You want to put a different side in a shipped map? Or in a map you downloaded? :?

If you want to put a commando in levels already in the game, then you need to do this:

Tutorial

But, where it says change skin, you put the Commando in the Republic side, then you do the rest.
After you have munged you copy the rep.lvl and repshell.lvl from:

Star Wars Battlefront 2/Gamedata/addon/***/data/_LVL_PC/SIDE

to

Star Wars Battlefront 2/Gamedata/data/_lvl_pc/side

Remember to make a back up of the original ones.
Then you go to the mission.lvl, in:

Star Wars Battlefront 2/Gamedata/data/_lvl_pc/

And open it up with a hex editor, if you want to put it on kashyyk, you search for kas.
Keep searching a few time until you come to a bit that says rep.lvl, below it there should be the different troops, replace one of them with the name of the commando's req file.

If you want to do this to a map you have downloaded, do the same things, but go to the mission.lvl in:

Star Wars Battlefront 2/Gamedata/addon/***/data/_LVL_PC/

I think this is what you wanted to do.

If you wanted to copy sides from one downloaded map to another downloaded map, (using rep as an example) then you would have to make sure that both levels have rep.lvl files in them. If not then you may have to use hex editing. But I have NO CLUE how to hex.

There is a program that I know of called PSPadEditor that you can use for hex-editing. Now how to hex is a whole nother can of worms you're openin' there. I don't know how. But theres a lot of good hexers at GT. So ask around. But don't bug people too much!
