ok i must be missing something whenever i read a side tutorial. because whenever i edit the ***c_con.lua in the [data_***\common\scripts\***] directory to load the side i have [a.k.a. changing ReadDataFile("SIDE\\rep.lvl to ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\rep.lvl] with editpad lite and munge the side, the the bfII window closes before the whole level loads.
what exactly am i doing wrong?

I can't really say.
First guess: You haven't put Common from the assets/sides in you data_***/Sides folder.
Second guess: You have not the right units in your side.
Suggestion:
Post your error log, that will help us to figure out what is wrong.

And if you don´t know where to get the errorlog (just an idea, because you didn´t post it yourself), you must copy the "BF2_modtools" from your BF2_ModTools and paste it into C:/.../LucasArts/Star Wars Battlefront II/GameData. Run it and copy the text from the BFront2 and paste here.
EDIT
I won´t delete my first text, you have to know where to get the errorlog.
Second: In your units odf. Look at rep_inf_default_officer. There is it:
PointsToUnlock... Look yourself

It comes with the mod tools.

That´s right. And Maveritchell, he already knew that it came with the modtools. You can see it at the "
thought" in front of his sentence.
EDIT
Dang! Sorry, Maveritchell, I meant Zerted
Thanks sampip xD

It was [RDH]Zerted actually
I suspect it may have been a misinterpretation.
