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.

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.

    @Day Tripper 

    I just reverified with the original flut skin, my screen and the game set for resolution and zoom in 100% for the two. 

     

    Before :

     

    You normally put the first or second folder, depending on the position of your image, that I sent you.

     

    After :

    After that you notice that the name and number are not good anymore. And it is at this moment that you put the icon14 that I sent you.

     

    And again please take a screenshot of your entire screen

    I think I might just leave it as it was. Everything else is fine and it is not a major problem.

    I have my windows desktop scaling at 125% - might that be part of the issue?

     

    Hi

    Yes.  For example, for the file sent by Qvordruo you should use 100% windows settings, 100% Zoom in the game and the short sidebar (icons only). Of course I assumed you are using a 1920x1080 screen.

    HI, its possible to have the tactics screen similar this where you can see the kits with the sponsors. thanks

     

    When I started to edit the skin for these year I used a tactics panel with rotation/animation, like that one. However, I concluded that it doesn't work well namely when we minimise the panel. That's why I changed that panel and abandoned that idea. Thus, is possible but doesn't work as it should….

    Hi Flut!

     

    Can you still remember last year when I asked you in the FM Scout Forum if we could have this player overview as an option. You then fulfilled the wish and added other options to the download. That was actually the beginning of the optional folder in the download package, thank you very much for that.


    Therefore, I am very clearly in favor of this Player Overview, in my opinion the best and clearest there is.
    I love this overview because it has everything we need!


    So I would definitely like to have this overview again!

    I think we are all aware of the fact that the second option is the only option and should be the big deal here. Maybe you can switch the firt option to the optional one? 🙂

    Hello.

     

    Check your kit folder. You may have an incorrect or missing path. 

     

    Do you have the same display problem when you look at the players of this team?

    Greetings boss. 
    Like others, I also prefer the second display you propose. It would make the "trademark", again, of your skin. 😉😉👍👍

    After, as it is a question of taste, I suggest to keep the 2 current (middle and left position of the picture) in a file "alt" like that everyone would have the choice of its display.

    Hi Rosek,

    Thanks for the quick reply. I have checked the kit folder and the config file looks ok. 

    I do have the same problem when I look at the players of all teams in Sky Bet Champ. The front shows the England national jersey and the back displays the name on the back of the shirt.

    Cheers

    I think, just like Rosek writes, the second option is, or should be, the hallmark of the annual Flut Skin. In my opinion, this Player Overview has been the masterpiece and can only be exceeded with difficulty or not at all by other variants.


    I would have liked to have had this variant again this year, but didn't dare to ask for it. Because I respect the taste and the work of the modder. Flut makes a lot possible on request, as does Rosek, of course. 
     

    I think not only me but all your fans play every year or every new FM with your skin. And the reactions show that most would like to have the 2018 Player Overview as standard, or at least as an option. Flut / Rosek, would it be possible from now on to always offer this player overview? So also as an alternative for the next skin to the FM22?

    I just installed the 2560 x 1440 version and I got some issues. I am using the zoom at 100%.

    The position of the icons In the player view panel are not correct (left side). 
    So are the kits when I choose another option at the dropdown menue.
    This is In the club view panel (Icons on top, year of foundation isn't set tight).

    Also when I change the zoom to 110% or 125% the row for the name of the coach shifts more downwards.

     

    Any idea if this is fixable?

    Hi all

    First of all thanks for your comments and suggestions. Following the majority I changed the default vision of the player overview panel for the FM18 style. Thus, in the next update this (see below) will be the panel which have 6 different options in the drop down arrow (also as below). The panel of FlutsKin V11, will be as an alternative.

    Rosek: I will not do this “new” panel for picture in the centre since the picture will not be well adjusted in the centre (but in the centre-right) and I don't like the effect.

    Magi1lc: for FM22 I can try to keep this panel (if I know how to do it and, of course, if I still edit the skin 🙂  😉

    For the first 2 problems, can you make a screenshot of the whole player panel please?

    For the third one, it's a little mistake on my part. Good point.
    I will correct it and post this panel.

    Resolution: 2560x1440 // Zoom: 110%

    I changed the zoom to 110% because on 100% it is not playable (way too small). Also I marked the problems blue/lightblue for you 🙂 

     

    UPDATE: I added some more screens. Now that's eveything I could identify so far. I hope this can help you 🙂

    The skin is made to work at 100% zoom for the game and on the screen. If you change either of these two settings, you will get lag.
    Thanks for the points. As soon as possible I will make a 110% version.
    However, the background of the jerseys is in ssk and your kits are in Fc12. You will have to change this one already.

    I just changed the panel from the directory “alt player picture on the middle”. Same thing here.

     

     

    Somehow I really like to use this one rather than the player picture on the left side. I would say on this resolution 110% or 125% is waaaay much better then 100% because…it's really really small and you are gonna destroy your eyes with it. 

     

    I would really love to have a fantastic stable 110% or 125% version on the next v12 release (FlutSkin 2018 player panel view) so please do not invest that much time, as Flut is gonna release a new version soon 🙂 I can live with that on this one.

     

    And last but not least: Thank you guys! This is really amazing!

    Hi. I don't use touch. Maybe it works but I really don't know and even working you need many xmls to put in the touch skin and I can't help you in that task. Sorry.

    Hi. That problem is not related to the skin. In my game the stadium is Gelder Group Sincil Bank Stadium. Maybe in the season you play the club (Lincoln) are playing in the Leicester Stadium (for instance if the Licoln stadium is under remodelng). But as I said, this is nothing to do with the skin.
