Dev:Standards for Areas

Forthcoming

Variables

Some variables should be added to a new area so that it can interact properly with TOUD scripting systems properly:

Environment

The variable 'local_env' and 'climate_env' are an integer that corresponds to certain environments in the game. This affects weather, and certain spells. Local_env also affects what herbs and trees spawn in their respective environments.
