I used Linux GSM to install BF1942 on ubuntu. The server works as expected for vanilla BF1942.

However, how do I add mods?

I tried adding Forgotten Hope:
- Install Forgotten Hope to a windows client
- Zip the mods/FH folder and unzip it on the linux server
- Modified mods/bf1942/settings/maplist.con:

game.addLevel Breakthrough-1944 GPM_COOP FH
game.setCurrentLevel Breakthrough-1944 GPM_COOP FH

But then the server stops shortly after starting. There's a log saying paths on linux are case sensitive. So, naturally I made all of the FH directories and files lower case, and updated mods/bf1942/settings/maplist.con once more:

game.addLevel breakthrough-1944 GPM_COOP fh
game.setCurrentLevel breakthrough-1944 GPM_COOP fh

Now the server doesn't crash on start. But players are unable to connect.
