Menu UI Fixes and Improvements - Alternate Addon Browser

Description
A vanilla-style menu improvement mod. This addon is essentially a "best-of" the most useful menu fixes and features that I've either made myself or adopted from other mods that retain the original look of the game's UI. It dates back to before the TLS update so some of the changes became obsolete or redundant. When I've borrowed things from other modders, I have provided credits below. Almost all borrowed work has been edited by me, at least in some capacity. There are too many changes 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.
  • Realism and Survival single-player option
  • 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.

If anyone's wondering, the icons used for the new menu options are Singleplayer and Splitscreen, they're vanilla ones so they're quite easy to replace if your an autist like me and using a mod to replace icons, did it myself here https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3264108513

This mod's great, it reminds me of SkyUI for Skyrim by making the UI much better for PC.

Why there isn't an "all games" browser in vanillia I have no idea, it's something you'd think would have been added awhile ago, would make mutations far more active.

Nice, mate, the idea is awesome. Now that's a real list of public games. GG!

No. I've already addressed that conflict. My add-on applies to all languages, that add-on is English only. For better compatibility for our Spanish, Chinese, Korean, Brazilian, etc. players, I've opted to keep this all-language friendly.
