I get this error when MTA isn't installed (no registry entry) and I try to run it by just copying the files on the pc.

Have you installed MTA before you replaced the default stuff with your own stuff?

No. I have only downloaded the files, from github, then 

 

1. Execute create-projects.bat
2. Open Build\MTASA.sln
3. Compile
4. Install data files: utils\premake5.exe install_data
5. Install resources: utils\premake5.exe install_resources (optional step)

What to do?

Is there anyone from the MTA team who can tell me his Skype nickname?

Try installing MTA 1.5.3, then running your custom build.

How do I run the MTA and test how it's working?

 

 

I'm not much knownledgable about building a custom build, but have you included the net modules, which aren't opensource and therefore aren't automatically included in your project if you didn't add them manually. net.dll and netc.dll, like take them from the nightly revision your branch fork is based on. like into MTA San Andreas 1.5/MTA > netc.dll and server folder > net.dll

I have installed the MTA, custom build also works.

Now I'm looking what prevents the ASI files from being loaded.

MTA forbids loading of ASI files (and I'd imagine any other file types that are automatically loaded as modules by GTA) in order to prevent CLEO mods and other unauthorized modifications.

I guess you would have to rewrite the Limit Adjuster to work with native C++ instead of ASI. But Sbx320 or any other mayor Dev can tell you more about this.

•  When I run nighlty build that I have compile

  I get "Installing update"

   

  How to develop the MTA in spite of all these problems?

   

  The MTA forum is pretty :~ty, it's not possible to edit the post code directly, I want to edit the BBcode manually

Go into MTA settings and disable the Update checker, it wont ask you for any updates anymore.
