Description:

2HOL Helper provides background QOL utilities to use while playing Two Hours One Life (2HOL). This includes things like quickly opening up the online crafting guide as well as easily creating timers for in-game tasks.

This project works by running in the background while you are playing and providing extra hotkeys (described below) far various functions.

Example of when this might be useful... I have the bad habbit of forgetting about my planted carrots in game and letting them go to seed. With this tool I can plant and water my carrots, then press T > 4 > ENTER (Actually the timer defaults to 4, so I really only have to press T > ENTER). This starts a 4 minute timer (time for carrots to grow) that shows on screen and does not need to be canceled when done. It just gives a little reminer so I don't forget my carrots. And yes, I did basically program this whole thing so my carrots and tree saplings wouldn't die (and because I like to program) LOL.

Compatability:

• Windows 11
• Windows 10 (most likely)
• Not sure about older Windows versions, Apple, or Linux, sorry :(

Installation:

• Download and unzip the "2HOL-Helper.zip" file and copy the resulting folder somewhere on your system
• Double click the "setup.exe" file and navigate to and select your 2HOL game folder (Where this is on your system will depend on where it was placed when 2HOL was first installed, it is the folder that contains your "OneLife.exe" file. The folder name should look something like "2HOL_v220515164250" unless the name was changed manually when it was installed.)
• You can then decide if you would like a desktop or start menu shortcut to the to 2HOL Helper program, click "Finish" and you are good to go
• When you are ready to play 2HOL open the "2HOL Helper.exe" file to launch your game (or use one of the shortcuts you may have created above).
• Your first time opening, you may want to take a look at the program settings (see section below) to make sure the timer position and sound settings are to your liking.

Uninstallation:

• This program requires no special procedures to uninstall. Simply deleting the folder and shortcuts will remove the program and all its settings from your computer. (Deleting the 2HOL-Helper folder will not affect your regular 2HOL game.)

Current User Functionality:

HOTKEYS: While in game the following hotkeys are active:

• T ---------- This will set a timer for a given number of minutes
• C ---------- Cancel any active timers
• G ---------- This will take you to the online TwoTech crafting guide
• ESC -------- Minimize the crafting guide and switch back to the game (Only works while in the guide)

MENU: Right click on the 2HOL Helper tray icon (bottom right of the screen next to the clock, you may have to click the ^ icon to see it) and use one of the following menu items:

• Pause ------ This will pause or unpause all hotkeys for the 2HOL Helper program
• Settings --- Can be used to edit some of the settings such as timer position or timer volume
• Exit ------- Close the background program manually (does not close your 2HOL game)

Thanks, hope you enjoy! :)
