[hlds] Server Banner in other games?
I am really loving the addition of an additional Banner for server promotion as the MOTDs are often overlooked by players. I am actually using a rotation image to try and get even more views which people seem to think is cool. I am curious if Valve is planning on adding the server banner, in some form or another, to other titles? I know that I would love to have it added to the scoreboard for my TF2 servers and I am sure I am not alone.

Speaking of server banner, where do I change it for my sever? I can't seem to find the image in my files. Thanks in advance.

[hlds] Server Banner in other games?
The file is in /l4d_demo/left4dead/host.txt, it requires I believe a URL to load. I do not think it can accept straight HTML. The image size is 500x100px, but it is a bit larger for higher resolutions (1680x1050 for example). I'm not sure what the exact dimensions it renders at for high resolutions like that. To keep it from looking bad in-game at high resolutions I just center the image and it shows up fine. Here is mine for example: http://fastdownload.f7lans.com/motd/l4dbanner.html Speaking of server banner, where do I change it for my sever? I can't seem to find the image in my files.

Re: [hlds] Server Banner in other games?
Thanks guys. I was thinking that it was just an image. Seems kinda strange to load it as html when your basically only going to load an image though it could be used to do random images so that's a plus.

Re: [hlds] Server Banner in other games?
I have not done enough testing to confirm whether HTML in the file works or not, I just read that from an earlier message. I do like having it point to a HTTP file though, it makes it easier to keep all of my servers up-to-date if they all point their MOTD and Banner to a common web file. To reiterate, I would love to see the Banner added to other games! On Wed, 2008-11-12 at 19:21 -0500, Aj Collins wrote: Thanks guys. I was thinking that it was just an image.
