Multi Theft Auto: San Andreas Deathmatch mod for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

Multi Theft Auto (MTA) is a multiplayer modification for Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto game series: a piece of software that adapts the game in such a way, you can play Grand Theft Auto with your friends online and develop your own gamemodes.

It was brought into life because of the lacking multiplayer functionality in the Grand Theft Auto series of games, and provides a completely new platform on-top of the original game, allowing for players to play all sorts and types of game-modes anywhere they want, and developers to develop using our very powerful scripting engine.

Multi Theft Auto was written entirely from scratch and is actively developed and maintained by voluntary people and contributors, mostly from Europe and North-America, that are experienced in various areas of game design, programming and reverse engineering.

Our project is different than your average modification in the way it actually modifies the game: this is not done through the game's scripting interface or any of it's files as you may expect. Instead, our modification uses carefully reverse engineered methods and interfaces that were originally utilized for the game's internal use only, thus allowing our application to become a part of the game itself.

Apart from providing the multiplayer functionality, we also provide a very powerful Lua scripting engine, that allows every developer to create and play with their own scripts. This scripting engine allows everyone to participate in creating scripts ranging as versatile as role-playing gamemodes to complete administration tools that can be used on any server.
