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.

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

Project Andreas Reloaded Interview

This is yet another multiplayer mod for the PC version of GTA: San Andreas. It is currently in development.

Here is an interview with the mod coder: Pixels^.

MTA:SA progress update

It's been a while since we really provided a "real" progress update, so we're taking the opportunity to tell everyone about what's been happening under the hood.

The last public beta proved to be very useful, and this has resulted in many new changes and fixes.

As always, a number of crashes have been fixed which should make DM feel more stable. Vehicle interpolation has been tweaked which should make it more efficient, resulting in an increase in FPS. There have also been other changes to areas such as the streamer, which also impact the overall FPS positively. We're hoping that issues of FPS should be reduced for the next public beta.

Occurrences of "sliding" (a form of desync) have also been further reduced, which should also be evident in the next test. One very notable fix worth mentioning is that players can finally shoot players who are inside vehicles. This is something that was supposed to make DP1 but was removed at the last minute. This has finally made it and is worth testing for the next public beta.

MTA: San Andreas Race v1.1.2 released

Following the recent imminent shutdown of the All-Seeing Eye server browser, and the ongoing popularity of the Multi Theft Auto: San Andreas Race, we have decided to release an update to allow its players to continue playing, although we strongly recommend anyone to upgrade to the more recent Deathmatch releases due to their significantly extended functionality and active development.

The new release with version number v1.1.2 can be downloaded via the Race download page and contains the following notable changes:

* All-Seeing Eye server-browser has been removed in favour of a more reliable and faster replacement
* Removed redundant "MTA Center" references
* Removed support for built-in error reporter

We encourage people to provide us with any feedback or problems with the update (e.g. through our IRC channel).

The upcoming Developer Preview 3 release of Deathmatch will also include the server browser replacement among some other features and fixes and will be released shortly after.

Update: If you're having errors about missing d3dx9_33.dll, download it from here and extract it to your GTA directory. Alternatively, download the latest DirectX updates by using this installer.
