go into your "GarrysMod" folder. inside there should be another one called "garrysmod". Go there. After that there will be a "data" folder. And in there, there will be a folder called "mapicons". if you want them to work, go to your "maps" folder in the "garrysmod" folder. make a new folder called icon. Move all the images in there and you will be good to go!

unfortunately i can't help too much myself, but look into making symbolic links. basically linking the two folders so they're one-in-the-same. google symbolic links in Windows (assuming you're on Windows)

Does the icon folder have to be uppercase or lowercase? also if this method is now outdated what's the new solution?

i reinstalled this and deleted/made new folders for it and the map icons i make arent sent to either of the folders so im kinda ♥♥♥♥♥♥ here wtf i do

I posted a discussion post about how to automate this, it's kind of a tricky process. If you don't want to do all that, look around the comments, you need to move the icons from one folder to another within your GMOD files.
