Notes:

I started making this map a long time ago using elements of the
sequel to my HL map pack Edge of Darkness which I had abandoned.

In adapting it to Counter-Strike I was inspired partially by my
favourite CS map - militia.

Although I worked on cs_malibu on and off for some time I never
really got round to finishing it. This version is not really a
finished one as some areas totally lack detail and the r_speeds
remain too high for most people's set-ups.

I've played the map myself many times using PODBot and so I have
included in this pack the PODBot waypoints file that I created
for this purpose. There are a few problems trying to use bots
on this map but overall it's quite possible to have fun with this.

I DO NOT intend to put a lot of effort into finishing this map
so please don't write to me to tell me I should change this or
change that. It is not a perfect map and probably never will be.

On the other hand, if you find a serious bug please let me know
and I may think about releasing a new beta verison.

------Credits/Thanks------------------------------------------------

I created many of the custom textures used in this map myself
but I did use some great textures created by other people and
sometimes used elements extracted from other people's textures :-

Tropical sky :- Tropical Island by aIX (from Wadfather site).
Roof tiles - The Ecclesiastical Wad by Evile Dick (from Wadfather).
Stained Glass - Stained Glass Wad also by Evile Dick.
Brickwork around beach door - based on tex from Evile Dick's
Building.wad
Pool Water textures + grass from Golgotha pack (Wadfather).
Leather couch textures from JoeSmoe WAD pack (Counter-Map).
Hanging ivy texture from itsitaly.wad (CS).
Ivy textures used on walls based on /extracted from cs_bdog.wad (CS).
cliff textures partially based on MegaMike's Cliffes from his
MegaMikeDeus2 WAD pack (Counter-Map)
