Feedback on new rain script

That's a lot better than the basic rain effect.
I noticed two things however :
1. there's an area on the top of the screen where splashes don't appear (their y coordinates are rand(480) + rand(75) + 10 + rand(25) - rand(5) : to have a small value all the three first random numbers must be small).
2. splashes appear on "vertical" elements, such as tree trunks or fronts of houses, though it seems that it's raining vertically. Perhaps you could use terrain tags to filter tiles where splashes can be displayed.
Oh, and for the coding part, I hope you'll use a picture for splashes, because using set_pixel to draw always the same thing is rather low.
