I’d wait till I start the FM18 thread as I’ve made a brand new xml file for FM18

The folder locations for video ads have changed for FM18 so video ads for FM18 need a new location and an updated xml file

Fixed it, unpacked simatchviewer_uncompressed, added my videos folder in to replace the one in there. Now working
Emba
Also, do i need "FM16 adboard patch" installed to get it to work?
Awesome work!
rabcp
For FM17 you need all of the above, if it’s for FM18 you’re best waiting on the new patch
Emba

Sounds easy. But when i extracted "16.01 ad pack" i didnt had an steam folder and i didnt had a map called ‘Non LCD Adboards’
The rest seems to be in order though.
rabcp
That’s because LCD adboards where a new addition to FM17

If i am to guess. It is something with an XML-file? Pls help this poor bastard.

"Choose your prefered xml file and copy and paste this file over the existing fm.xml file in the football manager 2017/ads directory"
Im such a noob. I dont understand this question. Where can i get this xml file? Where should i put it?
Can anyone look at my post above. Have i put the maps in right paths?
rabcp
Choose which ever xml file you wish to use eityer club/no club/no lcd, open that folder and copy and paste the xml file to the football manager/2017/ads folder
Emba
And again! Many thx to an amazing pack.
rabcp
Use the 'no clubs' xml
