The purpose of this CSS script to expand the leaderboard to be wider for a better viewing experience. **This CSS script will only affect Hitman 2 Category Extensions leaderboard**, assuming you follow the instructions below carefully.

1. Install Stylus here by selecting "Add to Chrome": https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/stylus/clngdbkpkpeebahjckkjfobafhncgmne?hl=en

2. It may be helpful now to pin Stylus to Chrome taskbar so you can more easily access it for the next steps.

8. If you wish to customize this CSS further, you can do so by redoing step 5-6, and editing the code to your liking. The code has been commented to show which parts are necessary for wider leaderboards and which parts are more subjective.

Beginner FAQ- Read this guide first, if you are new to the game

Q: What should I buy, what do the different editions mean?
A: You can buy any combination of DLC you like, but to compete at the top level with other NG+ runs (more on this later), you will want to buy the Hitman 2 gold edition + GOTY Legacy Pack, or Hitman 2 Standard edition + Expansion Pass + GOTY Legacy Pack. If you owned HITMAN (2016), you may be eligible to redeem the GOTY Legacy Pack for free, more information here: https://www.ioi.dk/hitman-legacy-faq/

Q: Do I need to be connected to the Internet at all times to speedrun this game?
A: Yes, you will need to be connected to the Internet. The reason for this is that without the online servers, you cannot get to a rating screen to get an accurate measure of the in-game time. 

Q: I don't want to unlock stuff before I speedrun, where is the "New Game"/ "Fresh file" category?
A: The main leaderboards are NG+ by default. There isn't a *true* New Game speedrun category due to 2 main factors. Firstly, all progress is stored online, and you can only wipe an account's progress every 6 months through IO's website. Secondly, not all platforms support easy family sharing to make multiple accounts without paying multiple times for the game (and in any case, it would be a pain in the ass to make a new account for each attempt).
* There is a category in Category Extensions that comes close to simulating a New Game experience, you can check the leaderboards [here](https://www.speedrun.com/hitman_2_extensions/full_game). Click on "Default Loadout/Start" and then click "View Rules" if confused about the rules. 
* "Default Loadout/Start" is not a pure NG category, with some minor NG+ categories allowed, but it is pretty close.

Q: Okay, say I'm willing to try the NG+ categories, how do I level up quickly to get the item and starting location unlocks?
A: First of all, take a look at [this list of unlocks](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1564548508) first, so you know what you need to do to get a certain item. 
* In general, to level up mastery you should first get The Classics challenges (SASO, Sniper Assassin) done first, as you can get many challenges done in one run. Note that for the most part, **any other challenge besides The Classics do not require you to finish the level to get XP**. 
* Thus, for other challenges, the most efficient way to get XP is to make a save right before critical points in a run, such as after you have a target isolated. Then you can load the save multiple times to complete multiple challenges. Note that the mastery level can take a while to update if you don't finish the mission, go to Career->Mastery from main menu to get a more accurate look at your current mastery level. Note that if you dislike the in game challenges, you technically can get XP just by playing the game normally, it will just take way longer to level up.

Q: What are the optimal in-game settings to run the game?
A: Go to Options> Gameplay. Turn on Difficulty HUD (for verification purposes), Silent Assassin HUD (to see what rating you have at all times), Timer HUD (helps for timing certain kills). For Miami, you may also want to turn Simulation Quality in Graphics Settings to Base, to avoid rendering some racetrack flags.

Q: How do I set up livesplit for full game runs?
A: We use in game time for this game, so you should consider using [Livesplit Manual Game Time](http://livesplit.org/components/) to enter in the in game time for each level manually. Be sure to read the rules for Full Game leaderboard carefully first as well.

Q: I am having trouble with X trick/ have a question about the leaderboard rules, can anyone help me?
A: Consider asking in [Frotes Speedrun Community](https://discord.com/invite/kVMBEZA) or [Main Missions Discord](https://discord.com/invite/ZbdCskE5pe). For more general advice, you can also consider looking at the [other guides](https://www.speedrun.com/hitman_2/guides). For questions about the rules, you can either ask in the above Discord servers, or contact a moderator directly (go to Profile -> Message, or use the moderator's social media).
