Both the server hosting the game, as well as the client playing the game are capable of running and synchronizing Lua scripts. The gameplay can be heavily extended through the use of the Lua scripting language that has been embedded in the client and server software. Gameplay contentīy default, Multi Theft Auto provides the minimal sandbox style gameplay of Grand Theft Auto. The game is then heavily extended by providing new game functionality (including tweaks and crash fixes) as well as a completely new graphical interface, networking and scripting component. Since the class design of our game framework is based upon Grand Theft Auto's design, we are able to insert our code into the original game. Multi Theft Auto is built upon the "Blue" concept that implements a game engine framework. Our software provides a minimal sandbox style gameplay that can be extended through the Lua scripting language in many ways, allowing servers to run custom created game modes with custom content for up to hundreds of online players.įormerly a closed-source project, we have migrated to open-source to encourage other developers to contribute as well as showing insight into our project's source code and design for educational reasons. Originally founded back in early 2003 as an experimental piece of C/C++ software, Multi Theft Auto has since grown into an advanced multiplayer platform for gamers and third-party developers. The software functions as a game engine that installs itself as an extension of the original game, adding core functionality such as networking and GUI rendering while exposing the original game's engine functionality through a scripting language.
Multi Theft Auto is based on code injection and hooking techniques whereby the game is manipulated without altering any original files supplied with the game. It is a unique modification that incorporates an extendable network play element into a proprietary commercial single-player PC game. Multi Theft Auto (MTA) is a software project that adds network play functionality to Rockstar North's Grand Theft Auto game series, in which this functionality is not originally found.
