This will give the ability for the mod builder to use seasons. The neat thing about it is, since it's the same tileset retexured four times you can make the area how you want it. then with an ITP editer you can make
the same area in a different season with every tile in the same spot. More on that later.
This is unfinished, in that there are no loadscreens for it. Also the mini map is not done.
There are a lot more things I will be adding soon but I just wanted to get it out there and gets some feedback. Please let me know what you think, what you like, what you don't like and what you think I should add next. Also any error you find.
