HitCounterManager - A Dark Souls inspired Hit Counter

Free Hit Counter that is running in the background, so you can focus on your stream.
No need to keep any windows open for a window capture any more.
Initially designed for Dark Souls but supports any game.
Just add the local HTML file to you broadcasting software and the setup is done.
Works completely offline, no account or login required.

Key-Features

• Offline application
• No window capture needed for stream integration
• Hot key support for seamless use ingame (Windows only)
• Easy to use profile management
• On the fly configurable design
• Configurable keyboard hot keys that can easily be used while playing
• One single save file for all settings and profiles: HitCounterManagerSave.xml

  Note: The settings will be kept when upgrading on newer versions. I try my best keeping it backwards compatible that you can still load an upgraded save file on older versions.

• Create profiles for each challenge or game or build a sequence of runs (called succession) like for the Dark Souls trilogy
• Dark Mode (not the best looking but hey: its dark)
• Timer (including current, PB and gold split times)
• Customizable designs (Find some examples at the Wiki pages)

Addons

There are addons available now, e.g.:

• The LiveSplit plugin LiveSplit.HitCounterManagerConnector
  • Automatically selecting the HCM splits and restarts a new run when LiveSplit is doing so either due to AutoSplitter or manual input.
• The HitCounterManager plugin AutoSplitterCore for HCM
  • Adds AutoSplitting and InGameTime directly into HitCounterManager without requiring LiveSplit

Systemrequirements

• OS: Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003 or newer (32/64 bit)
  • Portable version (ZIP)
    • .Net Framework 2.0 or newer

    Note: Version 1.13 and older requires .Net Framework 4.5 or newer

  • Installer version (Setup)
    • .Net Framework 4.8 or newer

    Note: Version 1.20 and older requires .Net Framework 4.5 or newer

• OS: Any (32/64 bit)

  Note: This version is not supporting global hot keys

  • Portable version (Tar ball)
    • Running with Mono (tested with 5.14.0)
      Start the application in the application's directory with mono HitCounterManager.exe

      Note: Mono supports 32 bit mode only (therefore it cannot be run on OS without 32 bit support!)

In case your non-Windows OS is no longer supporting 32 bit Mono then this application will not run!
However, there is a new HitCounterManager in development (version 2.x) that can be used instead.
Please have a look at the v2.x branch or find pre-compiled development builds here.
