Hi everyone! This project is still very much alive and we have finally decided to open up our Discord to the public. Through our Discord server we are more easily able to answer to any questions you might have, listen to your suggestions and bring development updates directly to you. We will also do so through the MTA forums. You are able to join our Discord server here. (Feel free to mention me on the MTA Discord as well for any questions you might have.)

Thanks to everyone that contributed to this release! Well done!

If you can convince SA-MP to do so...

That script is compiled, unless you have the original source code you are out of luck.

Take your time, in the end this isn't your job but rather something you voluntarily work on in your free time. You don't owe anything to anyone.

Is that possible to place a Vice City map in MTA:SA?
Megadreams replied to Cholewka's topic in MTA Chat
Possible yes, easy no. -
Unfortunately MTA still seems to use Lua 5.1 (at least that's what I see in the source) so goto isn't available yet. When transpiling we also lose the ability (especially due to a lack of goto) of being able to modify the script pointer which is an ability we'll need for the Co-Op part of Sphene in the future. But, I have talked to qaisjp about this very recently and he suggested to go the route of JIT to give ourselves the benefit of both. Transpiling when most appliceable (loops for example) while being able to remain the ability of easily moving the script pointer to somewhere else in the s

We have actually considered this very recently and will test how big the performance gain would be as it would still be a significant amount of extra work to accomplish this. Although your point that this would make developing the Co-Op portion easier is quite valid as we indeed have to introduce some extra instructions ourselves for it to make any sense at all. Originally we were going to make it possible for Sphene to automatically call Lua code when it reaches certain portions in the code. Perhaps this is what we needed to finally consider all of this extra work actually worthwhile.

Unfortunately it doesn't, that is still part of the actual game logic in gta_sa.exe which we have to simulate. However some AI logic is actually stored inside main.scm, the cars in the bloodring minigame at the stadium in San Fierro are entirely controlled by it.

Well, what gives it away the most is the fact that the title says "April Fools" and that Dutchman101 has posted that it in fact is...

GTA SA nor MTA ever allowed you to tow occupied vehicles in the first place.

Sounds good, thanks! And that should be fine (hopefully).

We're indeed planning to do it within SA, the requirement for players to provide the data files themselves (excludes the assets) is a way to make said players also own these games legitimately. It would be amazing if you could indeed help us out with the maps/vehicles, we'd appreciate that a lot!
