Adding url to description page via custom startup?

The following should help. Though a button i am not sure unless it is just a link.

 

In order to change your description for your Rust server, you will need to change the serverauto.cfg file in your "server/experimental/cfg" folder inside your servers FTP directory. (Directions at the bottom of this ticket.)


1. Access your server directory with an FTP editing client (see instructions at the end of the ticket on how to do this)
2. Navigate to the "/server/experimental/cfg" folder
3. Locate the file "serverauto.cfg" If the serverauto.cfg is not there you will need to make a new file and name it serverauto.cfg
4. Edit "serverauto"cfg" with Notepad++
5. Add a new line at the bottom of the "serverauto.cfg" file and put this: server.description "whatever you want the description to be"
6. Replace whatever you want the description to be with your description


Additionally, if you want a header image, you can add the line server.headerimage "url.jpg" 


To edit/upload/save/delete files via FTP, use the following method:
 


1. Stop your server from the panel
2. Log in to FTP using WinSCP (a free FTP software) using the connection details found in the "FTP Details" section of the game server control panel
3. Navigate to the directory you wish to upload or edit a file
4.After uploading your files in the proper directories, start your server from the panel
You may found a download link for WinSCP here: http://winscp.net/eng/download.php

Steven,

 

This worked fine for me to update my server description but I've been banging my head against a wall getting image to load.  I've tried JPG, PNG and tried lowering the size of multiple images several times.  Still cannot get an image to appears on my server.

 

Can you assist?

Going back to FTP and finding the serverauto file it's doing the same thing over and over again.  It keeps re-writing to a new file and removing the two liens I've added above.  It's done this multiple times and I don't know what's overriding my changes or triggering it...

Awesome that no one from staff seems interested in replying...

 

So I ended up deleting my Serverauto.cfg and replaced it with a Server.cfg but I wake up today and see the server wrote in another serverauto.cfg into the same directory.  Wth.
