How To Fish Social Panel

A pop-up friends panel for How To Fish: see your Steam friends and their status, quickly join or invite them to your lobby, and add friends who aren't on your Steam friends list via a shareable code.

Features

• Steam Friends — tab showing your Steam friends list: avatar, status (in-game / online / offline), and JOIN/INVITE buttons whenever a friend is currently in this game's lobby.
• Code Friends — for players who aren't on your Steam friends list. Every player gets a unique code like nekocode-XXXX-XXXX that can be copied and shared — sending it lets another player friend-request you directly in-game (P2P, no server required).
• Friend Requests — tab for incoming and outgoing requests: accept, decline, or cancel.
• Lobby Invites — separate tab with an unread-count badge and a one-click join button.
• Notifications — toast pop-ups in the corner of the screen for new requests and invites.
• Draggable panel — position is saved between sessions.
• F4 — show/hide the panel.

Installation Mod Manager / r2modman

• Find How To Fish FriendList in the mod list and click Install.

Manual

• Make sure BepInEx 5.4.2100 is installed for How To Fish.
• Extract the mod archive into BepInEx/plugins.
• Launch the game.

Usage

• Launch the game — a tabbed panel appears in the bottom-right corner of the screen.
• The Steam Friends tab populates automatically with your Steam friends.
• To add a friend who isn't on Steam: open the Add Friend tab, copy your code with the Copy button, and send it to your friend. They paste your code into the field and hit Send Request.
• Accept the request under Add Friend → Pending Requests.
• Press F4 to toggle the panel.

Requirements

• BepInEx 5.4.2100 (BepInExPack)

Known Limitations

• The code-friend system only works while both players are online at the same time (requests are sent as Steam P2P packets, no central server) — an offline player only receives the request/acceptance notification the next time they launch the game and a P2P session is re-established.
• INVITE/JOIN only work while you or your friend are currently in a lobby for this game.
