Loading additional ingame.lvl through custom user script

i want to replace some common models and effect through a new ingame.lvl. because i dont have the sourcefiles for the 1.2/1.3 ingame.lvl their updates dont affect the game anymore and the 1.2 weapons have no proper hudicons anymore if i replace the main ingame.lvl. therefore i tried making a custom user script that loads "ingame_2.lvl" with all the modified files whenever a map is loaded. however it doesnt seem to work.
heres my shell.req:

Hidden/Spoiler:

ucft

{

    REQN

    {

        "script"

	"user_script_11"

    }

}

my user_script_11.lua:

Hidden/Spoiler:

print("user_script_1: Entered")

--attempt to take control of (or listen to the calls of) the ScriptPostLoad function

if ScriptPostLoad then

	print("user_script_1: Taking control of ScriptPostLoad()...")

	--check for possible loading errors

	if us1_ScriptPostLoad then

		print("user_script_1: Warning: Someone else is using our us1_ScriptPostLoad variable!")

		print("user_script_1: Exited")

		return

	end

	--backup the current ScriptPostLoad function

	us1_ScriptPostLoad = ScriptPostLoad

	--this is our new ScriptPostLoad function

	ScriptPostLoad = function()

	    print("user_script_1: ScriptPostLoad(): Entered")

	    --only do these changes when in SP

	    --if we wanted them done in MP too, we should check to make sure that we are the server's host: ScriptCB_GetAmHost()

	    if not ScriptCB_InMultiplayer() then

			ReadDataFile("ingame_2.lvl")

		end

	    --make sure to forward the method call to the real ScriptPostLoad, so the game can function normally

	    us1_ScriptPostLoad()

	    print("user_script_1: ScriptPostLoad(): Exited")

	end

	print("user_script_1: Have control of ScriptPostLoad()")

else

	print("user_script_1: Warning: No ScriptPostLoad() to take over")

	print("user_script_1: Exited")

	return

end

print("user_script_1: Exited")

after munging, i rename the shel.lvl to "user_script_11.lvl" and put it into battlefronts lvl_pc folder and of course copy the "ingame_2.lvl" in too.

do i have some fault in the code or is it simply not possible to replace content from the ingame.lvl through an userscript?

-previous content removed-
-and again-

for some reason battlefront now load the custom ingame.lvl without any problems and loads all the included files, but they dont replace anything. how can that be when a custom userscript should act as if it was the maps scriptpostload??
