- This page details adboard mechanics in PES 2015. To view adboards see Adboards/Gallery.
Introduction
This page will try to explain the most important details regarding PES15 adboard mechanics. The first section will explain the build-up of an adboard folder and the different Bill Bodies. The second section will explain how the general config file is built up. The third section will explain the 90system adboards and other leftovers. All the adboard stuff can be found in (dt30.cpk)\common\bg\model\bg\bill. Below tools several templates for adboard sets can be downloaded.
Adboard folder
A normal adboard folder will be in \common\bg\model\bg\bill and have its own name. So an example 4ccc adboard set will be in \common\bg\model\bg\bill\4ccc. This folder will contain several files and folders. These will be explained below under their own heading.
bill_texlist.xml
This file will contain all the textures in the texture folder that will appear on the billboards. Open this file and add lines for all the textures in the texture folder. The standard pes bill_texlist.xml looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <bill> <texture type="bill" path="model/bg/bill/pes/texture/bill_face_knm_knm_00.dds" /> <texture type="bill" path="model/bg/bill/pes/texture/bill_face_pes_pes_00.dds" /> <texture type="bill" path="model/bg/bill/pes/texture/bill_face_knm_knm_01.dds" /> <texture type="bill" path="model/bg/bill/pes/texture/bill_face_pes_pes_01.dds" /> </bill>
xx_df.xml, xx_dr.xml, xx_nf.xml, xx_nr.xml
These files contains the several settings regarding paths to certain files. The xx in the names refer to the name of the adboard folder, so in the case of 4ccc these files will be named 4ccc_df.xml, 4ccc_dr.xml, 4ccc_nf.xml and 4ccc_nr.xml.
The standard pes pes_nf.xml looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <bill> <bill path="model/bg/bill/billBody/bill_type_05/bill_nf.xml" /> <systemad path="model/bg/bill/90systemAd/pes/systemAd_nf.xml" /> <texlist path="model/bg/bill/pes/bill_texlist.xml"/> <animedata path="model/bg/bill/pes/bill_anime.json"/> </bill>
bill path
This refers to what adboard models the set will use. Different types have different amount of adboards for each side and some are meant for digital (LED) adboards, some for video (movie) adboards and others for normal plate (scroll) adboards. Some adboard types are only meant for specific stadiums. Change the number to BillBody type you want to use. The game uses the following types of adboards:
| # | Type | Amount of back bills | Amount of front bills | Amount of left bills | Amount of right bills | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Movie | 20 | 8 | 12 | 12 | - |
| 02 | LED | 20 | 8 | 12 | 12 | - |

systemad path
Location of the 90systemAd bills, the ones on the ground next to the goals. This will be discussed under Other. If you do not have nor want these things, delete this line.
texlist path
Location of the bill_texlist.xml.
animedata path
Location of the bill_anime.json.xml.
bill_anime.json
This files contains all the data to determine what adboards will appear, where they will appear, how long they will appear and in what order they will appear. Use the bill_anime.json in the template under Tools for 4cc adboards.
Example of a typical bill_anime.json file, in this case for a LED rotating adboard set.
This is an example from a rotating set:
{"animeList" : [0], "texList" : ["left_00", "2left_00", "3left_00"], "idleTime" : 15.0000 }, // 0
Parameters
["left_00", "2left_00", "3left_00"]: This is where you list your adboard files. In this case, left_00.dds, 2left_00.dds and 3left_00.dds are being called on. They will rotate in this sequence. Naturally a static adboard set would only call on a single file.
"idleTime" : 15.0000: The number indicates the length of time (in seconds) the game will wait before rotating to the next adboard in sequence.
0: This number indicates where the adboard slot is in the ground. Starting with 0, slots begin on the left of a given side of the pitch (left, right, back or front).
The adboards below "dir" : 0, are the adboards at the front, "dir" : 1, the back, "dir" : 2, the left and "dir" : 3, the right.
If you want individual static adboards in rotating sets, set "idleTime" in bill_anime.json to a very large number like 9999999999999.
texture (folder)
This folder will contain all adboards as .dds-textures. These are the same ones as listed in the bill_texlist.xml and bill_anime.json files. While the textures can be almost any size, PES will resize them correctly itself anyway, it is advised to use 512*64 DDS DXT1 No Alpha textures.
Config file
To have the game use your adboard set you will have to put it in the config.xml along with several parameters so the game knows when to use it. This file can be found in (dt30.cpk)\common\bg\model\bg\bill\config.
<condition stid="-1" compeid="-1" hometeamid="1" teamexclusion="0" language="-1" region="-1" title="-1" pattern="folder_name" />
Parameters
stid: Determines which stadium will use the set.
compeid: Determines which competition will use the set.
hometeamid: Determines which team will use the set if they play at home.
teamexclusion: Unknown, leave set to 0 for team-specific sets, -1 otherwise.
language: Determines which language version of the game the set will be used in.
region: Likely applies to a regional version of the game for localisation purposes. Leave it set to -1 to disable the parameter.
title: Determines whether the set is used in the PES (0) or Winning Eleven (1) version of the game. -1 disables the parameter.
pattern: The name of the set.
Examples
<condition stid="-1" compeid="-1" hometeamid="1330" teamexclusion="0" language="-1" region="-1" title="-1" pattern="4ccc" />
Team with ID 1330 will use the set named "4ccc" at home matches.
<condition stid="-1" compeid="2" hometeamid="-1" teamexclusion="-1" language="-1" region="-1" title="-1" pattern="general1" />
Set named "general1" will be used in competition with ID "2".
<condition stid="-1" compeid="-1" hometeamid="-1" teamexclusion="-1" language="-1" region="-1" title="0" pattern="general1" />
Set named "general1" is global and will be used everywhere in PES (unless a stadium, team or competition-specific set takes precedence).
Imporant
The higher the line an entry is in the config.xml, the higher the priority.
Other
90systemAd
These are adboards on the ground next to the goals. First of all make sure the line regarding 90systemAd is in the xx_df.xml, xx_dr.xml, xx_nf.xml or xx_nr.xml. If you're using the 4cc template don't forget to change the texture names in the systemAd.mtl file.
hit_billboard.hkx (important)
All adboards have a skeleton animation file. These go in \common\render\model\bg\hit\bill\<adboard set name>\hit_billboard.hkx.
Notes and help
- The 4chan cup general sets use the UCL set.
- Although there are different adboard sizes possible, 512*64 will be used for the general sets.
- When using the template, don't forget to rename every instance of 4cc_template to your adboard set's name.
