''San Andreas Multiplayer'' started life as a multiplayer modification for [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City|Vice City]], dubbed [[Vice City Multiplayer]] (''VC:MP'') towards the start of April, 2005. It was decided that ''VC:MP'' would be worked on as a codebase for ''SA:MP'', due to the fact the upcoming [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|San Andreas]] game was not released at the time the team started working. The team consisted of some well known members of the [[Grand Theft Auto|GTA]] [[Modification|modding]] community, and was led by ''kyeman'' - a prominent figure in the GTA Modding community. Offering preview videos and screenshots showing the status of the development work that was being done quickly gained the mod a large fanbase within the GTA community, with its small forums attracting approximately 120 users before it switched to a new home. | ''San Andreas Multiplayer'' started life as a multiplayer modification for [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City|GTA Vice City]], dubbed [[Vice City Multiplayer]] (''VC:MP'') towards the start of April, 2005.

After a couple of public beta tests gathering an extremely high amount of interest (so high that long waits were common to get a slot on the beta servers) ''VC:MP'' was finally released to a warm reception and has since progressed from v0.1 to v0.1d, with an open-source code release in the progress. This source has now been used by another community member to progress with ''VC:MP'' as the main team work on '''SA:MP'''. | After a couple of public beta tests gathering an extremely high amount of interest (so high that long waits were common to get a slot on the beta servers) ''VC:MP'' was finally released to a warm reception and has since progressed from v0.1 to v0.1d, with an open-source code release in the progress.

There are a wide variety of the so called '''''gamemodes''''' in ''San Andreas Multiplayer'' due to the innovative ''PAWN'' scripting engine the game uses, allowing any user to create whole missions within the [[San Andreas|San Andreas map]], and used by the server in a special file format - much the same way a 'normal' game would have individual levels for the same mode of gameplay. Some of the styles of gameplay featured by '''SA:MP''' are Assault (Attack/Defend), Capture The Flag (in the form of capture the opposing teams car, boat, bike or plane), Team Deathmatch, Deathmatch, Racing or even modes where to win you must be the player with most money (gained by gambling or killing other players). There also is the option of general 'freeroam' gamemodes, where you can do as you wish and follow your own objective. | There are a wide variety of the so called '''''gamemodes''''' in ''San Andreas Multiplayer'' due to the innovative ''PAWN'' scripting engine the game uses, allowing any user to create whole missions within the [[San Andreas in GTA III Era|San Andreas map]], and used by the server in a special file format - much the same way a 'normal' game would have individual levels for the same mode of gameplay.
