 DESCRIPTION
================================================================
This map is a conversion for the Wizard Wars mod from the Counter
Strike map cs_mario_b2 and was inspired from the main castle from 
the Nintendo 64 game, Super Mario 64.

When converting this map from the CS version, I decided it to make 
it a standard Wizardmatch (deathmatch) map because there was no 
hostage rescue type scenario for Wizard Wars, and I thought it would 
make a great DM map. :)
I didn't change the castle structure itself, but I did fix the 'cliff
border' around the map so you couldn't fall of the edges and get
underneath the map. I also raised the skybox just a tad, so the dragon
would have more room to fly around in. :) 
I also rextextured a lot of stuff: the castle roof,  some of the wood
in the castle, the doors, the ground in the tunnels, the standard 
HL crates, changed the skybox and some other stuff I can't think of now.
I also added ammo and health/armor power ups (since CS doesn't have
those), I also moved around the spawn points in interesting places
around the map. :)
I also added a lot of the Mario-style quesion mark boxes and regular
boxes, and also Mario style pipes and the big floating island in the sky 
were my creations, too.  Be sure to try and get to the floating island 
before everyone else and hitch a ride on Yoshi (the dragon) so you can fly 
around and toast 'em. :)    When the dradon dies, a new one will respawn 
again there shortly so be on the lookout.   Also the dragon cannot get 
inside the castle so you are safe from him in there. :)
