Got if fixed, basically had
www.gameservers.com staff through a ticket tell me how. anyway best way for this is to have it hosted on the web instead of having it written in the motd itself here is an example:
http://l4d2arcadeeditionmod.clanservers.com/banner.htm
host.txt have that line in host.txt to display the banner
http://l4d2arcadeeditionmod.clanservers.com/motd/
motd.txt have that line in motd.txt to display that motd.
then have host.txt and motd.txt file have those links in their description to link to the web and then it shows the picture on the motd when u load l4d. if u get any problems just report the problems to the staff and they fix it for u. for example if there is a glitch. like it doesnt work 100% even if the code says otherwise, they fix it for u.
to do this best way would be to ask your server provider for info. if u know how to do it manually and got it working 100% like this way for me more power to you, this was my way.
also this is how mine worked, dont know if its like this for everywhere else but this is how gameservers.com worked. anyway your stuff is in a webpage that comes free with your server subscription if u decide to have the webspace activated. in the webspace public_hmtl is where the banner.htm file goes. this is the code that goes in the banner.htm file:
PHP Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="images/favicon.ico" />
<title>Left 4 Dead 2</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="main.css" />
</head>
<body>
<img src="https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i/XJR15/JaguarsXJR-15s.jpg" width="810" height="174" border="0">
</body>
</html>
just change the image to any other web hosted picture and it will change to that. mess with height and width if u want to change that as well. also there is a motd folder and inside it is index.htm this is where the motd code goes (inside your index.htm file:
PHP Code:
<html>

if u dont know how to make an htm file have your server provider do it for u. after u already have the image and motd code written up somewhere they can easily put the image in a banner.htm and a motd in an index.htm.
if u dont want to have them do it look up a guide on how to make an htm file. otherwise this thread covers it.
thanks for all the help!
