How i can change adboards?

[Learnhowtohustle!]

As in the topic, I want to change adboards but have no knowledge

Do you have RDBM?

I usually open up a Career Save file in RDBM and then open the teamsponsorlinks table in the DB2 tab.

Here you can assign adboards using existing ones. For Example: if you wanted to give a team the existing FedEx adboard in the game you would create a new artificial key (1660 or whatever number is next), add their teamid (For Example: Arsenal =1), and then if you click in the adsponserid cell there should be a drop down option with existing options - you can select those there.

If the image is in the drop down you usually don't need to assign a dynamic image id so just put 0. Make sure you put 1 under isapproved or it won't show up in game.

If you want to create a new adboard you can go to FIFA Editor Tool > Legacy Explorer > UI > Game > adboards

I like to export a simple adboard like FedEx because it only uses one .dds file

Export this .dds file and replace it with the image of your choice and save it as a mod. Then repeat the steps above to get it to show up for a specific team.

Remember that if you replace the FedEx file then the FedEx logo won't show up anymore in the game - it will be whatever logo you replaced it with on a white background. If you don't want to replace FedEx you can export the FedEx .BIG file and import it to any of the other adboards in game - for example these FUT ones.

\

Some BIG adboards have two .DDS files - a background color and logo - I like to edit these because you can easily create a simple board with a logo and a simple color.

Hopefully these instructions are somewhat helpful! It's a lot of information at first but after you do it once or twice it's easier!

So for the adboards that have more than one .dds file I would need to edit all of those .dds files for my adboard to show in game?
Also a what app would u recommend that allows u to opens .dds files

Yes, you would need to edit all of those .dds files.

Sometimes an adboard only uses two images - a .dds acting as a logo and a .dds that acts as a background. Some adboards are really intricate and show a few different phrases or images - these are all saved as .dds files. That's why some adboards have 1 or 2 .dds files and others have like 10 or more.

I use Photoshop to open and modify .dds files but even with Photoshop you have to download a plug-in to be able to open/save them. I think GIMP, PAINT.NET, and Krita also allow for you to edit .dds files but they probably require a plug-in too.

Appreciate the response. If I’m not mistaken do I have to pay for photoshop

Yes. Luckily there are free options like GIMP that work the same way as Photoshop

Thx for helping I actually was able to make my own adboard. I do however still have a few question. Am I able to mod the same adboard twice and use it in the game at the same time. Also I’m confused with the dynamicimageid column. Do I need to insert any number if I’m creating a new adboards

I think it depends on what you mean when you say mod the same adboard twice - what do you mean by that?

You shouldn't have to enter a dynamicimageid unless you are recreating a dynamic image adboard.

dynamicimageid is a little more complicated - if you go to RDBM there is a table called dynamicimages - this has all of the dynamicimage adboards and dynamicimageids.

I'm not certain on how this works but I think dynamic adboards are generic and use these dynamicimageids to populate the adboard with a design. However, I don't know where these dynamicimages are stored in the editor tool so I haven't been able to create one. I think in the future this could be an easy way to create new adboards but I just don't have the knowledge of how to do so.

What I meant by using the same adboard twice was for example the fedex adboard could I mod the dds file twice with different images and use it in game at the same time or I would have to create a separate mod each time to use it. I’m asking this because I’ve figured out the fedex adboard is the easiest to mod and I wanted to have different adboards that I created at the same time

I would export the FedEx .BIG file and import it over the FUT .BIG files. If you replace other .BIG files with the FedEx .BIG file you are essentially creating multiple FedEx adboards where you can replace/change the .dds image.

If you create a mod of the FedEx adboard using the FedEx .BIG file and then create another mod with the same FedEx .BIG file you'll just overwrite the other mod. If you replace another .BIG file with the FedEx file you're creating another space for a custom adboard using the FedEx template.

I hope I explained that in a way that makes sense lol

So basically under all the fedex .BIG files I would export all the .DAT, .DDS, and .APT files and import it to the adboard of my choice

 

[iwaspromisedjetpackz]

Yes, for example:

Export this file:

Then import it to these 4 files:

Then you can replace the .DDS in each one and save

You have now replaced 4 adboards with your own

So all I have to do after Exporting and importing the .BIG file is replacing the dds files. So what do I do if one of the adboards has more dds files than the other.

When you import the FedEx .BIG file over one of the FUT .BIG files it should overwrite the original FUT .BIG files and there should only be one DDS file you need to replace

O I understand. Do u encounter the same problem as i do. For example some adboard load while some don’t. I’ve encounter this message

Do you happen to know y some images look blurry when I insert them into the editing tool and how I can fix it

I'm not sure - it might be the original image you are using - what is the size?

 

[JonGon2326]

I’m using 200x64 which is the size for the fedex adboard aswell. I think it might have to do with the image itself

Yeah it is probably the original image
