when is a 2.0 update planned? Thank you

No date planned yet

I downloaded the patch v 1.0 and I do not have the test and default in the file !!!

The test folder is not needed and the defult folder has been mistakenly placed in the Europe folder

Big man, you are a complete legend. These adboards are absolutely outstanding.

Thank you for all the hard graft you put in to making these.

Amazing effort, every single year.

Cheers

So I have a bit of buyer's remorse. I was impatient and downloaded/installed a pack from the sigames website called "custom fan banners and adboards." It's a nice patch, but doesn't have the depth/quality of ads that your patch appears to have. Is it possible to install your patch on top without causing any problems or do I need to find a way to uninstall the previous patch? I'd love to keep the fan banners in the upper portions of the stadiums while using your adboards/video ads, but I'm content just to use your adboards/video ads.

unfortunately due to the way the xml file works you can only use one patch

GOOD WORK,MAN!But EURO Tournament bag ....

No video adboards have been made for the European Championships, which is why blank video adboards are showing.

germany dfl super cup and dfl cup not working for me and there is no hd boards

This will be fixed in the next update

MLS only shows static ads. Other video ads are showing well. Is there a config error? Thank you for your.answer.

This will also be addressed in the next update

Since noticing Hull City have no digital advertisement boards in this pack I've been keeping an eye out at games,
Five of your existing generic video ads are played during the game.

Burflex, Ginsters, SkyBet, Sportpesa & Vitality

we do have an Umbro one but it's not the same one as in this pack so I haven't included that in the list.

I'll assign these to Hull in the next update
Some more York City adboards, slowly racking up as I go to more games and collect more images. The Size? ones are used from left to right along the back of the away end, the centre being directly behind the goal, with a few of the side ones dotted around the stadium. David Longhurst one is used behind the home goal, CLP and NHS are dotted around. Have set up the specific code on my game so I'll share that as well as the numbers I've used for my boards.

Thanks, can you pm me the original files?

Hi Rab,

I have just noticed that when using the No Club ads XML, Celtic and Rangers at home in the SPL have a black dynamic board throughout. When playing Scottish Cup it is fine, the dynamic Scottish cup ads show at Ibrox and Parkhead, but for SPL both stay black. I have made no changes to the the XML at all. All other SPL clubs show static ads as expected that relate to the SPL rather than the club and the static boards do show correctly at Parkhead and Ibrox.

Thanks again, just thought to share.

Cheers for all the work as always.

There are no video ads set for the Scottish Premiership in the no ads xml, unfortunately when this happens instead of loading either static ads pitchside or displaying default video ads, the game displays a blank lcd screen instead, I'll add some video ads in the next update, If you can send me your green brigade banner I can add this to the next patch too.

Hello everyone!

First I would like to thanks to all the creators of this wonderful add-on. The game with these ad-boards, is really immersive and it's looks amazing

However, even that I tested on several leagues, ITA/ESP/ENG/GER, everything is changing on videos ads, except on 1 league team, that I'm currently managing - Manchester United. Even if I'm playing in Premier League or in UCL, the same VIDEO adboard I'm seeing

"following Manchester United on Twitter" follower about another video add with the TWITTER accounts

It's normal?

Thank you in advance guys!
BR,
BlackS0ull


Thanks for your kind comments.

I have just checked the Man Utd ads and they transition fine on my system, Make sure you have the bidstack fix installed, link is on the FAQ on page 1 of this thread.

This is my folder
With the old part of DocDevil go the bands

Do any of the German clubs ads work?

Switching between the two wouldn't work though now would it, because NO CLUBS has club banners included with competition ads now, and CLUBS is obviously club only specific ads? I'm talking only static banners by the way.

As long you start with the clubs xml file then switching will work as no additional graphics are loaded with the no clubs xml file.

I've noticed that a few of the Welsh club adboards which were already included in the xml have ID clashes with World Cup ads. @rabcp

I'll look into this before the next release

Are there anymore plans for more club banners for the Premier League for the No Club Ads xml, like Liverpool, Man City etc? The ones for United look brilliant.

There's no immediate plans, with the fan banners I only include permanent banners and to the best of my knowledge Liverpool and Man City fans don't display permanent banners at all matches such as the ones included with Arsenal, Chelsea and Man Utd.

Hi Rab,

Amazing work as always, and thank you for all the time you take on this. This is a minor issue, but when playing as Celtic, some of the static boards on higher tiers that are supposed to run together e.g. Celtic Superstore and Celtic Football Club are fragmented between other ads. The only thing I changed was a direct swap of a New Balance board with a Green Brigade one. I did not touch the XML and just deleted the NB and added Green Brigade with same file name as NB. However, as you can see on these two screenshots, the Celtic Superstore in the right and corner and the Celtic Football Club behind one of the goals are mixed in with other boards.

Not a big issue at all but thought it best to let you know.

Cheers

Attach your xml file and I'll take a look

Superb work, the Champions League ads are a work of art

Only things I've noticed are;

• The "Sky Sports" adboard for the Premier League, which appears first in sequence, is a little too long.
• When it's a neutral venue, like a cup final, it records in the "home" teams static ads. - Is it even possible to record just competition static ads (within this XML) to neutral venues instead?

I know in previous versions of FM neutral ads would show for most cup finals with the charity shield and similar 'super cup' competitions begin the exception, as for some reason FM never regarded them as being a neutral march, I'm not sure if this has changed in FM19, it is possible to switch between the clubs and no clubs xml without exiting FM which would guarantee cup specific adboards in a final.

The skysports ad repeating is a side effect of disabling the bidstack ads, make sure you have the fix which is attached to the FAQ on page 1

great but if I install the code so the default bands of warchild come.
Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong

Hi! I wrote this earlier in this same thread, when I found one folder in the FM19 1.0 Adboard Patch being out of place:
...
Just wanted to inform this in case someone else is having the same issue and wondering why that is."

Cheers I'll fix this in the next update

I've finished updating Welsh Premier League ads, fixed a few errors and added ads for Caernarfon Town and Llanelli Town (WPL), Airbus UK (HGA), Afan Lido, Cambrian & Clydach, Haverfordwest and Penybont (WFL). I've also created default ads for WFL and Huws Gray Alliance. Over the course of time I may expand to the full Welsh second tier but some clubs are an absolute chore to find images of grounds, and then source images of ads and logos. So there is a lot of scratch work in the packs

Thanks for the PM I'll get them added!

Hi guys! And Merry Christmas! I have a request for you. Could you integrate the shields that ps_beldjs made for the lower leagues of England. It is very necessary for a long career. Thank.

https://mega.nz/#!QAtlCAzY!ww8zuYGzs9Obg5-1cQvy1qfBhNYYEZ8HRkgaHNh4bG8

I can't add them without @ps_beldjs permission and I've no idea if he still active on here?

I have a couple of extra Hull City ad boards from my save,
Recreations of ones I've seen in real life, if you wanted to add them to the pack?

Thanks I'll add them to the next patch

Any plans to do adboards for international teams ? The default FM adboards are driving me crazy !

I don't have as much free time as I have over the past few years, so my contributions will be limited, as I never play international football it's unlikely that I'll make any to be honest

Hi, does that mean with the patch of them all the old ones from Doc Devil anymore?
Can you install it yourself?
Since he has made many for the lower leagues of the Bundesliga

Yes if you have the original ads you can code them into the new xml

Merry christmas everybody! Looking forward to the upcoming updates this season

Thanks Rivanov, Merry belated Christmas to you
update add. dynamic adboard for czech fortuna league

I've made some ads for the Cymru Alliance League and tried to code them, and for some reason a generic FM2008 ad shows up in the competition instead of my ads?

That’s means you’ve made an error in the code, for some reason FM18 and now FM19 no longer bring up messages of xml errors when loading up the game. I usually put my config into FM17 and boot that up to find where the error is otherwise you wound need to check every new bit of code to try and spot the error.

Is this the same patch that was just posted on the SI forums a few days ago?

Nope this patch is different, however, the patch on the si forums does use some of the content from this patch but mainly focuses on fan banners in place of pitch side ads, while this patch has proper pitchside ads with some clubs having banners in the upper tiers of stadiums

Whenever I test anything its in highlight mode and in highlight mode they all work fine, however in live mode ever video ads just loops through the first one, I don't know if its due to a new change in code needed for FM19 or a bug, right now I've removed the download link till I can resolve the issue

Seems Arsenal video ads don't show.Looked in xml file and don't look like there's line with <record id="81075" path="video_ads/england/clubs/arsenal/arsenal" animated="true"/>
Thought for video ads to show you had to have video_ads in it

Arsenal video ads and banners will show with the club ads xml, however, with the no clubs ads xml only Arsenal banners and upper tier ads will show

How to code Video Adboards


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 top of the xml file

<!-- Hibernian ads, rabcp -->
<record id="2190" path="video_ads/scotland/clubs/macron" animated="true"/>
<record id="2191" path="pictures/ads/europe/clubs/scotland/spl/hibernian/marathonbet"/>
<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

<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="video_ads/scotland/clubs/macron" animated="true"/> Location of a video adboard which has just been given a unique id number

path="pictures/ads/europe/clubs/scotland/spl/hibernian/marathonbet"/> - Location of a static adboard 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="1575">
<integer value="2190"/>
<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.

No as Hibernian play in a ground under 30,000 static adboards will display automatically as below;
https://s26.postimg.cc/ppkjl6rex/no_video.png


To allow Hibernian to display Video ads the following piece of code needs added at the bottom of the xml file, this can also been done for competitons or international teams;
<!-- All Hibernian home matches have to use LED -->
<record id="1575" led_force_flag="true" concatenate_next="true"/>


This code then turns on video ads and gives the below result

Tutorial No.2
Rolling Object


This tutorial will explain how to create the rolling effect below.
https://s26.postimg.cc/4ab8z3t7d/sample-1.gif

Step 1
https://s26.postimg.cc/wafcjf6yh/image.png
To begin my image has 3 layers, Background, Taxi and Logo. In this image we want to apply the rolling effect to the Logo layer. To apply this sort of effect we need to make a Smart object to do this we right click on the Logo Layer and select the Convert to Smart Object option.

Step 2
https://s26.postimg.cc/8jfz1az1l/image.png
Our next step is to create a beginning and end of the animation, this is done by dragging the timeline to the desired start point and selection the Transform option, this will give our logo a starting position. Next we move the timeline along and again select the Transform option, this now gives us an end position. At this point the Logo should be dragged to the desired end position

Step 3
https://s26.postimg.cc/3xjusy5sp/image.png
At this point our logo travel's from one end of the D Taxis text to the other, now we want to add a rolling effect. This is achieved by moving the timeline along 00.05 and again selecting the Transform option, now we want to rotate the angle 180 degrees this is done by selecting; Edit > Transform > Rotate then typing 180 in the angle field.

Step 4
https://s26.postimg.cc/98yrdof0p/image.png
Repeat the above step every 0.05 seconds mixing between 180 and 0 degrees....0..180..0..180..0..180..0..180..0

Now we have the finished effect, if the image is going from right to left instead then angles would be 0 and -180

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.

Positioning Adboard's

I was asked by @wkdsoul if it was possible to position adboards in certain positions and thought I'd put together this tutorial to demonstrate how its done. While is it possible to place adboards in certain positions it mainly works with clubs who use pitch side LCD ads. The process is a little complex as bar the pitchside adboards the adboard numbers at times follow no logical pattern and can repeat numbers depending on the stadium model.

The support files in this link are needed for this method - Download

Step One
We have the Juventus stadium displaying generic adboards, however we want to place a fan banner in the middle of the goal, to do this we have to know how to assign adboards to certain positions
https://i.postimg.cc/k59zcfbX/start.png


Install the attached graphic files and open up the ads.xml file in the football manager folder and the XML Insert LCD file from the download. in the XML Insert LCD file locate the following code;

<!-- Club section for club ID #661 -->
<list id="1139">
<integer value="3500"/>
<integer value="661000"/>
<integer value="661001"/>
.
.
.
</list>


Change the <list id="1139"> code to include your clubs ID number, paste this into the Ads.xml file and load up FM18 again, Our match with Juventus now looks like this;
https://i.postimg.cc/T3nBgZh4/numbers.png

We now have adboards which tell us which number each adboard is within the xml file, note that not all adboards are unique and adboard '0' will be repeated 3 times on this screen.


Step Two
We now need to assign our banners to correct positions. My code here assigns my 3 new adboards to the game (See the guide on page 1 for more detailed instructions).
<!-- Juventus ads -->
<record id="8000" path="pictures/ads/generic/black"/>
<record id="8001" path="pictures/ads/europe/italy/clubs/juventus/drughi"/>
<record id="8002" path="pictures/ads/europe/italy/clubs/juventus/sud"/>


I want a plain black adboard to display at adboard '0' and my banners behind the goal, in this case Drughi as adboard '32' and Sud as adboard '31'.

We now go back to our first piece of code to place these 3 new boards in there correct position, we know that <integer value="661000"/> represents adboard '0' so we change this to <integer value="8000"/>, likewise we change <integer value="661031"/> adboard '31' to <integer value="8002"/> 'Drughi' and <integer value="661032"/> adboard '32' to <integer value="8001"/> 'Sud'
<!-- Juventus -->
<list id="1139">
<integer value="3500"/>
<integer value="8000"/>
<integer value="661001"/>
.
.
.
<integer value="8002"/>
<integer value="8001"/>
</list>


load up FM18 and we get this result

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.

F.A.Q


Where should I install the files too?

XML files

Videos

Preferences

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
https://s26.postimg.cc/4ig2amitl/fm18.png https://s26.postimg.cc/4h64h7gzt/fm17.png


How can I stop the bistack ads?
I believe I have cracked it.

After 2 days of trying different things I started looking at what files FM18 and FM19 had that were different.

Discovered that in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2019\Preferences\version 3 there was an .xml file called bidstack_enabled.xml missing from FM19. Copied the file from FM 18 over to FM19 and EUREKA!! it works with no changing of firewalls or disconnecting your internet etc.

All the .xml has in it is:

<record>
<boolean id="value" value="false"/>
</record>

You can create your own if you don't have the FM18 version or use my file that is attached

Yeah so the upper stands are club specific (for example, manutd.com, MUFC badge, adidas etc) then on the lower video boards that are around the pitch are competition specific, so in the CL it displays only CL, FA Cup displays only FA Cup etc

It can be done but you would need to play with generic league video ads instead of Man Utd video ads, I'll add this feature for all clubs to the "no club ads" xml file.

https://i.postimg.cc/FkgRp56S/20181207000123-1.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/vcbDBT1t/20181207000206-1.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/kDxBqK55/20181207002304-1.jpg

I've made a few static ads for Wigan Athletic and a generic SkyBet ad if you'd like them

Sure drop me a PM and I'll add them

Is there a way of combining the two XML files so the static upper tier aboards are club specific, but then the video adboards closest to the pitch are competition specific?

This already happens with this patch, or do you mean with different competitions such as the Champions and Europa League?

Would also like the new Sky Bet video ad with the updated logo. Are we due an 18/19 pack or at least an update pack?

@stevemc Not sure but would be good for CL/FA Cup matches etc

I am working on the FM19 patch in the background, however, I do not have as much free time as I have had over the past few years, I'm hoping to have V1.0 out with the next two weeks.

Will you create a separate Adboard Patch thread in the Football Manager 2019 graphics section, as soon as you have something ready?

There will be a new FM19 thread over the next few days and I'm hoping to have the first release out by the end of the month
