It was showing 404 for me at first, now it's working. Even then it should be a file in repository and then linked to it. Either way, I'm still against having screenshots in the github repository. I'll see what others think about it and decide.

Edit: I'm saying this because repository's README is not something people even land on from various websites linking to omp launcher. 99% of them are landing on Releases section instead. (Now they don't even do that since there's https://open.mp/downloads/launcher

Just my two cents here, a launcher screenshot might look nice on the readme, but two points:

  1. is it really needed? Haven't seen anyone say they didn't download omp because it doesn't have screenshots on the repo or anything

  2. if it were to put a launcher screenshot, it's prob best to make a bunch of random fake servers names to put on the list so any server won't be claiming "we are officialy recognized and recommended by omp because we are on their repo screenshot"

Dunno, maybe i am just thinking too much about it.

There was a big discussion about this some years ago #3 . Just for the record.

Dear Persian Developer: So, what about adding the pics in https://open.mp/downloads/launcher ?

Then adding pics there would pollute the web page, requiring most people either scroll up or down because of a useless data, those who are not first timers.

I still don't know what's the point of having one, sure maybe 3 years ago was a good idea when it was still considered unknown, but now? no, I don't believe so.

Again, I need a proof that this can be useful and not just taking up space. adding it to README makes zero sense because users won't even get a chance to look at it at all
