Both XPerience and the XPerience Addon have an Image URL settings page that allows you to define the URL for every image used within the plugins. By default all images are located on Imgur however many people have had issues with this due to new limitation set by this image host. If you have issues with images not loading you can change the URLs to another location or host the images yourself. For best performance it is recommended to use the Local Hosting option.
Remote Hosting:
- This option allows you to enter remote URLs for each image that point to a remote host that has all the images. This will require a full URL to every image Example: Mentality Icon (https://www.rustlevels.com/gameimages/mentality.png)
- Please do NOT use rustlevels urls! Rustlevels offers the images for download only!

Local Hosting:
- This option is the best for performance but can be difficult to setup depending on your host. Below are the steps you must take to get this to work:
- Enable "Use Local Path"
- Enter the root path to your oxide folder
- Depending on your host this can be the most difficult part to figure out. You can usually see your path when using FTP in the server address bar. It should be something like this: "/home/28301/oxide"
- If hosting your own server on a local computer then your path will be something like this: "C:\rustserver\oxide" but, due to how C# reads path locations you must use what is called escape characters in order for a local path to be read properly. To do this you will need to add / characters after every \ which will make the path location look like this: "C:\/\/rustserver\/oxide"
- If the oxide folder path is correct then you should see a confirmation below the path location option that says (Oxide Folder Found) in green text.
- Click Reload Images at the top
- After these 3 steps are done you should see messages in your server console similar to this:
NOTE: You may need to reload Image Library after the images are downloaded to your server and XPerience reloads.
