Nightly builds are experimental unstable builds intended for developers or early birds that would like to test out new features and bugfixes.

For a list of changes for each revision, head over to our buildinfo page — each revision is broken down into individual commits.

Our automated build server takes care of building and deploying the latest commit.

Get nightly updates

Automatic

Users on the automatic "nightly" release stream are sent new builds at most once a day, but not every day.

Make sure you have MTA installed. This can be a regular release version.
Open MTA and navigate to "Settings -> Advanced"
Change build stream from "Default" to "Nightly"

Download the latest resources

The auto-updater does not update server resources. These components are only required if you wish to run a server or the map editor.

These resources may use features only available in nightlies. Default resources from previous versions of MTASA are outdated, and may not function.

You should pick the resource archive with the highest revision number.
You can find the latest available resources here.
The contents of the archive should be placed inside your MTA San Andreas\server\mods\deathmatch\resources directory.

These resources will update at most once every day. Ensure that you always have the latest resources package.

Manual

You can download any nightly installer from nightly.mtasa.com. Just download and run the installer. These usually update once a day at 2AM GMT.
