FM 2021 FLUT skin dark - Version 16.0

Dear all

This FLUTSKIN version 16 is the final version of FLUTSKIN for FM21!!

A great thank you to all FM fans who choose to play with FLUTSKIN and always keep me motivated to still improving the skin and gave me new ideas!!!

A special thank you to all players who decided to distinguish my work with a donation!! Although just a small part of FM Players who use the skin made a donation (I edited the skin as a hobby and, as you know, completely free), I always feel honoured and happy when people recognize the work done and decide to contribute. So, I reinforce, I have to give a special thank you to that friends of FlutsKin!!!!!!

Also a recognized thank you to those one who help me answering the questions and requests and adapted the FlutSkin (namely and specially Rosek for the help to answering questions and the adapted version for 2560x1440, and Richbell, for the adapted version with hidden attributes!!!!! And, of course I don't forget the skinners community who also indirectly contributed to FlutSkin with their creativity.

Also a special thank you to PATRES10, from fmslovakia for the 2D default kits (especially tailor-made for FlutSkin) anf to Michael Murray since I started editing the match inbetween highlights panel based on his amazing work!!

Now is time to stop editing the skin for this season. I wish to return for FM22. Lets wait and see since no one is able to predict the future.

MAIN CHANGES IN v16.0
- Following the great idea of majesticeternity, Tyburn and a31632 (from Sports Interactive community) I included in several xmls a code for personalize the background in specific panels, namely club overview, player overview, board room, human profile and team training. These codes are not “activated” by default but if you want to have a different (customized) background in each one of that panels you just have to activate the codes. In the read me file I explain how you can do it.
- Nation overall panel
- Nation overview panel
- Human profile panel
- Player profile stadium option in player overview panel
- News panel

The Skin pack also includes:
1. “Round country flags”, “round continents logos” and default logos specially made in metallic style by @Qvordrup from sourtitoutsi. Those graphics will be displayed in the title bar.

Thank you @Qvordrup by your great work and for your collaboration!!!

You can download the 2D packs prepared for Flutskin (titlebar and player overview panel) here in sourtitoutsi. FC style kits HERE; SS Kits style HERE
However, if you prefer edit your own kits, I also included in the pack a .pdf file explaining how you can edit the kits for Flutskin.

If you prefer SS'kits you can download this and replace the kits folder located here:
Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2021\skins\fm2021flutskin_dark\graphics\pictures\kits
HERE

The logos in country locators are now updated by @Qvordrup according the last version of metallic logos.

You can also download the stadiums background megapack and the citypics released by @DazS8 (thank you, my friend) HERE and HERE

And @geordie1981 has made a pack for inside "small" stadiums HERE

You can also download the sortitoutsi Backgrounds Megapack HERE

As always FlutSkin is completely free to download and I hope you enjoy it. However, if you want, you can reward my work donating whatever amount you wish. Any small amount is really appreciated.

You can do so by clicking the button down below:


SOME ADITTIONAL NOTES:

PLEASE NOTE THAT MANY SCREENSHOTS ARE FROM PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF THE SKIN

FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO MAKE THE GAME MORE DIFFICULT, YOU ALSO CAN DOWNLOAD AN ADAPTED VERSION OF THE SKIN (V. 15) WITH THE ATTRIBUTES VALUES HIDDEN. THIS ADAPTED VERSION WAS AN IDEA OF RICHBELL AND, ALTHOUGH WITH MY HELP, IT WAS RICHBELL WHO ALSO DID THE MAJORITY OF THE CHANGES. THANK YOU MY FRIEND!
Please note that for this version working well (with hidden attributes) you should remove the original version of the skin.


FOR THOSE WHO USE 2560x1440 RESOLUTION YOU ALSO CAN DOWNLOAD THE ADAPTED VERSION (v. 16.0) EDITED BY ROSEK

THE SKIN IS TOTALLY COMPATIBLE WITH 1920x1080 SCREEN RESOLUTION AND 4k (windows display settings 200%; game 100%).
YOU SHOULD USE IT IN FULL WINDOWS, ICONS ONLY


Important note regarding TV LOGOS:
Although the default tv logo is the one I use, of course you can easily change it; for that you just have to go to skin/graphics/icons/tv logos. In that folder there is a alt folder with many TV logos. You just have to replace the tv logo.png and the tv [email protected] for that one you want. Of course you should rename the new logos as tv logo and tv logo@2x. You also can use other logos made by you. The procedure to use them is exactly the same. However, I should remember that yo should use logos with the right height. For tv logo you should use 25px and for the @2x you should use 50px.


Resolution requirements:
This skin was made to work properly in 3840x2160 (4K with windows display settings 200%) and also 1920x1080 (1080p) full screen mode, sidebar icons only. As a result, some panels won’t work properly in other resolutions.

How to add Flut Skin in FM21
Download and extract the .rar file (using either 7-Zip for Windows or The Unarchiver for Mac).

Place the "fm2021flutskin_dark" folder here:
Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2021\skins

  • Create the folder "skins" if it doesn't exist.
  • Start FM21 and go to Preferences screen and then into the Interface tab.
  • You should see FM 2021 Flut Skin dark - Version 16.0 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.

    Hi

    1. is possible. You can use the tv logos you want. For that, you should create that tv logos. After create the tv logos you only have to change the code that points to the tv logo. For example:

    now, for lineups the code (is in match preview lineups panel.xml) is (there are two pieces of code, one for home team and other for away team)

     

    <widget class="picture" file="icons/tv logos/tv logo" height="16" auto_size="horizontal" scale_picture="true" >
        <animation class="fade_animation" start_value="0" end_value="1" duration="0.5" delay="1" end_mode="hold_auto_reverse" trigger_id="hidden" trigger_start="false" trigger_end="true" />
       </widget>

     

    Imagine you create a new tv logo, placed it in the same folder of the current, but the name is tv logo1. You just have to change the code for

     

    <widget class="picture" file="icons/tv logos/tv logo1" height="16" auto_size="horizontal" scale_picture="true" >
        <animation class="fade_animation" start_value="0" end_value="1" duration="0.5" delay="1" end_mode="hold_auto_reverse" trigger_id="hidden" trigger_start="false" trigger_end="true" />
       </widget>

     

    You can do it in this way for all the tv logos you want.

    The codes are in

    match preview lineups panel.xml (for lineups)

    match title bar.xml (for tv logo during the match)

    match league table panel cutscene.xml (for Tv Logo in league table)

    match caption panel small.xml (for match caption small - the popup panel when you score a goal)

     

    2. the answer 1 serves for this

    3. Yes, you're right. I tested a TV Logo in that other situations (for example penalty) but it doesn't work well. That's why I didn't include TV logo in that other kind of goals.

     

    @flut - I followed your instructions, reloaded the skin and it works perfectly.  I now have the goal panels popping up with the colour version of the tv logo and the white version in the top corner.  A big thank you to you, it's little details like that that make the modded game real.

    Flut, it is easy to understand: 
    🙂

    The Career Statistiques have a long List, So, when you only have one box right bottom, The Lenght it is not so long, that you can see the most of the Career Steps.
    i love, when you can see most of them, and not have to scroll down with the mouse in the Box.
    this is reason, that i thought, if we can put the two Boxes together, then the Box Length is so good, that most of the Career Steps can be shown without scrolling too much.

    🙂  now, you know what i mean?

     

     can't what you have on the right be put in the panel on the left? 🤔🤔

    Sorry Mate, but I´ve found a Bug in you last version (Download from today evening):

     

    In the player overview the information such as age, height, strong and weak foot, etc. is missing. The field is empty.

    Another Question (Bug?):

     

    I noticed, that that there is a shadow under the Trikot on other teams? 

    But that's not the case with my own team, as you can see at my screen above regarding Lewandowski.

     

    Doesn't look so nice…. Is there a solution for this?

     

    Here example Pictures, look at the arrow!

    Thank's for the messages.

     

    • First problem : In the "overwiew player panel" search for "nation logo" and remove all. It’s actually the addition of the flag above the logo that creates this decalage...
    • Secondary problem : Your kits are fc12 model. The back is in ssk. Use the "alt" normally provided for this.

    Wouldn't it be better if I just rename the sky png file to tv logo5? And then I just copy the two files into the folder (last part of the instructions).
    It works faster than if I have to go through the procedure of editing the lines in the files after every skin update?
    Or is there something against it?

    Greetings Mag1lc2 👋👋

     

    Of course you can simply change to TVLogo5. 😉😉
    It's clearly more convenient.👍👍

    Especially for those who don't know much about writing code...

    Hi Mag1lc. If you are talking about the role duty pie in the match tactics, as I said before, don't worry because they will be there in the next release.

    I am very grateful to you for your help. Unfortunately, the author of the skin does not reply to e-mails. that's why I turned to you again. I will gladly repay you if, for example, you need video adboards for your game. I will send you e.g. England boards. if you can help me please still with this picture.

    Ah, perfect!

     

    Yes, I meant the tactic screen in a 3D game.

     

    When I pause this to make a substitution, the player icons don't have this circle that shows how well they are in the role.
    This circle can only be seen on the normal Home > Tactics screen.
