[cod] pak sum/name mismatch

[David A. Fuess]

While I don't doubt that the two mods may be incompatible together because 
they do indeed contain one file in common, neither works alone either. I 
have checked the other mods in the system (nade cooking and hlcrcon) and 
neither posses the sd.gsc file that is common to the other two mods. 
Unfortunately for us, we really do want the team balance and teamspec lock 
that these two mods provide. Is there a solution that provides these 
capabilities in a compatible mod? Perhaps Activision should provide these 
functions in a future release because they are both central to setting up a 
server for fair competition.
