    You can use lua coding to pull any existing image out of game data, meaning that anywhere you can put text, you can also call up icons and such, as long as you know the directory path of the icon.

    This is amazing. Is there a step by step way to do this?

    Like what text must be entered into the MOTD for this to work? Also a list of directory paths for icons?

    It's done like this:
    |tx:y:filepath|t
    
    For example,
    |t110:110:esoui/art/compass/ava_imperialcity_neutral.dds|t
    
    ON-mapicon-ImperialCity.png
    or
    |t110:110:esoui/art/icons/icon_alliancepoints.dds|t
    
    ON-icon-misc-Alliance_Points.png

    If you're on PC, Circonians TextureIt will help you find filepaths. Alternatively, if there's a specific image you're looking for, let me know and I'll try to find its filepath.

    Every time I put this into the MOTD it just shows up as a blank box with whatever x :y dimensions I put in?

    Hmm, I'll have a play around and see if I can work out what's going wrong.

    I'm not sure what the problem is really, there are just some icons which don't seem to work. The ones I mentioned above work fine for me (this is on PC using the gamepad interface), but I tried some gear icons and they just came up with a blank box, as you said. I'm not sure how to determine which ones will actually "work".
