The FM18 Adboard Patch - V1.4 Out Now

Hello everyone, I still see adboards in black in some stadiums, in others I appear everything perfect, what will be the problem, is there any solution in the game? thank you very much greetings

Why are my video adboards are black?
This issue here is down to what I believe is a bug in the game. In FM17 when clubs had no video adboards assigned to them they loaded static adboards into the video adboards slots instead, for some reason FM18 is not doing this and just displays dead black video adboards

Hi some grounds with video adbaords (which work perfect, thankyou) with static adboards around the middle tier still appear white after applying your new update. Any way to address the issue? If not no worries. Many thanks.

i have followed the instructions carefully as per the download as i have previously done with the FM16 & FM17 Adboard patches, i dont have any blank or black adboards but all the adboards are default ones in both club and no club format which makes me think the XML file is not working?

Which xml file are you using and during which clubs matches are you experiencing this issue?

Can you post screenshots of your file locations

There you go mate hope you can help me out

Just tried to load my game now and the players shirt numbers are missing in the match engine?

You will need all 3
v1.0 was the original version, v1.1 & v1.2 added fixes and more clubs to the pack
So download v1.0 and then overwrite any files when installing v1.1 & v1.2

Hello,
I don't understand too much ...
I have download and install the 3 update, but I must also put the 3 XML files ??
Or would I need only the XML file of the last update?
Thank's for your Help

You only need one.
Club XML or NO Club XML

Okay, so if I understand correctly, I should have added myself in the XML file, when I put a new video adboard or a static adboard?
Thank's for your Help

Gonna have a go at those video ad boards, when I've cracked the basics, I'd appreciate those minor guides on other video affects rabcp please

So I managed to make my own & swapped it for the liverpool boards to make sure I done it right... my ad showed up and scrolling just like it should
still cant get it to work in my own stadium though, I've selected video boards in the pre-game editor for my team and made the necessary edits in the xml but ads on the video boards are always black??? even when I try some already boards from your pack, they dont work in my stadium? Any help appreciated

Can you post the edits you made to the xml?

Such a dumb arse, I know what I did... forgot the interger values for my team,
had them done for the static boards I made but forgot to add interger values for the video boards
All is good now thanks rabcp.

Any chance I get a small tut on some different effects?
your first one for the scrolling video board was easy to follow, had it done in no time at all.
Thanks

I'll try and get some uploaded over the next few weeks, is there any particular effects you are looking for?

Hello :-) ,

I noticed something during my 3D games with Adboards Videos ... I have the impression that the Abdoards during my game are not of the same quality as the ones I can see on your different Pictures? ... can I do anything to have better qualities? I find for example that the Abdoards or there is the color white in it, like the Adboards Tempobet, and the white is almost grey...
Thank's in advance for your help

That would be because of the LCD layer that gets applied I recon, think you'll fined it's the same fer all us and not just yerself

Install the patches in order to fix this issues, all links are in the first post of this thread

Thanks for that stadium static adboards now working fine but video boards are black in both club and no club mode where as before default video boards worked perfectly. Is there a file that needs deleting or renaming to make these video ads work?
