is that right? the middle line?
White Flag
And in the video_ads folder England is currently called "eng", the patched files are in folder "england". Perhaps the reason for the problem above ?
Do we need to add "england" in addition to "eng", or merge the two ? If merge then which goes into which ?
Ta.
rabcp
The 'eng' folder is the original FM ads, none of these are used, you can even delete it if you desire. As long as the new 'England' folder is the 'video ads' folder then everything will work fine.
Yeah that's all correct

I want to update the community with my future plans for the Adboard Patch in the lead up to FM18 some 3-4 months away.
- Major overhaul of xml files removing close to 1000 dead or duplicate files
- Improved adboard’s in several leagues and new adboard’s for all continental cups
- Potential removal of any club adboard’s which are over 3 years old
- New adboard’s for 135 English & Scottish league clubs
I'm currently working on creating a brand-new XML file for the launch of FM18. This will hopefully allow me to remove close to a 1000 dead and duplicate adboard’s from the patch, with this new format it should also be easier to update adboard’s. The idea is to reformat every nation to the same format as the new Norwegian adboard’s that way when say I want to update an Adidas adboard I only need to change one 'master' adboard and this would update every Adidas adboard in the game. When doing this I can also update several dated adboard’s in various leagues.I'm considering removing every club adboard over 3 years old from the file as many are now very out of date, What’s everyone one’s thoughts on this?
Finally, I want to create individual club adboard’s for every club playing in the English & Scottish Premiership, Championship, League one and League two based on the 17/18 season. This adds up to 135 teams and is far too much work for me to undertake on my own so I'd be looking for people to help with this, if anyone can contribute then either reply in the thread or send me a message for further details.
In line with the first part of this post I’ll be updating all of the Continental Competition Adboard’s as I continue to work on the new xml file, starting with Africa below. Throughout this work I will still be working on creating Video ads for all EPL clubs and will update the first 10 clubs if needed based on adboard’s used this season.

I'm up for taking a look at the lower levels of the english football pyramid (League 1 & 2 - Non-video boards)
This does greatly depend on what quality of highlights footage I am able to get hold of however.
(Rabcp - I can let you know what ads Southampton are displaying after their game 12/8/17)

I created some non-league ad-boards a while back which never saw the light of day. PM me later in the year and I will try to accomodate.
Does anyone know what could be the problem?
rabcp
Thanks Tv_Capper,
No problem Persee
I'll keep that in mind, feel free to message me whenever in case I forget but I'll include anything you send as long as its off a high enough quality
It looks as if your file locations are wrong, double check them then post the locations in here
I suppose this is the correct folder for all the files(except the steam folder.)
Documents > Sports Interactive > Football Manager 2017 - looks like this:
Ads folder:
Graphics > pictures > ads :
What can the problem be?
rabcp
That all looks correct, try clearing the graphics cache and reloading the skin in the FM17 preferences section.
rabcp
No problem mate
Carsie
Does ps_beldjs, England Leagues Update lvl 10 update work with this?
Carsie
rabcp
Due to the way the config file for adboards work no adboard patches are cross compatible
It sounds like you have the graphics folder in the wrong location, can you expand on what you mean by 'nothing come up'
Persee
Carsie
Graphics Folder is in Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2017
as for the HD ones they are in the steam location.
In the Old Firm game the adboards was just black.
As for my Billericay Town FC save currently playing in National League South still showing up the original default adboards
