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.

Awesome Flut, some very nice changes implemented!

 

 

As we had some mentioning of this before in the thread, here's for those who want to adjust the colour of the attribute boxes in the player profile:

 

 

Within the skin folder, go to settings\fm2024flutskin_dark settings.xml

 

Find the follwoing piece of code:

 

 <!-- background attribute box colours Flut FM23 -→
 

 <colour name="unknown attribute background" red="146" green="82" blue="143"/> 
  <colour name="low attribute background"  red="244" green="152" blue="152"/>
  <colour name="normal attribute background" red="251" green="250" blue="115"/>
      <colour name="good attribute background" red="195" green="242" blue="150"/>
 <colour name="excellent attribute background" red="63" green="229" blue="70"/> 

 

Now just adjust the colours to your personal references.

 

To give you an idea, here's what I changed, resulting in the picture above:

 

 <colour name="unknown attribute background" red="146" green="82" blue="143"/> 
  <colour name="low attribute background"  red="244" green="102" blue="102"/>
  <colour name="normal attribute background" red="221" green="221" blue="221"/>
      <colour name="good attribute background" red="251" green="250" blue="55"/>
 <colour name="excellent attribute background" red="63" green="229" blue="70"/>
 

Unknown attribute matters, when veiwing the profile of unscouted or only partially scouted players.

 

This also corresponds to the skin settings in the game preferences, when it comes to setting the values for low, normal, good, excellent.

As you can see, in my example setting “15” is classified as “Excellent” (green) while originally this starts at 16.

 

Hope that helps 🙂

Found some minor issue in the after-match report in the mail inbox

 

 

Player name is missing…

 

I quick-checked with an older version… Player name was there, might have happened when you added the xG under the result box…

 

Weird, it's now working for me - nevermind…

@flut 
Hi my friend, I have added lots of backgrounds to individual screens in the skin for my own personal use.
If you would though like to include them as an alt in a future skin release then please go ahead.

 

Each are easily identifiable and named in the skins backgrounds folder (included in the link with edited panels)
Also can easily be changed to suit each individuals taste.

 

 

Alt folder inclues lots of alternatives for each background screen plus a few extras.

Download here if wanted.

Includes a Graphics and panels folder to just drop into the skin.

They do change but most likely not where you are expecting them to do… They change in the hidden attributes for example.

 

But not on the Players Profile Attribute panel, as this is built differently. I have posted a quick guide earlier today on how you can change those ones 😉

Hi guys, thanks a lot for the great. work. Unfortunetaly I'm facing a problem and I don't know how to solve it.

A lot teams have the wrong Kits displayed in the player panel and as an Icon in the upper bar. I don't know what I have to do, to solve that.

Below i got few Screenshots.

 

I would appreciate any hints. 🙂

And maybe someone can tell me where I can change the position of the Founding Date?

Firstly, its nothing to do with the skin.

Its because there is no kit in the pack for that league at present,so the game has just added the national team kit of the league you play in, I have the same in my game.
Once there is a kit made that we can use for the 2D Kits for Flutskin FM 24 pack the issue will be resolved.
If its a major issue for you, you can remove the pack.

You can always remove the Nations folder from the pack also.

Founding date seems to be a resolution issue - works well for me
 

 

 

 

Also, the the Kit issue does not happen for me…

I have 2d Kit installed for Flut - plus sortitoutsi Standard Kits Megapack 2023.01 - so it obviously does relate to what kits you have installed or not.

This time it's me having a minor issue 🙂

 

I used the sidebar black version, which Flut includes in the skin package. To make it more smooth overall, I tried adjusting the titlebar as well. 

 

So I took the blueprint from the ALT 19 folder and changed from grey to black to adjust the titlebar. As you can see below, this work in general.

As some teams have black/white team clolours, you might end up with black font on black background, so I additionally added a blue_replacement="white" statement to the initial container entry

 

<container class="bordered_box" appearance="boxes/custom/interface/titlebar/paper" red_replacement="black" blue_replacement="white" navigation_container="true" >
 

 

However,  as you can see in the picture below - this only works partly. The calendar button - which also has some size issues, as the buttom is cut, as well as the search/ID field stays in teamcolor for the font.

 

Where do I need to change this and where can I adjust the size for the calendar entry to reduce it a bit?
