SanAndreas Multiplayer (abbreviated to SA:MP) is a third party multiplayer modification for the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas computer game. San Andreas Multiplayer is developed by a team of dedicated fans of the Grand Theft Auto series of video games, who work on their own spare time developing SA:MP as a hobby.

San Andreas Multiplayer started life as a multiplayer modification for GTA Vice City, dubbed Vice City Multiplayer (VC:MP) towards the start of April, 2005. It was decided that VC:MP would be worked on as a codebase for SA:MP, due to the fact the upcoming San Andreas game was not released at the time the team started working. The team consisted of some well known members of the GTA modding community, and was led by kyeman - a prominent figure in the GTA Modding community. Offering preview videos and screenshots showing the status of the development work that was being done quickly gained the mod a large fanbase within the GTA community, with its small forums attracting approximately 120 users before it switched to a new home.After a couple of public beta tests gathering an extremely high amount of interest (so high that long waits were common to get a slot on the beta servers) VC:MP was finally released to a warm reception and has since progressed from v0.1 to v0.1d, with an open-source code release in the progress. This source has now been used by another community member to progress with VC:MP as the main team work on SA:MP.


Once San Andreas had been released for the PC on Jun 10, 2005 work continued in the same way as it did for VC:MP - by working away in private and periodically releasing screenshots and videos on their website, and answering peoples questions via their forums (which eventually changed from their small hosting to a subforum on the largest GTA community, GTANet/GTA Forums, which also hosted the IRC channel). All was going as it would have expected, until something unexpected and un-welcomed by the community happened: the Development team decided that, to keep San Andreas the way it was meant to be played, that the mod would have a total shift in development path - instead of having a Multiplayer supporting a large number of players in a Deathmatch style, they would instead change it entirely to a Co-Op style mod supporting 6 players. Their idea was that you would be able to play much like single player - with pedestrians, cops chasing you, and following the ever changing storyline - but with 5 of your friends doing it with you. It was a very novel idea, but it was widely rejected by the community and the new forums at GTANet where filled with hate towards the SA:MP development team, no matter how much the team tried to promote the idea. With a large project such as this one, which requires community backing, things did not look well.


On Sept 18 2005 kyeman, the lead coder and the head of the team, left in the middle of the Co-Op debate due to work commitments making it impossible for him to progress on the mod. He handed over all the existing work so far to the 2nd main coder, spooky, who took control of development work and rebranded the project's name to GTA:Multiplayer (GTA:M) to signify the new change in management.


Around a month later, kyeman had sorted out his personal life and decided to start helping out the team with a few things. He didn't announce it as a comeback, rather that he would just be helping with any difficulties the team had to ensure work on his codebase carried on, and to keep the faith within the community. The idea of co-op was also scrapped during this time, due to technical limitations, and also the disappointing feedback received from the once eager community, and eventually kyeman officially rejoined the team and took charge of proceedings again.


Once everything had been sorted out in regards to kyeman returning to take charge and the direction of development changing back to its original intention of a large deathmatch-style game, the official name of the project was changed back to San Andreas Multiplayer to avoid confusion, and also to avoid any legal implications with Rockstar Games regarding the use of the trademark "Grand Theft Auto."


There are a wide variety of the so called gamemodes in San Andreas Multiplayer due to the innovative PAWN scripting engine the game uses, allowing any user to create whole missions within the San Andreas map, and used by the server in a special file format - much the same way a 'normal' game would have individual levels for the same mode of gameplay. Some of the styles of gameplay featured by SA:MP are Assault (Attack/Defend), Capture The Flag (in the form of capture the opposing teams car, boat, bike or plane), Team Deathmatch, Deathmatch, Racing or even modes where to win you must be the player with most money (gained by gambling or killing other players). There also is the option of general 'freeroam' gamemodes, where you can do as you wish and follow your own objective.


Creating gamemodes can be anything from simply placing co-ordinates (co-ords) into the PAWNO editor and compiling to creating fully-fledged missions with progressing spawn points, various objectives, and custom in-game commands


There are a number of bugs and flaws in the modification, but this has to be expected due to the fact that the multiplayer is 'shoehorned' into the game without any access to the games original source code."Hit registration" has been described as poor by some players which is a problem with an online game which many players like to play competitively. Some complaints have also been made about the powerful PAWN scripting engine being hard to use for people with no previous experience of coding (in areas/languages such as C++) who would like to make their own gamemodes to run on their servers.There also are a large number of bugs, but due to the fact the modification has only been released recently this would be expected. There also is a dedicated bug reporting system which implies the bugs will all be worked out eventually, with some already flagged as 'fixed'.


Though the 2004 multi-platform smash hit Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was originally sold as a purely single-player title, thanks to the ingenuity of independent modders, it's now possible to play the game with online multiplayer. SA-MP (short for "San Andreas Multiplayer") is a free multiplayer mod for San Andreas that allows players to interact online in a wide variety of competitive and "free play" modes. See Step 1 below to


San Andreas Multiplayer is a server component that allows players to play Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas in multiplayer mode. The game by itself does not allow multiplayer, but with the server/client components, you can play multiplayer. The dedicated server component can be run as a Windows service using FireDaemon Pro, which allows you to start the dedicated server automatically at boot prior to login, start multiple instances of the dedicated server and more. This HOWTO will show you how to set it up. You can also use FireDaemon Fusion to manage FireDaemon and other Windows services via a web browser.


Next start the FireDaemon GUI from the desktop shortcut. Click on the "Create a new service definition" button in the toolbar (or type Ctrl+N) and enter the information into the fields as you see below. Adjust the paths to suit your installation. Note that no parameters are required.


San Andreas Multiplayer (SA:MP) is a modification for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas which turns it into a multiplayer game. You can play over the internet (or LAN) with up to 999 other people (having up to 1,000 players online at once). You need the original Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas PC game to play San Andreas Multiplayer.In SA:MP you are able to do almost anything that you can do in single player GTA. SA:MP also features the ability to create your own scripted game modes. There are many game modes that feature a series of different and fun things to do. Many of which are not possible in single player.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas - The Definitive Edition is out now, giving GTA fans the chance to relive one of the most beloved games in the franchise with revamped graphics and a GTA 5-style control scheme. Rockstar Games has kept Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas - The Definitive Edition and the rest of the GTA Trilogy mostly underwraps since its announcement, which meant that fans are having to learn a lot about the games by actually playing them.


This means that fans are just now discovering that Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas - The Definitive Edition is missing the co-op/multiplayer mode from the original San Andreas game. As some may recall, the original Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas had a secret co-op mode that fans could trigger by going to a special icon not far from CJ's house at Grove Street. If players had a second controller and a second player handy, the second player could choose from a variety of GTA San Andreas characters and then they could wreak havoc on the open world together.


Unfortunately, this mode has been removed in this new version of the game, meaning GTA San Andreas Definitive Edition does not have co-op or multiplayer of any kind. If players go to the spot where the co-op activation icon is supposed to be, they'll find nothing. This may not be all that surprising since the mobile port of San Andreas removed co-op as well, but it's still likely disappointing to some players who were hoping for some nostalgic co-op action.
