Dear all

This is FLUTSKIN version 6.0 for FM22!!

Ten years (!!!!) after start editing the Flutskin I would like to give a great thank you to all FM fans who choose to play with FLUTSKIN and always keep me motivated to still editing the skin and gave me new ideas!!!

A special thank you to all of 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 thank you to all the skin makers who indirectly contribute to my work, and a special thank you to PATRES10, from fmslovakia for the 2D default kits (especially tailor-made for FlutSkin), to MICHAEL MURRAY since I started editing the match inbetween highlights panel based on his amazing work, to QVORDRUP, for the metallic “Round country flags” and his great collaboration in the “country locator maps”, to NUNO KOPIO for the “Square shiny flags” I included as alt files (for using as an alternative to the “Round country flags”) and to DAZS8 for his great work in the addons for Flutskin.

This FLUTSKIN for FM22 is almost equal to the last version of Flutskin for FM21. Therefore, you can find so many changes comparing to the default skin that I can’t present them here. I suggest you to see with your eyes all the changes!!

 

Main changes in 6.0 of FLUTSKIN:
- Home panel (individual match analysis included)
- Player popup panel (information about media handling style and personality included)
- Player profile panel (drop down arrow with two profile styles included; profile 1 as it was in version 5.0; profile 2 with the front and back kits instead of the attributes analyser)

 

The pack includes many alt files for customize the skin (please read the read me file included in the pack) and several tutorials: 1) how should be the configs for the stadiums packs; 2) how can you adjust the size and the place of the kit number in player overview panel; 3) how can you do the 2D kits adapted for Flutskin. BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS OR REQUESTS, PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THE ALT FOLDERS AND ALSO AT THE READ ME AND TUTORIAL FILES!!

If you prefer SS'kits as default kits, you can download this and replace the kits folder located here: Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2022\skins\fm2022flutskin_dark\graphics\pictures\kits
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.

 

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]  https://sortitoutsi.net/forums/topic/44650/city-pictures-mega-pack and https://www.fmscout.com/a-fm20-stadiums-megapack-flut.html#c47975

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.

 

Important note regarding kit number and name in the player overview panel:

Since many people asked about the adjustments in the number and name in the kits (in player overview panel), and also since I already answered that many many times, I decided to make my “job” easier, avoiding answering that question again, and again and again 🙂.

Thus I did a tutorial which is included in the skin pack.


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.

 

[b]How to add Flut Skin in FM22[/b]
Download and extract the .rar file (using either 7-Zip for Windows or The Unarchiver for Mac).

Place the "fm2022flutskin_dark" folder here: 
Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2022\skins

[*] Create the folder "skins" if it doesn't exist.
[*] Start FM22 and go to Preferences screen and then into the Interface tab.
[*] You should see FM 2021 Flut Skin dark - 5.0 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.

Despite FM22 still being in beta, we have a Flutskin that is all but the final version we had in FM21. This amazing skin has no equals. There are quite a few skins already available for FM22 but none come close. As I've said many times, they are simply pimped up versions of the default skin. The Flutskin is the only true custom built skin available. This adds to a far greater immersion within the game. He has spent many hours building his skins and that brings me to my next point. We all like a freebie for sure but I think that talent and hard work deserves to be rewarded, so I'm appealing to those who haven't made a contribution so far. Flut never asks for renumeration, unlike another skinner out there who demands £2.50 if you wish to access the "pro" version of his fairly average skin. For the Flutskin, the option is there to contribute via his PayPal account. So, come on guys, recognise what you've got with the unique Flutskin and donate whatever you feel is reasonable. It's not just about the quality of the skin but Flut himself is a great guy who has answered all my questions and queries. So, you not only have a unique skin but the essential backup, should you need it.

Agree 100%, you only have to compare the file sizes to see the work involved, I for one have been happy to buy Flut a few beers over the last week

 

the customer care is superb, and as you say, a really nice fella.

I'm still really confused haha. If I click where you've both highlighted it just brings me back to page one of this thread? And there is still no download button? I don't understand what I'm doing wrong?

You're not doing anything wrong, it seems the link is broken.

Does anyone know if there is a way to remove the small kit display to the right of the player headshot on any player profile? Mine shows the default kit but the name and squad number does not fit and I have tried zooming out 85% which makes it fit (unless the player name is too long). I would just prefer perhaps player pic with perhaps club and country badge next to player headshot.

 

 

Thanks in advance and like others have said, it improves the game interface.

Exactly right. I've highlighted in the past for people to look at the file size to appreciate just how much content there is in a Flutskin.

Well, Bart and Charlston, my friends, now you've let me get shy and very touched. And in these situations I don't even know what to say 🙂 So, a big thank you for the kind words and also for all the support and suggestions (including the donations you always send) you have been given me for so many years and which have been contributed to continue having this hobby. Thank you very much to you and everyone who has always helped me, enjoying the “work” I do, giving suggestions and encouraging me to continue. Here I express my gratitude to you all. Thank you!!!

Hi Flut, thank you for the compliment but you fully deserve the praise, encouragement and donations. Now, although your skin is almost perfect I do make some small changes with each skin i.e. my own custom “league stage panel views” layout, clock font and having to tweak 2D shirt names and numbers. My question is, with this latest small update can I just load the panel/config changes to the previous skin and if so what are the relevant files ? Cheers !

Hi Bart. Thank you again 🙂

Regarding your question, the answer is yes because, I think, from Beta1 to Beta 1 updated I only changed the scoreboard when we play in bundesliga and the small caption who shows the player picture who scores or who receive a card. Thus you just have to go to the match folder of the skin and take the folder named comps and also the file match caption small panel.xml from de Beta 1 updated. If you want, you also can go to the game folder of the skin and take the intro panel.xml (but this is only a detail because it only change the name of the skin version in the introduction panel).

Please let me know if it works and if the small caption during the match is now changed.

Hi and thanks.

If you want to play without the backgrounds you can use the alt I included for that.

If you just want to have the filter with a little bit more opacity as default, plaese let me know what is the percentage you want to use as default and I can take a look.

100% echo this. Flut skin is epic nothing comes close to it. Using the skin makes the game far more enjoyable in my opinion. Any queries I've had Flut has always responds and provides answers to my questions 👏👏👏

Flut, this is the best skin - by far - in the whole game. 

 

But I need to ask you a question, since you are The Guy who will know if it can be done.

 

I hate that when you look at your manager screen that there is no graphical representation of your success. When you look at a club info screen you can see the trophies they have won listed there. Is there any way you can do something similar for the manager screen? A graphical view of the trophies a boss has won in his career? SI don't seem interested in doing this; I always suspected it would be up to the skinners.

Hi

The best I could do is the following - a “panel” showing the achievements organized by chronological order (from oldest to newest) and by club or nation (the size of the club corresponds to the quantity of the honours achieved)

Hi

Could you please put a screenshot? Thanks.

 

Here you go pal. First one is full screen 1920 x 1080 and zoomed out to 85%.

The second one is the same resolution but standard 100% (my eyes aren’t as good as they used to be!). As you can see the numbers are all a mess. I suppose personally I would just prefer perhaps club and country badges to the right, with picture like I have of stadium in the background.

 

Quite often when the player has a long-ish surname it just says things like instead of Wagstaff it shows Wafsta … which is a little annoying. This isn’t to take away from this brilliant skin though. Just a little thing. Many thanks
