Since I've recently been playing again (and I know others are as well since we all have to wait til 2025 or whatever for SM2) I've been thinking about what I could replace as part of a surprise update, but haven't come up with anything. I try to only use ads that are appropriate to the autumn 2018 setting.
If you play the Miles Morales expansion, make sure to download the version for that as well ;)
Waiting for this mod in Spiderman 2! Idk much about modding but in the Venom vs Kraven Boss Fight mission theres some cool animated billboards in times square that only appears on that mission. Maybe they can be added in the free roam of Spiderman 2 with real brands on it. U can check this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-M4EJRhpMf8&t=438s&ab_channel=AFGuidesHD In the Minute 0:30 theres one biggest sign with a fire moving and on the left theres another one that says something like "Montana Red's Hot Sauce" (u can see it more properly in 2:00) And in the 1:35 theres another sign of moving vegetation
This can't be done. The game only displays video on these billboards during those specific scenes. I'm altering the images that it displays during the rest of the game.
now that spiderman 2 is out and you said you'd be working on one for the new game would it be possible to throw like team ads in close to the garden or subways idk maybe some ny rangers boards on the garden or knicks feel like it would be a nice addition to the immersion
and appreciate you for making this mod initially such a good add on especially in times square
I'll look into it, but almost every ad shows up in multiple spots so part of the trick is finding ads that contextually work in most places they're found. I did something like this in the Miles Morales version to take advantage of the Christmas decor at the Garden.
Yes, in all likelihood. I've already spent some time agonizing about whether or not I should focus on playing the game first or focus on getting the mod out first whenever the game comes out. I was beaten to the punch on Miles Morales by a mod of IMO not great quality and I've been bitter about it ever since lol
It is amazing the attention to detail, ypu really feel the ny marketing style and contrast as if the real deal, never seeing ads made me so happy thank you
Thank you! The real trick is that I tried to use inspiration from real ads that had actually been displayed in NYC around 2018. If you play Miles Morales, make sure to check out the MM version.
see normally i would never get a mod like this cause no offense but why would i want a random ad in my game but lucky for you i have an unhealthy obsession with mr robot
I put a lot of work into looking for appropriate, relevant, well-designed ads that have actually been on display in NYC and did my best to recreate them. All of the media ads are for media that was out approximate to the autumn 2018 setting of the game. This mod is less about the ads and more about creating a more immersive and true-to-life feeling of New York City, for those like me who love the city. What's more iconic than giant Coca-Cola ads in Time's Square?
The only thing I intentionally used despite coming out after 2018 was the updated Burger King branding, just because it works much better for the format.
And yeah I love Mr. Robot too. Make sure you get the Miles Morales version too if you play that ;)
Hello, I searched for comments and did not find an answer to my question. If I missed it, I apologize. Is it possible to find a list of all the billboards in the game somewhere? I want to add my pictures, but I am very poorly versed in the program. In a few hours of searching, I found only a few of the necessary files. But they don't want to change either.
There is no comprehensive list and unfortunately it would be far too time consuming for me to make one from my own files. You should join the modding discord, you will find help there learning how to edit textures.
The vanilla ads are static as are these. They will stay in place throughout the game except during the Devil's Breath outbreak when Time's Square displays all change.
Note that by static I mean they will remain in place. If a vanilla ad was animated, e.g. the Couture ads, the animated soda ads, etc, then I have kept them animated in the mod.
Ahh ok so they work exactly like the Vanilla ones, why did i had a feeling they would change the more you progress in the game, when i say change i don't mean animation i mean they change into a completely different ad, or am i imagining things, i have not played the game since launch planning on replaying again so i am looking at mods to download
Hi, awesome work. I was wondering maybe you could tell me how I open a .texture file to make some sign changes of my own. I have found some sign textures and extracted them using SMPC, but GIMP gives me "Unknown File Type". I did some modding in Starfield with .dds files, but not sure how to to it here. Thanks in advance! and keep up the good work!

Feel free to update some of the ads or add more
If you play the Miles Morales expansion, make sure to download the version for that as well ;)

Also curious to know, will you end up doing a similar mod for Spider-Man 2 (and whatever other Spider-Man games Insomniac make) when it comes to PC?

I don't think it'd make too much sense either as the game takes place over just a few days.
