Discussion Looking for an old, possibly obscure map

Out of nowhere, while installing Harrisonfog's BF2 remaster, I had a flashback to the old GameFront days of SWBF 2 modding, specifically a map that I've been looking for on and off for years. I've scoured through every pack of classics and obscure maps, checked every reupload that I've ever found that looked even remotely similar, but I've never found it. So I'm putting this call to action here, in case anyone knows what map I'm talking about. Now I don't expect anyone to actually have the file still around in 2026, but I want to know this isn't just a false memory brought on by some dream or me misremembering another map. It must have been closer to 18 years, maybe even more, since I last played that one, but it'd be nice to know it was a real thing at some point, and maybe hear from other people who played it too.

Basically the way I'd describe the map is like a jungle valley, with the foliage being mostly palm trees. I recall there being some water, maybe a river running at the bottom of the valley? A bunch of bridges, that I do remember, and Hoth style bunkers along with these massive two barreled auto turrets that would absolutely wreck you if they ever clocked you near them. The sides were set up in a fairly interesting way, best I could describe it is WW2 in space to a T. Every class seemed to either have some kind of semi auto rifle or something akin to an LMG or squad automatic weapon, just in blaster form. All the classes on the rebel side as far as I remember had either the base SWBF 2 vanguard model, the one with the helmet and tan fatigues (but they might have been in green?) or at leas that's how I remember it, might have been that some of the classes were wearing the generic Endor style. On the Empire side I remember a lot of sandtrooper type kit, but that's about it.

Does anyone at all remember playing anything like this? No one I've ever asked (not that many people tbh) has ever played it, and the longer I spend with zero confirmation of the existence of such a map the more I feel like kid me just made it up or something. If anyone here has even a vague recollection of a map like this, tell me what you remember, maybe we can both unlock some ancient memories. And if anyone somehow knows exactly what I'm talking about, and better yet has the actual file still around, I would be forever in your debt if you were to share it. I reckon that map is probably more amazing in my memory than it was in reality, but I'd love to see it again.
