[dev question] Is there precipitation on Nar Shaddaa?
Hey guys! I'm one of the level designers for the mod.
I'm currently working on Nar Shaddaa and I'm adding weather patterns.
Does anyone know if it rains on Nar Shaddaa?
The Star Wars universe is probably developed enough that someone should know the answer to this.

Now before I get crucified for not knowing the weather patterns of Nar Shaddaa, I'll just tease the map with screenshot of Nar Shaddaa at night (or as usual):

And here's my interpretation of the moon when its raining:

So before I get carried away with artistic liberties over how aesthetically pleasing it looks with rain, can someone please clarify if rain is possible on Nar Shaddaa?

Yeah, it is. Mostly acid rain though. And it almost never rains on Nar Shaddaa since it's a city planet like Coruscant. Nar Shaddaa in the base game is actually Nal Hutta, where as Nar Shaddaa is its moon.

I know Nar Shaddaa is the moon but, I thought it would be fun to include it into the game as a KOTOR location.
The only real thing I can say for when it is implemented is...

Don't blow up Nar Shaddaa or Nal Hutta because there isn't an actual known way to make Nar Shaddaa turn into debris if you have a battle over Nal Hutta. So if you were to blow up Nar Shaddaa, it would still appear intact when viewed from Nal Hutta and vice versa ^^'

It's a limitation of the game that's out of our control (at least for now).

Also, thanks for the clarification.
There won't be acid rain but, rain at the very least.
Right now, Nar Shaddaa has 3 possible environmental conditions:

- "Clear" : smoggy clouds with overcast skies

- "Rain" : BladeRunner-esque looking urban rain

- "Night" : Gawdy red light district lighting effects that took several days to imitate using only vanilla settings in the editor.

Development-wise, Nar Shaddaa is more-or-less complete but, I just want to make sure all the structure properties are set correctly.
