Well honestly u don't see slums around raxus prime dont ya (well, if u think lots of metal junk conviniently magnetised that way is....)
Tat i believe is a better player, or some other backwater planet.
(but if its raxus prime.....just include a droids head k )
K.....Or I could not. Oh and just to make a point (and one that's canonical for that matter)......
How is this not a slum????
Hidden/Spoiler:
And even without that......I'm going to make props based on what I make in XSI that also works for BF2 rather than on what people consider to be more canonically likely. Think I've made it clear enough that beyond major plot points and character development of main characters I really don't care about star wars canon.

Ri-ight...its a run down village with huts and houses made out of junk and its not a slum.
And yes its devoid of life. Because (a) its an old game and (b) its in a vehicle (speeder) section you pass through in a few seconds so putting in animated characters would be a little bit of a waste of resources, no?

*on that note what old game is it then*
I hate to risk this turning into an off-topic debate, but I just have to ask...what is it with people trying to tell authors what to do with their work? There have always been instances of people going around pressing their "suggestions" on modders, but it seems like the problem has been getting a lot worse lately. Skyhammer said he was going to make Raxus Prime-style buildings. It's his work, it's what he wants to make, so just let him make it.

I vaguely recall a mod map for BF1 that utilized the sarlacc tentacles as living vines so I think it can be done.

@Eggman/CodaRez - I actually don't mind people making suggestions, provided they don't repeat them or try and force them on the author.
What I do mind is canon obsessed fanboys correcting me about something they haven't seen at all, based on their star wars knowledge/playing star wars galaxies too much. Also the resemblance seems pretty clear - (slums and shanty towns) often have buildings repaired with/made from junk and materials such as boards and scrap iron (in the real world, this is). Raxus Prime is a planet with quite large quantities of scrap metal lying around, and there's a screenshot I was inspired by that shows run down or made of junk huts/houses. So if I say the slum houses are Raxus Prime themed, They Are. End of discussion.

When did Eggman say this??? On that topic yes animated stuff is quite possible, will probably use my last XSI trial up on it.
PS. Screen is from Pandemic's Star Wars: Clone Wars. Pretty sure its the first game Raxus Prime appeared in.

I remember this map (or maybe it was this one) that had the Sarlacc tentacles set up using ZE anims to "swim" through a river, resembling a sea monster. So yeah, a lot could be done with that kind of thing.
Expect very sporadic updates on these packs and similar things over the next few months.
I basically have no modding/modelling time atm, so most of the stuff for this will be XSI excercises that are suitable for BF2 - won't necessarily follow a consistent theme. I'll still make some T-gen made pine trees and generic deciduous trees though, as well as random miscellaneous ones I've made before.
