FM 2016 FLUT dark skin v2.3

Dark skin for FM 2016 regular career mode and widescreens (1920x1080).

I'm pleased to present you the version 2.3 of FLUT Skin Dark for FM16 .

Compatible with DF11, Scope and Cutout Faces.
Compatible with Backgrounds (however, some of them will not be shown, instead, the citypics will be displayed).



Released: 04 September, 2016

Thanks to all FM fans and especially to all of the fantastic FM skinners who made it possible to produce the FLUTSkin as it is today since FM 2013.

Resolution requirements
This skin was made to work properly in 1920x1080 full screen mode. As a result, some panels won’t work properly in other resolutions (and also in 1920x1080 windowed mode).



The changes (some of them are just minor changes) in this version are in the following panels:

Stadium Overview Panel
Game Processing
Calendar Popup Panel
Club General Panel
Nation General Panel
Team Report Panel
Manager Home Panel



IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. In this pack I included a TUTORIAL PDF with instructions regarding the structure of your Graphics folder in order to view the citypics, the kits and the competition logos in player details and in title bar.

2. I also included a folder with the files you need to use in order to remove the attributes background boxes (you just have to place the files of that folder in the panels folder of the skin and overwrite the originals)

3. You can download the FOOTBALL MANAGER BACKGROUNDS SUPERPACK or the citypics MEGAPACK 4.0 HERE or HERE to further enhance the skin.


How to add Flut Skin in FM16

Download and extract the .rar file (using either 7-Zip for Windows or The Unarchiver for Mac).

Place the "fm2016flutskindark" folder here:
Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2016\skins
Create the folder "skins" if it doesn't exist.

Start FM16 and go to Preferences screen and then into the Interface tab.
You should see FM 2016 Flut Skin - v. 2.3 Dark Version as option in the skin drop down of the Overview box.
Hit the Confirm button.

Please note this skin is provided as is. It has nothing to do with Sports Interactive or SEGA and won't be supported by them.

Solid Snake, Palo90 and guelyoun5 :
As I said in the skin post the skin only works properly in 1920x1080 (full screen and desirably sidebar icons-only). Of course you can try to adjust it but you have to edit diverse xml. Unfortunately I have no time to make the skin for other resolutions. Sorry….

kopite15:
Concerning the attributes, you have to go to the “player overview panel” (in the panels folder of the skin) and search for the following code:

<translation id="title" translation_id="229822" type="use" value="Attributes" />
<widget class="player_attributes_panel" file="player attributes panel1" id="pat1" late_loading="true">

Change “player attributes panel1” for “player attributes panel”

After that, delete the file “player attributes panel” in the panels folder of the skin.

I didn’t understand your question….

Thank you for your answer, I hope I can find a way to use that great skin with bigger fonts. Thank you for your work.
I also play with 1920x1080 resolution, but I increased zoom mode, that is the problem I guess.

Hi Flut, great skin!!! I use it since FM2015. I know that it is complicated to make happy to all users and you have other worries...but I think that many people play FM in Windowed mode. If you don't have time to adapt the skin, what are the .xml files that we have to edit??? At least the "General panel" of a player (where we can see a phone with player picture and their basic info), I think that this is what most "squeaks" to the eye. Thankssss

Thanks Maverix and NunoKopio ;-)

chaodck: please read the tutorial (pdf) I included in the skin pack. I think it could answer your doubts.

cheers


Thanks for the reply Flut. I've read the tutorials on the PDF's, but couldn't understand what to do with them. Care to explain step by step for dummies like me? As I said on my post, I've got my own graphics folder, with the player pics all in one folder, but the kits and logos on different folders, separated by country, league and team.

Sorry to be a pain, thanks in advance!

First of all I have to say that this is a GREAT skin!! Makes the game look different and better!!

The only problem I have is that I cannot change the color either for the attributes background nor the colors of the attribute numbers
Seems they cant be changed inside the game but even when I try from the settings folder the colors still stay the same...
Any thoughts?

Keep up the great job!!

Hi @chaodck I don’t know if I can help you as I can’t see your graphics structure…however the problem is not related to the fact you reported (separate folders).

Hi @Alex13 and @scottpratt
Thanks ;-)
In order to change the atribute background boxes colours you have to go to the settings folder and change the values in the following code

<colour name="unknown attribute background" red="210" green="210" blue="210"/>
<colour name="low attribute background" red="197" green="221" blue="242"/>
<colour name="normal attribute background" red="150" green="198" blue="242"/>
<colour name="good attribute background" red="161" green="193" blue="51" />
<colour name="excellent attribute background" red="117" green="147" blue="13" />

After that you have to exit game and reload it.


Hi @Wescar00: thanks ;-); I don’t know what happens but sometimes, when we change a xml and the code we changed is incorrect (for instance missing “” or there is a > or < in the wrong place) the game show that error. But really I don’t know what happens in your case. Try to read the text of that message in order to know what kind of error is…

Hi @hinbill: Thanks ;-) I don’t know if I understood your answer but if you are talking about the kits in match inbetween highlights, in fact I had no time (yet) to analyse if is possible to do that change and if it works….

Chris Kessaris: you can find the square logos in FMIF (an Italian forum). The config, you have to change it as I explain in pdf tutorial.

Respira: thanks ;-). Concerning your questions - 1. I don’t remember where I did the download of round flags megapack. Sorry…2. is not a bug; in fact when you see the player in the nation squad the logo shown is the national logo instead the club logo (this happens because the code for both is the same).

2- how can i remove the the logos from appear(removing from the panel?)

For the first question please read the pdf tutorial (the competition logo, in nation panel, change to nation flag); for the second question, if you delete that code, you also don't have the team logo in player profile).

Hi Flut i have used your skin in the past and i can say its one of the best if not the best skin around , i also helped by finding city pics for Malta for the city pics pack , latley i really have been wishing to use DNK Backgrounds ( the ones with the club logo and colour as background : http://www.fmscout.com/a-dnk-2015-bg-megapack.html ) with it , is there some way i can go around this and have Flut Skin with DNK Backgrounds instead of the blue background ? If i could do this it would be awesome man.

Hi joão: Thanks!! Concerning the stadium pics, you can find it in several foruns (I think even here in Sourtitoutsi, and also in FMScout for instance)
Hi Wolverine: yes I remember your help in citypics. Unfortunately the configs for citypics are similar to the DNK backgrounds. So...we can't use both.
Hi neochrome: sorry. I didn't understand. You want to remove the colored background boxes?

Hi Flut, great skin. Thanks for all the hard work.

Can I ask how to change the font and box colour for the attributes? I change it in preferences but when I go to the player profile it still shows your default colours.

Yes, absolutely, you had already given me the example to follow but the download link is dead.


And I'd like to change the size of face and make it normal.

Hi davidmn: thanks.

In order to change the atribute background boxes colours you have to go to the settings folder and change the values in the following code

<colour name="unknown attribute background" red="210" green="210" blue="210"/>
<colour name="low attribute background" red="197" green="221" blue="242"/>
<colour name="normal attribute background" red="150" green="198" blue="242"/>
<colour name="good attribute background" red="161" green="193" blue="51" />
<colour name="excellent attribute background" red="117" green="147" blue="13" />

After that you have to exit game and reload it.


Hi neochrome:

For remove the background boxes you have to do the following:

PLAYER ATTRIBUTES PANEL1.xml (responsible for player profile panel) - search for:

<record index="2" id="val " top="1" bottom="2" sort_disabled="true" column_alignment="centre">
<record id="widget_info" class="attribute_label" alignment="centre, can_scale" colour="white" size="12" font="fonts/ProximaNova-Bold1" style="bold" use_attribute_colour_as_bg="true" appearance="boxes/custom/attributes/paper"/>
</record>

change for:

<record index="2" id="val " sort_disabled="true" column_alignment="centre" right="8">
<record id="widget_info" class="attribute_label" alignment="right, centre_y" style="semi_bold" multi_line="false"/>
</record>

PLAYER ATTRIBUTES PANEL.xml (responsible for attribute panel) - search for
<record index="2" id="val " top="1" bottom="2" sort_disabled="true" column_alignment="centre">
<record id="widget_info" class="attribute_label" alignment="centre, can_scale" colour="white" size="12" font="fonts/ProximaNova-Bold1" style="bold" use_attribute_colour_as_bg="true" appearance="boxes/custom/attributes/paper"/>
</record>

and change for:

<record index="2" id="val " sort_disabled="true" column_alignment="centre" right="8">
<record id="widget_info" class="attribute_label" alignment="right, centre_y" style="semi_bold" multi_line="false"/>
</record>

Concerning the normal face (without phone mobile) put this file (change the name to player overview panel) in the panels folder
