Host a server. Write its game modes.

DarqlineMP is multiplayer for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas – The Definitive Edition. Learn to run a server, script game modes in Lua and work with the network protocol.

Run a server

Write your first resource

Lua API reference

The server owns the game

The server is the source of truth for players, vehicles, weapons, health and the world. Clients render that state and send their own player's input.

Elements and ownership

Game modes are Lua resources

Each resource runs in its own sandboxed Lua VM and uses the dlmp API. Start, stop and reload resources without restarting the server.

Scripting overview

An open protocol

Every packet is documented, with golden byte-for-byte examples you can test a bot or another server against.
