Q. Why are there two different xml files?
A. As the folder names suggest one xml file contains club specific adboards and one doesn’t. 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 would be the use of two files.
For example say you are Arsenal and want Arsenal specific adboards in the Premiership and the Champions league adboards in the Champions League you would follow these steps;
1. Load up FM with the Club Specific config file in use
2. Play your league game (Arsenal ads will show)
3. Before your Champions League game Save and quit FM13
4. Replace the club specific config file with the non club config file.
5. Re boot FM13
6. Play your Champions League match (Champions League ads will show)

How to code adboards
Open up the ads.xml file located My Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2013/Ads
First of all you have to load the graphics into FM13 which is done by the following piece of code the near the bottom of the xml file
<!-- Hibernian adboards -->
<record id="2191" path="pictures/ads/europe/clubs/scotland/spl/hibernian/puma"/>
<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
<!-- Hibernian adboards --> - Just identifies to whoever is reading the xml file what this piece of code is for competitions/clubs..
<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/europe/clubs/scotland/spl/hibernian/puma"/> - Location ot the adboard which has just been given a unique id number
The next bit of code determins where the previously assigned adboards will be displayed
<!-- Hibernian, rabcp -->
<list id="17">
<integer value="2191"/>
<integer value="2192"/>
<integer value="2193"/>
<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 adboards are for
<integer value="2191"/> - Positions adboard number 2191 in to be displayed for games in the assigned competition/club. This code needs repeated 44 more times as there are 45 adboard spaces on the maximumm pitch size

How far along are you?
rabcp
As yet there is nothing new to add so i'll upload a new version with fifa/pes 2012 adds replaced with 2013 along with updated Champions and Europa league ads within the next few days.
Right now I am accepting requests though

Hope your great adboard work continues. I have a few things to help make your pack even better if you don't mind...
In your last pack the following code was missing - can this be added to the new update?
<!-- Southampton ads -->
<record id="5030" path="pictures/ads/europe/england/clubs/southampton/1"/>
<record id="5031" path="pictures/ads/europe/england/clubs/southampton/2"/>
<record id="5032" path="pictures/ads/europe/england/clubs/southampton/3"/>
<record id="5033" path="pictures/ads/europe/england/clubs/southampton/4"/>
<record id="5034" path="pictures/ads/europe/england/clubs/southampton/5"/>
<record id="5035" path="pictures/ads/europe/england/clubs/southampton/6"/>
<record id="5036" path="pictures/ads/europe/england/clubs/southampton/7"/>
<record id="5037" path="pictures/ads/europe/england/clubs/southampton/8"/>
<record id="5038" path="pictures/ads/europe/england/clubs/southampton/9"/>
<record id="5039" path="pictures/ads/europe/england/clubs/southampton/10"/>
<record id="5040" path="pictures/ads/europe/england/clubs/southampton/11"/>
<record id="5041" path="pictures/ads/europe/england/clubs/southampton/12"/>
<record id="5042" path="pictures/ads/europe/england/clubs/southampton/13"/>
Someone in the old forum posted new Warrior adboards for Liverpool - I've put a link to them below in case you missed them
Stefg has also created a new FIFA advert
All the English clubs who had ads for 188 Bet had one with non english text can these be replaced with this more suitable one?
And on a final note, I have an list of ad boards used by Southampton on there promotion to the English Premier League. I have updated my own pack using my own created boards where needed. Would just the list be required or would you like photos to go with the list?

Cheers mate I'll get all of that updated, with bet 188 they do advertise in several Asian languages in premiership games so I'll keep it like that but rotate it with an English one too
No worries cheers mate
I'll get them added thanks
Cheers mate good to see you've picked up from where you left off with some cracking boards
