As the Stadiums are the same as in Fifa 07 I made a small Patch with Stadiums for every Team.

There are the following Stadiums:

San Siro
Old Trafford
Stade Velodrome
Nou Camp
Olympiastadion
Upton Park
Amsterdam Arena
Wembley
Delle Alpi
Mestalla
San Bernabeu

Just Install the Patch by choosing the Demo Install Folder and Overwrite the Fifa DB when asked to. Should work with every Language...

Heres a Version without zdatas and fatbuilder:

http://files.filefront.com/Stadiumpatchv3wozdataexe/;8491690;/fileinfo.html

To install just extract Files to Fifa Demo Folder and Overwrite fifa.db

And here is the Version with zdata:
http://rapidshare.com/files/53128803/Stadiumpatchv2.1.exe

To install v2.1 install Files to Demo 08 Folder Overwrite fifa.db and run Fatbuilder.
It's necessary to use a fresh Fifa Demo to avoid Problems.

You will probably need the new Fatbuilder 0.9 :)

For those who want to Play with a better Resolution:
1.Open the local.ini in your Fifa Folder
2.Local.ini should look like this:

[]
RESOLUTION = 1024x768x32
QUALITY = 2
WINDOWED = 0
VIDEO = 0
NO_EXTRA_TIME = 0
NEVERENDING_GAME = 0
DO_CPU_SUB = 0
ONE_ON_ONE = 0
SKIP_FE = 0
[OPTIONS]
LINESMEN = 0
REFEREE = 1

You can set the Resolution to 1280x1024x32 or 1600x1200x32 if you want.

Save and Enjoy! :P

Great Patch! Thank you!

Could you also make a Patch for Olympiastadion or New Wembley?:shades:

You can easily do it by yourself.

Just export the Stadium Files from Fifa 07 with CM or what ever.

And Rename them.

You can give them one of these Numbers:

1 => Old Trafford
5 => San Siro
6 => Nou Camp
29 => Stade Velodrome
81 => Upton Park
136 => WHL
137 => Allianz Arena

the files should look like these i.e.: m713_81_1.o

Then overwrite the .o and .fsh in Fifa Demo Folder and play with the Stadium you want.

Did nobody tested it? There aren't so many replies :(
Hope it works fine...



Btw, it should work with everything 2g except the Goalkeepers Kits...
Tested it with Rheinenergiestadium and it worked with Home and Visitor Kits in 786*786 and Adboard and Flags in 2g. But when using it with 2g GK Kit it crashes :(

Hey Don!

I really want to use a 2gk version of Upton Park (complete with adboards) but i dont understand how to install it

Sorry to be a pain, but could you explain the installation process some more - possibly a step by step guide?

Would be very grateful
Fantastic work though pal

<carrick>

I've tested the Patch now.
Everything is fine but the night-versions of the new stadiums are not working. You can start the match but you're playing on an empty field with floodlight hovering in the air.
Hope you can fix that and add Olympiastadion or for Amercia Azteca.:p

Figured out how to add the stadium now!

Will post some screenshots soon (Y)

Upton Park 2GK For FIFA 08 Demo
(big thanks to Don for his hard work on this stadium patch!)

can anyone upload that local.ini with a better resolution?

I get the same thing in Night mode.

Oops, my fault. I see that in the DB there is the Nightstadium activated.. :)
But i didn't put the Night Files in, that's why you only see the floodlights...
I will fix it today and add a new Version of the Patch.
Probably one with the files in zdata...

If there is Time enough, i will do a small step by step guide on how to import stadiums from Fifa 07 to Fifa 08...

I'm upping a Version 2.0 of the Patch.

Now containing Day AND Night Version of the Stadiums.
Unfortunately its much bigger now :P

This Time you have to run Fatbuilder after installation. You can find it in your Fifa 08 Demo\Data folder ;)

I changed WHL Stad with Olympiastadion Berlin, Olympiastadium looks much better then WHL :)

And there is a local.ini with Resolution set to 1024x786x32, so no need to do this by yourself :) If you want you can manually change the local.ini, but at your own risk :)

btw, if you don't want to load it with rapidshare, i think there will be a link on F4F very soon :)

And here it is:

http://rapidshare.com/files/53128803/Stadiumpatchv2.1.exe

Version 2.1 with Nightstadiums and Olympiastadium for Team America.
Hope i didn't forgot something to add this time.

Just unpack to Fifa Demofolder and run fatbuilder.
Tell me if it works now :)
If you want to add stads, there is a little guide in the Readme. But as i'm not English Speaking, i can't explain it that good...

EA Stads work with 2g Graphics, but i'm not sure 'bout Upton Park.
You will have to try it :)

I changed WHL Stad with Olympiastadion Berlin, Olympiastadium looks much better then WHL :)


WOW! Thanks a lot...:confused::clapwap:

Can't wait to play with your great patch...

I tested the 2nd version now, but it makes no difference.
Olympiastadium doesn't work completely and also the night-versions aren't working. I've noticed that there are now new preview-pics for the stadiums, but some of them are wrong (e.g Velodrome night got the overcast-pic, Olympiastadion night got beta-night-pic and Old Trafford San Siro's preview-pic).

Reeinstaling the demo also didn't helped a lot.

Hm... i will have to take a look at this...

Did you run fatbuilder after unpacking?
For the Menuscreens, i will fix this :P

Anyone else got the same Problems?

Ok, Version 2.1 :P

Fixed the Menuscreens. Olympiastadion has the right Night now i think, Old Trafford is no more San Siro and Velodrome i took the Night one now :)

This time i made a new zdata13.big. so use it one a fresh copy to make it work... and dont forget to run fatbuilder! Otherwise you will see nothing ingame. Only 22 Players on a green Field :P
If there are problems, please tell me, i will try to fix them.

Tested the Stads on my Desk and Notebook. Worked fine for me.

http://rapidshare.com/files/53128803/Stadiumpatchv2.1.exe

i getting an error message when i running the fathbuilder: "Run time error '75' path/file access error"

Did you use fatbuilder v0.9?

The version 0.8 of fatbuilder that is inluded in my .exe can get some errors when running.

yes i used 0.9 fathbuilder

Then there is an error in fatbuilder, i think.
You can report it to the people who made fatbuilder, perhaps they know more.

Stadiumpatch will work without need of fatbuilder, when you make a fresh install of the demo. Install the stadiumspatch.exe and then extract the files in zdata13.big with biggui to FIFa 08 Demo-Folder...

So you don't need fatbuilder and there won't be an error.

ok thanks i will try that :)

btw where i take "biggui"? and how i use it?

As there are some Problems with fatbuilder atm, i made a Version without any zdata. so there is no need to run Fatbuilder anymore.

1. Fresh copy of Fifa Demo
2. Install the exe to the Fifa Demofolder
3. Run and enjoy

Hmm, can't get it to work...(:/) It's just crasch to the desktop... and shows the original windows-errormessage

Try it with another Resolution:

Open local.ini with Editor.
Set RESOLUTION to 800x600x32.
Save the file and try to start the Demo.

Where does it crash exactly?

I'll upload it to Filefront, if i have time today :)
