How do I create an account?

You can use the PowerShell script in downloads or execute a query against the database manually.

Create NEW USER: test / password

INSERT INTO cohauth.dbo.user_account (account, uid, forum_id, pay_stat) VALUES ('test', 1, 1, 1014);

INSERT INTO cohauth.dbo.user_auth (account, password, salt, hash_type) VALUES ('test', CONVERT(BINARY(128),'46ffce3efcfe83bfa205b076d7c2084b9dcf04cdb26f9019103cde29779d26a85216b2c0f43ba1a8fb9b7fa22f05a949bf4edc314af27629e8fc23014e77a24d'), 0, 1);

INSERT INTO cohauth.dbo.user_data (uid, user_data) VALUES (1, 0x0080C2E000D00B0C000000000CB40058);

INSERT INTO cohauth.dbo.user_server_group (uid, server_group_id) VALUES (1, 1);

How do I make a GM Character?

• Update the character in the database

UPDATE [cohdb].[dbo].[Ents] SET [AccessLevel] = 10 WHERE [Name] = 'charnamehere'

• You can also set DefaultAccessLevel to 10 in servers.cfg,

This will only work for characters made after you make this change.

All characters after this change will be an GM.

You'll also need to restart DBServer after this change.

• Login to the game and type /mmm to bring up an admin menu.

Most commands are also listed in Commands.cfg

These commands can be typed in game via chat.

Why does my server show offline?

• First make sure you've added your server into the database. You can do so with the code below.

  • INSERT INTO cohauth.dbo.server (id, name, ip, inner_ip, ageLimit, pk_flag, server_group_id) VALUES (1, 'Bree', '127.0.0.1', '127.0.0.1', 0, 0, 1);

  • INSERT INTO cohauth.dbo.worldstatus (idx, status) VALUES (1, 1);

Why does my AuthServer say "Non-registered world server X.X.X.X"?

• Make sure the server is in the cohauth

  • INSERT INTO cohauth.dbo.server (id, name, ip, inner_ip, ageLimit, pk_flag, server_group_id) VALUES (1, 'Bree', '127.0.0.1', '127.0.0.1', 0, 0, 1);

  • INSERT INTO cohauth.dbo.worldstatus (idx, status) VALUES (1, 1);

Why does my DBServer say "login failed for user sa" when starting?

• Most likely you've entered the string wrong in account_server.cfg or another file.
• It could be that the sa account is still disabled as well. Double check SMSS to verify.
• If you've entered it correctly make sure restarted the service after the changes from the guide.

Why does my DBServer say "invalid login to DBServer" when I try to join my server?

• Most likely you forgot to change the launch parameters of your client when you moved away from using NoAuth.

-patchdir score -patchversion 2019.04.19 -auth IPOFYOURSERVER -noversioncheck

My AuctionServer is running but why players can't list items?

• Most likely your auction_server.cfg is incorrect.

ShardIp 127.0.0.1
SqlDbName cohauc
SqlLogin "DRIVER={SQL Server Native Client 11.0};Server=localhost\SQLEXPRESS;Uid=sa;Pwd=YOURL33TPASS;"

• Start AuctionServer64.exe

Why is my MapServer displaying popups?

• Most likely your server.cfg is set to -filedebug. Change to this -nopopup to no longer see windows from it.

Why aren't my Architect Missions aren't publishing?

• Most likely you are missing the "missionserver" folder. Create one in the root of your server directory and start MissionServer again. For me this is C:\COH\missionserver.

How come my server says "Paragon" and how do I change it?

0. (empty server list)
1. Paragon
2. Cryptic
3. Bree
4. Undying
5. Phoenix
6. Rebirth
7. Resurgence
8. Titan
9. Unity
10. Torchbearer

What configuration files do I need to create?

You need to create auction_server.cfg, chat_server.cfg, and servers.cfg. Crust Fire created a php script which will make these for you.
