You have to have a web server for the sv_downloadurl parameter right?
Nod your head yes because yes you do.
Try this:
Create your "advertisement" as a web page in your autodownload website.
Use ASP/PHP and you can even have one of those irritating rotating
banner ads on the page.
Then create a motd.txt file in your cstrike directory containing nothing
but the url to your ad page.
Example motd.txt contents:
http://www.noclans.com/motd.asp
(Note: The asp page referenced above plays a random wav file when the
player joins the game. Plays it once, no looping, etc.)
There you go.
No further need for the downloading banner ad.
Enjoy!

Can you share the reason for that decision Alfred please?
HL Mods have the popularity they have due to the supporting communities
servers & the resources they supply free of charge to players.
Allowing those clans/clubs/communities the small concession of advertising
through the free download they are providing is one way of giving back to
those server admins that spend hours providing the service

The Source client does not and will not have a banner ad on the loading
dialog.

I heard that the banner in sv_downloadurl feature does not work with
source. Is this true? Why not? Planning on fixing it?
