I have dedicated 1000's of hours, making and coding adbaords for Football Manager since 2008. These adbaord patches have attracted over 100,000 downloads and remain the only real way to inject some personality into the Football Manager match engine. While this is a free patch if you wish to donate as way of thanking me for my time you can do so by the link below

If playing on a MAC system install the graphics to this path;

Why are there two different xml files?
As the folder names suggest one xml file contains club specific adboards and one does not. This has been done as in previous patches people have complained that they see clubs specific adboards in cup competitions. Due the way the xml file there is no way around this using code. The only solution is the use of two files, the pictures below demonstrate the difference in the xml files.
Why are my video adboards are black?
Either your video ads are in the wrong location or your system can not cope with HD graphics.
- Ensure you video ads are in this location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2020\data\simatchviewer_uncompressed\videos
- Try re-naming the 'HD' folder in the above location to 'SD' this tricks the system into treating the video as SD files.
- Within FM21 open up the preferences menu and ensure with the ‘Match’ tab that the ‘graphics quality’ is set at least medium.
What happened to the static ads?
This error occus when FM can not find the correct static ads.
- Ensure the static ads are the the following location:
PC - Documents/Sports Interactive/football manager 2020/graphics/pictures/ads
MAC - Users/YOUR Mac USERNAME/Library/Application Support/Sports Interactive/football manager 2020/graphics/pictures/ads
- Ensure this path (graphics/pictures/ads) contains only lowercase charcters.
rabcp
Static adboards should be 1024 x 128 and in png format, below is a video demonstrating the creation of a simple static adboard.
https://youtu.be/IiilCjasmkc
Once you have made an adboard save it to a folder within My Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2020/graphics/ads
How to code an adboard
Open up the ads.xml file located My Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2020/ads
Step one
First of all you have to load the graphics into FM20 which is done by the following piece of code the near the top of the xml file
<!-- Hibernian ads -->
<record id="2191" path="pictures/ads/generic/macron b"/>
What this code means
<!-- Hibernian ads --> identifies to whoever is reading the xml file what this piece of code is for adboards specific to Hibernian
<record id="2191" - Assigns a unique id number to specific adboard (you makes this number up but make sure it is not already in use elsewhere in the config)
path="pictures/ads/generic/macron b"/> - Location of the adboard which has just been given a unique id number
Step Two
The next bit of code determines where the previously assigned ad-boards will be displayed
<!-- Hibernian, rabcp -->
<list id="1517">
<integer value="2191"/>
<integer value="2192"/>
<integer value="2193"/>
<integer value="2191"/>
<integer value="2192"/>
<integer value="2193"/>
.
.
.
</list>
What this code means
<!-- Hibernian, rabcp --> -identifies to whoever is reading the xml file what this piece of code is for adboards specific to Hibernian with the content made by rabcp
<list id="17"> - Unique id of the competition/clubs the ad-boards are for
<integer value="2191"/> - Positions adboard number 2191 in to be displayed for games in the assigned competition/club.
When we load up Football Manager we can no see that our adboard is displayed within the game
rabcp
I was asked by @wkdsoul if it was possible to position adboards in certain positions and thought I'd put together this tutorial to demonstrate how its done. While is it possible to place adboards in certain positions it mainly works with clubs who use pitch side LCD ads. The process is a little complex as bar the pitchside adboards the adboard numbers at times follow no logical pattern and can repeat numbers depending on the stadium model.
The support files in this link are needed for this method - Download
Step One
We have the Juventus stadium displaying generic adboards, however we want to place a fan banner in the middle of the goal, to do this we have to know how to assign adboards to certain positions
Install the attached graphic files and open up the ads.xml file in the football manager folder and the XML Insert LCD file from the download. in the XML Insert LCD file locate the following code;
<!-- Club section for club ID #661 -->
<list id="1139">
<integer value="3500"/>
<integer value="661000"/>
<integer value="661001"/>
.
.
.
</list>
Change the <list id="1139"> code to include your clubs ID number, paste this into the Ads.xml file and load up FM18 again, Our match with Juventus now looks like this;
We now have adboards which tell us which number each adboard is within the xml file, note that not all adboards are unique and adboard '0' will be repeated 3 times on this screen.
Step Two
We now need to assign our banners to correct positions. My code here assigns my 3 new adboards to the game (See the guide on page 1 for more detailed instructions).
<!-- Juventus ads -->
<record id="8000" path="pictures/ads/generic/black"/>
<record id="8001" path="pictures/ads/europe/italy/clubs/juventus/drughi"/>
<record id="8002" path="pictures/ads/europe/italy/clubs/juventus/sud"/>
I want a plain black adboard to display at adboard '0' and my banners behind the goal, in this case Drughi as adboard '32' and Sud as adboard '31'.
We now go back to our first piece of code to place these 3 new boards in there correct position, we know that <integer value="661000"/> represents adboard '0' so we change this to <integer value="8000"/>, likewise we change <integer value="661031"/> adboard '31' to <integer value="8002"/> 'Drughi' and <integer value="661032"/> adboard '32' to <integer value="8001"/> 'Sud'
<!-- Juventus -->
<list id="1139">
<integer value="3500"/>
<integer value="8000"/>
<integer value="661001"/>
.
.
.
<integer value="8002"/>
<integer value="8001"/>
</list>
load up FM18 and we get this result

Required Resources
- Adobe Photoshop
- LCD Texture - Download
- Gif to Avi Converter - Link
- XMedia Recode - Download
- Calculator
In this post, I'll explain how to make a simple scrolling video adboard, if people want it I can post a few minor guides for more advanced effects with video adboards such as spinning images, zooming in and out of images etc.1.
First of all, we need to make our adboard, In Photoshop create a new image sized 2816 x 88 pixels, this is the adboard size I have been using to date. Within the game adboards are repeated twice behind the goals and three times along the pitch. This is where the calculator comes in, the gaps between all images (e.g. Sportsdirect.com in this case) need to be the same size. they should also be half the size at the start and end of the image. This will ensure that when the ads line up they maintain the same pattern.
Once made from the Layer menu select Merge Layers, then copy the adboard.
2.
Create a new image double the length of the adboard (5632 x 88 pixels) and paste the adboard at the start and end of the new image. Again, merge the layers, we need this size of image to create the scrolling effect. As you can see because of the above calculations the gaps between all images are the same size when combined.
3.
Now we create our image for the actual adboard, sized 2816 x 88 pixels. We want the adboard to scroll from left to right so once the previous (5632 x 88) image is pasted onto this image we want the end of the adboard to be line up with the edge at left hand side of our new image.
4.
We now need to create the image effect, to do this we create a Video Timeline, select the Window Menu thenTimeline. Once the Timeline Menu appears at the bottom of the screen select the Create Video Timeline option.
5.
In Photoshop, the standard timeline is 5 seconds, for this adboard we want to make it 10 seconds. To do this we click on the end of the layer one timeline (highlighted) and drag right until the timeline becomes 10 seconds long.
6.
We now want to create our start and end points of the animation of the adboard. With the timeline bar at the start of the timeframe (Blue Arrow) click the position action then drag the blue arrow to the end of the timeline and click the position action again
7.
With the timeline now at the 10 second point we drag the image all the way across from left to right until the end of the image now meets the left edge of the border, this creates the scrolling effect, if you select the play option in the timeline tab you'll see the effect in photoshop.
8.
We now save the image. File → Export → Save for Web (Legacy)
9.
Open up the saved image, this time the image will display each separate frame in the timeline and as a layer. We now want to give our adboard a LCD texture. Open the Video.png file and copy the image and then switch back to your gif. Click the tab with 3 lines and then Select All Frames then click on the very last layer.
10.
Paste the adboard texture. Every frame will now just be the texture, however once we apply the Multiply effect we will now have every frame displaying our intended image with a LCD effect. We then save our final adboard again. File → Export → Save for Web (Legacy)
11.
We now need to convert our Gif file. First we go to convertio, upload your gif file choosing a .avi conversion and download the converted file.
11.
...
we now have a finished useable adboard.
rabcp
Open up the ads.xml file located My Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2018/ads
First of all you have to load the graphics into FM18 which is done by the following piece of code the near the top of the xml file
<!-- Hibernian ads, rabcp -->
<record id="2190" path="video_ads/scotland/clubs/macron" animated="true"/>
<record id="2191" path="pictures/ads/europe/clubs/scotland/spl/hibernian/marathonbet"/>
<record id="2192" path="pictures/ads/europe/clubs/scotland/spl/hibernian/skysports"/>
<record id="2193" path="pictures/ads/europe/clubs/scotland/spl/hibernian/espn"/>
What this code means
<record id="2191" - Assigns a unique id number to specific ad-board (you makes this number up but make sure it is not already in use elsewhere in the config)
path="video_ads/scotland/clubs/macron" animated="true"/> Location of a video adboard which has just been given a unique id number
path="pictures/ads/europe/clubs/scotland/spl/hibernian/marathonbet"/> - Location of a static adboard which has just been given a unique id number
The next bit of code determines where the previously assigned ad-boards will be displayed
<!-- Hibernian, rabcp -->
<list id="1575">
<integer value="2190"/>
<integer value="2191"/>
<integer value="2192"/>
<integer value="2193"/>
<integer value="2191"/>
<integer value="2192"/>
<integer value="2193"/>
</list>
What this code means
<!-- Hibernian, rabcp --> - Just identifies to whoever is reading the xml file what this piece of code is for competitions/clubs along with the author of the adboards.
<list id="17"> - Unique id of the competition/clubs the ad-boards are for
<integer value="2191"/> - Positions adboard number 2191 in to be displayed for games in the assigned competition/club.
No as Hibernian play in a ground under 30,000 static adboards will display automatically as below;
To allow Hibernian to display Video ads the following piece of code needs added at the bottom of the xml file, this can also been done for competitons or international teams;
<!-- All Hibernian home matches have to use LED -->
<record id="1575" led_force_flag="true" concatenate_next="true"/>
This code then turns on video ads and gives the below result
rabcp
Rolling Object
This tutorial will explain how to create the rolling effect below.
Step 1
To begin my image has 3 layers, Background, Taxi and Logo. In this image we want to apply the rolling effect to the Logo layer. To apply this sort of effect we need to make a Smart object to do this we right click on the Logo Layer and select the Convert to Smart Object option.
Step 2
Our next step is to create a beginning and end of the animation, this is done by dragging the timeline to the desired start point and selection the Transform option, this will give our logo a starting position. Next we move the timeline along and again select the Transform option, this now gives us an end position. At this point the Logo should be dragged to the desired end position
Step 3
At this point our logo travel's from one end of the D Taxis text to the other, now we want to add a rolling effect. This is achieved by moving the timeline along 00.05 and again selecting the Transform option, now we want to rotate the angle 180 degrees this is done by selecting; Edit > Transform > Rotate then typing 180 in the angle field.
Step 4
Repeat the above step every 0.05 seconds mixing between 180 and 0 degrees....0..180..0..180..0..180..0..180..0
Now we have the finished effect, if the image is going from right to left instead then angles would be 0 and -180

@rabcp. I'm going to try to do some video adboards for a club I've created. Thank you for providing a tutorial and the tools you use. Xmedia Recode is only available on Windows, do you know of a similar software for macOS, please? Thanks.
Cheers
Doddo04
I hope you can do more German Teams.

Tottenham, Sheff Utd & Wolves
Sorry I've never owned a Mac so have no idea what video converter would be compatible, I hope you find one though.
Thanks, I'm planning on doing some Bundesliga teams.
I'll be sticking with the EPL anti racism adboard but I might make a FIFA 2020 one.
Cheers
Rivanov
Any chance you will also create Italian Serie A adboards?

Potentially, at the very least I’ll be updating the generic Serie A video ads and adding ultra banners to Juventus, Inter, Roma & Napoli

By the way, these updates look great. This is the first time I've used the patch and I really enjoy it in my LLM save. When my team gets promoted I hope to enjoy these video ads too.

There should have been video ads for the FA Trophy Final! Maybe try renaming the 'HD' folder to 'SD', found here; C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2020\data\simatchviewer_uncompressed\videos
