Feature Map¶

Lilia provides the systems expected from a production Garry's Mod roleplay framework: persistent characters, inventory, factions, classes, chat, vendors, administration, protection, and customization hooks. Use this page as a planning map before deciding which systems to configure, extend, or replace with schema-specific logic.

Characters¶

Multi-Character Support¶

Players can maintain multiple characters on the same server.
Each character keeps separate identity, faction, class, inventory, money, progress, and administrative history.
Servers can limit character slots globally and grant extra slots to specific players.
Players can switch characters through the Lilia interface without leaving the server.

Character Identity¶

Names, descriptions, models, factions, classes, flags, attributes, money, and playtime persist across sessions.
Factions define broad server roles such as civilian, police, medical, military, staff, or custom schema groups.
Classes define specialized roles inside a faction, such as officer, chief, medic, technician, or event role.
Character flags grant restricted access to commands, items, tools, or schema behavior.

Recognition And Persistence¶

Recognition can hide unknown character names until players are introduced.
Unknown players can appear under generic labels, which supports disguise, investigation, and relationship-focused roleplay.
Character data is saved automatically, including inventory, progress, administrative state, money, and stored fields.
Staff can review and manage character records through administrative tools.

Inventory And Items¶

Grid Inventory¶

Items occupy configurable inventory space through width and height values.
Drag-and-drop movement makes storage management visual and predictable.
Item dimensions and weight can be used to tune scarcity, logistics, and carrying capacity.
Bags and containers can add extra inventory grids when your server needs storage progression.

Item Behavior¶

Items can be used, dropped, transferred, examined, equipped, or restricted through custom logic.
Consumables can restore health, armor, stamina, or schema-specific resources.
Weapons can be represented as inventory items that equip Garry's Mod SWEPs.
Stackable items support supplies, scraps, crafting materials, currency-like objects, and resource economies.

Storage¶

Storage entities can persist world storage between restarts.
Password-protected storage supports shared access without making every player an owner.
Staff can spawn, inspect, and manage stored items when their permissions allow it.

Factions, Classes, And Attributes¶

Factions¶

Factions organize the main playable groups in a schema.
A faction can define name, description, color, models, weapons, whitelisting, limits, and default behavior.
Whitelisting controls access to sensitive groups such as staff, police, military, or restricted story roles.
Population limits help keep server balance under control during busy sessions.

Classes¶

Classes provide sub-roles inside a faction.
A class can define name, description, models, weapons, bodygroups, sub-materials, limits, and permissions.
Default classes give new faction members a stable fallback role.
Class whitelisting supports leadership positions, specialist jobs, and progression systems.

Attributes¶

Attributes track character stats such as strength, endurance, intelligence, agility, medical skill, or custom schema values.
Starting maximums and caps control character creation balance and long-term progression.
Items, commands, modules, and schema logic can read attributes to shape gameplay.

Communication¶

Chat Channels¶

In-character chat supports local speech.
Whisper and yell ranges let players control how far messages travel.
OOC chat can be enabled, disabled, and rate-limited.
Admin, event, local event, and help channels support moderation and live roleplay operations.

Chat Quality Of Life¶

Rich text formatting improves roleplay readability.
Command autocomplete helps players discover available actions.
Chat history gives players and staff context during active scenes.
Localization support keeps system messages consistent across supported languages.

Doors, Vendors, And Economy¶

Doors¶

Players can buy, sell, lock, unlock, and share owned doors.
Doors can be named and assigned to factions or classes.
Map tools let staff configure door behavior in-game.
Door data persists so map setup work survives restarts.

Vendors¶

NPC vendors can buy items, sell items, or do both.
Vendors support custom inventories, stock limits, restock behavior, faction restrictions, class restrictions, and custom dialogue.
Vendor presets let staff reuse shop configurations across maps and events.
Transaction logging helps staff audit economy activity.

Currency¶

Money is stored per character.
Currency display can be configured to match the server setting.
Staff tools can adjust money for online and offline characters when permissions allow it.

Gameplay Systems¶

Spawns¶

Spawn points can be configured for global, faction-specific, or class-specific use.
Multiple spawn points support randomized spawn selection.
Staff can place and remove spawn positions through supported in-game tools.

Movement And Interaction¶

Stamina can control sprinting and other movement-heavy actions.
Regeneration and drain behavior can be tuned to match server pacing.
Third-person support can be enabled and configured when the server wants it.
Context-sensitive interaction menus expose different actions for doors, vendors, storage, players, and entities.

Administration¶

Staff Dashboards¶

The admin tab centralizes staff workflows inside the main Lilia interface.
Staff can review online staff, players, character records, faction access, flags, permanent-kill data, tickets, and warnings.
Character management includes names, descriptions, models, money, flags, inventory, and administrative state.

Moderation¶

Warnings and support tickets provide persistent staff workflows.
Sit rooms give staff controlled spaces for handling reports.
Staff actions include kick, ban, mute, gag, jail, freeze, blind, god mode, cloak, noclip, teleport, and related moderation tools.
Administrative logging records important staff actions for later review.

World Tools¶

Item spawning helps staff test and distribute schema items.
Entity and map entity tools help diagnose setup issues and world state.
The admin stick provides quick access to player, entity, and prop management workflows.

Protection And Compatibility¶

Anti-Abuse Systems¶

Protection systems can detect suspicious behavior and alert staff.
Spawn protection, anti-prop-kill behavior, anti-prop-surf behavior, and world entity protection reduce common sandbox abuse.
Logging gives staff a trail for reviewing exploit attempts and risky addon behavior.

Addon Compatibility¶

Lilia includes compatibility behavior for common Garry's Mod addons and admin frameworks. Review Addon Compatibility before enabling high-impact addons such as admin suites, weapon bases, PAC3, duplication tools, or vehicle systems.

Interface And Customization¶

User Interface¶

Lilia provides a themed Derma interface for character selection, inventory, settings, admin tools, and notifications.
The main menu gives players access to character information, inventory, settings, and role-appropriate actions.
The scoreboard can show player, character, faction, class, staff, and context-action information.

Server Identity¶

Server owners can configure colors, fonts, logos, language, keybinds, and client options.
Localization support makes UI text and notifications translatable.
Workshop integration helps deliver required content to connecting players.

Build Faster With Generators¶

Use Generator Overview when you are ready to define schema content. Generators do not replace understanding the Lua files, but they reduce repetitive setup and keep common definitions consistent.
