Fixed some bugs

I fixed a bug that caused COD2 to sometimes fail with a "Bad Command Byte". I've been getting some good response on the forums at http://www.iwnation.com/Forums/index.php?showtopic=24264
And some good suggestions regarding customization with an XML file.

The new version (0.81) is available here.

COD2gen released into the wild

This program came about because my coworkers and I play Call of Duty 2 after hours, and are tired of playing the same old maps all the time (with the exception of the two Tunisian boards which are timeless...) Sure, there are plenty of people out there mapping for COD2, but we'd have to continually search out new maps. So we've made this program that will generate a COD2 map file for us, randomly. Every day I run codgen and make a "mp_dujour" and we all play it. Hopefully other COD2 mappers and modders will find this useful.

Download the current version here. The program is for Win 2k/Me/XP. Just unzip the file and run the executable program "codgen.exe" from the command prompt (cmd). Instructions are provided in "cod2gen.txt". You may redistribute the zip file.

Here's some screenshots from inside Radiant of actual randomly generated maps:
