The Matrix v1.1 for CS:S by MoonQuake

READ ALL PLEASE -- IMPORTANT FOR ADMINS: The Matrix map is big! If you want people to be able to download the map directly from your server, you must use this command: net\_maxfilesize 27 Default 16mb. The Matrix map is 25mb. Without this command changed to 27, people will download all the resources EXCEPT the .BSP and they will get an error message like "de\_thematrix\_11.bsp not found". -- If your server BZIPs the maps you're ok, but make sure you test it first.
