About the UI patch
------------------
The UI patch is designed to improve the process of creating and joining games in JA2MP.
Instead of each player needing to manipulate thier .ini file, these options can now be set
from in-game hosting and joining screens. In Addition the process of finishing a game and restarting
has been streamlined.
