No, this setting does not affect the match engine

Hello everyone. can someone help me solve?

Hey Rab, so i got promoted to Ligue 1 with Paris FC and now im getting the national team static boards when i play at home, i've replaced both boards with my own, is there anyway at all to fit more then two though ads though, i've attached a photo as reference.

Have you modified the XML file in any way? Having tested both xml files Ligue 1 works as intented

Can you do video adboard for Extremadura UD (LaLiga Smartbank)? I tried to do it but I only see the general adboard for LaLiga

Do you know about this random danish ad? It's a bit annoying that it's there more often than your adboards

@rabcp I don't see at your wip teams Liverpool as well. Do you intend to add some banners of Liverpool such as the others big english teams too?

love the work here

I found some adboards and banners on some forum. They are for fm16 template, but if you could try and put them into fm20, would be perfect!

Hi, any idea of why mine looks like that? I'm coaching in Austria 1st division.



Thanks in advance.

The football manager adboards are loaded as a fall back when the game is unable to find the required graphics, this means you have missing files. The patches need to be installed in order e.g. V1.0 -> V.1 -> V.2

all links are in the first post of this thread

I have a suggestion for the next FM 21 to change these Polish adboards, of course, the stationary ones are not led because they are so many years old and it would plant something new

How many files are in the graphics/pictures/ads folder and what is its size?

My folder stats currently read: 4483 files, 554 Folders & Size 328MB

Hi mate!
You are doing a great job and i love it really. I hoped you could create this because it would really immerse the playing experience.

I compiled pictures for each team, it includes banners and adboards. Its 10 teams. Hopefully you can inlude it in one of your future updates.

I would be extatic if i see this ingame

Its in 2 parts because i couldnt upload it in one file.

Thank you so much!

These are my suggestions !!!

Hello, i've done some changes for the Belgian Pro League adboards.
I also added clubs adboards for Anderlecht, Brugge, Gent, Antwerp & Standard de Liège, and for the Croky Cup competition.

I also checked issues for the Ligue 2 and that's what i found :

<!-- French Ligue 2 ads -->

How to make a Video Adboard

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.
