Would be nice to have MTA implemented if SAMP is being considered. MTA is another popular modification for Grand Theft Auto San Andreas.

I run a popular server on there and would be willing to help test or contribute. I am not good enough in bash to maybe be that much help.
This is a bash script I made to deploy a MTA server using the default resources or use your own Git repository as the source. Not sure if it would be any help to you. (For Debian)

Hey there. I had this idea already, seems not very easy to add support for this game, but could be very cool.
You seem to know a bit of bash, probably enough to make the step into developing LGSM. You know, that's how i really learned myself :p

I wrote this recently, to help people wanting to get into LGSM development. If you feel like so, you can step in !
https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/wiki/Developing-LGSM
Ultimately, you'll need this: https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/wiki/Branching

Otherwise, it might take a while for us to get into it, depending on our availabilities.
