Sphene is now officially open source! https://github.com/sphene/sphene-mta Excited to work with all of you, to turn this highly experimental pile of trash into something beautiful! Remember, Sphene historically has been very experimental. Many different approaches were tried and researched and that has left a lot of experimental, legacy and unfinished code. It's not the most glamorous, but we're still proud of it! Together we'll refactor the legacy code, we'll finish the unfinished pieces and we'll work through all the large problems that are ahead of us. Repository wiki will be filled with information, and lists (current states of each mission, etc) in the coming days. REMEMBER! Sphene is NOT production ready. We will only help those who want to contribute to our development with setting up their local development versions.

Sounds like the country you're in is causing trouble itself. Sorry to hear that.

I'm seeing a common factor between all these events... you. Are you sure you're following the rules of each server properly, and acting appropriately? I can't imagine many servers would be thriving if they just randomly targeted new players.

Honestly, the issues you listed are all issues that are caused by a combination of bad scripts and a bad infrastructure. There's only so much Multi Theft Auto can do if server owners don't bother to learn proper security practices and implement them. Also, anti-cheat clearly has seen updates numerous of times since 2023 (obviously they're not open about all the changes). Development is happening on a nearly daily basis with plenty of new updates coming available. The community is far from being neglected, a lot of the community is on the Discord server nowadays though. Please get your facts straight before you make such accusations.

We are planning to open source Sphene around Q4 of 2025. I'd like to set some expectations: Sphene is still heavily in development, by no means will Sphene be something you can just run and enjoy on a server. While a lot of features have been added to Sphene, a lot of the storyline is not fully playable yet. There are still a lot of glitches, and missing functionality. You WILL run into major issues. We are working through some of the last hurdles that kept us from open sourcing the project. We will only provide support on getting Sphene to run to those with clear intent to help its development. By open sourcing the project later this year, we hope to accelerate its development. We hope to work together as a community to better understand how the underlying game code operates and how to implement missing functionality into Sphene. We look forward to working together with all of you!

Happy holidays to our wonderful community!

Quick update, project is very much alive and loads of progress has been made since this topic was made. I'll add a new comment soon outlining the work we've done over these 6 years. I usually just do updates on our Discord server but realized that there's possibly a group of people out there that might be trying to get their updates on the project here.

I've gone ahead and fixed them

That's pretty interesting. Would love to see what else we can achieve with AI in MTA. Could see this being useful a way to provide support for server players.

Question has been answered on Discord as well. You can't request to join the team. When there's a need for more staff members, existing staff will decide which community members are best suited for the job. There's a lot of factors that go into those decisions. Just focus on being a positive part of the community.

Pretty unique! Definitely going to try this one out.

Another amazing year has gone by! Happy holidays everyone and let's make 2024 another amazing year for the community.
