Client on Linux Manual

Before you start

First of all, understand that having a Client working on Linux, please ensure your computer fits the requirements needed. Read the Client Manual page for further informations, or join us on IRC @ irc://irc.multitheftauto.com/mta

Requirements

The hardware requirements for Multi Theft Auto: San Andreas are the same than on windows. For software requirements, you need:

• Wine (get it on http://www.winehq.org/)
• Windows fonts to install:
  • tahoma.ttf
  • tahomabd.ttf
  • verdana.ttf

 get them on the Internet (i used http://www.fontonic.com)
 Install them in ~yourusername/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/Fonts/

Installing the game

While you downloaded MTA installer, ensure you can launch it (chmod +x) then install it when you want. I highly suggest you to install it in the .wine/dosdevices/c:/Program_Files folder. (same as GTASA).

Running the game

A double-click on the Multi Theft Auto.exe should work. If not, try in a terminal the following command: "wine Multi Theft Auto.exe" in the good directory of course. If it's not working, please have a look at the file c:/Program_Files/Multi Theft Auto/MTA/CEGUI.log, which will tell you any error you have.

Known issues

To confirm: Server browser connection doesn't work (copy the address and use the quick connect).
