-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.
