Dear all

This is FLUTSKIN FM24 

First of all 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”) to PMPOU for his great contribution with many tickets to customize the skin, to DAZS8 for his great work in the addons for Flutskin. I also thank you for the contributes made by NOLEAFWILEN and RICHBELL. 
 
If you already know FLUTSKIN from the last seasons you already know what you wil find. It should be noted that if you expect to find a different style of the FLUTSKIN you will be disappointed. If you like it as it is last year you will be satisfied since the FLUTSKIN for FM24 is like FLUTSKIN for FM23 (there are just small things changed after the final version of FLUTSKIN for FM23). 

In FlutSkin you can find so many changes comparing to the default skin that I can’t present all of them here  (you can see a part in the screenshots) . I suggest you to go through the panels in order to see with your eyes all the changes!! For now, the pack doesn't include alt files. However, if you wantm you can use the alts for FM23 since I believe almost of them work properly in this version.

 

You can download the 2D packs prepared for Flutskin (titlebar and player overview panel) here in sourtitoutsi. FC style kits https://sortitoutsi.net/content/44727/2d-kits-1819-for-flutskin-titlebarplayer-overview-v10 SS Kits style https://sortitoutsi.net/content/57825/ss-kits-as-logo-left-for-flut-skin

 

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 sortitoutsi Backgrounds Megapack includes player, competition and stadium backgrounds, as well as beautiful city images:  https://sortitoutsi.net/graphics/style/17/sortitoutsi-backgrounds-megapack

 

BETA 1 - VERSION - As the other FLUTSKINS this version includes: instant result (in tactics and during the match); citypics availability, home page, player page, club page, match inbetween highlights with many tabs for choosing, etc, etc.

 

THIS VERSION INCLUDES ALSO MANY ALT FILES. FOR USING THEM, PLEASE READ THE FILE read me for alt files.pdf.

All the reported bugs were fixed

A few teaks were done

 

PLEASE NOTE THAT 

  1. the citypics pack, the kits adapted for FLUTSKIN, Logos and "normal" 2D  kits are not included in the pack.
  2. AFTER EXTRACT THE SKIN FOLDER YOU SHOULD LOOK INSIDE THE FOLDER. THE FOLDER WITH THE SKIN NAME IS THAT ONE YOU SHOULD PLACE IN THE SKINS FOLDER
  3. IF YOU ARE PLAYING WITH THE PROPERLY RESOLUTION AND SIDEBAR ICONS ONLY  YOUR PANELS SHOULD BE DISPLAYED EXACTLY AS IN THE SCREENSHOTS. IF NOT, CONSIDER THAT THERE IS A CONFLICT WITH OTHER SKINS: CLEAR THE CACHE, KEEP ONLY THIS SKIN IN THE SKINS FOLDER OF THE GAME AND RELOAD THE GAME.

  • New operation of the TV Logo during a match (now you have different TV Logos, according different competitions; I included an alt folder with many TV Logos for replacing the default TV Logos included by those you want; the alt folder included was made by DAZS8)

FLUTSKIN FM24 V 2.0

Important recognitions regarding this version:

  • I would like to express my special gratitude to Darkside63, who challenged me for most of the new stuff in the skin and helped me to implement them, and also to DasZ8, for the help regarding Social Feed and for the inclusion of the new Alt with Backgrounds Adds. I also reinforce my gratitude to all the skin makers and specially those I refer in the new changes of this FlutSkin version.

 

Now, the changes in this version:

  • New social feed panel (adapted from the work of DasZ8 and EVO).
  • New club overview panel (new staff pictures and information with rotating animation; new tab regarding “derbies”; layout tweaked).
  • New button in titlebar - “Skin Support”-  with quick links for FLUTSKIN forums, donation, FLUTSKIN Essentials and other useful downloads (adapted from the work of GROOT in his ELECTRIC PANTHER Skin).

FLUTSKIN FM24 V 4.0

  • Game processing tweaked (changed the stadium picture - from inside to outside)
  • Last eleven in Nation panel tweaked included - the front kits alternate with back kits)
  • “New” Match team news panel (stadium inside picture included on the top letf of the panel, behind the match information; changed inside stadium picture for outside stadium picture on the middle right of the panel)

  • Some tweaks here and there and, as in the previous versions, I included a pack with many alt files for customize the skin according your taste

 

PLEASE NOTE:

  1. If the skin doesn’t have the same stuff as in the screenshots and you are playing with my recommended Resolution requirements, please consider to clear the cache, keep only this skin and this skin version in the skins folder of the game and reload the game.
  2. Before asking something, please look at the read me files. There are 7 read me files which I believe answer many questions regarding the skin.
  3. When you report bugs or present requests, please show screenshots showing what you are talking about.

 

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 donate by clicking here:

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


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.

This is awesome, I applied your suggestions and everything worked - as expected 🙂 
Thanks a lot for sharing all this information with us.

Of course, I also donated - it's not much but hope it helps somewhat…

 

 

Btw, for those who prefer to have their players on loan (in/out) in the original colours - like I do - simply go to “settings\fm2024flutskin_dark settings.xml”

 

and search for

 

<colour name="loan out" red="249" green="189" blue="124" /> <!-- on loan to other club -->
<colour name="loan in" red="155" green="249" blue="155"/>    <!-- on loan from other club -->

 

and change to

 

<colour name="loan out" value="purple 300" /> <!-- on loan to other club -->
<colour name="loan in" value="blue 300"/>    <!-- on loan from other club -->

 

You can do the same for players on trial in/out … Trial in should be something close to value="green 300"

 

Thanks for your donation. I really really appreciate it!!!

Many thanks! the %'s issue is now fixed, I think it had something to do with loading FM23 game and views. i replaced the view item from overall physical condition to “fitness and injuries” and it works.

 

Regarding gap for player/staff lists due to player image, I tried different changes, using the default views and adding/removing the photo option but the gap still exists. Is there a way to have it show like the FM default skin below?

The new adjusted colour scheme looks nice so far. However, I found one situation, which looks rather ugly 🙂

 

Can you probably adjust this as well?

Hi

You don't need to do anything. Just use the skin as I release and the player faces should be displayed. And as I already told you, fon't forget to keep only this skin in the skins folder, clear the cache, exit the game and reload it. I don't remember  anymore what are the xmls responsible for that lists (there are a few…).

You need to change zoom in game interface settings. probably 200% would be enough. And for me this is the biggest downside of this skin. Because I am playing on 32 monitor 4K. To get everything in proper size, without blank/black places, for example on stadion presentation before the game, i need to zoom to 200%. But then everything is ridiculously big, and a little bit funny. I would like to have possibilities to play in 150% zoom, even less, but then everything is mixed, nothing on proper places.

Hi stefanovski, Blizniak and MrDonNelson: I have to do the same recommendation I already did to stefanovski. In my game all that thongs you refer are okay. So, it should be some kind of conflict in your game. Keep only this skin in the skins folder of the game, clear the cache, exit the game and reload it.

That is due to your screen resolution. Try to use one of the following packs (they are alts for lower resolutions).

Thanks - i've done all that but nothing is changing. i just want to see it without photos and gaps like the default skin and V8 FM23 as it's too hard to sift through the shortlists with only a handful of players showing on screen instead of the 20++ without the gap. Hope there is a way. thanks.

I like this news inbox very much. i think it's just missing the scout's rating (A, B, C etc…). it is also missing in the recruitment focus screens and scouting centre (there should be a column for the scout recommendation/rating and CA, PA).

If you want to keep playing with 100%, try the following: go to match score area panel.xml and in the first line of the code change the value. As you can see, now is 1720, which is for 1920 resolution. For your screen resolution put the following value: [your screen resolution - 200]

Okay. Regarding the screenshot you show, is the recruitment focus views.xml. For go back to the deffault view, just remove that file from the skin. Don't forget that you should reload the game after remove the file. I also included the recommendation in the list (the code was changed, thats why it was not displayed)

Go to match inbetween highlights panel.xml and increase the value in lines 8, 94 and 95  (use trial and error method). Don't forget that, that panel should be dragged with the mouse, to the left in order to be “open”
