Hi again.

I've Finished Uruguay, finally i've added a 5th Team, who was Montevideo Wanderers because they played continental competition this year.

Link (Only the Uruguayan Adboards and the code): Uruguay Adboards

In the next days i'll start with Colombian league, the clubs who have adboards are: Deportivo Cali, Millonarios, Junior, Atletico Nacional, Once Caldas, Santa Fe, America de Cali (altough they played in second division) and Independiente de Medellin.

Future plans are Update the Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana Adboards, because the changed main sponsors few years ago, and maybe include club adboards for most important teams of non sudamerican playable leagues.

Regards!

I have a problem, team adboards don't show up even with World Cup update (I use club ads xml and I don't have done any edit to it). What actually shows up are the ones included in "default" folder (Heineken, Powerade, Continental etc.).
I am sure it's not a problem of skin cache nor folders misplacement.

First must make sure that your playing a competitive match (ie: League or Cup games)

If your playing any sort of friendly match that can cause the default boards you list, to appear instead

^ I'd suggest clearing the skin cache.

As a matter of interest, what skin is that?

The skin I`m using is `Alavanja 14 Ultimate`, should I change it back to the default `football manager` in order to solve the ad board problem??

No the skin has nothing to do with the adboards, but resetting the skin cache should refresh all graphics (including the adboards)

Yes, I m sure I ve reset the `cache` button & clicked `reload skin`.
Is it applicable to a saved game? I `m playing with a saved game....

Hello,

Well, judging by the comments above I'm not the only one struggling with the adboard patch installation. I'm pretty sure I've followed the instructions properly several times just in case something went wrong in my first attemp to install it. My only guess, at first, was some kind of incompatiblity with my skin, 125% zoom (necessary for the sake of my eyes xD), or Enhanced Pitches. But in previous pages of this threat I red people talking about how they get the patch running no matter what skin, 125% zoom or another patchs.

Maybe I missed something because of my average-low level of english, but I doubt it too. So now I'm totally lost and waiting for some wise advice from the experts and veterans in here. This works looks amazing and exactly one of the features that I've been looking forward since the game came up, so it will bother me a lot being unable to enjoy it for mysterious reasons.

Thank you in advance!

Firstly I'll answer a few questions,

The skin your running should make no difference, however I only use the default dark skin.
Zoom shouldn't make a difference either but again I stick to the standard 100%
This pack should work fine with any kits, logos or stadium image packs you use
It WILL NOT work however if you try and combine it with any other ad boards

Batiron, I'd agree with daherlihy here,
Your screen shot shows the default FM boards so its either not finding the new ads or its not fully set up correctly
Your preferences screen should look like this:
http://i1154.photobucket.com/albums/p527/tv_capper/cache_zps33b88f46.jpg

The Appearance box here is the area to check
After installing the pack untick use caching
then use the Clear Cache
the tick reload skin on confirm

I tried with clean cache but still no sign of the ad boards in game, just the standard ones.The Appearance box screen in fm looks like it's supposed to. In terms of boards, this is the first I intend to ad in the fm directory, so one thing less to point.

I'm gonna delete the folders and reinstall the patch one more time. I' want to be sure that I place all the folders in the right places, so first, I let some screenshots of my actual set up:

Thank you for the advice!
By following the instruction, the default ones remain there..:
1. both with or without clubs folders are put into the following directory
My documents/sports interactive/football manager 2014/ads

2. Choose one of the xml files to use either with or without clubs ads and copy and paste this file over the existing fm.xml file in the football manager 2014/ads directory.

I just don`t understand why I have to delete 1 with or without clubs folder in step 2 right after adding both folders in the same directory.
What exactly the action is by `Choosing` one of the xml to use in step 2??

Should I got a fresh new game ? I reloaded the skin in a saved game, but nothing changed...

Jrtn - Your pictures folder starts with a capital P - that could be the problem try renaming the folder in lowercase

Batiron - New game or Saved game the ads should work with both

In your My documents/sports interactive/football manager 2014/ads folder
There should be no folders, just 1 file called fm.xml

You have to choose which xml to use as they conflict with each other
Having the two xmls files in another folder is in case you want change to the club/no club xml later on

Got it, Tv. At the end solving the problem was as simple as make the change you suggest. I never thought about it when seeking solution. Didn't create clonflicts with facepacks in the same directory, so I looked elsewhere. Next time I know I have to be more exhaustive.

Thank you for taking the time for help me and others.

Hey! Is it possible to have AFC World Cup qualifiers adboards? Because it had generic adboards when I played them, And also is it possible to update the Asian Cup 2011 Qatar adboard for the Asian cup to Australia 2015? I don't know if other confederations have their own adboards but it would be nice if they had them? ?

Nice work btw!

I didn't catch the Man City game. But if I spot it during the MoTD highlights it will be added to the pack
also is it possible to update the Asian Cup 2011 Qatar adboard for the Asian cup to Australia 2015?
I don't see why not, I'll see what I can do...
