Contact server emulator

[Rejedai]

I found a project trying to bring back the functionality of contracts in hitman absolution. Project is at an early stage, but anyone with skills can help in the development.

I'm lost with the installation :/
I've download "Hitman-5-Server-master" (ZIP file), i've extracted it. I've moved the files in the BIN folder to the HMA game folder (dinput8.dll and Hook.ini).

What i do after ?
Do I need software in addition to the downloaded files?

download the server from this page:

https://github.com/LennardF1989/Hitman-5-Server/releases/tag/v1.0.0

there is an .exe file to run the server and if that don't work, install .NET SDK from here:

All done, but i have this error message : "Unhandled exception. System.InvalidOperationException: Unable to configure HTTPS endpoint."

I've installed ".NET6 SDK" too.

then try this:

If you get a error on starting the server you need to install the .NET6 SDK and run a command line "dotnet dev-certs https" to allow it to work
ONLY DO THIS IF THE SERVER GIVES A ERROR ON STARTING IT
the error name is
Unhandled exception. System.InvalidOperationException: Unable to configure HTTPS endpoint.

Thanks for help, i need to unlock 2 achievements : get one million cash and play a friend"s contract.

OK the HTTPS error is caused by the HTTPS line in the "appsettings.json" you can fix this by just changing it from HTTPS to HTTP and the error goes away, so people no longer need to install the SDK, the program will run without it,
And KeaRoZz you can get the play a friends contract by doing as this post says

anyone willing to help me with friends contract achievement?

Pick a friend from your friend list. Put their name in
https://www.steamidfinder.com/

Then copy and paste the "steamID64 (Dec)" number into "appsettings.json".
Replace the number after MockedContractSteamId with your friends ID.

any friend will do, they dont even need to own the game.
The money one is a little harder since you need to be able to compile code, i will try and do a build later with this already done but if you want to attempt it yourself if you have .NET6.0 SDK still installed you can install VSCode and OPEN FOLDER and find the SRC folder then edit the HitmanController_GetUserOverviewData.cs to give yourself more money then click Run and Start Debugging at the top (then u can close VS code and a new debug version will exist in the SERVER folder under BIN, any questions feel free to ask.

The HTTPS thing is unintented, I'll publish a new version.

I'll also increase the amount of money to a million.

[LennardF1989]

Here you go: https://github.com/LennardF1989/Hitman-5-Server/releases/tag/v1.0.1 - Also included instructions. If you need to recompile the server for anything, let me know. This is not something non-programmers should have to do. Rather, I should be the one to include the proper options for the masses :)

I've finished a contract with the method for "friends" and i don't get the achievement :/
For the money, what line of code i need to change ? (i use notepad ++)

make sure the steam id is your friend, steam users can have the same name, I made a mistake for the first time and it turned out the ID wasn't my friend. Check the name in the browser url of the steam profile

for the money change walletamount in appsetings,json (download the latest version from today)

1.01 is out and yes it fixes most of the bugs, great work LennardF1989
I will point out if you are using the Portable version you need the .NET6 runtime and also the "ASP.NET Core Runtime" if you don't install both it will probably instantly close.
But the HTTPS bug is fixed and you can now change money for the achievement in the appsettings.json so now pretty much everyone can get all achievements.

I will also add the "Windows-x64.zip" seems to work fine without the runtimes so if you dont wish to install ASP.NET Core Runtime (and possibly .net6 runtime) you can just use that version.

I wrote a guide, thanks to LennardF1989, DevilDwarf and Venom

Thanks for all, i've finished this game after lots of years :D

[LennardF1989]

All versions except for the portable one are "self-contained", and don't need to have anything installed for them to work :)
