#528257 FM20 Adboard Patch - V1.4 Out Now!!!
rabcp
Sorry but I am no longer taking requests. I do not usually make video ads for clubs from non top leagues as it can take up to 2 hours per video adboard. This is too much time to spend on a club that most people who play the game will not encounter.
Ensure you have the bidstack fix installed this is included in all packs and instructions are in the read me and the video install guide
I only make fan banners that are in a permanent location within a stadium which match-up as close as possible to the stadium model used in FM, this is why Liverpool have none so far, I might make some for the Kop end at some point in the future
Thank you for your feedback.
The ads you have attached are made for FIFA not FM, they are in a differnt format, 4 years out of date and someone elses work, therfore, I will not be including them.

If I have time I'll include Leverkusen
Static adboards will feature in the next update, however, there is currently no release date for this.
The black ads means the XML can not load the video ads in to you game, this means that they are in wrong location or that your system can not handle 'HD' graphics, the 'simatchviewer_uncompressed' folder should be in this location:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2020\data
If that is correct then go this location C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2020\data\simatchviewer_uncompressed\videos and rename the 'HD' folder to 'SD' this tricks the system into treating the same graphics as standard definition.
This should result in you seeing the following
Have you modified the XML file in any way? Having tested both xml files Ligue 1 works as intented

Can you post a screenshot of what you seeing on a matchday
No, this setting does not affect the match engine
I can maybe produce some static ads for Paris FC

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

This is down to an error in your xml file, look at your code again, chances are you’ve missed a “/> after assigning a graphic to an id number

You might have more luck logging it as a bug on the sports interactive forum, as it’s either a bug or it’s just not possible but they may be able to clarify

Sure I'll add Sporting
AC Milan already have adboards and flags made, I may update these if needed but they where only made towards the end of last season.
As I have said to you numerous times via message, this is not possible via your set-up. You will get video and static ads to display pitchside but thats your limit. If the game can not load static ads into the stands without this patch then that means it is not possible!

Yes you need to install in order so V1.0 then V1.1 and then V1.2

The general advice is if the video adboards do not work it can be beacuse your graphics card can not cope with the demand of 'HD' graphics, however, renaming the 'HD' folder 'SD' tricks the system into treating the same files as gaphics which put a lower demand on your system.

You need to switch to the clubs xml file for Dortmund ads to show up
So clarify, you have a “SD” folder and no “HD” folder?
