So no source games support displaying a banner?  If not, that's a real
shame ... at the very least it would quickly let ppl know that they are
downloading from a web server and so can expect the custom content to
download a lot quicker.

Alfred - will the Source engine ever support gfx/banner.gif?

Just re-read that and realised it might have come across a bit

Well, since Valve only support Windows Server as contentservers they should
at least allow the banner for webcontent-servers (maps modells skins sounds
...).. btw:never understood why the choosed windowsservers for
contentservers... (licencecosts, expensive, ressource-hungry,...)

valve should finally fix this or remove all banners (those of contentservers
too). that would be consequent!

This came up and unfortunately died back in May.  I still think a
secondary banner spot, below the VAC symbol area would be a good solution.

[hlds_linux] banner.gif not working

2005-10-02 Thread Ben Kennish 

My sv_downloadurl is set to "http://www.benkennish.co.uk/hl2ds/hl2mp/";
and within http://www.benkennish.co.uk/hl2ds/hl2mp/gfx I have
'banner.gif' which is 340x56 and GIF format.

Any ideas why it's not being displayed?  The content is definitely
downloading from the web server and not the game server as I've tail-ed
the web log.

Cheers,
