Multiple quests now work. Added the item layer. Made movement more like diablo by allowing you to hold and drag the left mouse button. All objects are now loaded from a separate "allobjects" file. Specific item attributes are loaded from the map objects file (like position). This allows for the possibility of multiple instances using the same FIFE model.
