Multi Theft Auto v1.0.3 is out

This important update addresses a variety of high priority gameplay and network issues. Since most of the fixes for these issues took place in the server software, clients that are playing on older servers may still be affected. Therefore, if you're running any v1.0.x servers, we strongly advise you to upgrade for the benefit of your players.

MTA:SA progress update video

This video outlines some of the new flashy features of Multi Theft Auto San Andreas 1.0.

MTA:SA status update

A bunch of new developers have contributed to the project, either by submitting patches for fixing bugs (like fog flicker fix for users with ATI graphics cards or compatibility fixes for the linux server) or by adding new features (different skins now have their own voices, rather than all having CJ ones; initial joystick support - we will write more about this one in our next status update), all of which are certainly a benefit to the project.

Also, lil_Toady has recently introduced initial support for loading and using custom sounds in MTASA. It is currently compatible with a wide variety of formats including MP3, WAV, OGG, RIFF, MOD, XM, IT and S3M. Along with already available custom map and model support, this will allow you to further customize the game by making it possible to add your own sounds or music to your maps and gamemodes.

Project Andreas Reloaded 0.1b released

This is another multiplayer mod for San Andreas. It's written in Visual Basic. I haven't tested this and I don't expect it to be anywhere as good as MTA:SA or SA:MP.

Pixels^:

0.1b has been released with some vital bugfixes. Without these fixes, you won't get proper sync and may encounter chat bugs. Both the server and client have been fixed.

Multi Theft Auto goes open source

The MTA team have released most of the source code for their San Andreas PC multiplayer addon.

Quotes copied from their site:

Formerly a closed-source project, we have migrated to open-source to encourage other developers to contribute as well as showing insight into our project's source code and design for educational reasons.

All our source code available through this project page is licensed under the GPLv3 license. This excludes any dependencies and our net modules for both the client and server: these are still covered under our proprietary license. These modules have been excluded because of reasons involving security and cheating, but contain only a minimal amount of code.

MTA source is managed via google code
