Description:
This is a test map for a new game mode, which I call 'king of the hill'.
There is one checkpoint style objective. To win, a team must hold the
objective for a certain total amount of time (5 minutes, in this case). The
team need not hold the objective continuously, but periods shorter than 10
seconds are not counted. Warnings are displayed as each team approaches the
winning time. A click sound is made each time the allies hold the objective
for 10 seconds, and a clank sound is made when the axis holds it.
Servers running this map should use WOLFMP game mode, not WOLFSW or WOLFCP.

Bugs:
The standard match timer is still there, but it doesn't mean much.
Even with the sounds and warning messages there isn't much feedback on the
status of the match. This feedback could be implemented with movers and game
geometry.

Implementation:
The script and .map file are included, for the benefit of anyone interested in
the method used to create this game mode. Feel free to use either as the basis
for your own maps.

Initially, the objective and winner states are set to -1 (none)
accum 1 keeps the same value as objective 1
accum 2 keeps the number of ten second intervals left before the axis wins
accum 3 keeps the number of ten second intervals left before the allies win
accum 4 tracks if the objective has changed hands within ten seconds

The team_WOLF_checkpoint entity triggers the game_manager script
axis_capture_gm or allies_capture_gm when the respective teams capture it.
These scripts set the objective status, and then trigger game_manager script
obj_captured.

obj_captured does an allertentity on the timer entity holdtimer (using a
target_relay entity called holdtimer_relay). When it is alerted the timer
either stops or starts depending on it's previous state. 

For the first capture one allertentity is done, starting the timer. 

For all subsequent captures alertentity is performed twice. This resets the
timer so that shorter than 10 second intervals are handled correctly. When the
timer is alerted, it immediately triggers it's target, and continues to do so
every 10 seconds.

The timers target is a target_script_trigger called holdtimer_script, which
is attached to the holdtimer_event_handler script.

The holdtimer_event_handler script has one trigger (called holdtimer_event)
which triggers game_manager scripts timer_axis and timer allies. These
scripts check if the respective team is the owner of the objective, and if
the flag state has not just changed, decrement the number of intervals left
before the team wins. Finally they check to see if the team has won.

About the map:
The map is small, primitive and ugly. It has about 30 spawn points, but should
probably be played with fewer players.
