Rainy Precursor Legacy v1.3.0
Rainy Precursor Legacy v1.3.0
New weather mode, dynamic Sentinel Beach fog, darker storm sky, and multilingual menu support.
What's new
- Added Beach Fog setting with Permanent and Dynamic options.
- Dynamic fog now adjusts with weather conditions instead of remaining permanently heavy during rain.
- Endless Storm sky has been darkened so it better fits the stormy vibe and is visibly different from the Rain one.
- Added Dry Storm as a fourth weather mode: storm atmosphere, fog, lightning, and thunder where supported, without rainfall.
- Added Rainy Weather menu translations for 21 additional languages (23 configured language slots total). Translation corrections and glyph/layout feedback are welcome.
Controls
Hold L3 + R3, then press Left = Endless Rain, Up = Dynamic Weather, Right = Endless Storm, or Down = Dry Storm.
Compatibility and testing
- New and legacy preference profiles were tested in an isolated OpenGOAL build; the legacy weather-mode record loaded, and Dry Storm plus Dynamic Beach Fog persisted after restart.
- The new build compiled successfully, including both GOAL archives and all 23 configured language text archives. Gameplay was tested without reported functional problems.
- Full native-language proofreading and on-screen verification of all 23 languages are not complete.
- Existing known limitations, including occasional rain particles inside structures and reduced storm effects in Geyser Rock, remain.
Installation
Windows source-and-tools ZIP. Extract to a new directory. Use extractor.exe with your own legitimate Jak 1 image and launch gk.exe afterward. No original copyrighted game data or personal saves/settings are included. Do not overwrite a known-good installation.

v1.2.0
Rainy Precursor Legacy v1.2.0
Rock Village Storm Enhancement, extending the weather system introduced in v1.1.0.
What's new
- Rock Village is now the sixth supported region, joining Geyser Rock, Sandover Village, Sentinel Beach, Forbidden Jungle and Misty Island.
- Endless Rain, Dynamic Weather and Endless Storm now apply to Rock Village through the established shared weather controller.
- Stronger storm atmosphere: Rock Village's fog blends toward the existing Boggy Swamp storm fog while preserving its original level-specific lighting, thunder and lightning behavior.
- Dynamic rain: Rock Village rainfall now follows the selected weather mode instead of the previous native-only dispatch.
Controls
Hold L3 + R3, then press Left for Endless Rain, Up for Dynamic Weather or Right for Endless Storm. The Rainy Weather menu still provides clear-sky duration settings.
Verification and compatibility
The source changes were compiled and visually tested in an isolated OpenGOAL installation, including Rock Village modes, transitions, travel to Boggy Swamp and back, and rain exclusion in Lost Precursor City. No gameplay changes were made outside the two GOAL source files.
This Windows archive contains mod source and tools; it requires the player's own legitimate Jak 1 ISO to build. Original game/ISO data, user saves and local configuration are not distributed. Existing v1.1.0 remains available.
Known limitations: Some sheltered rain may remain visible from particular spots or camera angles. Geyser Rock retains limited storm effects. This independent community mod is not affiliated with Naughty Dog or OpenGOAL.
v1.1.0
Rainy Precursor Legacy v1.1.0
A complete overhaul of the original release's weather system, introducing dynamic, customizable weather with smooth transitions.
What's new
- Three weather modes: Endless Rain, Dynamic Weather, and Endless Storm, each with distinct intensity and effects.
- Dynamic weather cycles: Clear skies, cloud buildup, rain, optional thunderstorms, and gradual clearing.
- Instant shortcuts: L3 + R3 + Left (Rain), Up (Dynamic), or Right (Storm).
- Expanded settings: Choose your weather mode and clear-sky duration (30-60s, 2-5m, or 5-10m).
- Persistent preferences: Settings survive game restarts.
- Synchronized weather: One shared timeline across Geyser Rock, Sandover Village, Sentinel Beach, Forbidden Jungle, and Misty Island.
- Improved indoor rain handling: Reduced rain appearing inside structures, although some rain may still be visible in certain spots or from particular camera angles.
- Balanced weather probabilities: 70% rain probability, with a 50% storm probability when rain occurs.
Notes
Geyser Rock does not feature the full lightning and thunder effects. Requires your own legitimate Jak 1 ISO. No original game data included.
