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 βRound country flagsβ and his great collaboration in the βcountry locator mapsβ, to NUNO KOPIO for the βSquare shiny flagsβ I included as alt files (for using as an alternative to the βRound country flagsβ) 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 canβt 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

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.

Mortiis

Hi everyone,
First of all, thank you for an amazing skin @flut! You're taking the game to another level.
I'm not sure this is the right thread for this, probably not. But I've been spent hours of trying to find a solution for this without any luck and I'm suprised that no one else seemed to wonder about this.
Now, in fm 24 there is now a third club text color in matches, wich is great! But regardless of wich color I editing in the IGE, most of the time it doesen't correspond in the games. Arsenals away kit for example, yellow and black obviosly. But then I want the blue color in the outline but it's turning black anyway.
Also, for example, light blue and white doesen't seems possible.
I hope you understand what I meant and I would be so grateful if someone knows what to do about this.
alien88216
Much appreciated! Tried this kits package and it helps! May I further ask how I can get the stadium background? I have loaded stadium background which is showing under club overview however it is not showing under player overview.
flut
Hi.
I included a read me file .pdf explaining how should be the configs for stadiums. Plaese read it. Is the read me 4 - Stadium CONFIGS Flutskin FM.
flut
Hi and thanks π
Regarding your question, I believe I understood it. However, I really don't know the answer. Sorryβ¦.Maybe you can post the question in the SI Forum.
flut
Hi.
You should edit the first line of code in the match score area panel.xml, increasing the width value.
In that code line you can find a comment explaining what you should do (I highlighted it below in red):
<panel width="1720" > <!-- Put here a value equal to your screen resolution minus 200 -->
Brolic Bronx
Again, thanks for the input. Keep kissing his peoples ass and adding nothing to the conversation.
bartdude
You get more ridiculous with every response. You should keep to the phrase βquit while you're behindβ, or maybe we'll put it to the vote ?
alien88216
Thanks for the guidance! I have read the file, however I think the file meant to teach me how to fix certain cases when the picture not shown am I right? My issue here is for all the clubs, the background of player overview is blank. I have added the background folder and it is showing under club overview session just not under player overview.
Could you please help further clarify? Thanks!
flut
Guys, please keep calm.
Brolic, your problem is solved which is the most relevant here. Indeed, you are not the only one asking questions before read the skin presentation and before read the notes I highlight and the βread meβ files. I know that, and for a long time ago I have to deal with it. And I keep dealing with that almost without complain. But is also true that it would be so better if the people spent a few minutes to read the things before asking...Anyway, I know that is a "price to pay" when we share a skin. Bartdude is one of the FlutSkin friends which many times helps me to answer the questions, and I am recognized for that. He never "kisses my ass" (and, I'm sorry but that expression was tottaly unnecessary). He always keep making suggestions for improve the skin and for more than ten years is the major contributor of my work (thank you again Bartdude!). So, please, stop this discussion without sense.
And enjoy the skin π
flut
For the stadium be displayed behind the player box, you should choose βplayer flut stadiumβ in the drop down arrow on the top right of the box (near the back kit) and you should have a stadiums pack with the config like the following (using the club ID).
Example of CONFIG with Club ID:
<record from="2062002129" to="graphics/pictures/team/2062002129/background"/>
kfnielsen
Hi Flut
Wich panel controls this picture?
I want the boxes around the attributes (numbers) to be gone?
alien88216
really appreciated and sorry for being a bit back and forth! However, I think thats what I have done. I have downloaded the pack and added to praphics under backgrounds and under team folder β¦ the picture is showing in home manager background, inbox background, and etc, but only not for player overview
flut
Hi Kfnielsen
Try to remove the player attributes panel for scouting centre.xml (placed in the player folder of the skin). Don't forget to reload the game.
flut
Please open each one of the configs in those two folders, copy one of the lines and place here.
alien88216
record from="images/764" to="graphics/pictures/team/764/background"/
Pls see above. Here is what I have done 1/ created a folder under graphics called team and place the pack under this folder, 2/ changed βstadiumβ to βteam" using notepad++
flut
764 is the ID of what? And why you include βimagesβ before?
alien88216
764 is just an example / a club ID ⦠I dont know why when I load the config in notepad++ it shows like that with images in front of the figure ⦠I read your file and there is no such word⦠shall I find way to get rid of images?
flut
First of all you should know if the IDs are correct. If you did as you told me, I suspect that is no correct. You told me that you changed βstadiumβ for βteamβ. Well, it seems you are using the stadium IDs and you should use the club IDs, not the Stadium IDs.
kfnielsen
That did the trick thanks Flut π
alien88216
Thanks β¦ think I did it wrong .. but may I ask how I can find what you put in the pdf file or what I should do in order to create such config?
Qvordrup
@flut FYI and @alien88216 You have download and used the stadiums from the backgrounds packs of this site. Here is how I see the problem. You have changed or moved things around. It is actually correct that the config line includes images. You can rename any folder but the images folder because the config points to that folder and it is important not to move the config (it is supposed to be outside the images folder). This is how it should look like inside any of the backgrounds/stadiums folders of the packs from this site (in your case the stadium insides and stadium backgrounds):
When you have a black screen like in your screenshot it is because you have a config somewhere that points to no picture.
For any further assistance on this please use the appropriate sub forum on the background/stadium page:
https://sortitoutsi.net/content/56743/sortitoutsi-backgrounds-megapack-technical-support-thread
flut
@Qvordrup . Thank you for your explanation. However, the link for the pack I placed here (and which I already removed considering your post) is a pack I used from years. I really don't know if I downloaded it from here or from other FM site, since, I reinforce, I have the pack from years. As I think you know I usually have careful with this kind of things. And even being a pack I have from many years ago, before place the link here, I went in the stadiums thread in order to know if there was there a pack with the config I use. I really couldn't find it. And that's why I decided to share it here for alien. Never was my intention to not respect the work of others and the forum dedicated to the stadiums pack. However, as I said above, I already removed my post.
Qvordrup
Don't worry it is really not a problem. I was only sharing the info with you ππ

@flut In the previous game, I used to be able to see actual ability in the profile page (like 141, 152, etc.)
In this game, I am seeing the generalized numbers (like 16, 18). What should I change to see the CA value?
alien88216
@flut @Qvordrup Thank you both for the help! Problem solved with your instructions. And really sorry for the back and forth discussions.

About this,
Aparently regardless wich colour each team has, the text comments in matches is always either black or white no matter what. I've tried to ask about this at SI forum but they does not seem interested by helping or answer quite frankly.
Is there any panels or config files in the skin regardning the text comments colour?
I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants the authentic colours in the matches. I'ts quite weird that SI did this suddenley after years of having the option to edit the colours you like.
