(If not done already) Add lua.module = "ScoreboardServer.lua" under CommonLib in sider.ini file

[Optional] Customize map_competitions.txt files (located inside content\scoreboard-server folder) and add your own folders with scoreboard files in content\scoreboard-server folder

Download:

1. Link v1.10 (base pack, no scoreboards) - Please, do not re-upload to other services

2. Link v1.50 (.lua script update) - v1.10 base pack is required as pre-requisite - Please, do not re-upload to other services

3. Link - mini-scoreboard pack for PES 2020 from various evo-web users (credits to Unknown32, spursfan18, Spursfan07, 1002MB, predator002, ryudek, Cesc Fabregas, Andò12345, Hoppus117 ) - all folders include new short introductory anthem .mp3 files made by predator002 , but not all of the folders include actual scoreboards)

How to apply the scoreboard pack: download it from the above link, extract the archive, and overwrite the current content folder in your sider with the content folder from the scoreboard pack.

[NEW v1.5] Support for team vs team match-up scoreboards that do not need contrasting-color variations

simplification of the v1.4 scenario (see [NEW v1.4] info below for more details) - suitable for scoreboards that only need team-specific gfx (logos, flags, ...), but not the contrasting-color nameplates

team vs team match-up could have been simulated with contrast_names_teams setup from v1.40 too, but at the expense of overall scoreboard size on disk (although only one set of files per team-vs-team matchup is really needed, that set would have to be repeated 4 times within "DarkHome_DarkAway", "DarkHome_LightAway", "LightHome_DarkAway" and "LightHome_LightAway" subfolders)

new dedicated team vs team matchup only, without contrasting colors, in v1.50 eliminates the need to repeat identical files 4 times, therefore reducing overall SB size on disk

unlike v1.2/v1.4 scenarios (contrasting colors), this one does not depend upon reading unicolor values of participating teams, so it should work for unlicensed teams too

required folders structure - it is almost identical to the v1.4 setup for contrast_names_teams scenario

exact folder name "flag_teams" must exist in SB root, then

"home team ID number" as subfolder of "flag_teams", and then

"vs Away team ID number" as subfolder of "home team ID number", and then

usual scoreboard contents hierarchy (at least common\menu\licence\game2dPes.bin file) goes under "vs Away team ID number" folder

you can have as many Home Team ID subfolders as you want

every Home team ID subfolder should contain all the possible Away Team ID opponents as subfolders - if you omit any away ID subfolder, game will most likely revert to original PES scoreboard whenever there will be a match vs the omitted team

example: should Croatia (team ID 24) play a World Cup match as home team vs Morocco (team ID 32) using FIFA WC scoreboard, scoreboard server will:

first try to pull scoreboard-related files from FIFA WC\flag_teams\24\32 folder

if these do not exist, it will fall back to the main scoreboard files - FIFA WC\common\..., FIFA WC\movie, etc.

for the same reasons as v1.40 setup (contrast_names_teams), this mode is also not suitable for general purpose scoreboards, but for the competition specific scoreboards

[IMPORTANT] to avoid potential issues, new flag_teams scenario should not be used together with old contrast_names or contrast_names_teamswithin the same scoreboard

your scoreboard should either need flag_teams functionality or contrast_names/contrast_names_teams functionality, but never both at the same time

having scoreboard files under all flag_teams, contrast_names and contrast_names_teams folders within one scoreboard is not recommended - delete the folders that are not needed

Ball Server v1.30 "Winter, oh Winter!" edition

New features in v1.30

"use winter balls only when it is snowing" (introduced in v1.20) cannot be selected on overlay anymore - it has instead become a new default rule to serve winter balls for all competitions!

new default rule to serve winter balls for all competitions, TL/DR version: it has to actually snow (snowy weather) for the Ball Server to offer winter balls

it does not have to be a winter season at all :) - as long as it snows, the ball server will provide winter ball for the competition (if one exists in GDB) - so if it starts snowing mid-May, you'll still get the winter ball

for leagues that have fixed weeks when winter balls have to be used, there is new map file: map_winter_weeks.txt

only if a league is listed in this new map file, it will always use winter balls (which are assigned in map_competitions.txt) - it does not matter is it is snowing or not, winter ball will be used as long as the match falls in-between defined start/end weeks

if really needed, it can be restricted further to use winter balls within given weeks only if it is snowing too

this new map file only specifies week ranges/intervals when winter balls must be used - the ball itself is still assigned in the map_competitions.txt file

the term "week" is synonymous with the league match day - e.g. "Week 1" is actually Day 1 in a league (from the possible range of e.g. Day 1 to Day 38 for the league with 20 teams/2-rounds-each; or range Day 1 to Day 46 range for a league with 24 teams/2-rounds-each; etc.)

important: the "Week" is read from the sider property ctx.match_info - if match_info is 0, that means we have "Week 1" or Day 1 in the league; if match_info value is 37, the week is 38 (always +1), etc.

important: since "week" detection relies upon sider's ctx.match_info property, this new map file (map_winter_weeks.txt) CANNOT BE USED for cup competitions or in exhibition mode!

The concept of a "week" makes no sense in a cup format, and even more important - sider cannot provide such info for cups

Exhibition mode - the same

all cups and exhibitions follow the new default rule - only if it snows, use winter ball

examples: here

and yet another completely new map file map_HiVis_winter_balls.txt, used to define only the special super-hi-vis winter balls - e.g. if a league has a regular yellowish winter ball which is always used during winter weeks (that yellowish ball would still be assigned in map_competitions.txt file), that same league may have different orange/red winter ball only for the low-visibility, heavy-snowfall situations

entries in this file are fully optional - if a competition is not listed here, it will still use its' standard winter ball assigned in your old map_competitions.txt file

makes no sense to use for leagues that have only one universal winter ball good enough for super-bad winter weather too (such as Ligue 1, which tends to use orange/reddish winter balls as the standard winter balls) - in that case, having only the old entry in map_competitions.txt is enough - define that universal winter ball there

Danish league for example does have two different winter balls prescribed

the yellowish one (for fine weather winter matches) goes into map_competitions.txt file

and the special snowfall ball which goes into new map_HiVis_winter_balls.txt file

if both types of winter balls are assigned to a competition (in map_competition and in map_hivis), then the ball from map_HiVis_winter_balls.txt file always has priority

unlike new weekly map file (which is usable only for leagues), this file can have effect on all types of competitions!

example: here

Summary

The biggest unavoidable change in v1.30 is the new default rule for switching to a winter ball ("only if it snows"), nothing is changed in map_teams.txt and in map_competitions.txt

new map file map_winter_weeks.txt enables you to keep the old seasonal way of using winter balls for the leagues that need it - BUT with more precision now, since it supports start/end week style, instead of serving winter balls throughout entire winter season

new map file map_HiVis_winter_balls.txt for the fully optional super hi-vis snow balls for snowy weather, which will override ordinary winter balls

Small update for Kitserver: v1.12

You probably will want to get this version, if you are also using the new SleeveBadge-ArmbandServer by Hawke and juce pesmodding.com/2023/04/pes-2021-sleeve-patcharmband-server

The reason why you'd want to update your Kitserver (just the kserv.lua, nothing else), is because the previous versions were all hiding sleeve badges on CompKits (competition-specific kits) by basically moving them out of sight into extreme positions. This was done, because sleeve badge loading was

[Sider module] Kitserver

Kitserver: a Lua module for Sider 6 and PES 2020

If you are old enough, you may remember that the very first Kitserver (for PES 3) was a small program that allowed the game to load alternative kits (3rd, 4th, European, etc.). It was initially released in 2003. Over the next few years, Kitserver had grown into a more generic tool - very similar to what sider is now, but the original name stuck to it.
