CodsMP is a modification for SA-MP 0.3.DL R1 that aims to improve general gameplay and bring additional, non-advantageous client functionality.

  • Blueberry lag is fixed with a new building removal method.
  • No delay when quitting the game (/sq allows you to force-crash instantly).
  • Fixes a SA-MP bug freezing your character when entering or exiting a vehicle which despawns.
  • /tackle can be automatically disabled after a chosen amount of time.
  • The phone animation works inside cars now (will not be synced with other players).
  • Plates can be replaced with vehicle IDs.
  • Taking screenshots is a lot faster and is no longer limited to 1000 screenshots.
  • Support for instant reloading of SAMP 0.3.DL cache files, only working for skins right now.
  • Cars can have original game dirt textures on them again.

CodsMP provides an alternative to the 'skin changer' mod you know and love, instead allowing you to use an in-game command to set your skin to any model name you have placed in a special folder. They also save upon reloading the model, so for example someone exiting and entering.


It also comes with the possibility of assigning specific player names to specific custom models, which allows you to apply a specific model modification on a specific player! This means that you can have someone's private mod show up only on them and nobody else with the same default model that they have.

Instructions for setting up custom models are the following:
  • Create a 'custom_models' folder in your GTA:SA root folder.
  • (Optional) Create additional folders inside your GTA:SA root folder to help you organize.
  • Put the .dff and .txd of your skin in the format of 'Firstname_Lastname'.
  • (Optional) If you want the skin work with a specific skin ID, then use the 'Firstname_Lastname_SkinID' format.
  • The skins should now work and apply themselves. Refer to model-related commands below for more uses.

  • If you want to use custom weapon models, use the same steps above but replace the skin ID with the desired weapon model ID. For example, you would use 'Firstname_Lastname_348' for a Desert Eagle mod.

In game, you have access to the following commands to help you with custom models:
  • /sq - closes the game, simulating a force crash. Abuse can lead to server punishment
  • /screens - adjust better screenshots options
  • /ivffix - toggles the ImVehFt color fix
  • /optim - adjust game optimization options
  • /diagrestore - toggles dialogs saving your selection
  • /skinid - get the skin id of a player you've previously streamed in
  • /reloadmodels - reload models
  • /model - change your ped model to a specific custom model
  • /fmodel - change another players ped model to a specific custom model
  • /debuglog - prints debug information to debug.log
  • /autoupdate - toggles automatic updates for this mod
  • /minizoom - toggles the radar zooming in while driving a vehicle
  • /pedmodels - displays a list of custom ped models
