As in previous years other users are welcome to produce boards to be added to the pack, either to update current boards or fill missing gaps
Thanks for all the hard work guys. I have one request. Since adding some sdboards I am getting a parsing error which I can't solve. Despite having added a hundred or so new adboards I still can't find this error. It just says token invalid line 12969, but the whole thing looks perfect. Is there a way to solve this or do I need to download the entire pack again just to get the XML file?

Thanks

How to code ad-boards


Open up the ads.xml file located My Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2014/ads

First of all you have to load the graphics into FM14 which is done by the following piece of code the near the bottom of the xml file

<!-- Hibernian adboards -->
<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

<!-- Hibernian adboards --> - 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"/>
.
.
.
<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. This code needs repeated 44 more times as there are 45 adboard spaces on the maximum pitch size

I hope to be able to release smaller update packs after changes to avoid people having to re download the entire pack

take it the 3d kits aren't working anymore ?

I'm playing Arsenal at the emirates in the Champions league and all I'm seeing is the default ads, I have reloaded the skin tons of times and I have made sure I'm using the No clubs XML, I changed some of CL adboards, but i kept the same names i.e the numbers, can anyone help me ?
The No Clubs XML does not seem to work at all...
