Before you start

Before you install Multi Theft Auto: San Andreas, first make sure that there are no modifications to GTA:SA installed. These will conflict with MTA. If you would like to keep your single-player mods, you can create two installations by reinstalling San Andreas to a second folder on your hard drive.

Also, make sure that your machine is capable of running the game in single player. Note that if you are running single player on the absolute minimum requirements, you will experience slowdowns in MTA as it takes up extra processing power.

1. If you haven't already, download the MTA:SA client from the download page at mtasa.com.
2. Run the installer, for Windows Vista and 7 it is required to run this with administrator rights. (The installer will ask.)

4. You will be asked which components to install:
   • Game Client interfaces with the game and is a required component.
   • Dedicated Server enables you to host your own home-brew server.
     • Core components and Game module are required components for the dedicated server.
     • Core resources required resources for dedicated server.
     • Optional resources additional resources for your dedicated server, gamemodes and maps.
     • Editor is used to create new maps, this is an optional component.
   • Development development tools.

   • Start menu group creates a start menu group for the installed components.
   • Desktop icon creates a desktop icon for the client.
5. You are then asked for a folder in which to install the mod. This can by anywhere and doesn't have to be in you San Andreas directory.
6. Next, you will be asked for the directory where you have San Andreas installed. The default location is: C:Program FilesRockstar GamesGTA San Andreas.
7. When the installation completes, you will be given the option to start MTA: San Andreas straight away. Choose your option and then press Finish.
8. You will be able to launch MTA San Andreas from your Start Menu if you wish to play.

Running the game

1. Start Multi Theft Auto by clicking the icon located in your Start Menu under MTA:San Andreas.
2. GTA: San Andreas will start and once it is loaded, you will be presented with the MTA:SA main menu. Here you will find several options (you could also watch a how-to tutorial here):

The easiest way to play the game is to click Browse Servers on the menu. If servers have not appeared already, press the Refresh button and MTA will scan for servers, displaying them as a list.

• Under the Name tab, each server's name is displayed.
• Under the Players tab, the number of players and the maximum capacity of the server is displayed, in the format of [Used Slots] / [Maximum Slots].
• The Ping tab displays the ping, or latency, between your machine and the server. Ping is a measure of the time it takes for 'packets' of data to be received back from the server after sending them, so a higher ping means that you will experience more lag on that particular server. Generally, servers closest to your location should have the lowest pings.
• The Host is the IP address of the server. You can use this address in future to connect to the same server via the Quick Connect option on the main menu.

Each tab can be clicked to arrange the respective column in ascending or descending order.

For optimal performance and gameplay, look for the best balance between players and ping.

Once you have picked a server, select it and click the Connect button in the top right-hand corner of the dialog. If all goes well, you should connect to the server and automatically join the game.

How to Play

MTA:SA offers a comprehensive scripting system that allows map creators to customize many elements of the game in order to create their own innovative game modes. The game incorporates as many single player elements as possible but some aspects are different.

The only other people on the map are your opponents, or allies if it is a team game. You can talk with them using the chatbox located in the left-hand corner of the screen by pressing T. To chat only to your team members, press Y.

MTA's map editor allows map creators to add various GTA objects to their maps including roads, exploding barrels, ramps, buildings, hills and more. Not only this, but the objects can be scripted to move, change model and disappear. This offers a great deal of fun and variation to the gameplay.

Holding Tab will display the scoreboard. By default, only names and pings are displayed, but scripts can add extra columns that are specific to the particular gamemode being played. For example, a deathmatch game mode would definitely have a column listing total kills, but the map creator may choose to add extra columns for the number of deaths you have and how long you have been playing for, in order to put your score into perspective.

User Experience

This section outlines what our automated version will do.

A .dmg file will be distributed. EULAs can be embedded within .dmg files.

This file will contain a link to the Applications folder and the Multi Theft Auto application. The user is expected to transfer the application to the applications directory before running.

The application will:

Mta Gta San Andreas

• confirm we are not running from an img file
• check if there is currently a valid GTA:SA directory
  • if not, prompt for a directory.
  • Wineskin does not support symbolic links. Once the directory has been chosen, we copy the gta_sa.exe file over and directory junction the rest of the files.
• start Multi Theft Auto for us automatically

Making Your Own Wrapper

This section is written like a tutorial for public consumption, but is intended to serve as working documentation to aid the automated version in development. It is recommended that you read through this entire section (including the 'Tips' section at the bottom) before following the tutorial, if you wish to build your own Wineskin wrapper. You do not need to read any other sections.

Grabbing the Winery

• Grab the Wineskin Winery. At the time of writing, v1.7. This allows you to create your own wrapper.
• Open Wineskin Winery.app, and click 'Update' underneath 'No Wrapper Installed' to download the master wrapper..
• Now click the + plus button. This will bring up a new window titled 'Add Engine'.
• Select the latest engine (at the time of writing, WS9Wine1.9.15) and click the blue 'Download and Install' button.
• Now you can click 'Create New Blank Wrapper' button at the bottom of the 'Wineskin Winery' window.
• Call the application whatever you like, 'Multi Theft Auto' is a good name to use.
• You may receive a firewall dialog. Press 'Yes'.
• Allow the wrapper to be created. This will take some time.
• A new wrapper will be generated in the Applications folder in your home folder. It will not appear in your main Applications folder (which resides in the root of your drive, for all the users).

Now we have generated an empty wrapper, we need to add GTA, install MTA, and configure some other settings.

Running San Andreas

Firstly, we will test out Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. For the sake of this tutorial we will assume that you already have a folder containing your GTA:SA files (copied over from a Windows installation). You may need a no-cd version of the exe.

• Right click your main wrapper app (in my case, 'MTASA.app') and press 'Show package contents'
• There should be three items inside here. Open the drive_c shortcut, open Program Files, and create a folder called Rockstar Games.
• Copy (or move) your GTA San Andreas folder here.
• Now select Wineskin.app (which inside our main app). This application allows us to configure our wrapper.
• Select 'Advanced' to bring up a window titled 'Wineskin Advanced'.
• Click the 'Browse' button next to the 'Windows EXE' field and navigate to gta_sa.exe. The window should now look like this.
• Press 'Set Screen Options' at the bottom of the window, and make sure you deselect 'Decorate windows', and select 'Use Direct3D boost'. It should be configured like this.High Sierra (and above) users must read these instructions.
• Click Done. On the 'Wineskin Advanced' window, press 'Test Run' and San Andreas will begin to run. Note that it will take some time for it to run.
• After the two GTASA startup logos display, press any key to skip the splash screen.
• After you've tried the game a little, quit. You may close (press Cancel) the dialog box that asks you whether you want to view logs.

Running Multi Theft Auto

Now we need to install Multi Theft Auto.

Mta San Download

• Some font files are required for MTA to run. Copy the font files (.ttf) from here and extract them to `drive_c/windows/fonts` (inside our wrapper). You may have to create the fonts folder yourself if it does not exist.
• Download the installer from the homepage.
• Open Wineskin.app (inside our wrapper) and select 'Install Software', and then select 'Choose Setup Executable'.
• Navigate to the .exe installer (that should be inside your Downloads folder) and allow Wineskin to load it.
• Proceed with the installer as usual. Do not change the Destination Folder for where MTA will be installed.
• The installer may encounter errors Unable to install Microsoft Visual Studio 20xx redistributable. It is okay to ignore these.
• Deselect Run MTA when you have finished installing.
• Press 'Advanced' on the Wineskin window, and now browse to the Multi Theft Auto.exe file.
• Perform a Test Run, and hopefully Multi Theft Auto should run!

Tips

• You can use the keybind Cmd+Opt+A at any time to switch between windowed & fullscreen. You may need to use this if you cmd+tab out of the app, and the app ends up moving to windowed mode.
• If you are asked at any time to install Gecko or Mono, simply press yes.
• If you receive the message 'Warning: Could not detect anti-virus product' when starting MTA, simply check the box saying 'I will not install an anti-virus', and press OK. This message occurs because MTA cannot detect OS X antiviruses.
