Private Server Setup
Morning,
I have been playing around with my own private server running off a linux box with custom maps[1]. I am able to only load certain custom maps and not others. Below is an example of trying to load Severnaya:
> maplist.append severnaya gpm_cq
could not add to maplist. map not found:severnaya gameMode:gpm_cq
pookha(09:13:36)~/work/bf2142/mods/bf2142/levels>ls -ld severnaya/
drwxr-xr-x 3 frozen chrome 4096 Apr 10 07:59 severnaya//
pookha(09:17:47)~/work/bf2142/mods/bf2142/levels/severnaya/info>cat Severnaya.desc
<map>
<name> Severnaya </name>
<briefing locid="LOADINGSCREEN_MAPDESCRIPTION_Severnaya">map description for modders maps not localized (english only)</briefing>
<music> sound/music/Verdun.ogg </music>
<modes>
<mode type="gpm_coop">
<maptype ai="1" players="16" type="doubleassault" locid="GAMEMODE_DESCRIPTION_headon">Unlocalized test for this mode on this map</maptype>
</mode>
<mode type="gpm_cq">
...
I was wondering if any of you might be able to give me some insight as to why this happens.

Re: Private Server Setup
Well after much ado, I found the issue. From the readme-linux.txt:
================================================== ============================
The file case confusion problem solved
================================================== ============================
The Battlefield 2142<99> Linux server will read lower-case filenames ONLY. All file names encountered at runtime are lower-cased before a filesystem access is
attempted. The only exception is Python-scripts. You should therefore make sure
all files are lower-case when installing third-party modifications and maps.
Maybe I should have my morning coffee before embarking on these kind of projects
Nothing here to see, please move on.
