New Options

- MULTIPLAYER
"usePlayerNameOnline", allows player to use their PlayerName when going online instead of Ubi.com login name
"LANPortNumber", Default 2346 allows you to change LAN port
Changing the offline connection port should only be done if you KNOW what you are doing since ONLY machines using the SAME LAN port will be able to see each other to play the game. Changing this setting on a single machine will effectively prevent the machine from playing with others.

"UBIDotComPortNumber",Default 2346. Changing this can help fix router/firewall issues

"LANIPAddress", default "0.0.0.0". Mostly for tech people (not recommended unless you know what you are doing)

"UBIIPAddress", default "0.0.0.0". Mostly for tech people (not recommended unless you know what you are doing)
