v1.0.0

Hey everyone!

This project has been gaining some traction, for which I would like to thank everyone. I'm happy to announce that the The Peacock Project team, known for the Hitman World of Assassination server replacement, has commenced initial work on a community server for Hitman Absolution and Hitman Sniper Challenge, based on the research done in this project. Their project is called Cobra, please keep an eye on it and join the Peacock Discord server to stay in touch.

Because a first live version might be a while away, I decided to add a little bit of additional configuration to allow users to set the SteamID that is used as the owner of the mocked contract/competition. As it currently stands, this should allow someone to unlock all Contract-related achievements.

To make it even easier, I already pre-compiled the server to a binary. That way, you don't even have to mess with the code! Just download the ZIP, extract it, adjust the appsettings.json to your liking and start the server by double-clicking the executable. Keep in mind, it needs to use port 80 and port 443, so if you have applications running that claim those ports for themselves (eg. IIS), you have to close those. Obviously, don't forget to drop the dinput8.dll and hook.ini in the game folders!

Good luck 47, I will leave you to prepare.
