strangerthankindness Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Olympiakos TV View, UEFA Fener TV view, Super Lig Houston, MLS example Roma, Serie A Tottenham EPL Celtic, UEFA Tired of looking at the same old generic stadiums and FM ads during nearly every match? Hoping to add a little variety and diversity to your match-game experience? Wanting to give each stadium its own club color and culture? This mod turns FM’s generic adboards into club-specific colors, flags, and banners, giving each stadium its own flair and feel and adding some much-needed individuality to the 3D match-game engine. One of the biggest complaints of the FM gaming system is how little diversity is shown in each club stadium, and how gamers can’t really adapt or change those stadiums. While this mod doesn’t adjust the physical structure of the stadiums, it at least adds some flavor to each match experience. Real Betis, La Liga Galatasaray, Data Analyst overhead view Coritiba Brazil, static-adboard example Dinamo, Croatia, static adboard example I originally created this mod for FM14 (https://community.sigames.com/topic/312095-fm-14-released-custom-match-engine-supporters-flags-and-club-logos-for-individual-stadiums/) and FM 15 (https://community.sigames.com/topic/335648-fm15-released-stadium-graphicsbanners-for-3d-match-engine/), and worked on it during FM16 and 17 but never posted it because of being too busy with real-world duties. The way that SI changed the video adboard system for FM18 threw me for a further loop, but I think I’ve figured out how to work with it, and I'm nearly ready to share the results. Ajax Eredivise Ajax UEFA What’s exciting this year is that video adboards can be coded to display ads for whatever competition your team is in, while the static adboards in the stadium stands can still reflect the individual team. All thanks to jeffroberts and rabcp for allowing me to integrate their excellent video adboards into this mod, and to the creators of the original config file that I modified for my FM14 release, doc_debil and tv_capper. (Their work focused on integrating corporate ads into the adboards, while mine does more club-specific fan imagery, but their file opened my eyes to what could be done). Several years on, the current config file has been nearly entirely redone. All graphics are mine, culled from scouring the internet for images of club scarves, fan tifos, banners, flags, even PES/FIFA graphic mods. OM League OM Europa Over 700 clubs are featured, including.... EVERY CLUB IN THE….

Each lower-league team in the 2nd division (or below) is coded to then “turn on” video adboards if they are promoted to top league, or if they make the Champions League.

Also if anyone has other video adboards they'd like to share, please PM me. Thanks for reading. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, those are actually 3 of the teams I have for Croatia, along with Osijek. Once I post the mod I will also share instructions on how to add your own images and any teams/leagues that aren't included. This year I've reworked the config file so every country or region has its own section in the files, along with room to put more. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enos Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Looks great and I cannot wait to try it out. Is this compatible with other adboard patches out there? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this compatible with other adboard patches out there? Thanks Enos. I just posted the full release in a new thread. With compatibility, unfortunately probably not. Most of the adboard config files have image file names that relate to what ads they're of ("audi," "nike," "kia," etc), while I've named all of mine numerically, as it's a lot easier to cut and paste the texts. Also the images themselves will be different, of course. One way around it could be to do rename one of the pictures/ads folders (like from "ads" to "ads2", and then do a massive find-and-replace in the config file of the path name, so that all paths would read "pictures/ads2." All you would then need to do would be to sub out whichever config file you wanted to use per game. Kind of a pain, but I don't know if it would work otherwise. Thanks.
