reorganized and directed readers more toward v2 of the VM, corrected little things, in a thousand years all that will remain of the human race will be an infinitely expanding bubble of radio waves redshifting into oblivion as the universe outpaces it

There are two i25 virtual machines currently hosted on OuroWiki. The HyperV one is newer.
Take a look at the [[i25_FAQ|Frequently Asked Questions]] to configure your server once it's up.

This is a full deployment of the i25 server with an XAMPP instance for Tequila and several useful tools. It is based on Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard. The default login is Administrator and coh123!

HyperV Instructions

  1. Add the VM to HyperV
    1. Add new Virtual Machine
    2. Select Next and name the Name. Click Next
    3. Select Generation 2 and next.
    4. Set memory to 8192 or higher and click next.
    5. Select your HyperV LAN connection and click next.
    6. Choose "Use Existing Virtual Hard Disk" and navigate to the supplied VHDX. Click Finish.
    7. Right click on the new Virtual Machine and pick settings.
    8. Increase the number of processors supplied to the VM to at least 4. Click Ok.
    9. Right click on the virtual machine and click start.
  2. Once inside of Windows on the VM
    1. Follow the ReadMe on the desktop.
    2. Once finished with the ReadMe. Click "Start Up The Server" on the desktop. It should start up all the required programs.

Setup HyperV Virtual Switch

Setting up a virtual switch in HyperV is pretty straight forward.
  1. Select "Virtual Switch Manager" and you'll have the choice to create a new virtual switch.
  2. Select "External" from the list and then "Create Virtual Switch".
  3. Set the name of this new switch to "HyperV-LAN"
  4. Select a network adapter from "External Networks". The important part here is if the NIC is dedicated or shared on the machine.
    1. If you plan to share the NIC then check "Allow management operating system to share this network adapter".
    2. If you plan to dedicate a NIC to the switch then do no check "Allow management operating system to share this network adapter" and it will disappear from the host.
  5. Typically if your NIC can support it you want to enable SR-IOV.
  6. Click OK and the window will disappear.
Now you can pick this network in the settings of Any VM under Network Adapter -> Virtual Switch.

VMWare Instructions

The steps for creating a VM differ depending on your version of VMWare

VM v2 Setup

These steps are common between both version of the v2 VM.
If your Start It Up.bat is in C:\COH\bin then your AuthServer will not start. Make sure to place it in C:\COH.
 
@echo off
echo Starting Auth Server
START bin\authserver.exe
TIMEOUT 2
echo Starting DB Server

TIMEOUT 2
echo Starting Launcher Server
START C:\coh\bin\launcher64.exe -noversioncheck
TIMEOUT 2
echo Everything should be launched! Go enjoy COH.
TIMEOUT 10
On your system, start the client from Score (Cityofheroes\score.exe -patchdir score -patchversion 2019.04.19 -auth <VM IP> -noversioncheck
  • You'll need to update the database for your public IP Address, paste the following query into the SQL Manager and execute it:
    • UPDATE cohauth.dbo.server SET ip = 'YOURPUBLICIP' WHERE ID = 1;
  • You'll also need to update C:\COH\data\server\db\servers.cfg
    • RouteIp YOURPUBLICIP
  • If you're feeling frisky update C:\COH\data\server\db\loadBalanceShardSpecific.cfg
    • HostRange 192.168.1.0 192.168.1.255
