Hl BSP Support:

U can now run Half-Life maps. But since alot of em uses stuff that Quake1 doesnt have (like func_ladders) they're not really playable unless u have a good mod that has support for all thos things. Some maps have their textures builtin into the map. Those maps will probably crash the engine. Maps can be put in maps/cs and maps/hl now to make the maps folder cleaner. And the WAD's that are used by the maps goes into the textures folder. Consult the "TEsted HL Maps.txt" to see what maps that work... This is still in beta stages.
