Multi Theft Auto (MTA) is an open-source software project that adds full on-line gaming support to Rockstar North's Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas PC game, in which this functionality is not originally found. It is the first open-source modification that adds a highly customizable network play element to a commercial closed-source single-player PC game.

Developed as an experimental piece of software for earlier Grand Theft Auto series, Multi Theft Auto has become an advanced multiplayer platform for gamers and developers. Our software provides on-line gaming for dozens of players running user-generated gameplay content and scripts through a Lua virtual machine, and is freely distributed under the GPLv3 license.

For more information, see our Wikipedia page or GitHub source code repository.

Some tips for MTA SA 1.0

Removing lag
1. Open the "coreconfig.xml" in "MTA San Andreas\MTA"
2. Edit the line "<fps_limit>100</fps_limit>"
3. Change the number to 25 or 30 (this is the default in samp)

OR

Connect to a server and type in f8 "fps_limit 30".

You can change it in the main menu under settings->chatbox

Yeah. Too bad that sa-mp doesn't offer nightly builds.
 
Re: MTA SA 1.0 finally there!

Hmm yeah, but that will make it even more awesome when it releases. (imo)
 
Re: MTA SA 1.0 finally there!

The thing I like the best about 1.0 is the map editor (LoL)
You can make very nice loops and rollercoasters with it with some nice plug ins
 
Re: MTA SA (1.0.1 released!)

The mta development team is proud to present Multi Theft Auto: San Andreas 1.0.1

Changes from v 1.0 to v1.0.1
  • focused on fixing some high priority client and server crashes
  • resolving compatibility issues and improving cross-platform compatibility (especially Max OS X) for the dedicated server
  • fixing some various major bugs within the client and resources package

Notes:
MTA 1.0 and 1.0.1 are compatible, this means that you can connect to a MTA 1.0 server with a 1.0.1 client.

not that many as far as I know since most don't know about it.
But the top servers are always full and there aren't that many the same servers as with SAMP

I wanted to inform TMS about the new things done since the last post in this thread:

1.MTA 1.0.2 and 1.0.3 released. They include important fixes to make MTA more stable than any other GTA SA Multiplayer Mod and some smaller features. (More important to developers)
2.ModDB MoftY Awards 2009:

Now you have the chance to make MTA more popular. The ModDB "MOD OF THE YEAR 2009 Awards" started again. You just have to go to the link and click on the "Vote" image. If MTA gets more popular, more developers are intestered in creating new servers then and they are more motivated with more players. At the moment most of the server in MTA are boring freeroam or DM servers (with MTA´s default DM/freeroam script. The default script is great, but its overused, so it is getting very boring.) without objectives. Thats the ONLY harm in MTA for the players. This needs to change, because MTA has the potential to have EPIC servers with features, which are lacking in SA-MP.

(You can also vote for SA-MP or any other mod, even modifications of other games, if you want...)

Edit:[/media] There were too many typos
 
Well there comes the main difference between SA-MP and MTA.

Leaving all that open-source and "community-developed", also update frequency and all behind... MTA is much better. SA-MP has just received much publicity.
 
^ Couldn't agree more.

If MTA had more players then SA-MP, SFSFv2 would probably be on MTA now.

OT: Nice updates MTA has there, although I won't vote for them.
 
I also agree to your opinions and its nice to see that you are seeing the facts. But if everyone is thinking in this way (like currently), you can say good-bye to MTA.
That's bad luck for MTA. :mellow:
 
Yeah that's true, well it would be cool if they got more people, I mean I'm into SA-MP, but not anti-MTA or something.
