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.

Turns out 1.6 is real after all! Good job everyone who was involved with this update in any way. There's loads of QoL changes and new features I'm excited to actively use in my projects. Excited to see what else the future will bring to this incredible community.

Very exciting! Updating my version right now and ensuring my ongoing projects work well with MTA 1.6. I'm excited to try out some of the new features.

Congrats on 20 years MTA! I'm proud to have been part of this community for at least 13 of those years even if it was on a laptop that was only able to run the game at a whopping 7 fps. Multi Theft Auto has been quite an important part of my life, in part due to the fact that I started playing when I was around 14 years old while I'm now 27 which means that it was there through some of the most defining years of my life. When I grew from being a kid to the adult that I am now. Being a part of this community helped me improve my English (it used to be absolutely horrendous as some who have known me since the UAG days may remember), form tons of amazing friendships and significantly improved my coding skills. While Lua itself isn't necessarily useful in my current job building projects and communities in MTA has taught me plenty of useful coding practices, helped me improved my web development skills due to the need for websites for my communities and forced me to learn how to properly build a server infrastructure. It also helped me become more mature, learning from any mistakes I have made in the past. A little known fact as well is that MTA has in part helped me go through a severe depression I went through around the age of 16-17. Thank you for helping me grow both as a person and as a coder. I appreciate everyone who contributes positively to this project and look forward to the many years yet to come. You bet I'll be around for all of it.

Don't waste your second chance people! Great job to the AC team for the hard work you've put in over the years and for allowing those who have made mistakes in the past to have a second chance to enjoy the game again.

That's an issue you directly have with the Mr Green server. I highly doubt you'll receive any help from the MTA Staff on this as they have no power over it.
