antizona — GTA:SA Software Multiplayer Engine

Overview

antizona is a low-level, bloat-free multiplayer client and server suite. It operates entirely without GPU graphics drivers, embedded web browsers (CEF), or heavy scripting runtimes.

Software Rasterizer: Multithreaded CPU rendering engine outputting directly to an X11 framebuffer (XShm).
Single-Binary Server: Fast UDP network daemon with spatial grid entity broadcasting.
mmap Asset Pipeline: Extracts native RenderWare models and textures into raw .ply meshes and .tga textures packed in a single uncompressed assets.tar.
