How to correctly create and set a Rust header image
This is a simple task and is performed in the server.cfg
Rust allows you to add a header image for your server! The header image is a great way to show what your server is about before a player joins and a catchy header image can help boost your player numbers. The header image appears when you click on the server in the in-game Rust server list.
- Create your header image using a tool like Photoshop or https://www.photopea.com/
- Ensure the image 512x256 and of a .png format. If you are just using a stock image use an online image resizer tool.
- Edit the server.cfg and find the line server.headerimage "<insert url here> this is what you will need to be replacing
- Upload the image to a site like https://imgur.com
- Right-click the image and click "copy image url"
