Server guide

How ghst.network works

Everything you need to know about our GTA San Andreas server - from your first login to running a gang. In the game, /helpmenu shows the short version and /help lists every command.

Getting started

1. Get the game

You need GTA San Andreas on PC and the free open.mp launcher.

You need the original GTA San Andreas (2005) - the Definitive Edition does not work. Get it in the original GTA Trilogy on the Rockstar Store, or use a copy you already own (Steam, Rockstar launcher or disc). Install it, then the launcher - it finds your game folder by itself.

2. Connect

Open the launcher, search ghst or add our address:

 
▶ Join the server

3. Register

Choose a password the first time you join. Your progress is saved to that name - always use the same one.

Every player's clock shows their own local time (/timezone to change it). Paydays happen on every real round hour.

Gangs & turfs

San Andreas is split into 307 turfs - squares and rectangles of different sizes, named after the real GTA districts - Ganton, Idlewood, Glen Park and the rest. They cover every bit of land, from small blocks in the cities to big squares in the countryside, plus the cargo ship in San Fierro. Five gangs fight over them, and every gang has a home base nobody can take.

Joining

Gang leaders (rank 6) and owners (rank 7) invite players with /finvite; accept with /faccept. Ranks go from Outsider to Lieutenant, then Leader and Owner.

Turf wars

A leader starts /turfattack inside an enemy or civilian turf, with at least 5 gang members (the leader + 4) standing in it. Every attacker becomes wanted with 5 stars when the attack starts. Hold the zone for 5 minutes to win it. Every online member of the winning gang gets $25,000 + 25 LP. Gangs wait 5 minutes between successful attacks.

Alliances

Gang owners can make an alliance with /ally - allied gangs don't fight each other.

Gang house

Each gang has its own house with a free heal and armour pickup and a gun vending machine.

Gang vehicles

Grove Street Families have their own cars, bikes, a helicopter and a gang bus at Grove Street. Only members can drive them, and they can't be damaged while parked. At the gang bus press G to ride inside its luxury cabin, F to get out wherever it is. Leaders: /frefuel and /frespawn.

GhostCity Police Department

The police are based at the real LSPD headquarters. They can't own turfs - instead they free them. Police attack a turf held by a gang; if they win, the turf goes back to the civilians. If they lose, the gang keeps it.

Link your Discord on your account page - the bot sends you a message when your gang's turf is attacked while you're offline.

Crime

Drug empire

Cook your harvest at the dealer, then drive it across the map in a van. Anyone can rob the van and the police get a GPS ping. /cook /drugrun

Tournaments & events

Fishing and hunting tournaments every weekend, random events every 30-45 minutes and a weekly server goal that unlocks a double payday weekend. /tournament /events /goal

When you come back after a while, the server shows what your gang did while you were away. Everything big that happens shows up live on the league page and in our Discord's #live-feed.

Levels, LP & payday

Every real round hour (10:00, 11:00...) you get a payday, if you played at least 10 minutes that hour. The higher your level, the bigger it is:

LevelPayday
1$100
10$1,000
100$100,000
500 (max)$1,000,000

To level up you need LP (level points). Going from level X to X+1 costs X LP. Buy LP with /buylp, then /buylvl. LP also comes from houses and won turf wars. /level shows the current prices.

Gun Skill

Your weapons depend on your Gun Skill (GS), from 1 to 10. New GS tiers unlock as your level grows - buy them with /buygs, see them with /gsinfo. You spawn with little ammo, so buy more at an Ammu-Nation with /buyammo. From GS 8 you choose your SMG with /smg.

Turf attackers can't use /healme, /jetpack, /vcar or the teleports, so turf wars stay fair.

Staff team

The staff team has 7 levels: 1 Helper, 2 Moderator, 3 Senior Moderator, 4 Administrator, 5 Senior Administrator, 6 Head Administrator, 7 Owner. Admins can't use punishing commands on higher admins.

Staff ranks are never sold. Helpful, active players are picked by the team - ask on our Discord if you want to help.

/admins shows every admin online and whether they are on duty, AFK, on ESC or just online. Admins go on duty with /aduty. Abusing admin powers means losing the rank, with no refund.
