CH v1.0 Online

[Public Servers]
Clone Hero v1.0 has many public servers available to join, with no setup required. Select Join Server in the Online menu to use them.
The first player to join a server becomes the host. The host can use chat commands to add a password, configure settings such as min/max song speed and song count per player, and kick players. Use \help in the lobby chat for a full list.


[Hosting Your Own Server]
1. Learn how to port forward: https://www.noip.com/support/knowledgebase/general-port-forwarding-guide/
 - Clone Hero defaults to port 14242, but can use most other ports.
 - Make sure to use the UDP protocol (or UDP/TCP), just TCP doesn't work.
 - Alternatively, if your router supports UPnP, you don't have to do anything other than create the server, and the port will be forwarded automatically.
1a. If you are unable to port forward or use UPnP, you may also use a tunneler such as LogMeIn Hamachi. See this pastebin for a tutorial on Hamachi: https://pastebin.com/Hc6D6Dp3
2. Open Clone Hero, go to Online, and select Create Server.
3. Enter in a server name, port (if you port forwarded, use the one you forwarded), and optionally, password.
4. Click Continue to create the server.
5. Get your public IP (use a site such as https://www.ipchicken.com/) and give it to the person you want to play with.

The default settings for your server can be configured in Settings > Gameplay. Some of these settings can also be configured by using commands in the lobby chat, use \help for a list.


[Joining A Server via IP Address]
1. Get the public IP of the person you want to join.
1a. If they are using Hamachi, you will also need to join their Hamachi network. See this pastebin for details: https://pastebin.com/Hc6D6Dp3
2. Open Clone Hero, go to Online, select Join Server, and press Orange to add a server.
3. Enter in the IP address, port, and password (if set) for the server you wish to join.
4. Click Continue to join the server.


[Troubleshooting]
"Connection failed"
 - Make sure Clone Hero is allowed in your firewall settings.
 - If the server is being hosted by a player, double check that they port forwarded using the UDP protocol.
 - Ensure that all players are running the same version of the game.

"Connection failed, even though it worked before"
 - The host might have a dynamic IP. Check if it changed, and update the IP if it did.

"Songs are greyed out even though all players have them"
 - Ensure that the songs are identical. Any difference in a song's notes file will make it unavailable. If one of the players downloaded a song or setlist much earlier than the rest, your best bet is to redownload it.
 - Make sure you don't all join the server at once. Sometimes song comparison can be incomplete if a player joins too quickly.
 - Try having everyone delete their song cache and rescan their songs. You may find it here, under the file name of songcache.bin:
       Windows: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\srylain Inc_\Clone Hero (press Windows + R and paste in this path to get there quickly)
       Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/com.srylain.CloneHero (press Command + Shift + G and paste in this path to get there quickly)
       Linux: ~/.config/unity3d/srylain Inc_/Clone Hero
 - If the issue persists, ask about it in the Clone Hero discord's #help-line channel for further assistance.
