Adboard Patch removed from site

I know there is tutorials on how to create your own adboards but is there no tutorials on how to create the xml?That way I could at least try add a few to my own game

My last game, which I bought with SI,I'd rather stay with FM22 with all the mods than support a game that comes out as a product made at 50 percent.

any proof si really told you to do this 

A subtle read through the thread might give you the answer …

Reached an end of season on my FM20 save today and was planning to buy FM22 and start new tomorrow. Don't think I'll be doing that now.

Thanks @rabcp for all the hard work you have put in over the years.

Instead of going forward we are going backwards i would not be surprised, if we have to play with the like of Ryan Giggles, David Peckham, Manchester Reds/Blues   

I could just about accept the Man United debacle when people were being served takedown notices and even Stam at FM scout received threatening legal letters but if this is a sign of things to come which it invariably will be then I doubt I will continue with the game or future releases, a massive part of the fun of setting a new save up was updating all the downloads from kits and badges to faces and stadiums, colour fixes, trophies, agents etc etc etc.

I would not be surprised if Zebre and Man UFC become hardcoded on next release. I've just done a complete wipe of FM22 in order to fresh download everything for a new save (I always reset for a new big save to prevent potential conflicts and crashdumps) and the second thing i go to download is gone, hopefully i can find it hosted elsewhere or on a cached page.

edit: Was the last released version 24 Oct? Just recovering deleted recycle bin files at the moment.

Such a shame as this was a wonderful addition to the game, i do hope it may return at some stage.

Getting tired of this constant corporate strain of creativity that enhances their game. @rabcp your time and your work is not in vain. Your efforts finally gave the game some soul and feeling of authenticity beyond logos and kits. Thank you. I really do hope you'll find a way to continue your work. The game needs talent like yours.

@rabcp I feel so bad for you mate. You put countless hours in improving whe vanilla game, which sucks with the default adboards. 

Hopeffully SI wont go for other mods too cause if they do that wont be good for the future of this game.

Question I have is, how do you now remove it all? I had it installed but now have the black boards of death. Given the OG thread has gone with installation instructions I cant simply follow them and remove the content from my FM save. I'm hoping to default back to the ones that are there at the beginning of the save.

Can anyone help? It shouldn't really bother me but it is really getting on my nerves.

A terrible move by SI in my opinion, again, as others have said thanks for the invaluable content over the years

have they also banned stadium banners or is it just adboards

guys, tell me how to find out the id for installing billboards of a certain championship? for example kazakhstan

Mods-why was my post removed defending @rabcp work?

has anyone figured out how to fix the black boards?

i tried reinstalling but it didn't help

How can i restore to the original adboards?

Remove all the folders you initially installed for the adboard patch.

Can anyone confirm the ads still work? Or do they give black ads/aren't they working anymore on the latest patch? And just like anyone else: this is a terrible decision and it added so much to the user experience for me. They should work something out where at least these adds get alternated with their ads. Or that they still link to the original ads when clicked on or something like that. I hate those standard FM ads… 

still work fine

Guys, I know my opinion will not be what a lot of people want to hear, but you can't blame business for being business. They have to fulfill contracts and stuff which provides them the money they get from these advertisers. Nobody will say “OK, we have enough money to pay our bills, lets stop” this is not how business works. Also they don't have just one game to put their effort on. Nobody running a business will say no to money and nobody will pay for stuff you don't provide. Lets say you are a sponsor and in a lot of user generated content you see adidas advertisement (which they get for free) and yours maybe not even visible, why should you pay for it? They will call Sega and SI to stop it or they will stop paying → Sega and SI will give this to the sites. Also the example with adidas - why should they ever consider to sponsor the game, while they know they will be included for free? I understand there is a lot of effort in this modification and a lot of people like it, but this is about a lot of money and a lot of gratis advertisement.

By the way it is still possible to do this on your own, I did a lot of local advertisement for my local club in the past. This game is still modfriendly.

SI are on a slippery slope, we need a new game to give some competition.

at the end of the day it’s a database with graphics

take away the reality of kits, faces, logos etc then the game won’t be worth buying

back in the 90s we had so many good footy games, each making the others improve, we need to get back to this situation

Hi. I am really new to this so need advise.

I am looking to add the third yellow to my FM22 and need help to 1. find this 2. upload it.

Can you help?

Thanks

3rd yellow what?

Kit . . Sorry 

This thread has got nothing to do with kits 😕

What kit style are you referring to? Post this in the respective thread in the respective kit style's forum 👍

Some teams have 3rd kit but the game don't have. You must go to the editor and add there. Like this https://sortitoutsi.net/content/59439/turn-on-missing-3rd-kits-liga-bwin-and-colours-corrections

What club / league do you need?

southend in national league. Many thanks, unfortunately a pc novice lol

Once you have started a game, can you still go to editor and upload into the same game u have saved?
