The Peacock Project is a HITMAN World of Assassination Trilogy server

replacement.

The primary purpose is preservation of the game, but it also adds new features

and

content to the game, and allows for other enhancements to be made while in

online mode.



## Installation



Install [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/). Use the Latest version, or the

version

specifically mentioned here: **Version 22.9.0**



Clone the repository where-ever you wish.



Open Windows terminal **AS ADMINISTRATOR**.



Install Yarn, by typing:



> corepack enable



Then move to the folder where you cloned the repo to by using:



> cd Folder/Path/Here



then install the dependencies by using:



> yarn install



## Usage



The project is bundled with a server running configuration.

Run that when editing the project with the IDE of choice, and it should open.



We highly suggest you use [WebStorm](https://www.jetbrains.com/webstorm/) for

development, which is free for non-commercial use.

If you'd prefer, you can also use [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/).

WebStorm will provide a better experience for development, but VSCode will work

just fine.



## Contributing



To contribute, you can use Pull Requests from your own fork. You can fix bugs

reported in issues or add new features you think would be useful, new features

not listed in issues would have to be discussed before merging.



### Localisation



#### Automated



The Peacock repository has an automated workflow to rebuild locale packages.

All you need to do to update localisation files is:



1. Edit `locale.json`.

    - If you're adding new strings, make sure to add the English versions to

      all languages.

    - If you're translating existing strings, you only need to translate the

      ones that are in the language(s) you are translating.

2. Then push `locale.json`.

3. Then, make a Pull Request. When it is reviewed and merged, locale packages

   will automatically be rebuilt.



#### Manual



If you need to manually rebuild locale packages for whatever reason (testing

or otherwise), follow steps 1 and 2 above, then do the following:



1. Make sure `rpkg_cli.exe`, `HMLanguageTools.exe`, and `ResourceLib_*.dll` are

   in the `resources` folder.

2. Then, from the root project folder, run `yarn rebuild-locale`.

3. These generated RPKGs should **not** be pushed or merged into Peacock as

   the automated workflow will take care of this for you.



Thank you to people who have contributed!
