Setup Guide for HITMAN World of Assasination

Required Software

• MultiworldGG
• Hitman World of Assassination from either Steam or Epic Games Store
  • Any Edition is compatible, except for "HITMAN World of Assassination Episode: Sapienza" and the Demo "HITMAN Free Starter Pack"
• Peacock
• The Archipelago Plugin for Peacock and the Hitman APworld

Optional software

• Hitman AP Tracker, for use with PopTracker

Installation

Peacock

If you already have installed Peacock, it is still recommended to install a seperate instance for MultiworldGG, as the obtaining of items and unlocks will mess with your Peacock progression.

More information about the installation can be found on the Peacock website

1. Download the latest version of Peacock.
2. Unzip the files into an easily accessible place.
   • Do not place them in the game folder or the "Program Files" folder of Windows.
3. In that unziped folder run both Start Server.cmd and PeacockPatcher.exe.
4. Start Hitman to verify it worked. The Main Menu should feature a Panel stating "Powered by The Peacock Project".
5. Close Start Server.cmd and place archipelago.plugin.js in the plugins-folder.
6. Run Start Server.cmd again. The Server Console should feature a line with the text [Info | Archipelago Plugin] Plugin Loading.

APworld

To install the APworld, simply double click it or drag and drop it into the running Archipelago Launcher. Alternatively, you can choose the option Install APWorld in the MultiworldGG Launcher or drop the .apworld file into the custom_world-folder in your Archipelago install. This is not needed if you use MultiworldGG.

After installing, restart the Launcher and HITMAN World of Assassination Client should appear as an option in the Client list.

If your Peacock Server is not running locally on your machine, you must change the address that the Client uses to connect to Peacock in the host.yaml of your MultiworldGG installation.

Joining a Multiworld

1. Run both Start Server.cmd and PeacockPatcher.exe from the folder where Peacock is installed
2. Run the MultiworldGG Launcher and choose HITMAN World of Assassination Client in the Client list.
3. Enter room's address and port (e.g. multiworld.gg:12345) into the top text field of the client and click Connect.
4. Enter your slot name.
5. Start Hitman from the Launcher of your choice. Your unlocked Levels can be found under Campaigns > Archipelago.
   • If you recieved a level while in the main menu, the campaigns tab will not update unless you enter and leave a level, or click "Go Offline" and then "Go Online" in the main menu.

Uninstalling

To play Hitman unmodified, simply launch Hitman without having PeacockPatcher.exe open to connect to official IOI Servers.

To play Hitman with Peacock but without MultiworldGG, simply delete archipelago.plugin.js from the plugins-folder and Launch Hitman with PeacockPatcher.exe and Start Server.cmd open.
