i26 Self Installer

• i26 Self Installer

A version of the self installer for those who wanted i25p2 (i26), the latest version of SCoRE that we have available.

Self installer

Introduction

This package has been created in response to the need for an easy to deploy version of COH server which can be set up on an existing system. This has been developed and actively tested on Server 2012r2, Server 2016 and Windows 10. The installer should work on any server version 2012 and above, and any windows Version 8 and above, it will work with 64bit operating systems only.

It is based on SCoRE i25p2

How to install

Within the COH directory you will find this ReadMe.txt file along with an InitialSetup.bat script, unzip the whole contents of the zip file into a folder on your computer. Run the InitialSetup.bat to start the installation process.

What Initial Setup does

InitialSetup.bat is a script that will prepare your computer to run the COH server, it calls Script.ps1 which performs the following actions.

1. Installs SQL Local DB
2. Installs ODBC v13 for SQL
3. Installs ODBC v17 for SQL
4. Installs SQL command line tools
5. Installs C++ Runtimes (2015 - 2019)
6. Creates the SQL databases for COH
7. Creates a default instance of COH called Ouroboros
8. Adds firewall rules for the server

After install

In the COH folder after install you will find shortcuts to:

Configure_Your_Server

This allows you to set / change the IP address and Server name for your server, by default this is set for local computer play, but this can be changed to LAN or Internet play through this menu, the default server name is Ouroboros

Account_Tool

This launches a slightly modified version of the COHDBTool10 which allows you to create accounts for your server and manage existing accounts, characters and petitions. Note: This will only work after you have loaded the server for the first time as the server builds the database this application needs.

Startup_Server

This script launches the server without any maps pre-loaded. Users may experience a short delay on entering into a new zone for the first time as the server loads the requested map.

Startup_Server_All_Maps

This script launches the server with all of the listed maps. This enables your players to zone more quickly, but uses a lot more memory in your server, recommended for systems with 32GB of RAM or more.

Stop_Server

This script shuts down the server applications.

Client

This script launches the client and connects it to your server.

Playing on other computers

Share the Client directory with anyone you would like to be able to connect to your server, they will need to create a shortcut to ouroboros.exe with -auth <yourip> -patchdir ouro -noversioncheck in the target path.

SQL Details

The connection string of your DB is (LocalDB)\MSSQLLocalDB with a trusted connection.
