Het spel Multi Theft Auto is een opensource add-on voor Rockstars Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, waarmee het mogelijk wordt om online tegen elkaar te spelen. De server voor het bij elkaar brengen van de verschillende spelers draait op zowel Windows als Linux. Voor een overzicht van screenshots en diverse video's verwijzen we jullie door naar de media gallery van MTA. De ontwikkelaars hebben Multi Theft Auto: San Andreas 1.0.2 uitgebracht voorzien van de volgende beknopte aankondiging:
Point release v1.0.2 and upcoming projects
The next point release for our best mod to date is out: Multi Theft Auto: San Andreas 1.0.2.
One of our developers, ccw, did a tremendous job with resolving the most frequent problems and bugs from earlier releases. Major changes are fixes for a number of occasional crashes and assertions plus some improvements for our race gamemode, as part of the multitheftauto-resources project.
This release is of course fully compatible with the servers running on older versions (1.0 / 1.0.1), so there should be no problems with compatibility once you upgrade. Precompiled servers for Linux should be available shortly on http://linux.mtasa.com and/or our GitHub download page.
As always, the full list of changes can be found in the Changelog on our repository.

It's worth noting that several interesting Multi Theft Auto related projects have been started by some of our fellow developers, since the decision was made to open-source our project (and allow more insight for everyone) a while ago.
One such project is the MTA Script Editor (MTASE), a development environment/editor for Multi Theft Auto resources that is being created by a group of dedicated developers.
The software incorporates some nice features such as a Lua and XML syntax checker and highlighter, resource management, extensive support for testing, and is a future candidate for an official IDE that may be distributed with Multi Theft Auto.
Additional information on MTASE, as well as it's latest alpha version 0.2.6 can be found on the MTASE Wiki page and Forum topic.
