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 ā€œRound country flagsā€ and his great collaboration in the ā€œcountry locator mapsā€, to NUNO KOPIO for the ā€œSquare shiny flagsā€ I included as alt files (for using as an alternative to the ā€œRound country flagsā€) 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.

  • IDs and DoB included in inbox panels, for those people which we have not access (for example, agents, press officer, etc)
  • 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

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

Once again, my special thank you to darkside for his help and ideas for this skin version!

 

  • New Loading Game
  • ā€œNewā€ Contract Negotiation Panel

  • Caption Small – tweaked
  • Pre Match Briefing – tweaked
  • Country locator updated (thank you QVORDRUP!)
  • New alts and read me files included

 

FLUTSKIN FM24 V 7.0 

Once again, my special thank you to darkside for his help and ideas for this skin version!

 

  • New Panel included (Key Staff and Players, and team stats) as a tab in ā€œteam squadā€ panel
  • New match lineups panel (the 2 panels - lineups and table panels - were restyled entirely - it should be noted that I increased the time length for the lineups panel but if you want to see the second panel - with league and much more information - you should not click on the continue button; only after that second panel you should click on the continue button)
  • New Scoreboards included (two new bundesliga2 style scoreboards were included - thank you darkside!!)
  • Some tweaks here and there

 

FLUTSKIN FM24 V 8.0  

  • New TV LOGOS SELECTOR (now you can use the TV logo you want during a match; you can use the automatic selection, which automatically assigns the TV Logo of the competition you are playing, or the manual selection. There are more than 50 logos to choose from.
  • New match lineups panel for UEFA Champions League, Europa League and Conference League
  • Some tweaks here and there

 

The major change of this version results from teamwork. I had the idea of a TV logo selector, created it, made many XMLs for use and did the ā€œfinalā€ adjustments of the Logos grouping. But Darkside had the great idea of grouping the items and creating the auto-assignment scheme (following his idea). Finally, DazS8 provided tons of great logos, which I added to mine for use in the default version, and are also included in one of the alts provided in the skin pack! Thank you, Darkside and DazS8, my friends!

 

FLUTSKIN FM24 V 9.0  

  • New TV LOGOS included (now there are TV Logos from many more countries around the world)
  • New SCOREBOARDS included (now you have two scoreboards in Premier League style; the Portuguese Betclic League scoreboard and a version in that style but without the Betclic competition logo, so you can use it in any league)
  • All the team colour problems of the scoreboards in v 8.0 are now fixed!
  • In the social/news feed, the news images are now bigger (as requested by anpuerta5)
  • Some tweaks here and there, and bugs fixed

 

FLUTSKIN FM24 V 10.0  

  • ā€œNewā€ Instant Result panel

 

 

IMPORTANT: 
Please, before making requests or asking for something, look at the alts and read the ā€œread meā€ files (many requests will be avoided if you do so)

 

PLEASE NOTE:

  1. When you report bugs or present requests, please show screenshots showing what you are talking about.

I have done this for the Trophy on the Competition title bar and it's all fine.
To get the competition logo on the right of the Club overview title bar do I need to change ā€˜comp' in the config line below to ā€˜club’ @flut?

Ahh yes, ok all sorted now! Now I can't decide whether I want the competition logo there or the nation round flag - tough decision! šŸ™‚

Do you know why the trophies used to show as logo left by default, but now I had to do manually?

Yes. If you don't use the adapted logos/trophies, the trophy in the competition titlebar is shown. However, if you use the trophies adapted you will see two trophies pictures side by side (the ā€œnormalā€ and that one with the new config ). ThatĀ“s why for everything wwork well you should use the logos also adapted (them it shows the trophy and the comeptition logo on the top left, and the competition logo, in the top right.

 

This is how should be your competition titlebar

If you are using the metallic logo pack, then all you have to do is to copy the logos from the normal folder to the back right folder in the competitions folder. Same procedure for club logos copy from normal to back right. The trophies has to be copied from the trophies folder to back left of the competitions folder. Back left of nations is national home kits and back left of clubs is club home kits.

And remember only to copy logos and not configs  šŸ‘šŸ™‚

Goalkeeper kits cant be viewed like this…..never been able to my friend.
Unless you change your teams home kit into a gk kit instead but then all the rest of the team would then have gk kits

 

Ah okay, I just started playin FM recently.

Can you tell me something about the other point? Is it possible that the other kit is not displayed on the background and only the home kit is visible?

Thanks and br

Thanks.

That numbers are adjusted by the game and the fact that that 4, 11 and 6 are huge have nothing to do with the skin. According the number of substitutes, the game adjusts the font size.

You can reduce the font size (now is 28) in titlebar search panel.xml in the following line of the code:

 

 <widget class="text" id="sect" font="match report scoref" alignment="left, centre_y,can_scale"  size="28" style="bold" multiline="false" auto_size="horizontal" wants_mouse_events="false" dont_give_default_focus="true"

I tried this, but since there is also a jersey mode, the jerseys remain on the left side. How can we fix it? and It also created a problem.

For me the shift+r do nothing! I can't reload a skin (in FM24 from the beta version). Thus, I always have to change for default skin and return to the skin in order to look at some changes I did in the skin…which is boring!!!

Well, this is NOT necessary unless you ADD graphical elements… which usually DO require a skin reload. But then you can always use:

 

 

Works fine for me all the times…

 

However, as long as you're actually working on XML code, what helps tremendously is, putting a file named ā€œconfig.xmlā€ inot the ā€œpanels" subfolder of your skin.

it only needs to contain:

 

<record>

<!-- preload the stuff in this folder -->

<boolean id="preload" value="false"/>

<!-- cache the xml files in this folder -->

<boolean id="cache" value="false"/>

</record>

 

When there and the skin is loaded, all changes do directly apply by simply changing to a different panel and return to where you're currently working at.

 

This has only two exceptions:

  • graphic changes might NOT reflect
  • if you changes refenrences to files like
  • <container  class="client_object_viewer_selector_panel" file="player/hid scouting">
  • to a different target filename, it still does require a skin reload. Everything else should be directly visible when changed…

Thanks! And yes, I know what you told me. The problem is, indeed, when we are changing something in the cases you report…But, don't care about it. I asked only in order to know if was a SI bug or a bug in my game/pc. Thanks!!

You did something wrong. In fact, you are using the logos as left background logos, and not the kits as left background logos. That's why instead of kits you have logos. You should read the pdf I included in the pack regarding this stuff. The pdf is ā€œ2D kits adapted for Flutskin.pdfā€.

Isn't it possible to see the jerseys in the jersey section and the tournaments in the club logo section on the top left? Because both parts use background/left extension.
