New page

=Understanding host.txt=
A host.txt file is implementation of a server banner that will show up next to the MOTD while joining games. It is usually best to use a 500x100 jpg file stretched out inside an html file.

Here is an example of a html file used for host.txt
<pre>
<html>
<head>
<title>My Awesome Gameserver</title>
</head>

<body style="margin:0px;padding:1px;background:#000000;" scroll="no">
<img src="http://mywebsite.com/l4dbanner.jpg" style="width:100%;height:100%;" />
</body>
</html>
</png>

That example can be uploaded to a publicly accessible website. Your host.txt file would point to this html file.
