This is a complete guide to uploading your Garry's Mod Map (probably).

A common issue that may occur is the GMPT "File list verification failed" error. This may happen if your files aren't exactly how I showed them such as the map thumbnail not being the correct format or resolution, GMPT shows a list of files in the "looking in folder" so use that to your advantage.

Also as a commenter pointed out, if you are using any of the chromium branches for Garry's Mod, bspzip will not be in the game files for whatever reason so make sure you opt out of any beta branches and it should show up.

I will try to answer any questions in the comments but make sure your question hasn't already been asked before you post.


PROGRAMS YOU WILL NEED:

BSPZIPGUI: https://gamebanana.com/tools/6805

GIMP: https://www.gimp.org/downloads/
you don't necessarily need gimp but any image editor that allows you to scale will work like photoshop or paint .net  

GMPT: https://sourceforge.net/projects/garrysmodpublishtool/

You will need the java runtime to open GMPT which you can get here: https://openjdk.org/

Crowbar: https://github.com/ZeqMacaw/Crowbar/releases

It might be redundant to use crowbar for uploading since GMPT can do it as well its just that crowbar allows you to do more when uploading and has other uses for source modding.
