Our next major version, Multi Theft Auto: San Andreas 1.3 has been in the RC stage for over two weeks, and today we are ready to announce its stable release.

Major highlights of this release:

  - fixes for various network problems which occured in 1.1 and 1.2 series (including a fix for "Map download breaking often on large transfers" issue)
  - added new scripting functions for removal of default GTASA map objects (including breakable ones)
  - introduced a new scripting event - onClientVehicleCollision
  - implemented a new scripting function - takePlayerScreenShot
  - fixes for various crashes and issues (including "warp glitch", inaccurate heat seekers sync, createProjectile() velocity desync between clients, custom models texture crash, "white models" when using custom models and more)
  - added functionality to protect client-side scripts which pre-compiles them before being sent and stops resources from being saved on disk. This is configurable in the resource's meta.xml.
  - added pixel manipulation functionality
  - introduced new client-side scripting functions - setBirdsEnabled and getBirdsEnabled

As usual, you can download it from our main page. Updated Linux server files are also available.

Take care.

After our long presence on ModDB, today is the day we all have been waiting for. We are really proud to announce that we have ranked no. 1 in Player's Choice category in this year's ModDB Mod of the Year Awards! We would like to thank you all, our dear players and contributors, for your continued support. This would have never happened without it.

It is worth to note that we are the first GTA mod to ever win such an award. We hope that this will bring a bigger attention to GTA modding as a whole, as there are still a lot of fresh and amazing things that can be achieved here.

In other news, one of our developers, Cazomino05, has been experimenting with adding support for removing default objects from the GTASA map since the last release. This had led to the introduction of a few new scripting functions. These functions are: removeWorldBuilding, restoreWorldBuilding and restoreWorldBuildings, and they will be available in the upcoming MTA:SA 1.3.

You can see example screenshots below:



First screenshot shows the object that will be removed, and the next two show the Fire Depot, which was placed in the free spot.

It will probably be a while before we can release 1.3, but you can test these functions today by installing a 1.3 nightly build.

As an ending note, we wish you all Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!
