What is GTA Connected?

[Vortrex]

Grand Theft Auto Connected (sometimes called GTA Connected or GTA:C for short) is a scriptable multiplayer modification (MP mod) that supports multiple GTA games, including GTA III, GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas, and GTA IV.

It's basically the one mod to rule them all.

Before GTA Connected, each GTA game had a different modification to play online. These were created by different teams with a different development process and structure. The problem with that is you have to download each mod separately and you end up with a very different experiences when playing each of them. Also, some mods were more unstable than others, and some have poor sync. For server owners and scripters this also meant you had to completely rewrite your scripts to work on another mod to have a server for another game. Thus, GTA Connected was created under the idea of "why play all these different mods when you only need one?"

It's the same experience across every game. Same amazing sync, same stability and security, same "feel" to the games. No need to deal with different mods. Just download GTAC, choose a game, connect, and play! (You'll need to have a copy of the game you want to play on your PC, of course). For scripters, it's the ultimate dream: You only need to write your scripts once. The functions and structures are identical for every game (with a few minor exceptions). Need an example? Check out "Vortrex's Freeroam Server" on any of the games GTA Connected supports ... It runs the exact same scripts for each game all from the same server directory.
