Installation

Step-by-step guide to setting up and configuring the Lilia framework for your Garry's Mod server.


Overview

Lilia is a modern roleplay framework designed for performance, modularity, and ease of use. Installing the framework involves setting up the core workshop content, choosing a schema, and configuring initial administrative access.

This guide covers the standard setup process to get your server joinable and ready for customization.


1. Install Lilia Core (Workshop)

Lilia's asset package must be subscribed to on the Steam Workshop for clients to download required materials and textures.

2. Install a Schema

Lilia requires a schema (a gamemode built on the framework) to operate. We recommend the Skeleton Schema for new projects.

  1. Download Skeleton Schema
  2. Extract the ZIP and place the skeleton folder into garrysmod/gamemodes/.
  3. Update your server startup command: +gamemode skeleton

3. Administrative Setup

Configure yourself as the owner to access in-game menus and configuration tools.

Run the following in your server console:

plysetgroup "YOUR_STEAMID" "superadmin"

Lilia is also fully compatible with external admin mods like SAM, ULX, and ServerGuard.
