Mercenary Operator: Wolves update for 10 January 2022

Checkpoints have been added to the Scent of Prey and Smugglers campaign levels and will be used in all future campaign levels. This will hopefully make campaign levels less tedious to play through as you don’t need to sit through the introduction dialogue anymore every time you restart the level. Checkpoint progress is only stored so long as you remain in the level.
Additionally, a lot of small changes, tweaks, and bugfixes have been made. The controls to adjust the camera zoom level can now be rebound, though the mouse scroll wheel can still be used as well. The camera zoom level has also been increased, with the maximum and starting zoom levels being changed from 100 to 160.
