-Adds new menus to support additional missions, including custom mission briefings and an option to load the campaign from the house select screen.
-Does not replace any existing files, making it 100% compatible with the original game
-String file entries are unique and also do not replace any existing game data
-Added button to select a difficulty when using the Mission Select, this will allow you to play a loaded mission on the difficulty of your choosing (default was Normal)

This is also a test of the new patch system, so if you have an issue with it, please let me know. All feedback is appreciated. More information on Rise of the Mercenaries can be found here.

I have included both the regular patch and the updated combined patch below. In order to ensure that users are installing the most up to date version, I have replaced the previous combined patch with the new one. If you have no idea which patch to install, choose the combined patch.
Combined Patch 1.6.1.1 (includes all previous patches as well)
