Sign up to be a content provider for Valve. You used to be able to do this on the SteamPowered web site, but the link is no longer there.

I'm not talking about all the banners when you browse around STEAM, chat, get updates, etc. I'm talking about the one you see when you are downloading maps from *my* server and/or connecting and validating resources against *my* server. If that content isn't provided by me, then I don't know what is. To date, I have seen no banners in that particular box, so my assumption is that that one remains blank until I put something there. Valve? Any response on this? Why is that banner box empty when the others contain ads? How do I fill it? -Mad -- A proof is a proof. What kind of a proof? It's a proof. A proof is a proof.

It usually shows a banner from the content server (althought I've seen it empty sometimes), not from the server you are connecting to.

Re: [hlds_linux] Content hosting provided by...
No, I'm not confused. I know what dialog box is Mad talking about and that box IS NOT always empty. I've seen the content server banner there sometimes while conneting to a server, I'm sure. If it's not shown now, it must be a bug or something similar. I also think is would be a nice idea, but actually it's not possible. There isn't any server side parameters, the banner is simply downloaded from an url given by the content server. Maybe it should go to the Steam's 'todo' list, but there is still a lot of more of important things to improve than a little banner... meanwhile use the new motd file, that was my suggestion. -- PiTaGoRaS - Original Message - From: Tony Di Schino [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2003 11:27 PM Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Content hosting provided by...
