HKMP rando itemsync

[atomic merlin]

I'm trying to play rando with my friend, and have the items synced. We bought HKMP 3.0 from the creator's patreon, and we're trying to set things up but we can't figure it out.

I've heard the beta isn't compatible with most other mods, but if you can get it working it's with the guide below

?tag hkmpsync

Synchronized HKMP Experience

HKMP allows players to interact with each other, but it does not synchronize the world in any way itself.

• What you can Synchronize, and How.
• The HKMP dev has a Beta of the next update on his Patreon, that implements an entity sync system that he's been working on for over a year.

I see. Well it just says this though:
The game should start normally. Players will still not see each other because you must also set up the HKMP multiplayer mod as normal now. If you’re playing with friends and don’t want to see other people, make sure to create your own HKMP server.

Please don't ping users with the noping role!

the more you know

however, I'm not sure what they mean by "set up HKMP as normal"

The itemsync server is separate from the hkmp server.

like I have the "start multiplayer" option, I can host a save with itemsync and all, but my friend can't join. Even with the correct IP and port (I'm port forwarding), he times out

HKMP Troubleshooting

Make sure you've already looked through the HKMP Guide, or you'll just be told to read it first. For issues with using Skins, enter ?tag hkmpskins into this chat. For information on what you can sync, enter ?tag hkmpsync into this chat.

For help with HKMP, your post must include:

• Detailed explanation of the problem
• What you have tried so far
• Screenshots of the issues / errors (for "Invalid Add-ons", press T in-game to pull up chat and see the problem mods)
• Your Modlog.txt immediately after experiencing the issue (type ?tag modlog into this channel for info on this) (if you're trying to connect with a friend, then you need theirs as well).
• What Operating System you are on
• If you are using a service to connect (such as Hamachi), then a screenshot of the Connection window for it

What exactly do you want to know.

I'm trying to play multiplayer randomizer with a friend, and I want the items to be synced. My problem is essentially that there's too many menus and mods, and not enough clear documentation on this subject it seems. What I've tried so far, many things, couldn't tell you exactly what. We've just tried fucking around with the settings to no avail. We're both on Windows. I'm not using Hamashi or whatever, I'm port forwarding directly on the router.

Now, this "DTLS connection timed out" problem doesn't appear when I tried hosting a normal not rando-ed save. We managed to play together in vanilla at some point, so I'm thinking the issue could be something with rando. But I've seen people play randos together on youtube so surely it's possible

If you've successfully hosted before it may just be, as I initially said, that the beta is not compatible. But I wouldn't expect that to prevent the connection. But I don't play hkmp, let alone the beta.

I think that's the case yeah
