Welcome to the Multi Theft Auto: San Andreas Deathmatch developer wiki. On this wiki you'll find a wealth of information on developing gamemodes and maps for Multi Theft Auto.

We're making developer previews available because we need your help! There's many things you can do to help us get a finished, polished release of MTA:SA DM out - create a map, a gamemode, help document scripting functions, write example code, write tutorials or just play MTA and report the bugs you find on the forums.

This release is a Big Thing for us - it's the first release of almost two years of our work and we can't wait to see see what you do with it. Please bear with us as the inevitable issues occur and remember that things aren't quite finished yet!

If you have any questions or problems related to scripting, feel free to get in touch with us on our IRC Channel.

The wiki now supports Google Gears, which allows you to view the wiki offline (and fast). Just install Google Gears and click the Go Offline link at the bottom of any page. Be prepared to wait up to an hour(!) as it downloads, it will notify you at the bottom (next to the Go offline link) when it's done. Once you've done that, use your browser's 'Work offline' option (file menu usually), or just disconnect your internet and browse the wiki as normal.

Latest available version of Multi Theft Auto: San Andreas Deathmatch is 1.6.0. Visit the download page and grab it.
