Scoreboards & Popups - Generating, Nothing Works (Help Im Confused)

[Fifamonkey2012]

Hi,

Ive been using fifa12 with mods and now 13 but for the life of me I cant get scoreboards to work or anything "Overlays".

NOTE I have AI mods installed fine.

To explain:

I have full retail version origin, but I use a swap out folder to have offline modded & play offline only.

I installed 2 Pop up and scoreboard mods from here .. file structure for the loose files are:

I: \Program Files\Origin Games\FIFA 13\Game\data\ui\game\overlays

in this folder are my mod overlay files:

overlay_1.big
overlay_9.big
overlay_52.big
overlay_53.big

there are a few more .. but you get the idea.

Also a fonts folder has been added:

I: \Program Files\Origin Games\FIFA 13\Game\data\ui\fonts

This has the modded fonts.

So I then use the latest FHL BH generator, I select "Generate all BH files (take care of external files)" ... this runs ok.

I then check game folder and can see BH filed date & time has changed to current so I know they have been re created and written correctly. If I run the generator again, I can see in Data1 the exact loose files I have installed show as unticked in the generator so its picked them up correctly to reference them as loose files.

I then go into the game and the only thing that works is the bottom screen bars (your power bar/rating/current player name) that are modded, all vanilla scoreboards and no Sky HD overlay and all pop ups are vanilla. Im using Barclays PL scoreboard mod and I get nothing.

Tried all modes, tournaments, and so on and nothing changes for scoreboards/popups.

So I then exit the game, and tried generating using the alternate generator, and that works again, BH files get written back, back in game ... nothing.

I then decided to rename my loose file folder UI to "___UI" ... on start the game crashes, so I KNOW the game is referencing the loose files, yet, no scoreboards.

I have tried 3 mods, and alternate pop ups and 4:3 & 16:9 ... many games, leagues and I get no score boards, I get only partial working with the bottom bars only.

Im not a complete modding noob, but I cant get this to work, it did all work retail fifa12 with mods though.

So ... is there something im missing, im clueless as to why BH files all reference loose files, but it just will NOT change scoreboards overlays or pop ups.

Can anyone at all enlighten me on a stage im missing I am now head scratching which is starting to bleed slightly? Is it becuase its full retail (legit purchased copy)? Some kind of Origin file check override? Then again if that was the case IU would not get it part working .... confused.

Hi,

Thanks for reply but I dont know what your saying here?

All data files when viewed in generator show that path and naming structure as given by modders big files.

Can you elaborate more on what you posted?

Also to add I know generator works because AI mod is fine and product.ini is unticked in generator and AI mod uses its own loose file which is working in game, I just cant seem to get graphical overlays to kick in.

there are no overlay_1.big
overlay_9.big
overlay_52.big
overlay_53.big

in fifa 13, use the FifaMaster soft and you will see for yourself the right format of the overlays, and remember, the overlays from FIFA 12 will not work at all in FIFA 13.

Well, not sure what game your playing but there are, the mods supply them in this format, and as it turns out the mods were working (and they are for Fifa13) .. it was just the fact that the mods didn't use certain leagues (which I was testing with by mistake).

Either way I got it working, but your advice is a little false, sorry to say, but thanks for posting anyway.

these files change the HUD

forget these files:
overlay_1.big
overlay_9.big
overlay_52.big
overlay_53.big
they change only the HUD, those bars with player number and name.

if you want the scoreboard with tv logo, download this file: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?jd4pnbgd383a2ud

Hi, thanks, no problemo, I got it all working fine. I was testing leagues of which some were not set for (so obviously saw no changes as there were none ... doh!) - silly mistake, but all working and fine now.
