Introduction

I'm just the author of the guide, server developer is LennardF1989, send all thanks to him.

1. Starting the server

Only on Windows

Download archive: https://github.com/LennardF1989/Hitman-5-Server/releases/download/v1.2.2/Windows-x64.zip and unpack to any directory.

Only on Linux

Download archive: https://github.com/LennardF1989/Hitman-5-Server/releases/download/v1.2.2/Linux-x64.zip and unpack.

Editing the config, WIndows and Linux

Before launching, need to edit appsettings.json in directory with server executable:

{ "Kestrel": { "Endpoints": { "Http": { "Url": "http://localhost:40147" } } }, "Options": { "FixAddMetricsContentType": true, "EnableRequestLogging": true, "EnableRequestBodyLogging": false, "EnableResponseBodyLogging": false, "MockedContractSteamId": "76xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", "WalletAmount": 1999999, "UseCustomContracts": false } }

1. If some service is running on port 40147, you can replace it with any other in Url section, but if you want to play other players contracts, I don't recommend doing it.
2. In MockedContractSteamId replace 76xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx to any friend steamID64 (for Partners in Crime achievement). You can ask a friend to give numbers from here: https://steamhost.cn/account/.
3. In WalletAmount need to put a value greater than 1000000 (for Set for Life achievement).
4. You can set true in UseCustomContracts, if you want to play contracts of other players. Then you will have to save money from scratch and ask a friend to share the contract.
5. Save.

Starting the server

On windows launch HM5.Server.exe.

On Linux HM5.Server (don't forget to add the execution permission)

chmod +x HM5.Server

Server started!

2. Launching Сontracts in the game

1. Download archive: https://github.com/LennardF1989/Hitman-5-Server/releases/download/v1.2.2/Hook.zip, unzip dinput8.dll and hook.ini to game root.

2. Edit hook.ini:

[options] enabled=true log=true ;Can be set to either hm5 or sniper game=hm5 [hm5] webserviceurl=http://localhost:40147/hm5 skiplauncher=true [sniper] webserviceurl=http://localhost:40147/sniper

In webserviceurl set port from appsettings.json.

2.9 (linux only) Set in Launch opitons:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES=dinput8=n,b %command%

3. Launch the game, Сontracts should work

3. Launching contracts of other players.

Join LennardF1989 discord https://discord.gg/5WW3C3G2M3.

In the #share-contacts[discord.com] channel you can find links to create contracts, open it and contract should appear in the game.

You can see the list of contacts at the link: http://localhost:40147/contracts

Achievements

With this server, you can unlock all achievements.

Contender

Lots of questions about the Contender achievement, to get it you need to run in Quick Play -> Find Contrats -> FakeContract48

Special Thanks

Thanks for the research DevilDwarf and Venom.

After earning some currency after completing the tutorial, I closed the game and server and reopened them. Nothing saved. Why is this?

when I want to download a contract I click on it and then it goes to a website this is the URL :http://localhost:40147/contracts/create/G8oCwJwFdjvHR0qbNpZ2Zy77zuVW6mR-g1O5N2VTdI6bS5WR6c9vahnzi6YOS1eIDN7k4QDtPH_YPRTQuYALLOE04cRjDDDTk0aDxVzxtyJ6QRr23iqiYFNAmANCBXTRRc4gJFmx6L2NqpXZCPVsIEzqtKHaY6GxeicIF2hWv7N5RHfDP1D6VFC1JwJn5FfyNvm-SO38mtF91a9_pJloHZYw9FBDFDyE71uROBfC-TBUN_1BFm-pYFg53mKYouUB-jx3a1YG2_sS-iLf-s9SqV1MvY-TQKY43tKcEgW9yhGsSLBqn3anBgf66-5-yEN5hwNsDRHgMcE2EgZxRBtcJAZhZtRMFYlNGaSMx31uERI3r04iel5rKHAQpwCt-gE
