The Material Skin is ready for you again this year!

 

It's based on the colors of the skin created for previous editions of the game, with the addition of a couple of custom backgrounds. For now, this version is based on the game still in beta, so there may be structural issues unrelated to the skin.

 

I hope you like it, and if you'd like to support my work, I'd be very grateful. 🙂

 

If you'd like information on how to change any colors, DM me and I'll try to help you as much as I can. 🙂

 

Cheers

 

To use the default attribute colors go to preferences -> details -> audio and video and choose preset 3 on "player attributes"

 

Thanks to Darkside for the default skin and to all the other mods for their contributions to the community!

Yes but change other things like for example if you compare the screenshot posted here of the tactics screen and you will notice some differences

 

The grass on the tactics screen is blue like in your screenshot pics. I did do the upload bundle before I changed attributes although i don't know if that worked.

Also the sub section above the pitch? Because the pitch blue works also with the file reset because the colour is in another file

See attached picture. It looks like this but I changed the attributes back to yellow for medium and green for high.

I don't understand, you're right too. It doesn't appear to be there either. But when I open the game, it's 240 fps, and when I load the game, it's 60 fps, then it's 30-40 fps in-game. Maybe it's just me, I don't know. I'll try uploading the file again.

 

What camera angle you using, looks loads better than the one I'm using?

Exactly the same.

 

This is your screenshots

 

 

This is mine
 

 

As you look the green part that I marked with arrows, are not in my screenshot.. they reappeared in yours because you used the tool to change the color of the attributes which reset the file with some of my changes (including removing those green parts)

You have also other reset like for example when you selected a message in inbox the message is hightlighted purple instead of aquamarine

I hope I was clear 🙂

Aha, you're right. Well, I'm quite happy with it the way it is right now anyway, but hopefully there will be more options later on to customize everything yourself with backgrounds and colours.

For Mac users experiencing crashes or other issues, I recommend restoring the "ui-tactics_assets_all" and "ui-widgets_assets_all" files, restoring the original ones and replacing the others present in the skin you've downloaded or need to download.

For those who no longer have the original files, it's best to run the "Verify Integrity of Game Files" command from "Settings->Installed Files" on Steam to restore the original files. Then, replace them with the skin's files, except for "ui-tactics_assets_all" and "ui-widgets_assets_all."

It happens also to me..but I think is a bug of the game

Edit: i see a person who not have this bug and use my skin…so i must investigate why it happens but I think is a random bug

There is a Korean tool that allows you to change the attribute values ​​quite easily. Unfortunately, you can't do it from the skin. If you need it, write me in dm

yes bro! i need it!

Unfortunately with the update that tool not working more because they changed the way they handle attribute colors..you have to wait for them to modify the tool if they ever do it
