Hello!
I'm not sure if this is the proper place to be asking this question, but I am trying to apply a server photo header using my server start batch file (batch file is as shown below). It will not work....
Things I've tried:
1024x512 px AND 512x256 px
hosting image on imgur
hosting image on dropbox
the different ways I've seen people use a command to get it on there
IE:
+server.headerimage "https://i.imgur.com/Jy4U7jN.jpg"
-server.headerimage "https://i.imgur.com/Jy4U7jN.jpg"
server.headerimage: "https://i.imgur.com/Jy4U7jN.jpg"
I've cleared the server identity folder
and updated the server, but nothing is working... any ideas on what I'm missing?
echo off
:start
RustDedicated.exe -batchmode ^
+server.port 28015 ^
-levelURL"https://www.dropbox.com/s/wnu1kqjfrr0lyen/Bradley%20TD.map?dl=1" ^
+server.maxplayers 20 ^
+server.hostname "Bradley TD" ^
+server.description "A fast paced tower defense game, where saving Bradley, means saving us all - in the works! If Bradley Falls, the city falls, and you lose. Good luck" ^
+server.headerimage "https://i.imgur.com/Jy4U7jN.jpg" ^
goto start
Can't get server header image to workSolved
Try using a png image format.
I see now that somehow the image stretched to 512x260....that might have been the issue....

I forgot to include that the first run I tried was in png. I'm going to resize the image....again, and make try it with png as well.

Entering the console command manually
server.headerimage "URL"
I can get the image to show on the server screen, but it is extremely blurry as well.
I have triple checked the file type and size, both are correct.
Hello
I have the same problem, but I checked other servers, it is the same with almost all servers
the image size must be 512 x 256 and the image must be a jpg. the image name must also be called logo
eg
+server.headerimage "https://XXXXXXXXX/XXXXXXXX/logo.jpg" ^
nashslashthe image size must be 512 x 256 and the image must be a jpg. the image name must also be called logo
eg
+server.headerimage "https://XXXXXXXXX/XXXXXXXX/logo.jpg" ^
Incorrect.
+server.headerimage "https://i.imgur.com/whateveryourimageiscalled.jpg" works fine.

That is my image, which is 512x256 jpg. Doesn't want to work.
Is there a file somewhere that contains the server hearder image default that can be replaced possibly?
I tried going into my server.cfg file on my hosted file and using:
server.header "myimageurl.jpg"
but that doesn't work either. I am lost...

got the server.header "myimageurl.jpg" to work by placing it in the serverauto.cfg file. Cheers.
