I'm not the author of this tremendous file, so can't really help you with that. I do believe there's a separate thread for requests, where ideally you provided images of what the club's adboards are comprised of 👍

 

Sorry about that mate, i thought you were the author, but thanks for posting advice. i will put my request in another thread like you say.

The default user data folder is Documents \ Sports Interactive \ Football Manager 21

 

Doesn't seem to be the case on your system. You can have it elsewhere, but you have to tell the game to look in that place for the graphics.

 

Funnily enough i seem to have got it working by removing the “other” sports interactive folder (the one the game does not save games to). Thanks for following up with this, and for all the great work you have done on these ad boards. Can i request you to do specific ones for Aldershot here or should i request that somewhere else?

I am really excited to have these ad boards in my game. I have followed the instruction a few times now and i still just get the 2008 football manager ad board around the edge of the pitch and no images on the upper stands banners, i have installed the V.10 and V1.1 update as instructed,  now granted my team is Aldershot (in the English Vanarama National League) and i cannot see specific ad boards for that team in the files, but i thought maybe the generic ones would kick in their place. I should also mention my FM21 game saves all the games etc to a slightly different area than the usual. Mine is in C: drive-users-username-Sports interactive-Football manager 2021etc.  but FM2021 also created another folder in  C:drive-documents-Sports interactive- Football manager 2021 folder as well. This other folder seems redundant and will not let me save any games to it. Does that have any impact on this ad board mod? I thought i would be a clever sod and put all the relevant files in both sports interactive folders but the results are still the same. Any help you can give would be much appreciated as the time and effort you have put into this mod makes the match game days look even better. I stand by to send you screenshots.

 

Also is this were i beg for some ad boards for the Aldershot stadium?

 

Cheers

Let me know if you need to see any other screenshot. 

 

Thanks
