[edit] Understanding host.txt

A host.txt file is implementation of a server banner that will show up next to the MOTD while joining games. It is usually best to use a 500x100 jpg file stretched out inside an html file.

Here is an example of a html file used for host.txt 

<html> 
<head> 
<title>My Awesome Gameserver</title> 
</head> 
 
<body style="margin:0px;padding:1px;background:#000000;" scroll="no"> 
<img src="http://mywebsite.com/l4dbanner.jpg" style="width:100%;height:100%;" /> 
</body> 
</html>

That example can be uploaded to a publicly accessible website. Your host.txt file would point to this html file.

[edit] Example host.txt

Our gameservers are equipped with an example host.txt. If you would like to take a look at the code, here is the site:
