish my addon.

Hey
I happened to notice that every time I start gmpublisher, Steam says I'm playing Garry's Mod. It's not really a problem, but it could cause confusion.
I don't know if this can be fixed at all.

publishing process dies instantly

settings.json.txt
gmpublisher.output.txt
gmpublisher.error.txt

edit: also i would figure you'd have .vs/* in the default ignores

There is currently no way to tell on how to use this, please add one.

Your antivirus may be interfering

Do try disabling your antivirus just to see if the program works. Since the program hasn't been created by some big dick corporation they will likely automatically nope it.

The best antivirus is yourself

File started uploading and cut out about 1/2 way into the upload google chrome opened a page that the upload failed but gmpublish continued uploading in the background after the upload was done this showed up

Native linux tool like this with L4D2 workshop support would be nice. Current solutions are either Authoring Tools (slow, buggy, abandoned) or Crowbar (buggy)

I just downloaded Gmpublisher on Debian tried to run it as root. Does anyone know any possible solutions?

Everytime I hit publish it loads everything but then gives me the Error "A Generic Failure from the Steam Works API."

• • Any Fix?

literally #11.

the problem is though, none of the solutions in that issue actually work for me- the program opens for a 25th of a second maybe, and then it closes before the UI has even loaded. just a blip and it's gone like I never even opened it.

I'm on windows 10.

I've installed the c++ redistributable.
I've installed the Microsoft edge webview2 package.
My antivirus is not a stupid free one that flags everything on the computer for no reason (but I turned it off temporarily anyways).

Are there any other ways I can attempt to self-fix this so I don't have to pester you about a bug that seemingly nobody else even experiences? I get that its probably annoying for me to create this issue, but since the comments are locked on #11, I don't have another way to ask.

./gmpublisher_2.7.1_linux64: error while loading shared libraries: libsteam_api.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

When i select a file or folder, it crashes.
when i click "Select files", it crash instantly

Please add a "delete addon" button in the context menu.

The tab with installed add-ons looks exactly the same as WinDirsSat

it is so sad that there is no way to delete addons - this would be a very useful feature.

1. wrong tooltip https://i.imgur.com/z0du49H.png it happens when you switch between addons
2. it removes addons due to a bug with the Internet connection, I already told you about this in gmod discord.
3. i cant update thumbnail only. why do I need to select addon folder if I want to update only thumbnail? Please fix it if possible. although steam workshop api probably does not have such an opportunity.
