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 club overview panel (new staff pictures and information with rotating animation; new tab regarding “derbies”; layout tweaked).

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.

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”

Hey, guys!

 

I follow the instructions and extracted the skin on skins folder just like other skins that I've downloaded to test. But this one do not show on menu to select. Do you know something I could be doing wrong?

 

I have the same issue. No option to select this skin. Following all the same instructions and no problem on previous version of FM or this skin.

After extract the skin, open the folder. If you see inside another folder with the skin name, is that folder you should place directly in the skins folder of the game.

Hi Flut - yes, I have checked that. I have reset all the interface options, checked everything saved in the correct folders and followed all the install instructions. Still does not appear in the list of available skins. I have never had this issue before. Any other ideas?

Hi.

If you didn't change anything in the skin that panel should be as in the following screenshot.

However, if you want to go back to the default press background, go to client objet browser.xml and remove the following code

 

<!-- press conference background - covers entire screen - fundo das conferencias de imprensa-->
   <widget class="picture" id="prCN" file="backgrounds/press" scale_picture="true" keep_aspect_ratio="false">
       <attachment class="test_multiple_globals_attachment" default_value="false">
           <list id="get_properties">
               <record get_property="section" test_mode="equal" value="PprC" skip_if_null="false"/>
           </list>
           <integer id="set_property" value="Shwn"/>
       </attachment>
   </widget>

 

After removing the code, clear the cache, exit the game and reload it.

Yes, you are correct. If you use a background chosen in background selector, that background is over the background and, then, is the “new” background which is displayed…

Yep. If you want to use a press conference picture background and also using the background selector, but without cover the press background, you can use this file (remove the code in client object browser.xml I told you in my last comment and place this file in the human folder of the skin).

Still my favourite skin from year to year. Just one question I've probably asked before…If I have players weight set to stones how do I go about removing the heart from under the player picture & getting the weight to fit?it's obscured by the players age. Thanks

Yes, there is a way. However, as I told you before, I don't remember what are the xmls I changed to include the player faces. Sorry…

Hi i think it may be these panels. I deleted them but the game kept crashing when i went to the scouting player search screen. I tried to replace with the V8 files but it also kept crashing.

Hi my friend

Could you help me in changing the colour scheme of these blue colours (not a big blue fan) buttons and loading screen etc.

I used to know but my knowledge now is very limited.

Many thanks

I'm currently preparing for Releaseversion of FM24 and German-League-File - at which time I will add a small local Club into FM.

 

Someone created a nice set of shirts for me which I started testing to add to the game on a different already existing minor club.

 

All works fine so far, except two things:

 

Third/Alternative shirt is missing on club overview page. However, this might be due to the club missing a third alternative shirt in the database in the first place.

 

Second thing is, if I go to a player on that club, the club logo, and front side of the main shirt is displayed perfectly. 

However, I cannot make the backside of the shirt working with my new additons.

 

While the code for displaying the front of the shirt is something like:

 

<record from="newclub_front" to="graphics/pictures/club/121204/logo/background/left"/>

 

What does it require to correctly display the backside of the shirt - where Name and number will be added by the skin - as well?
