What is a "Texture Studio"

Texture Studio is an advanced, server-based map editor. You can use Texture Studio for practically any kind of SA-MP map. It has many features that allow you to create, texture, and modify SA-MP maps with ease.

• You can load, save, rename, and even delete maps in-game.
• PAWN map code can be imported and exported in multiple formats.
