Setup

First you need to get the 1.52.0.1700 client. This is the final released version of Marvel Heroes, If you still have the game in your Steam library, you can download it from there.

Note: it is also possible to download other versions of the client from Steam. See ClientVersions.md for details.

After getting the client, you need to set up a web server to serve SiteConfig.xml and redirect login requests. For this guide we're going to use Apache.

  1. Download Apache 2.4.x OpenSSL 1.1.1 VS17 here. You can use any other version of Apache you prefer, as long as it has OpenSSL support enabled.

  2. Extract the Apache24 folder in the archive to the root directory on any drive (e.g. C:\Apache24).

  3. Open Apache24\conf\httpd.conf with any text editor and uncomment (by removing the # symbol) the following three lines: LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so, LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so, and LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so.

  4. Open Apache24\conf\extra\httpd-ahssl.conf with any text editor, find the <VirtualHost _default_:443> section, and add the following two lines to it: RewriteEngine on and RewriteRule ^/AuthServer(.*) http://%{HTTP_HOST}:8080$1 [P].

  5. Put SiteConfig.xml provided in this repository in Apache24\htdocs.

  6. Open ClientConfig.xml located in Marvel Heroes\Data\Configs with any text editor and replace the SiteConfigLocation value with localhost/SiteConfig.xml. The line should look like this: <str name="SiteConfigLocation" value="localhost/SiteConfig.xml" />.

  7. Compile MHServerEmu with Visual Studio or any other tool you prefer. You can download Visual Studio Community here.

  8. Copy Calligraphy.sip and mu_cdata.sip located in Marvel Heroes\Data\Game to MHServerEmu\Assets\GPAK. Make sure to copy these files to where your compiled emulator is (e.g. src\MHServerEmu\bin\x64\Debug\net6.0\Assets\GPAK), and not to one of the source directories.

Now you can actually start everything and get in-game.

  1. Start Apache by running Apache24\bin\httpd.exe. The Apache window is supposed to be empty, this is normal.

  2. Start MHServerEmu.

  3. Launch the game.

  4. Log in with any email and password.

If everything works correctly, the server should display client connection information.

Note: you can launch the game without Steam by running MarvelHeroesOmega.exe with the following arguments: -robocopy -nosteam.

You can customize how the emulator functions, including changing your starter hero, by editing the Config.ini file. See SetupAdvanced.md for more advanced setup topics.
