You'll need to be a bit more specific I'm afraid, what is the problem your having?

Hi, i finished Argentina with National Team and Nacional B Adboards (for error i included Independiente Club Ads who is this year in Second Division).

And i've started Peru, but its difficult find decent quality adboards, my plan apart from the League adboards is release 6 clubs adboards of the 16 clubs, the 3 greatest (Alianza Lima, Universitario and Sporting Cristal) and 3 successful teams in last years' championships (Cienciano, Universidad San Martin and Real Garcilaso, famous for reaching last year the Quarter Finals in Copa Libertadores and participating again this year but with some criticism with racist chants), but for now i've avance to my pace beacuse i have other proyect outside FM, and i've approaching the end of my summer vacations.

Finally, The link with Chile and Argentina Completed. Chile and Argentina (as always the agregado.txt contains the code for add, the xml files is from rabcp's last year version).

Regards.

This is great! but for some reason this seems not to be working for me at all. During the game play its showing add boards such as 'Fifa, Continental and some slandered add boards for FM.

I have tried everything, when I removed the No club folder it has took away ''Fifa' and 'Continental' adds and just left the standered FM ones. Cant seem to get the league adds going?? any suggestions anyone? I think I'm slightly cracking up!

If your seeing the following list of boards:
Fifa.com, Continental, Heineken, Subaru, Sony, Visa, Budweiser, PowerAde, Castrol & Coca Cola
Then these are the defaults in the ad board pack - you just need to play a league game (not a friendly) and the club/league boards should appear

If you're seeing
Fifa, Continental & Football Manager, Warchild & Sports Interactive then there is a problem with your pack
Your only seeing some of the boards
Please check that you have a complete pack - all the ads listed above should be in your graphics/pictures/ads/default folder
If the pack is complete re-check the cache settings
Go to preferences Go to the display tab and untick 'use skin cache'
tick 'reload skin on confirm'
untick 'clicking on an ad board takes you to its owners website'
Make sure 'size of text & images' is set to 100%
Confirm these changes and exit and restart FM

Can't make them work. Still showing the default FM ads.
Any chance to share the template you use for the adboards, as some portuguese ads need updating.

If some ads are out of date you can do one of the following:
1) Provide me with photographs of the new boards and state which they are replacing
or
2) Create a png image (size: 1024 x 128) of the new boards to include
I don't have a template, as I just ask Photoshop to create a new image that size

This has no relevance to ad boards, I would suggest asking in one of the skin threads or at www.footballmanager.com

After re-reading through the instructions, I agree that Step 4 wasn't exactly clear.
I have now re-worded it in a way that should make it easier to understand
Hope that helps...

The adverts changed but they are remaining the same no matter what league or competition is being played. How can I fix this? Thanks.

Sorry, still haven't got it to work. I put the 'club adboards' and 'no club adboards' folders into a seperate folder in the 'My Documents /Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2014/' part and deleted the skin cache and reloaded the skin.

Still now working. Anything you can recommend?

Once that was done did you have step 5 done correctly?
(I would suggest using club adboards option)
Copy and paste the fm.xml file from the 'club adboards' folder to the 'ads' folder you created earlier (Step 3)

Firstly, there are certainly ads for the Asian champions league in the pack, if yours are missing I suggest checking your download
(They are in the current pack - I checked)
You should be able to find them at:
graphics/ pictures/ ads/ asia/ competitions/ champions league

I will have to look into the portugal section of the XML -
If you know what the problems were, then please let me know and I will make the required changes for the next update

Do you have some sort of filter you put on the ads to make them look real?
I'm trying to make my own for my Crewe-save, so i would really appreciate an answer.

I have tried everything as instructed but I am only seeing the default ads from the pack in all competitions. Please help me resolve this guys because I can imagine how great it is to see the different ads from all competitions. It would just make the game seem even more realistic!

Please make sure you have the xml correctly located, seeing the default fm boards means that the game isn't attempting to use any alternates.
Having the xml incorrectly positioned could cause this.
You should have your chosen xml here:
My Documents/ Sports Interactive/ Football Manager 2014/ ads/ HERE

I've posted this before. The German Bundesliga doesn't work properly. It displays a mixture of the default and Germany boards, mostly the default ones.. Same with the German cup. The German supercup only displays the default boards..

All the other leagues I've tried work perfectly...

I'm using the NO CLUBS .xml.

You would be correct - (the problem stems from the 14.03 German update)
I will make changes to the xml for 14.04 that should solve the issue
