How To Make MOTD Image For Counter Strike 1.6 Server

Hell guys,

I think MOTD image of the server is very necessary for a server to present about the individual of a clan. For that Purpose I m sharing this post. Read carefully.

Initially a MOTD is image which appears before entering into the server. This can of 2 types.

• Writing the text directly or uploading it on to the host server and inserting the URL into one piece of html code.
• Inserting the text into the html code.

First Procedure – Designing a picture

Chose a picture here or any other. If you chose to use your own picture you will have to resize it first. Download here, Paint Net photo editor. Install it , open it and in the upper left corner you will find File -> Open . Chose the picture from your computer and open it. In order to resize it click Image -> Resize . Check “By absolute size”, uncheck "Maintain aspect ratio" and write the following sizes :

• widith : 766
• height: 383

You have your picture sized and ready for your motd. Now you`ll have to write the text. In order to do that open the Tools and Colors (if they are not already opened, click Windows menu and open it there). In the Tools menu you`ll find the writing tool represented by the letter “A”. Chose the color of your text in Colors menu and write the text on your picture. Save the image when you are done ( File -> Save , name it and save it as gif, jpg, png or bmp).

Uploading the picture on a file hosting server and inserting the url into the html code

In order to do that follow this link and make an account there. Upload the picture to your account, click Files -> Main folder (see the image) . You`ll see a small thumbnail of your picture. Click on it and the picture will open. In the upper left corner of it you`ll see the needed URL address wich you`ll have to copy (see the image). Copy that URL into this piece of html code :

This code you`ll have to copy into HLDS\cstrike\motd.txt after you deleted the code that is already there. Save and close motd.txt.

DONE !!
