This is a good introduction to ODFs and general modding. http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?topic=8.0

Any text editing application will do. Notepad works just fine.

But the thing is it comes up as a code, I meant to say notepad++

What do you mean comes up as code? This what it looks like for me when I edit ODFs in Notepad++.

Couldn't you just manually change it back to .lvl_pc by renaming it? I don't know, I've never tried.

Otherwise get a another lvl_pc file that you haven't changed and copy the contents of your editted notepad file into it maybe?

There is no need to change them back.  Just don't double click on them.  If you must change them back, right click on the file, choose "open with" then "choose program" and then uncheck "always open with" or else choose something else.

If you did not understand that then just know this:  Just don't double click on those files.

Do you mean that you want all the Clone Side files?  If so, get the mod tools or get one of the side builders.
