Addon Compatibility

This page documents the optional compatibility libraries bundled with Lilia. These libraries greatly expand support for a variety of popular addons used across the Garry's Mod community.

Overview

The compatibility system provides a comprehensive integration framework for popular Garry's Mod addons, serving as the essential bridge infrastructure that enables seamless functionality between Lilia and third-party content without requiring manual configuration or code modifications. This system handles sophisticated addon detection with automatic identification of installed addons, version compatibility checking, and feature mapping that ensures optimal integration while maintaining stability across different addon combinations. The compatibility layer features advanced conflict resolution with intelligent override management, priority-based loading systems, and graceful fallback mechanisms that prevent addon conflicts and ensure smooth operation even when multiple addons provide similar functionality. It includes comprehensive API bridging with automatic function mapping, event translation, and data synchronization that allows Lilia to communicate effectively with addon systems while maintaining the framework's core architecture and design principles. The system provides robust error handling with detailed logging, compatibility warnings, and automatic disable mechanisms that protect server stability when incompatible addons are detected. Additional features include integration with Steam Workshop's dependency system, automatic update compatibility checking, and performance optimization for complex addon combinations, making it essential for maintaining a stable and feature-rich Lilia server environment that leverages the full potential of the Garry's Mod addon ecosystem while preserving framework integrity and performance.
