FM18 Adboard Patch


Features
  • Major overhaul of xml files removing close to 1000 dead or duplicate files
  • Improved adboard’s in several leagues and new adboard’s for all continental cups
  • New nation specific default adboards for all club competitions
For FM18 I am creating a brand-new XML file, this has allowed me to remove close to a 1000 dead and duplicate adboard’s from the patch, with this new format it should also be easier to update adboard’s. More significantly due to a change in structure of the FM17 xml file I have been able to assign every nation their own default adboards which means for the first time nation specific default adboards have been included for all licenced leagues and competitions

I have also removed every club adboard over 1 year old from the file as many are now very out of date and I just didn’t have the time to add all clubs back into the new xml file however hopefully this will encourage more people to contribute to the patch.

My current aim for the patch is to create individual club adboard’s for every club playing in the English & Scottish Premiership, Championship, League One and League Two, if anyone can contribute then either reply in the thread or send me a message for further details.

F.A.Q


Where should I install the files too?

XML files
https://s26.postimg.cc/7auxuz93d/xml.png

Graphics
https://s26.postimg.cc/kiubnx6mh/graphics.png

Videos
https://s26.postimg.cc/57kinb9ah/videos.png

Preferences
https://s26.postimg.cc/e3var8zwp/preferences.png

Why are there two different xml files?

As the folder names suggest one xml file contains club specific ad-boards and one doesn’t. This has been done as in previous patches people have complained that they see clubs specific ad-boards 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 ad-boards in the Premiership and the Champions league ad-boards 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 FM17
4. Replace the club specific config file with the non club config file.
5. Re-start FM17
6. Play your Champions League match (Champions League ads will show).

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 video adboards, the below image shows the difference between FM17 & FM18

How to make and code Static Adboards

Static adboards should be 1024 x 128 and in png format, below is a video demonstrating some simple adboards being made in photoshop for Fifa 13, the process is pretty much the same for FM but with the above image sizes. Link to adboard tutorial

Once you have made an adboard follow the below instructions to code it.

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 bottom of the xml file

<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

- 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 ad-board (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 of the ad-board 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="17">
<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.

How to make a Video Adboard


Required ResourcesIn 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.
https://s26.postimg.cc/po30w3g3t/temp.png

Once made from the Layer menu select Merge Layers, then copy the adboard.
https://s26.postimg.cc/p3jefnxhl/sd1.png

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.
https://s26.postimg.cc/tyd3dxvt5/sd_2_zpsks8joleo.png_original.png


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.
https://s26.postimg.cc/m32jz4m6h/move.png

https://s26.postimg.cc/p3jefnxhl/sd1.png


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.
https://s26.postimg.cc/4zzs3m5hl/create_video.png


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.
https://s26.postimg.cc/4yufnxt1l/time.png

https://s26.postimg.cc/eod86r0ax/sd_6_zpscovag3nq.png_original.png


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
https://s26.postimg.cc/g9shykaix/time_1.png


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.
https://s26.postimg.cc/cz44yokll/sd_8_zpsnhabs4ce.png_original.png

https://s26.postimg.cc/p3jefnxhl/sd1.png


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.
https://s26.postimg.cc/jhwzblwsp/action.png


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)
https://s26.postimg.cc/940qw41ft/multiply_layers.png


11.
We now need to convert our Gif file. First we go to Cloud Convert, upload your gif file choosing a .avi conversion and download the converted file.

11.
In your download folder hold down your shift key, right click and select Open Command Window Here. Assuming that our file is called SD.avi type the following command

ffmpeg -i SD.avi SD.ivf
This will instruct ffmpeg to convert the avi file into an ivf file and we now have a finished useable adboard.

I've done boards for all 12 Welsh Premier League clubs and redone the generic league boards. May add some lower league clubs too if I can. (I'll definitely do Rhyl and possibly Airbus/Caernarfon)

Nice one mate if you drop me a link via PM I'll add them to the patch

If by dynamic adboards, you mean video adboards then yes. On the subject of video adboards we can now code video adboards to be displayed for any club and or competition.

Just to give people an update, I’ve updated Bournemouth, Burnley, Crystal Palace, Huddersfield, Watford and West Brom to display animated ads.

I need to add RhylfcKiko’s Welsh ads and Aragornx17’s animated ads for Turkey and the World Cup once this is done I can release the first version of the patch.

The only issue is with all the new stadium models all of the upper tier boards and banners need redone, I can either re do these and hold back the patch for a few weeks or release the patch with no/limited banners and upper tier boards and release them as an update once they are ready, what is everyone’s preference?

I would personally suggest releasing it now and then adding on to it at a later stage, especially in view of the changes in the file structure between FM17 and FM18
