 Enhancements:
 - Play Solo now uses the current server port (defined in the Host menu.)
 	- This makes it easier to launch Play Solo on some computers.
+- Novetus will now create basic _meta.ini files for games that have badges! They can then be filled out with correct information by map creators and archivists.
 Fixes:
 - Fixed the AwardBadge and HasBadge extensions not working properly.
