MTA 0.5
| Multi Theft Auto 0.5 |
 |
| Status: Stable |
| Released: January 31, 2005 |
| Core: 0.3 |
| License: Freeware |
The latest stable release for GTA III and GTA: Vice City bundled in one client and server. This release was also the first version that had a server browser build in the client.
Gamemodes
| GTA | Gamemode Name | Uses Spawnscreen |
|---|---|---|
| GTA: Vice City | Deathmatch | Yes |
| Stunt | Yes | |
| GTA III | Portland | No |
| Shoreside Vale | Yes | |
| Staunton | No |
Features
- Huge increase in stability. Using the errors reported to us using the Error Report Tool, we've managed to fix a large number of the common crashes.
- New Staunton Island map available for GTA3, which includes a race mode and deathmatch.
- New Shoreside Vale map available for GTA3, which includes several gamemodes.
- Lots of changes to the existing maps.
- A server browser has been added to the client along with an area to store your favourites and a list of servers you've played on recently (History).
- New Client design - The client has been redesigned to make it easier to use. Error messages are now more self explanatory and checks are added to help users ensure their game is set up correctly.
- Added an in-client server that allows you to quickly configure and host a server straight from the MTA Client.
- Integrated the MTA Protocol handler - now mta:// links will work for all MTA 0.5 users.
- Redesigned MTA Admin Tool to make it easier and more logical to use.
- In client global MOTD so that you can hear about news from MTA immediately.
- A rich text welcome message that the server can show to players when they join. This can contain much more information than the normal Message of the Day and is visible in the client the entire time the user is on the server.
- New installation and configuration scripts for easy setup for Linux dedicated servers.
- More platforms supported for the dedicated server, including FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
- Improved error report tool is now installed by default (though optionally).
- Chat box in the client now scrolls properly, as most chat programs do (scroll up to stop auto-scroll).
Minor Updates
A server patch was released since the Message of The Day feature could be exploited. Patch 1
Members of the MTA community released a minor update called 0.5r2 for 0.5, this also includes a new (external) server browser, the included server browser in 0.5 client is non-functional since 2008.

MTA:San Andreas Race
| Multi Theft Auto: San Andreas Race |
 |
| Status: Unsupported/Obsolete |
| Latest Release: May 18, 2008 |
| Core: Blue |
| License: Freeware |
MTA:SA Race is the first release that was made with the blue framework, a new approach to control the game (GTA). The sync was also better over the previous releases and the client is in game not an external application. Notice the blue GUI in the screenshot.
A new slogan was introduced: "Stop Playing With Yourself."
Gamemodes
As the name suggests it is only race (you cannot get out of your vehicle).
| Gamemode | Notes |
|---|---|
| Race | |
| Freeroam | |
| Destruction Derby | The goal is to survive, last player that is still alive wins. |
Features
- In game client.
- Map Editor to create a map in game.
- Optimised netcode results in reduced lag.
- Blue loads a DLL with the game instead of injecting code into its memory process. This improves stability and means that custom SCM files do not have to be moved to the game's directory when it is started.
- Full integration means that Blue's server list is directly integrated into GTA's GUI.
- Fewer glitches. This is achieved by synchronizing every animation, implementing a custom pause menu so that people can't pause to escape death, and forcing the frame limiter on so that everyone's game runs at the same maximum speed.
- Greater synchronization, this means that MTA players can finally use boats.
- Anti cheat.
