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.

  • I would like to express my special gratitude to Darkside63, who challenged me for most of the new stuff in the skin and helped me to implement them, and also to DasZ8, for the help regarding Social Feed and for the inclusion of the new Alt with Backgrounds Adds. I also reinforce my gratitude to all the skin makers and specially those I refer in the new changes of this FlutSkin version.

  • New social feed panel (adapted from the work of DasZ8 and EVO).
  • New club overview panel (new staff pictures and information with rotating animation; new tab regarding “derbies”; layout tweaked).

FLUTSKIN FM24 V 4.0

  • Game processing tweaked (changed the stadium picture - from inside to outside)
  • Last eleven in Nation panel tweaked included - the front kits alternate with back kits)

  • 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

 

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.

 

You can donate by clicking here:
https://www.paypal.com/donate/?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=E9P4RXKNQBQBS
 

THE SKIN IS TOTALLY COMPATIBLE WITH 1920x1080 SCREEN RESOLUTION AND 4k (windows display settings 200%; game 100%).
YOU SHOULD USE IT IN FULL WINDOWS, ICONS ONLY


Resolution requirements:
This skin was made to work properly in 3840x2160 (4K with windows display settings 200%) and also 1920x1080 (1080p) full screen mode, sidebar icons only. As a result, some panels won’t work properly in other resolutions.

 

[b]How to add Flut Skin in FM24[/b]

For hidden attributes be displayed you should have the IGE (in game editor from SI) .

 

With your new update what will happen to everything we changed in the 2.0 version? removing the CA/PA from all the screens.

Should I copy all the amended files and put them in the new updated one?

If you are using the grey pack but didn't change tanything in this bar that is happens since the font is always white. Thus, if you want to change the colour of this bar, open the client object browser.xml and change it in the following code (now is defined as “primary”)

 

 <widget class="main_box" id="ACTb" appearance="boxes/custom/interface/tab bar/paper" red_replacement="primary"/>

 

Regarding you other question, the answer is yes, you can use the files you changed in the previous version of the skin.

Hi. The “news” are not the inbox but “Nieuws” panel. That panel you showed in your screenshot is the inbox panel 🙂

Place the colour name where is “primary”. If you don't want to use colours already known, you can create a rgb colour and give it a name. Include it in the settings.xml with a similar code of the following and do: red_replacement="the name of the colour you created"

 

<colour name="twitter" value="rgb(20,140,140)"/>

Everything is okay in my game. Maybe there is a conflict in your game. Clear de cache, exit the game, keep only this skin version in the skins folder of the game and reload it.

Hi

You can use a black background changing  newspage for 9 in the following code of competition news panel.xml and in news feed panel.xml

 

<widget class="picture" file="backgrounds/newspage" id="bgnd">
   <boolean id="scale_picture" value="true" />
   <boolean id="keep_aspect_ratio" value="false" />

Everything is working ok, sorry about that.

Last few questions.

 

Picture 1 is just a general question.

The panel numbers 1 to 6 in the player profile, can I re-name them, so panel 1 = attributes, panel 2 = stats, No big deal if not.

 

Picture 2:- In overview and general the club/team information seems squashed. Any idea how to resolve this?

Regarding the first question you just have to search for the current names in player overview panel.xml and changing it with the names you want use.

The second problem is due your screen resolution. Is not so easy to help you, since you should edit many code. However, you can try it. The xml is team container information overview panel club.xml

When I go to half zoom it looks fine however all the writing is extra extra small in the whole skin. So its not playable. got it at 1080p on 95% zoom and skin is perfect, just that section.

 

You got a list of sections I should look at and try and amend in - team container information overview panel club.xml?
