GTA: United
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas mod | Released Apr 5, 2008
Grand Theft Auto: United
GTA: United is one of the biggest total conversion modifications for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas ever made. It connects Vice City and Liberty City in one game and it's major target is putting those towns next to San Andreas. Also a completely new storyline based on the one of the GTA III series will be includet.
The mod was founded on april 1st, 2006 as a Vice City to San Andreas conversion. Later on this conversion called "Vice City 2 San Andreas" was one of the most successfull Vice City conversions, so with the release of it the team informed the world about their plans of also converting Liberty City. GTA: United is the fusion of this modification. Experience and research made that mod to a milestone in the Grand Theft Auto modding scene. The team is completely german, instead of one member which is located in australia. It only consists of well known people of the german and international people of the scene. Because of it was founded and based on community work from the beginning on the downloads are exclusively only available on Gta-worldmods.de and Gtainside.com.
For example this project is the first San Andreas modification which is using a special technology which allows to mod outside of the internal boundaries of the game. A so called "Limit Adjuster" was developed in close coorperation with that mod which gave the developers the developers the possibility to use the newest technology before anyone else was able to use it and release the first version of the mod just after the Limit Adjuster was released. Also that project is connected to further researches. Many smaller things about the game were found out during the development stage.
With BETA 1.1 (released 2 years after the first announcements of "VC2SA") people for the first time got the possibility to use San Andreas elements like clothing and tuning in the old cities. But the team has not yet finished that step, so with the next versions there will be better solutions for that just like more shops, gyms, barbers and tattoo shops.
Since this modification is still in a early beta stage with some crashes and glitches. But for most of them the team is working on a solution. Also playing online is still not possible, but it is worked on a new technology for increasing the game's internal limits which make it possible to run the modification with multiplayer projects like "Mult Theft Auto" (MTA), "GTA Rumble" or "San Andreas Multiplayer" (SAMP).
Also there are 2 epic trailers for the former major release versions:

"New Ways" and mod updates
About one year ago ColdDeath started a community stunt video at VC2SA. However with the time everything came different and the video sunk under the work on the GTA:United project. But now after one year he picked up the work again, recorded replays and cutted an fantastic video. Together with some of the old stunts there finally came out a epic collab. "New Ways" is the name of this masterpiece where 27 stunters perform their best on the new territory. Watch it out on YouTube. Soon a download of the MQ version will be available at ModDB, too.
Also there are some updates about the modification. I am proud to tell you that Beta 1.2 will come some fundamentally changes. Together with Sacky (Our amazing codecrack) I worked on a new limit adjustment system. This new technology allows us to make the modification more compatible with DirectX hook modifications and other memory manipulating mods. It is unlike the old version based on an executeable patch, that manipulates the game's hex structure. Also you will not even recognize that the executeable is changed, because we also worked on a new installer. Using NSIS and the script interface of my new Limit Adjuster you have to do nothing else than follow an easy structured and understandable installer. You also have the possibility to tell the installer to make a backup of your game before you install the modification.
Also we are working on an patch that will change the User Files directory of the game to a new one, so that your savegames for San Andreas and United are stored seperately. However we have not yet fixed the savegame crash, but we are on a good way. We are completely overworking the script of the modification so that there will be less crashes and freezes. Also some map bugs will be fixed and Liberty City will have it's old flair back, because AMD already mapped around 1000 new details. Finally we are working over some old models and improving them for the new engine (Like adding rooftops to some houses without and fixing collisions).
The major advantage of the of the new systems are the possibility to play online. We are testing our modification on seceral multiplayer addons. However we successfuly tested the mod on GTA Rumble. Tests on SA:MP or Multi Theft Auto:Deathmatch were not yet successfuly, but we are still not out of ways to solve that.
We cannot say an exact day of release, although we haven't nearly finished our work to get to the target we set us for the next release, but we are on a good way and will keep you up to date.
Enjoy your hot days and vacations,
Yours GTA:United Dev-Team.

Hello! I am having a problem installing it! is there an installation text i can download?
Thanx in advance
great job ! i hope to play it very soon!
is my horn supposed to be a bike horn for all cars? and how do i complete 100%
Do you have a date for the new release of the mod ?
the incomplete (beta version) has nothing.
no missions , just hanging around the city.
don't download it right now , wait for the full version !
If you haven't anything good to say, leave it. To the point we are currently we have already worked all together several thousand hours, so if you want to telling me, that this modification, which is over 2 years in development, is boring because it's not finished and has no missions ... "no comment".
Keep it up. You making an awesome thing to the GTA Community :D
how about the balloon in the vice city to see the view around vice city, will you include it in beta 1.2??
Well, actually we are not going to convert every car, because this is just a waste of space which we have haven't got. However we are also not going to convert GTA III and VC Missions, but we are workin on an own storyline.
Please, pretty please, won't you at least give it a shot? Always thought that the first two had the better storyline.
In any case, very grateful that you're doing this.
Danke schön!!!
