NOCTURNO 18.1.0
-----------------------
Skin for Football Manager 18 (Sports Interactive)
Edited by El Comandante Qwas
website: www.sortitoutsi.net
-----------------------
How to add Nocturno in FM18?

Download and extract the .rar file. Place the "Nocturno 18.1.0" folder here:
Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2018\skins

Create the folder "skins" if it doesn't exist.
Start FM18 and go to Preferences screen and then into the Interface tab.
You should see Nocturno 18.1.0 as an 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.
------------------------
Resolution requirements:

This skin was made to work properly in 1600x900 full screen mode. Some panels won’t work properly in lower resolutions. Hi-res: I guess this skin will work quite well but I`m not 100% sure.
------------------------
Credits & special thanks:

In the preparation of this skin, I used xml & gfx files as well as ideas of various skinmakers. Therefore I would like to thank them and credit their work and creativity.

Also, I would like to thank wkdsoul and D_LO_ for their very helpful coding discussions on SI Games forum.

-----------------
Please remember - save your game before first use of Nocturno skin!

Very important!
Before starting the game with Nocturno skin, clear your FM cache. Below is a link to the mod, which explains how to do it. I strongly recommend that you do it. Unfortunately, the latest updates of SI Games have been strongly mixed up, especially with text and fonts.

Enjoy it!

Small update. Please download and extract files then overwrite your original sub-folders "panels" and "graphics" in Nocturno Bera 1.0 folder. Save and refresh your game.
Sorry for problem.

Hey Qwas, brilliant comeback! Loving the skin. There is a problem with tactic screen tho - there is no pitch and i can't move players around.

Gagi, there is not grass pattern in original file. SI used ordinary box with green background. But below is a quick solution - not best but better than nothing. Download the attached file. Unpack and upload files to the correct subfolders. Next save game and refresh skin. I hope it will satisfy your expectations.

Second issue - sounds strange. I dont have such problems.

2d lags a bit, it doesn't happen on default skin. It's probably my PC, it's kinda crappy.

Loving the metallic color on processing, it has some Turnstyle vibe into it, as well as that pattern behind Continue button.

And BS is amazing - so many options there. Once again, thank you and those who helped you for this skin.

Ok mates quick solutions.

Variant no.1 - if you dont care about icons with players` faces then open folder with Nocturno skin go to panels/tactics and delete file "tactics overview side panel.xml". Next save game and refresh skin. Tactics panel should look like in the picture below:
http://pics.tinypic.pl/i/00950/lvxctu4rqm05_t.jpg

Variant no.2 - if you want to see faces of your players then you can use the solution made by Rick Ctid Thorne in his Andromeda skin. It`s mix with kit and face like in the picture below:
http://pics.tinypic.pl/i/00950/e4q6ugerettk_t.jpg
I added two rar files: first with transparent pitch and second with grass (Gagi style). Unrar and upload files to "Nocturno.../panels/tactics" ---> save game --> refresh skin

Btw I hope I will find final solution though analysis of many files before me



Could you send me full screenies with Turkish letters issue pls (on PM)? I will try to determine which font doesnt support Turkish characters (I guess same problem with Greek and Cyrillic characters).

This is a great skin but the key attributes are not being highlighted for each position. The only way to see the key attributes is when you have the option of "Attribute Boxes". Is there anyway to have them highlighted in other modes as well? Thanks.

Also, as a question how can i edit player attributes to be shown as managers attributes (with green, not blue boxes)?

Excuse the translation of Google.

Thanks for the great skin.
I do not distinguish colors a little.
Tell me how to change the background color.

Awesome skin, thanks QwasNoMore.
When the font size is reduced by 85%, it looks good also at the resolution of 1366x768.
https://preview.ibb.co/fop5LG/20171209151040_1.jpg
But could you tell me where I can move the logo to the left? I put a photo of the fan of the team, but it is not visible behind the logo.Thanks in advance for help!

And when I clicked on that red thing:

Edit: reloading the skin helped. Not sure how that happened since I reloaded the skin 50 times before that.

Hi QwasNoMore

First let me say well done for an excellent skin.
Just a couple of small things.
Would you be able to tell me which panels are control by the ones highlighted in the picture.
As the one in the corner I want to try an get to show national logo but keep the flag in the details panel.
Second I want to make the writing a little small so it does not overlap.

This is a fantastic skin.

I am running into an error on the tactics screen however: You can't change a players position.

Say for example I am playing a 3-5-1, and I want to drop my wingers back to wingbacks. Normally you would click on a player and all the 'boxes' on the tactic screen would light up, and yopu can drag the selected player anywhere you want to.

For some reason I am unable to do this, and am not sure why. Can post a screen shot if you need to to.

Thanks,

Dav

Great great skin Q! Well done!

In line with Yurka's comment, I adjusted the player attributes color scheme a little for myself (no background colors and other font colors), and I was wondering which file I have to edit to show the cut out photo of a player combined with the team logo on the players profile page (so without the team shirt or the signature. Also, I would like to position the team logo more to the left of the cut out picture)

As said, I like the skin a lot and gonna use it, but these are just personal preferences I also liked on the Steklo and Vitrex skins in previous years.

I tried to delete the background color boxes by just removing them from the code but that didn't work Then I decided to edit the RGB codes for the background boxes. The code now looks like this:

<colour name="low attribute" red="150" green="150" blue="150" alpha="140"/>
<colour name="normal attribute" red="250" green="250" blue="250" alpha="200"/>
<colour name="good attribute" red="69" green="149" blue="15" />
<colour name="excellent attribute" red="0" green="255" blue="0" />
<colour name="low attribute background" red="40" green="40" blue="40" alpha="140"/>
<colour name="normal attribute background" red="40" green="40" blue="40" alpha="200"/>
<colour name="good attribute background" red="0" green="255" blue="0" />
<colour name="excellent attribute background" red="255" green="100" blue="17" />

In game, I now have a light green background box for good attributes and an orange background box for excellent attributes. This way attributes stand out more.... but hey... I'm also still curious how I can show the attributes texts only, without the boxes. Secret of the chef.

I have added attributes selector in player profile. You have 4 option including attributes without boxes:

Yes I know it. But finally I didnt add player profile in gunzo style. I didnt remove all unnecessary files yet.

If you want to make any changes in player picture panel then go to:
C:\Users\lenovo\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2018\skins\Nocturno Beta 1.0\panels\player\cfm\, there are 3 files:
cfm player picture

This is a great skin but the key attributes are not being highlighted for each position. The only way to see the key attributes is when you have the option of "Attribute Boxes". Is there anyway to have them highlighted in other modes as well? Thanks.

I didnt find solution of this issue. But you can set the highlight for the version of the attributes you want to use. You have to make only small change. I am explaining what and where.
1st step - go to C:\Users\lenovo\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2018\skins\Nocturno Beta 1.0\panels\player
2nd step - open (in Notepad ++ or Notepad) files:
"player overview panel" (file A)
"player overview attributes selector" (file B)

Find such fragment in file A
<widget class="player_attributes_panel" file="player/player attributes panel b1" id="pat1" late_loading="true">
<translation id="title" type="use" value="Attributes Colored Boxes" />
</widget>

Find such fragment in file B
<widget class="player_attributes_panel" id="paxe" late_loading="true" file="player/player attributes panel">
<translation id="title" translation_id="229822" type="use" value="Attributes" />
</widget>

<widget class="player_attributes_panel" id="patt" late_loading="true" file="player/player attributes panel b2">
<translation id="title" type="use" value="Attributes Boxes" />
</widget>

Now, If you want to use colored boxes, change the value (marked in red) from "pat1" to "patt" and change the value (marked in green) to "pat1". I know strange solution but it works
