Yay, more progress! It took me nearly all week to iron out the bugs from last time, but now I've layed out the mapping and some of the scripts for the first half of the second part (the third eighth?). I'm about ready to put my fist through a window though... nothing ever works as I want it to. 
For instance, I have this in the .ini:
load_sequence graphics\rain\rain- 894 50 0 0 -1 -1 1 1
Somehow, this sprite is not centered at its upper left corner... that is when I do a create_sprite(0, 0, 0, 894, 1) half of it winds up off the screen. Needless to say, when I tryed to change it with the editor, it told me that 0,0,-1,-1,1,1 was a valid setup for placing the center in the upper left corner... sigh.
Yeah, I'm going to do something similar to FIAT for the rain effect. Dan explained it somewhere... you divide the screen into quarters (or whatever) and have each do random frames at regular intervals.
