is it possible to have rotating adbords in the game

Philler, I had the idea, too. But I'm NOT sure if I'll succeed. Had that idea since Fifa 2000 but I was a bad patcher then. :p

are you going to try it then

Yeah, why not. but after RDSP ii. Maybe Philler will succeed first :)

i think it would be good to have rotating adbords but i can't see how it is possible

but i thought i heard once about someone who made these adbords that were 32bit and rotated

It's going to be very difficult....maybe we can something together ICEboy ;)

This idea won't work as gif's are not supported in the Adboards fsh files. There may be a way around this via including scripts directing it to another fsh that does support them. Steve Sutton and I have been looking into this for some time now, but because we are both on holiday at the minute we cant really do much.

If I recall correctly, those "32-bit animated adboards" were plain 32-bit adboards, but with a blind-rotating layer over it.

actually, i also know...everyone should know.

but SilverStream told me he did one for FIFA 2000 which didn't turn out well, as it was rotating too fast.

so i guess for FIFA2001 too....casue if u take a look at the crowd animation, it uses only 5 still pictures. and it would be way too fast for Rotating Ads.

anyway, i'm trying on moving clouds... ;)

it would be nice to have a rotating adboard... can it be done??

I don't think it is possible to make them for Fifa2001, although I do have an idea about it which might work out, not gonna tell you yet though :p

when then

it sounds as if the adbords would rotate to quick but if there is a way of slowing it down i am still trying

the only way to make rotating adboards is to crack the crowd... find out how these moves...

but the problem is you need to add an extra file which fifa2001 won't look for cause it isn't a file needed for the game...

i had some attempts but i gave up...
although i made some moving objects in a stadium for a test by using the crowds.

hope you guys have more succes but i doubt it

I had this idea when the first crowd for fifa 2001 is made(which is in the top 10 downloads), I emailed the guy about my idea to see if he can help me implement it but he didn't reply. GRRRRRRRRR!

The crowds work like animating a cartoon.
In Fifa 2001, it uses 5 still images to create an animated crowd....so we can't possibly create a rotating adboard using just 5 images.........it will turn out like, flipping and rotating non-stop.

To slow down the speed, you'll have to find out how Fifa scripted the animation of the crowds....and i guess no one knows....'-(

what you have to do is add more images that are the same this means that it will be rotating but you can't tell the difference because it is the same image

i know about that......
5 images is not enough dude...
one animation takes 24 images actually....

then if there were 5 different logos to be rotated that would mean alot of images

Yeh you need about 20-25 images to create one slow rotation of an image, to do this with 5 differeant images would take up lots of images. I created a GIF with 3 images which took had about 65 differeant images inside. This still rotated too fast, and when i added the GIF file into the adboard file it messed it up.
I can make it rotate slower alright, then i gotta work on cracking how to add it into the game (should be fun)
