Hi why a dont have adboard in there... ?
|https://images91.fotosik.pl/331/5d2ec6cb22e6d57dgen.jpgYour text to link here...

Probably because you ‘Graphics’ folder has an uppercase ‘G’ change it to lowercase ‘g’ giving you ‘graphics’ and it’ll work

I've just played an FA Cup semi final at Wembley and it shown the FA Cup boards, so that worked fine. Must just be finals?

There have been issues with semi finals, maybe the last patch resloved this?

When will your next update become available @rabcp
Can't wait!

I have 3 more adboards to make for the Champions League and then I need to code and test contributions from other authors, I'm hoping to have the update out by next Sunday (22/03/2020)

I think we've mentioned the before, but when using the No Club Ads, when you play in a final, it shows the static adboards of whoever is classed as the home team, as the example below, it think Man United are the home team. Is there any way to avoid this and get it to record the competition static ads instead of the club?

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/hfIE8SQXbXRxxtDDSCC6sOvpbvkaETSFxBLNGF5s.jpg

It’s a bug within the game, this use to only happen with super cup finals in previous versions, but in FM20 the match engine treats all matches at a neutral venue as a home/away game.

There where numerous requests to include banners in the no clubs ads xml so that flags would still be shown in Champions Leagues games etc. The only solution would be a 3rd xml file giving us, clubs ads, no club ads and fan/ultra banners only...

I’ll report the issue as a bug on the SI forums later on and provide a link so others can also flag the issue

hello, is there a method not to display the banners of the clubs during the cups (champions league, europa league, fa ...) but to see those of the respective competitions?
always using the club xml for other games ..

Yes, use the no clubs xml...

Hi there.

I have installed this mod, but I have an issue with Stuttgart.

When I play my games, behind the Mercedes Benz adboards there is a weird white/red blurry adboards with nothing on them.

The same happens during home games even in the Champions League.

Please see the following image....

Stuttgart Home game UCL : https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/BwlulWhSUUApCLtmkrnb2tRTYMKfnxV390SvArY9.jpg

compare this to, say a Roma or Atletico Madrid game.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/F5Tnkv5lh6kUPdSdqQssLDqFz4PyRvYbUCMZfCGl.jpg

How can I fix this? I would like to have UCL specific adboards and something better than white/red blurry adboards during all other games.

Thanks!!


Update : I also noticed another bug with this mod installed. When any team scores, the crowd is now delayed in their reaction. So say someone scores, before the crowd would almost instantly jump in joy. Now there is a good 3-5 second delay before the crowd begins jumping up and down. Why is this?!?

The issue with Stuttgart is due to them having no static adboards assigned to them, this will be addressed in the next update!

The crowd issue, I have replicated with and without this patch installed which means its a bug in the game, so looks as if the latest SI update has given us a new bug...

The ICC and emirates cup tournaments are on the 9th and 12th of august, so teams like Tottenham, Arsenal and Man Utd don't start there premier league campaigns on the opening weekend, its either the 14th or 21st August

Thanks for letting me know, I’ll look into this as the correct dates are set in the editor but FM appears to be using different dates

it's already lowercase. I always stuck with typing files/folders in lowercase to mirror what SI do/did.
I'm currently going to re-download all the files in order then delete all the current files and see if that works. Can I ask banners aren't only for EPL are they? First time for aaaaages I have started a save outside of England you see. I'm playing as BVB Dortmund

If you mean fan flags then none have been made for Bundesliga clubs as of yet

Don’t know what I did, but this is how it is now.

Is this correct?

That’s correct, the red adboards are down to a minor issue in the xml file which I’ll fix in the next update

@crackvictor
Great Adboards when will we became that Adboards with the next update?

I’ve finished video ads for the Serie A, next Onwant to try and make some for Portugal and then give the Champions and Europa league ads a quick update. I have a lot more free time over the coming weeks so progress should be quick

Hi , great work. Im having an issue however. The video ads are black, have changed the hd folder til sd. The banners are default Football manager ones. what have i done wrong?

Can you provide some screenshots of your folders. What teams/leagues are you experiencing this issue with?

I've got ad boards working in game but no banners around the stadium. Not sure why, any advice would be much appreciated. Regards

Chances are your Graphics folder is the issues make sure it's called "graphics" for some reason the uppercase "G" is the issue.

Can you see anything wrong with where I have installed the files? I think they are right but I cant get these to work for the life of me!

Can you post a screenshot of how they appear in the match engine? From what I can see from your screenshot you need rename the 'Graphics' folder to 'graphics' for some reason an uppercase G prevents the game from loading static ads.

Do the ads only work when playing certain clubs/leagues? i am managing in Northern Ireland, have placed all of the files in the Sports Interactive folder as instructed but I still just get the FM generic ads. Any help would be appreciated.

Sounds like the xml filder is in the wrong location, can you provide screenshots? Also the folders are suppose to be in the Football Manager 2020 folder, not just the Sports Interactive folder

Hi rabcp,

Thanks for your great work. Is it possible to place adboards (static ones that is) in a certain way in a small stadium or is it random or hard coded (I'm playing with a Vanarama South League team), please?
You have a section on your first page about positioning adboards with a link to a downloadable file which isn't availble anymore.

It is possible to set the order of pitch side adboards however, they will vary by pitch size. So for example if you set ads to show in a certain order for a league, there appearance in relation to the pith will differ between club with a small or large pitch.

I’ll re upload the required files this evening,

I forgot to ask by the way, is it possible to get static adboards to show around the pitch behind the video ads if they're not there already, or does it depend on the stadium type?

I'm playing as Newcastle and they should have both, but right now they only have the video ads around the pitch and static ads higher up.

Unfortunately this is hard coded within the game.

Hi mate,

this pack looks incredible, great work. I have been trying to get it to work but so far all the ad boards are showing as FM08. I have made the font the correct size, changed the folder from hd to sd and unchecked the 'takes to website' but nothing seems to work. I watched the video and am pretty sure all my folders are in the correct place.

I am playing in LigaMX but in the CONCACAF Champions League it is showing the FM08 banners too... Any ideas on what it could be that is stopping it from working? Did I need to start a new game?

This occurs when there is an error in the xm file, have you tried to modify the xml file in any way? I have checked the LigaMX and the CONCACAF Champions League and both work as intended.

Nice job. Does argentina ligue will be done ?

Thank you, there are Argentine ads within the game, they are in need of an update but as I never play the game outwith Europe they are not a priority for me in all honesty

Watching United actually winning a game of football inspired me to do the current static FA Cup ads and take a look at Tranmere's.

I've again added my fm.xml to reflect changes

Funnily enough after watching today’s games I’m currently updating the FA Cup video ads!

Hi Rab,

Amazing work, and when I get paid next I will support this as it must take a massive amount of time. One thing I noticed was BetFred Cup semi and finals at Hampden, seem to show video ads for Arsenal. Emirates, then adidas etc. Have I picked it up wrtong, or is the xml file pulling from the wrong place for the Betfred Cup. Thanks again.

Thanks for your support. I have just checked this out, for some reason FM is not treating the semi-final as a game at a neutral venue and is loading the 'home teams' ads, if the 'home team' do not have video ads (e.g. not the old firm) then default video ads are displayed instead. If you use the 'no clubs' xml file for matches at neutral venues then competition ads will show as intended.

I've made a few changes to some included in the pack.
I've made a new JD Sports and Pirelli board in the Europe Generic folder.
Updated Carmarthen Town, Bangor City and Wrexham
Made a new Crown Oil for Rochdale and ManUtd.com for Man Utd.

I've also included my fm.xml which reflects the changes to Carmarthen Town.

Cheers mate, I'll get these added

Turkish clubs banners. I mixed it up a bit while adding it to the XML file. If you can add these, I would be very pleased.When my school period is over, I will try to make additions myself. Thank you from now.(My English is not good I'm sorry.)

Sorry but I won’t be adding these, while I appreciate the effort, I would need permission from the initial creators of these files and even then, I would not use them as they are the wrong size and not realistic.

Hi guys, I play FM Touch 2020 on the iPad 12.9 Pro and make the additions to faces, logos, kits and the like, transferring them through the file share option on iTunes. Will these stadium ad boards and videos work with this format? There is now a clear cache button on the ios game, which means that a new skin isn't required to force the changes in game.

I've no idea to be honest, hopefully someone who has tried this with an ipad can provide an answer.

i installed your "Full Pack", because i dont use FM19 Adboard Files in FM20.

....

In your Tutorial Video for Installing your Adboard Patch - you don´t show one Step:

5. Choose your prefered xml file and copy and paste this file over the existing fm.xml file in the football manager 2020/ads directory.

In your "Read Me.doc" File, which is in the downloaded Files, you can read this Step.

For all Users, who want to have Club Adboards, they have to do this Step, right?


As the video shows the clubs xml file is used as standard. Therfore, If you want the club adboards you dont have to do anything

Ive downloaded this using your tutorial on how to install and but i dont seem to have it working. i tested my falkirk save and it came up with football manager 2008 ad boards and then tried my premier league save boards were fine but the static boards seem to be not there or the football manager 2008 advertisement. Any ideas how to fix this or where i might have went wrong.

this is man u in the league cup - https://imgur.com/a/6XOO4yM

Have you modified the xml file? These errors tend to happen if there is an error in the xml file

Hey Rabcp, brilliant work mate with these, been using since FM19 and made a few additions for my Faroe Islands game I play. I cant seem to get the hang of the video adboard creations, if I was to provide a few images could you create one for my league, understand how busy you are but would be great if you could Even very basic with the same image just going round, would be the last piece to a really good game I have created with Vikingur Gota.

If you message me the details I'll throw something together

Amazing Stuff !


Question: to use your Files "FULL and new Version"

only download: "Full Pack"
or download: "Full Pack" + click on Button: "Download - PC", then download:: "FM20 Adboard Project v1.0 update PC"

Thanks for help ! because i want to use and enjoy only your Stuff for Adboards

If you never used the FM19 version of the patch you only need the full pack. If you used then FM19 patch and copied it over to FM20 then you only need the update pack. The update pack was only created to save people with previous verisons from downloading a 600MB file for 20MB's worth of new content.
