Menu UI Update - No Steam Group Servers, Alternate Addon Browser

Description
A vanilla-style menu improvement mod. This addon combines several useful modifications and fixes to L4D2's menu without changing the basic structure or integrity of the UI. It dates back to before the TLS update so several of the changes became obsolete or redundant. Some of them I have borrowed from other modders, who have all been credited below. Almost all have been, at least in some capacity, edited by me, even if only lightly. There are too many to make a completely comprehensive list but I will mention the following additions:

Main features:
  • All Games Search (experimental, for some reason this might not show all games, but it seems to show more if you cycle through games/lobbies). This feature is a button just to the left of Play Campaign.
  • Server Browser
  • Reformatted add-on browser, campaign browser, mutations browser, friends/steam server browser, and achievement list to better utilize screen space.
  • Splitscreen support
  • Video Options menu now defaults to the expanded "Advanced Settings"
  • Removed Blog Post
  • Hefty in-game menu supplement and Extras menu on the main menu; "Set Lerp to 0" executes the following commands:
cl_cmdrate 100;rate 100000;cl_cmdrate 101;cl_updaterate 101;cl_interp 0;cl_interp_ratio -1

SPLITSCREEN HELP (locally hosting):
1) Connect two controllers to the computer. Set up keybindings manually or find a preset in a guide.
2) Make sure the developer console is enabled.
3) Enter "sv_lan 1" into the dev console before playing (or put this line into your autoexec.cfg file). Because of a bug with the TLS update, splitscreen will give an error message that reads "STEAM validation rejected" if you don't have sv_lan 1.

Could you add a feature that enables the usage of folders? So by using this, I'd be able to make folders for addons (like vanilla/goofy ones), and enable/disable them in groups? That'd be cool

The reason I updated the add-on list in the first place is because the previous one will cause huge overlapping issues of the add-ons themselves once you reach a certain limit. It will look like either of the following images without this update:

I am not, as it seems that it's only a problem on 16:10 resolutions, not 16:9, which is what most people use. What you can do is unsubscribe from this add-on, then subscribe to this:

Finally subscribe back to this current add-on for the other changes if you want. That way the add-on list will load the one that works for your resolution before this one.

Well it's not overlapping, but are you going to fix the issue?
Olde  [author] 5 Sep, 2023 @ 8:30pm 
You can try setting the resolution to a 16:9 aspect ratio (1600x900 should work).

That's okay, it's not just this mod, other mods that expand the addon-list like that also have the same problem

It can't be a hard fix

I see. I recently updated the add-ons menu and it must not scale well to resolutions that aren't 16:9. However, I will send you a friend request and I can send you the build before I added the new add-ons menu so you can still use the old version.

Screen resolution is 1680x1050, it just happened all of a sudden I hadn't gotten a new monitor or anything
