W.I.P.

The World Map is divided in Regions, and each Region is made up of different Ground IDs.
For each Ground ID, 8 different encounter slots are available, and are ordered by rarity: the first 4 are common encounters, the following 2 are medium rarity, and the last 2 are rare encounters.
These 8 slots each contain an EncounterID, these IDs are used to load the correct encounter from scene.out.
