MTA: SA Updates
I guess every true fanatic keeps an eye on the official [MultiTheftAuto](https://web.archive.org/web/20051117170103/http://mtavc.com/) website; almost a week ago a report on the current state of the program appeared on the site.
2 Player Missions Beta
The beta version of a San Andreas modification called 2 Missions has been released. With this mod, a feature that comes standard in the PlayStation2 version will be available in the game too, meaning two people can play at the same time, which wasn't possible until now because DirectX didn't support it.
GTA: New York
This morning we had news of a Hungarian GTA game, and now we're setting sail for foreign waters. An international team of modders has decided to build an in-game version of New York, using the San Andreas engine.
GTA: Staunton Island Winter 2
We got word not long ago that *Blacky* has finished GTA: Staunton Island Winter 2. This isn't a mod, but a complete game. I haven't tried it myself yet, but as far as I know it was built on the Vice City engine, just like the first part (we never had the pleasure of playing that one, I'm sure it was good too).
First San Andreas Patch
Rockstar has stirred the game's first v1.01 patch into their home-brewed iced coffee. It weighs in at 11 megs and fixes quite a few problems in the game, on top of any "steamy" assassination attempts. Here is the translated list of the important fixes:
San Andreas Intro Video
Today we'd like to serve up a new San Andreas intro, made by Pedge Jameson and the smooth-talking Young Maylay. The usual beat in the intro has been spiced up with a bit of rapping, so it's bound to be good.. that much is for sure.. :p
Another VC-MP test
Next weekend the servers will be fired up again for one last test before the first version is released. Until then, everyone who wants to jump in should install a clean Vice City, and GTA LC on a separate one.
Liberty City to Vice City to San Andreas
The LVS Team already had a go at combining GTA III and Vice City once, but they decided to wait for San Andreas instead and link the three cities together in that.
King of the Ghetto
In the rap video King of the Getto, made by Sequential Pictures, SneakyD "sings" about the game itself to the music of San Andreas. His page has the video in .mpg and .mov formats, the music alone as an .mp3, the lyrics, and a few pictures from the video.
Map Viewer
The latest version of the Map Viewer is out from Steve M.'s kitchen. As he put it, it's still a non-user-friendly alpha version, so not everyone may get it running on the first try.
Mod Manager
Delfi and quite a few other developers from [GTAGarage](https://www.gtagarage.com/mods/index.php) and [GTATools](https://gtatools.com/) have put together the first modification installer. It's still an early version, but it's compatible with both GTA III and Vice City.
VC-MP and LC-MP Open Beta
The open beta test has been running for two days. On the first day the general public could try out plain VC-MP, and today it's LC-MP's turn, to make the joy complete.
