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.

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.

No mate, as I said you can only have the four outside the folders working at once, the other folders were just for me to store the correct tv logs for each country rather than hunting for them every time I did a different save.

 

So the four that will be in the game - how does the game decide which logo is used for each match?

Thats why the match title bar panel must be swapped with the one in my comps folder, that what controls the tv logos but I need to test with all these other panels in there now mate, give me a few minutes.
I will edit fluts original files and send that to you when tested.

Ok, tested with the new default flut panels, I have edited them to show the tv logos and tested three of them in my one save game.
tv (league game) euro (champ league game) and bund (watched a bundesliga game)

You could in theory edit the four euro comps to have a different tv logo on each comp by editing the name highlighted and naming another logo, then placing in usual place.

Thank you! So, if say I have a save with a Premier League team, will the league matches show the logo the EFL logo or the TV logo? And then European matches will show the Euro logo? And I could add a fourth logo that would show if say I watched an Italian game and I had the Italian TV logo set.

 

What logo would show if I watched a game in another random league, say France?

Bloody hell man….lol
No mate you are making in this way more complicated than it needs to be. 


If you have a Prem team save or even any League game the TV one will show, if you play in Carabao cup the EFL one will show, then if you play in Europe the Euro one will show, if you happen to attend a Bundesliga match to scout a player then the BUND one will show.
There is no capability to add other leagues along side the four you are using in one save game! unless you manually change the TV one.

 

I have things to do now mate.

Ok, sorry mate!

So, just so I know I got this right…
 

Whatever is set as TV Logo will show in any league game?

Euro logo will show in any European competition?
EFL logo will show in any Football League game and also Carabao Cup and EFL Trophy?

Bund logo will only show in Bundesliga games?

Maybe but I have no idea how, thats beyond my capabilities.

 

Years ago there was actually a Tv logo selector tool in skins including Flut skin but no longer used by anyone.

 

Maybe would get it back if we ask nicely…..pretty please @flut

@flut - thanks for the amazing skin yet again. One question please. I have included extra tickets for the pre-match screen and I have the Serie A one showing in the picture below.

Is there any way to edit the game so it automatically selects the correct ticket for the correct competition? e.g. Champions' League ticket for European games and Serie A ticket for league games?

Not at the moment, it's a manual procedure whereby you have to select the correct ticket for the match you're about to play. Maybe there is a way, wait and see.

Hello. It might be just me, but when I display match results for Serie A or La Liga, data such as scorers and assists is displayed on the right side, but I'm wondering why it's not displayed when it's a CL or cup match. If you were to give me one, could you tell me what it is

hi bartdude and day tripper: good news! I found a way to do that. In the next release we can choose a ticket for our national league (choosing in the tab, as it is now) but…for Licensed leagues (i.e., EFL, Bundesliga 1, and the European cups) the corresponding ticket will be displayed 🙂

Cheers and thank you for made me think in that change!!
