RELEASE: STADIUM PACKS ADD-ON - Put your desired pack or stadium into Football Life!

----- INTRODUCTION -----

Welcome to the Stadiums Pack thread. This thread will serve small stadium packs to download from your favourite clubs, divided by countries, to make them smaller and more manageable.

The goal is to have fully updated and functional stadiums for all Football Life versions. This means that we are looking to have divided packs from different countries with all the possible stadiums for the teams present in the game and also some more from lower divisions or even old/extinct stadiums.

We will keep releasing them in the next months, so stay tuned to the latest news in the subreddit!

✅​ ✅​ These stadium packs are compatible with every Football Life version (23, 24 and 25). ✅​ ✅​

----- HOW TO INSTALL -----

Pretty easy. Read properly.

Put the contents inside "Game Folder\SiderAddons\content\stadium-server (or just "stadiums" if you're in FL25 without MegaPatch) folder that you (should) have.

Copy the lines from map_teams.txt and map_competitions.txt from each pack to one map.txt and map_competitions.txt to get the stadiums assigned to teams and competitions.

DON'T OVERWRITE each .txt, as these only contain the lines for the stadiums of each pack. You should join them in the same TXTs in case you are using multiple packs.

You need to have the three essential files in your stadiums folder: map.txt, map_competitions.txt and config.ini, plus each folder of each country or stadium. If not, it won't work.

----- HOW TO USE -----

Stadiums are already linked into competitions or teams, so they will be automatically assigned. In case you want to play in Exhibition mode with, for example, an EURO 2024 stadium, you must select them through Sider.

Press Spacebar to open Sider, navigate with number '1' to StadiumServer.lua/stadiums.lua and follow the instructions.

----- KNOWN BUGS / ISSUES -----

  • Some stadiums will show roof or stands in some cameras. This is unfixable as they require to be edited in their 3D models. Happens mostly with outdated or lower tier teams.
  • If you see black lines in the pitch, you need to put Anisotropic Filtering at x16 in your graphics card panel.
  • Some stadiums are more demanding than others, so you can expect a little bit FPS drops depending on their extras (high poly models, textures, etc).
  • Exterior views are included only for some. Some known stadiums don't have it done. It's quite a work to make external views with proper modeling.

----- CREDITS -----

Specially to all the stadium makers, as making a stadium its probably one of the most demanding tasks in this game. From lohan258, papijonnnn, Tom, captain8lunt, Hobbit, _TheSpecialOne_, the_pelado, 0coolmods, DAV, all the VirtuaRED and GOGOSZ teams for compiling and making specific Spanish and Brazilian stadiums for their divisions with a lot of detail.

Almost all of them are on EvoWeb so go there and say at least thank you to each thread of them.
