Welcome to the new Multi Theft Auto Wiki (work in progress). Visit this wiki's GitHub repository for more information about the project and how to contribute. The old wiki is still active at wiki.multitheftauto.com (where unofficial articles and pages are still available).

There are many things you can do to help us improve MTA - create a map, a gamemode, help document scripting functions, write example code, write tutorials or just play MTA and report the bugs you find.

If you have any questions or problems related to scripting, feel free to get in touch with us on Discord.
