Recommended Companion Extensions
A GLua linter, powered by FPtje's glualint.
gluadump
This extension uses the gluadump addon to extract some information (e.g. debug.getinfo data for the "View Source" buttons) from Garry's Mod and may need to periodically be updated as new features and libraries are added to Garry's Mod.
