The team have been hard at work fixing bugs lately and there isn't any interesting information to give you, so I thought I'd reveal a feature that was implemented a while ago.

MTA:SA Deathmatch now supports the in-game car mods such as exhausts, spoilers, nitrous, hydraulics, etc. (third party mods are still unsupported). You can set these attributes upon spawning the car or allow players to upgrade their vehicles mid-game. With license plate customisation and the ability to change the colour as well, players can really make vehicles their own, which offers interesting possibilities for RPG.

We'll keep you updated as the mod progresses.

Note: The team are looking for another developer to speed things along. If you're a competent C++ programmer with a keen interest in GTA and some time to spare, contact eAi at eAi [at] opencoding [dot] net.

hmok .. even if its done with the sdk imho it can only be done within a gamemode of the sdk orsome i really doubt it will ever be possible with the sdk to 'download and install on the fly while running the game' 'a' 3rd party mod of someone else -aka .. someone saying "look at the veyron i just installed" ... ah maybe i worry to much ... omg what will happen when 3 ppl mod same vehicle with different 3rd party mods

;)

If this is added at some point, the modified files would be on the server, which would make sure each client has the same.

It is very possible to do it on-the-fly aswell, switching car textures/handling mid-game, but we'll see if/when we come to it :D
