Start the program and The Hobbit. Tick any of the checkboxes of the cheats you might want and select any save collection and save combination you might want. Everything else is automatic. Hover your cursor over any cheat to see a description and the assigned hotkey.
To use fly mode you'll have to enable developer mode and hit CTRL + F in game. When flying you can hold N to clip through objects. Unfortunately this isn't rebindable as it's all programmed to work together this way in the game itself.
Only use HobbitSpeedrunTools for practice, make sure to close it and restart your game for real runs
To edit the shortcuts hit the "Open Config" button. Edit the values for every shortcut in the config with the key number you wish to use. The modifier key is the key you hold while pressing the key of the feature you want to use and can be change to ctrl, alt, shift or win.
The default shortcuts are as follows:
| Shortcut | Feature |
|---|---|
| Ctrl & 1 | Toggle Dev Tools |
| Ctrl & 2 | Toggle Infinite Jumpattack |
| Ctrl & 3 | Toggle Render Load Triggers |
| Ctrl & 4 | Toggle Render Other Triggers |
| Ctrl & 5 | Toggle Render Polycache |
| Ctrl & 6 | Toggle Invincibility |
| Ctrl & 7 | Toggle Lock Clipwarp |
| Ctrl & R | Reload Save |
| Ctrl & T | Restart Level |
| Ctrl & G | Trigger Clipwarp |
| Ctrl & + | Next Save |
| Ctrl & - | Previous Save |
| Ctrl & PageUp | Next Save Collection |
| Ctrl & PageDown | Previous Save Collection |
To add your own saves to the save manager follow the following steps:
- Navigate to your
HobbitSpeedrunToolsinstallation and intosave-collections - Create a new folder starting with the following format:
[Number]. [Collection Name]
The number should be the position that you want the collection to appear in, a lower number will appear closer to the top, but make sure every number is only used once. - Move your saves into your newly created folder with the following format:
[Number]. [Save Name].hobbit
The number should be the position that you want the save to appear in, a lower number will appear closer to the top, but make sure every number is only used once.
Note: Make sure that only the .hobbit files and possibly a savesettings.json file are located within your new folder. Any other files might have unexpected results.
Applying cheats to your saves will make it so, when enabled, loading a specific save will also enable whatever cheats you want automatically. This also includes your clipwarp position if Lock Clipwarp or Reload on Lost Warp were to be enabled.
To use this simply tick the "Load applied cheats with save" box in the settings panel and if you load a save that has cheats applied they will be enabled when you switch to that save.
To apply your own cheats you should select your save you want to apply your cheats to, toggle all the cheats you'd like and hit the "Apply Cheats to Save" button in the settings panel. You may also choose to apply these cheats to all the saves in the collection, in which case you can click the "Apply Cheats to Collection" button.
Download the most recent release here. Simply open the zip file and extract the full "HobbitSpeedrunTools" folder the location where you want to keep it. Then you can run the HobbitSpeedrunTools.exe file inside the folder, and you're up and running.
Although the HobbitSpeedrunTools save manager is written to back up your old saves and restore them after use, I can't guarantee that this will always function as expected. Make sure to back up important saves yourself.
Currently new saves that are made while the save manager is active will be discarded when the save manager is disabled or HobbitSpeedrunTools is closed. To avoid this you can disable the save manager before making saves you want to keep.
