A classic, lightweight tool that allows you to browse keys and modify their corresponding text strings.

The mod features a range of missions that mirror the original GTA SA gameplay, but with a mafia twist. Some examples include:

Despite its importance, american.gxt is a frequent source of crashing for novice modders.

Community-made translations (such as the popular Russian "Promt" or "Zog" versions) often replace or heavily edit the american.gxt to provide localized text.

A more modern alternative that includes advanced features like a "Merge GXT" tool for combining multiple text archives.

The mod takes place in a fictionalized version of New Jersey, where you play as Giuseppe "Joey" Morello, a made man in the Lupertazzi crime family. Your goal is to rise through the ranks and become a powerful figure in the American Mafia.

San Andreas uses various GXT files for different languages ( french.gxt , german.gxt , etc.), but is the primary file for the English language version of the game. It is the default dictionary the game calls upon to display text on the screen.
