IMPORTANT NOTES
Social menu interface (overlay.swf) file CAN NOT be loaded the same way as other mods by adding separate .ba2 file in your load order.
It must be included in main "SeventySix - Interface.ba2" file so there is included patcher inside zip file.
That means that this mod CAN NOT be installed with any Mod manager.



INSTALLATION
If you have knowledge of repacking with Archive2 you can install it manually, just make sure to make a backup of original interfaces file:
1. Open Archive2
2. File > Open...
3. Navigate to Fallout76/Data and select SeventySix - Interface.ba2
4. Drag and drop interfaces folder from ImprovedSocialMenuPatch to opened archive
5. File > Save
6. Done.

Or by running patch script:
1. Extract ImprovedSocialMenuPatch folder from zip archive to your Fallout 76/Data folder
2. Open extracted folder: Fallout 76/Data/ImprovedSocialMenuPatch
3. Run ImprovedSocialMenuPatch_PATCH.bat
4. Done.

Note for patch script: it will make backup of your Interfaces file currently in Fallout76/Data so if you're updating existing version of mod to latest one, run ImprovedSocialMenuPatch_UPDATE.bat so it first reverts changes to default and then installs new version.
DO NOT RUN UPDATE SCRIPT IF YOU'RE UPDATING MOD AFTER NEW GAME UPDATE - USE PATCH SCRIPT.

Patch script will automatically:
Make a backup of existing "SeventySix - Interface.ba2" file
Extract all interfaces from original file
Overwrite original "overlay.swf" with the modified one
Repack all interfaces
Copy patched "SeventySix - Interface.ba2" to your Fallout 76/Data folder
Remove temporary files used for repacking

If patching was successfull this is what result will look like:
C:\...\Fallout76\Data\ImprovedSocialMenuPatch>copy "..\SeventySix - Interface.ba2" "SeventySix - Interface.ba2.bak"
1 file(s) copied.
C:\...\Fallout76\Data\ImprovedSocialMenuPatch>Archive2\archive2.exe "..\SeventySix - Interface.ba2" -quiet -extract="Archive2\data"
C:\...\Fallout76\Data\ImprovedSocialMenuPatch>copy /Y "interface\overlay.swf" "Archive2\data\interface\overlay.swf"
1 file(s) copied.
C:\...\Fallout76\Data\ImprovedSocialMenuPatch>Archive2\archive2.exe Archive2\data\ -quiet -compression=None -create="SeventySix - Interface.ba2"
C:\...\Fallout76\Data\ImprovedSocialMenuPatch>copy /Y "SeventySix - Interface.ba2" "..\SeventySix - Interface.ba2"
1 file(s) copied.
C:\...\Fallout76\Data\ImprovedSocialMenuPatch>rmdir /S /Q Archive2\data
C:\...\Fallout76\Data\ImprovedSocialMenuPatch>del /Q "SeventySix - Interface.ba2"
C:\...\Fallout76\Data\ImprovedSocialMenuPatch>pause
Press any key to continue . . .



CUSTOMIZATION
Customization is optional and config file - ImprovedSocialMenuConfig.json - is not required. Default values for each option are listed below.
If you want to customize config, copy ImprovedSocialMenuConfig.json from ImprovedSocialMenuPatch folder to your Fallout76/Data folder.
If config file is present, it will be read every 10 seconds and all changes will be applied.
Note: Changes may not apply while in main menu, and some changes, like hiding players, won't be applied until player list refreshes.

Fixed player selection jumping when trying to join another player's world is enabled by default and isn't customizable.
