HITMAN 3 Mod Framework

This is a mod for HITMAN 3 on PC. You need to purchase and install the game separately from this mod. The screenshot shows a possible level selection screen after installing content packs, which are available separately.

A framework for conflict-free mod installation, including a convenient way to add offline content packs to the game.

This mod enables you to install mods that support being re-generated for your individual installation of the game. For players, this enables mods to remain compatible with other mods and game updates. For modders, this permits to automatize repeating tasks and simplify updates.

The framework comes with a mod to add content that will be available offline, without replacing anything. You can mix-and-match framework-compatible content packs as you see fit. Modders can also use the framework to easily build rpkg files for regular installation: the framework automatically handles many registration tasks, like updating registries and menus.

A different example is my offline scoring mod: if you install it through the framework, it can dynamically add scoring models to missions provided by other mods, so you can enjoy scoring even on modded missions without any compatibility patches. You can download mods on their own pages, available mods include:

• Offline Scoring: enables scoring in offline mode and adds support for missions with custom scoring rules
• Clean Offline UI: hides online-only menu items unless you're online
• Skip Logos: enter the main menu immediately after starting the game

How to install / add more content?

Download content packs and drop them into 2 Offline Content\contentpacks\, then double-click on the update script.

If you're still searching for new content:

• Poisonous Item Pack: more poison-related items
• Unrestricted Loadouts: mission planning on all maps
• Random Targets: dynamic missions to eliminate a number of random targets
• Content packs without their own pages: includes offline elusives, escalations, custom contracts and more

If you are a modder and want to use the framework, download the modder tools below and read its readme. For offline content, it mostly boils down to placing your resources in the right folders and using the framework's tools when referencing other resources in the content pack.

Translations

The framework has translation support. Bundled content currently comes with the following translations:

• French by Pouncha
• Chinese by WINNODD

If you want to translate bundled content to a different language or want to improve existing translations, edit the files in Framework\2 Offline Content\translations and send me the resulting file.

Credits: The mod framework includes rpkg-cli from the amazing rpkg project that enables HITMAN modding in the first place, ResourceTool from the equally amazing ZHMTools project that gives modders access to large parts of the engine and a copy of Python to permit you to run it without installing anything.
