Hello,
I edited the motd.txt file and put in a standard welcome message and
other information (all plain text, no embedded HTML). I edited the
host.txt file to point to a jpeg file on our website, but it does not
show up in-game. All I see is an empty box where the banner should be.
Am I doing something wrong? Does the URL of the banner need to be in
the MOTD file *and* host.txt?
Thanks,
Dave
