Is there a way to insert effects into a BF map like the water_splash_effect or the other impact_effects on the Kashyyyk map from SWBF2?? Will such effects work at all for SWBF?

Those effects are just attached to invisible MSH's via ODF that are placed on the map. If you want to you use them, then you will obviously need to download the SWBF2 assets, which were included with the SWBF2 mod tools. You will, of course, need some basic map-making and ZE knowledge.

Yes, why wouldn't it? Both games use the same .fx format files among other similar things...

I've already made a few maps so the knwoledge is supposed to be there. But ain't there a possibility to download only the SWBF2 Assets without the other Mod Tool stuff?

What's the matter? File size too large? If that is the case, and you are worried about it, I'll tell you this: The assets make up nearly 90% of the file size. The final difference in file size if the "other Mod Tool stuff" were to be removed would be negligible.

I could compress thw world files into a .rar, so the file size would be smaller to download, if you want.

Yeah I'd apprechiate that.

I remember once add to my map via odf all the effects from the Bf2 Geonosis maps so yes they work.

So can anyone upload the Asset folder anywhere , that'd help me a lot

I've attached the watersplash_lg effect to the kas_prop_fireflies MSH, but it ain't showing up ingame. Is there a specific type of effects that can only be used for weapons or other things?

You already went through the trouble of acquiring the SWBF2 Kashyyyk assets, so why don't you just use this effect with the original ODF it was referenced in and with the original MSH that it was meant to be attached to? Try it and see if that works...

I've tried it hundreds of times, but nonetheless nothing appears.
So ingame I just see that mesh in the water, a small white triangle, but there ain't no effects showing up. Do I have to write the effect names down somewhere? Anyway I've got the impression that none of the effects I've used wanna work. not the watersplash_lg, nor the torchflame. Kinda strange. The only effect that appears is the smoke_billow, but even that disappears after exactly 40 seconds.
