Overview
The latest Multi Theft Auto software is based on code injection and hooking techniques whereby the game is manipulated without altering any original files supplied with the game. 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.
The project has also been the subject in multiple articles in different media. The most prominent being a coverage on G4 TV, an exclusive release for Fileplanet with coverage on its frontpage, and features in published magazines such as PC Gamer and Total PC Gaming.
The Multi Theft Auto: San Andreas project was revised and relaunched as an open source project, leaving all prior versions behind. The source code was licensed under the GPLv3 license and made available on Google Code and GitHub.
