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.

There's many things you can do to help us improve MTA - 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.

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.
