Chapter 1: Get Started with Dlib

Dlib, as an innovative tool, offers integrated features designed to facilitate add-on development for Garry's Mod. To start working with Dlib, it's crucial to understand its key functionalities and how to use them properly.

1.1 Registering Your Add-on with Dlib

The foundational function you should familiarize yourself with is Dlib.RegisterAddon(). This function allows you to register your add-on within the Dlib library.

Syntax:

Dlib.RegisterAddon(AddonName, loadedOnStart, site, functions)

• AddonName (string): The name of your add-on.

• loadedOnStart (boolean): Determines if the add-on should be loaded at startup (true or false).

• site (string): "cl_" or "sv_" its decrase of Realms in Garry's mod .

• functions (table): An array containing the names of functions used by your add-on. This assists in cataloging and understanding the structure of your code.

Usage Example:

Dlib.RegisterAddon("MyAddon", true, "cl_", {"function1", "function2"})

Accessing Registered Add-ons: After registering your add-on with the Dlib.RegisterAddon() function, it becomes part of Dlib's debug UI. To access this UI:

1. Open the Garry's Mod console using the ~ key.

2. Type in debug-ui and hit Enter.

3. do not use command debug its creating error's becouse of scaning addons

1.2 Important Tips

• The Dlib.RegisterAddon() function should be included in a separate file, not in an autorun file. Using this function in an autorun can cause errors.

• While misusing this function might not typically lead to serious problems, note that an error might be displayed indicating the function returns nothing.
