make portals, then in sapien, move the view so your in the portal, and in bsp settings set it to have the rain particle effect. i could be totally wrong about this though

They are imaginary planes, while creating your map in gmax/3ds you can make them there, I haven't experimented with any of it so I don't know much about it.

Yes.

However if there are interior sections to the map (take Sidewinder for example), you would want to make those areas a different portal so that you don't get the leaky roof syndrome.

Particles drain the FPS though.

Designing a har Particles don't drain the FPS as much as you might think.

Go into Coldsnap, note your FPS, then do the code "weather 0" and take of the fps then.
