Title: What kinds of pictured can I embed in the MOTD?
Post by: superspiderman123 on September 28, 2010, 01:53:27 AM
I've tried jpgs, bmps, pngs, and all of them give me a box with a question mark inside.

I've been using
<img src="bg.jpg" />

Is there anywhere I need to put the image? Right now, it's just sitting in addons/ulx along with ulx_motd.txt

You can use pretty much any type of image, but you'll need to host it somewhere online. imageshack.us (http://imageshack.us) is a good choice.

As Megiddo says in other words, there is no way to 'embed' an image into a Source motd.
Just link to them hosted on a real web server.

Use imageshack or create a webserver.
<img src="Image.jpg" width="192" height="285" />
OR
<img src="Image.jpg" />

You would want to make sure you included the entire path to the image.. like

Code: [Select]
<img src="http://myhost.com/images/image.jpg">
*edit* -  apparently SMF allows you to use img HTML tags in your post.. go figure.

That's odd. Most SMF forums have that turned off..

I have it turned on because it can't do any harm and it's convenient :P
