Problems with stadia from 07 to 08

[hibee72]

Hi everybody,
I thought that FIFA07 stadia were fully compatible with FIFA08, but yesterday I had a bad surprise.
I installed the City of Manchester stadium (FIFAECP's version) in the FIFA08 home directory, but when I started to play there were that annoying MISSING TEXTURE writings on the pitch!
The MISSING TEXTURE disappears while playing the game, but appears during the cinematics or in replay mode.
Could someone please explain me how can I remove that annoying writing on the pitch?

Thanks everybody.

City Of Manchester Stadium was already converted from 06 to 07, I guess that's why it gives problems, unless someone rebuilds it I don't think there is a solution.

I just realised that one thing that all those stadiums have in common is they've been converted from 06 to 07... maybe I should get back to the 06 version and try another way of conversion compatible with 08...could someone help me?
I noticed also that stadiums that have not this problem are often converted from PES, so maybe I should try to convert them from PES as well. Does anybody know if there are tutorials/tools to convert stadiums from PES?
Otherwise, if someone's already converting, could please convert for me these ones?
- Stadium Bentegodi in Verona (ITA);
- Stadium Atleti Azzurri d'Italia in Bergamo (ITA);
- Stadium S.Nicola in Bari (ITA);
- Stadium S.Elia in Cagliari (ITA);
thanks

hii

do any of you guys no if i cud put stadiums like city of manchester stadia on fifa 08 for the 360 please let me know thanks

Thanks Tonie, the tutorial was pretty useful but I can't make the Stadium Builder working.
I don't know if I downloaded a wrong version, btw I have a OS Win XP Italian, so I guess I have to change the International Settings from Italian to English in order to make it work properly. Actually, I can't see the stadium on the screen!
I managed to convert from PES to 3DS, but I can't make it through .O for FIFA!

if... there is no solution for the fifa.fat 265k limit problem, stadium converting won´t be worth at all.

you can install stadia simply putting the files into the FIFA08 folder, then create a proper entry in the STADIUMS table of the DB (and, of course, in the language.db). This doesn't affect FIFA.FAT lenght!
Yesterday I converted the San Nicola of Bari from PES and I realised the problem I had comes from stadium converted from 06 format. Unluckily, my stadium has no crowd, no banners, no adboards and the field that has the same colour of the athletics track!
If someone could help me to sort it out, maybe I can learn how to convert properly from PES and then I could release more other stadiums. If you have a tutorial about inserting crowds, banners, ads, etc., please send me at [email protected]
Thanks!
