Re: Server Banner URL
Nope.
Re: Server Banner URL
I did a server banner for my server, and it shows up in Battlelog when you look at the detailed server info. However, a friend of mine said he couldn't see it. So maybe it's because I had typed in the direct url to the banner that it ended up getting cached into my browser? I dunno.
Re: Server Banner URL
Are you using BetterBattleLog? I know I can see servers that have the banner set up. Maybe your friend isnt using BBLog.HoLyCoW wrote:I did a server banner for my server, and it shows up in Battlelog when you look at the detailed server info.

Re: Server Banner URL
OH! That makes sense! Yeah, I'm using BBLog.

500x165 .jpg is the only way I've made it work so far, but it seems to stretch it out to a 760x168 image. I tried doing one in that res, but it didnt work.
Re: Server Banner URL
b0wzy, we were told that this was intentionally not going to be implemented, so I'm really surprised by that. I guess EA had a change of heart. I'll have to update the page!

Re: Server Banner URL
That's some darn fine detective work.
Re: Server Banner URL
Hey, wait a minute! When I tried putting in a .jpg with a file size too large, it replaced it with the default NFO banner and I was able to see that on the loading screen. Had no one else ever had the default NFO banner set on their Easy Setup page to notice it on their server's loading screen until I just did?
Re: Server Banner URL
Okay - what am I doing wrong here? Everything I've seen states that this image should work but it fails with "Your retrieved server banner was too large (over 127 KB), so the default NFO banner was used instead."
Except its not, the image is 25kb
Here are the properties of my image.

Re: Server Banner URL
Nevermind - the server just didn't like the link I was using.
The link was like this previously: http://forums.traditionsportsonline.com ... jpg.28411/
I just uploaded it to imgur so now the link that at least seemed to have worked is: http://i.imgur.com/2fBQrRh.jpg

Re: Server Banner URL
The manner that the system uses to download the banner is the same as how the game does it, so this saved you some time .
This banner variable will likely be removed in the next game version.

Re: Server Banner URL
This isn't the first thing we've all discovered DICE has in the game, but will be removing or changing. What are these guys thinking?
Re: Server Banner URL
This one wasn't supposed to be in there in the first place, from what they have told us.
