[cod] Problem with map pack and custom maps

[Dai_Nasty]

I'm assuming that like the MoHAA maps they have an internal name, so 
renaming the file will not work.
One presumably would have to rework the relevant files and change the 
internal naming as necessary.

Has anyone done this in cod4 or has a link for file structures. I'd like to 
investigate this myself.
