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.

    @flut. Hello boss.

     

    I need a little help. 
    During the match, when the tablet appears, if a player scores a goal the icon appears. However, when the passer is on, his icon does not appear. Is there a way to make it appear in these points as well?

    Well..I tried but without success. In that panel the goal icon is displayed using the code goal_icon. I searched and there is not any code regarding the assist (like that one for goal). When I included the icon for assists that icon is showed in all players and not only for the players with assists in the match….Thus, I believe we can't do it.

    the flag

    Go to player overview panel.xml and change the values of the top and the left inset in the following (which starts in line 462

     

    <widget class="nation_button" id="natH" icon_alignment="left,top" dspf="4">
          <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="top" inset="268.5" />
      <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="centre" inset="0"/>
    <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="vertical" inset="0" />
    <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="left" inset="28"/>

    No problems. I'll maybe check the SI forum to see if I can find an answer to my question. I know there is a thread that talks about the console. Maybe the author can help me ?
    And for information, I also started a thread on the SI site for the opposition panel that I wanted to change. I first wrote to the French moderator of SI, he couldn't answer me except to turn me to the skinners... Which I did. I'm waiting for an answer for that...

     

    Take care also of you and your loved ones.

    Oh I think I understand now. The pack I downloaded was specifically designed for Flut for the other panels rather than the club panel. Is there a pack with all the kits for the club panel without having to download them all seperately? If there isnt then its fine but I think I understand now!

     

    Thank you!!

    I will come back to you. I have finished the pack of kits in ssk format. If you are interested ?
    If you will use it, you will also need to change the background to ssk.

    Hi Rosek

     

    Regarding the opposition panel, I know the xmls (or some of them) responsible for the panel. The thing I couldn't find is precisely that icon you talked about, since in the xml responsible for that β€œbar” on the right there is no code for the icon…

    @aethelbeorn:

    Go to player scout reports small9.xml and decrease the value of the left inset in this code line

     

    <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="left" inset="80" />

     

     

     

     

    Thanks Flut , worked a treat moved down to 25

    Okay. 

    What I wanted to do was to remove the last sentence ( most dribbling ) in the panel on the right and replace it with the best player ( like on the comparison panel of the opponent team ) 

     

    Well, I'll have to go to work. Good afternoon and thanks for the informations. πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ˜ŠπŸ˜ŠπŸ‘ŒπŸ‘Œ

    I really don't know what is happenning. However, that problem with english clubs have already reported by several fm players (for example, the kit not be showing during a match of champions league…). I heard elsewhere that is a problem related to the kits licence but I really don't know. In spite of that, I don't know if was the case of your second screenshot but, sometimes, if you saw a player in the national team and after that, go to the club, the kit showed is that one of the national team (I also don't know why it happens but….it happens).

    One more thing: go to the kit picture and look if the file extension is .PNG and not .png. If so, the problem is that one and you just have to change the file extension to .png

     

    thank you so much for all this advice

    I think we misunderstood each other then. Or maybe I misspelled the name of the sign. I'm sorry.
     

    I did notice something odd though. On the "team report" I don't have the icons that appear on the opposing team whereas they are visible on "opposition visualisation". But on the other hand when I look in "line up", on my team, they are present :

    I believe that the game do it in that way…Did you try to use the default skin in order to see if is the same?

    In meantime, I tried to include new information below the dribblings (instead of replacing that information) but without success. However, I did some changes in the panel, including new information for the players, the players pictures and increasing the pitch (and also include the goals/nets). Here is a screenshot.

    I also fix the bug when we use the default skin: when we are in a match and go to opposition instructions and click on the β€œanalysis” button (on the top left of the pitch) another pitch (for heat map) with perspective  and smaller are displayed over the other one..Now both pitches have the same dimensions and, then, it look good.

    @flut I took the liberty to combine your panels with others based on my preferences but kept yours as main. For the manager screen (basically a tweaked YACS20 manager profile), I've found some useful line codes elsewhere which I think you may consider useful if you would ever want to tweak it further (mainly the favored clubs, manager personality and tactical style, which are a bit harder to find)
