 Posted: Tue Mar 16, 2004 10:27 pm Post subject: The Ville MOTD |
 |
|
I noticed you have a graphic in your MOTD. My dad is just starting out with his server, and I was assigned the coding of the MOTD. I used HTML to structure the MOTD and in-page CSS to style the page. I linked the image to multiple sources on the server, yet all do not display when the MOTD goes live. I experimented, and linked the page to an offsite server, and sure enough, it works. But it also causes a problem... the time it takes to ping the remote server, get the image, and display it for every user causes the DoD server to crash and reset, playing the same map over and over.
I figured this was an issue with hlds not being a webserver. However, the DoD server does have a var/www/html space, which allows me to link to the content in that folder via Internet Explorer without any problems. I figured that I should put the image there. So I tried it, and via IE, it works just fine. However, in the DoD server, it's still not displaying, even though the URL for the image was verified before it went live!
Where did you place your image on the server to have it link correctly? |

Welcome to the forums! 
That is a pretty nice feature of DoD and I wonder when they will get it into other games. I don't know the answer to your question, though.

as long as the server you host on has the ability to creat a website, it should work. the images dont have to be on the same server though. just make sure the server hosting them isnt slow. i have the motd and the image isnt local. even with a slow server, it shouldnt crash dod.
make sure the reference to the image is like <img src="http://server/image.jpg"> and not just <img src="image.jpg">
i dont know waht other filetypes work - just that a jpg does. im sure png and gif would also. absolutely under no curcumstances use a bmp file |

I think that is pretty obvious.  And it applies to the entire internet.
