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.

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

 

  • New Loading Game

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 “team squad” 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 “final” 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  

  • “New” Instant Result panel

 

 

IMPORTANT: 
Please, before making requests or asking for something, look at the alts and read the “read me” 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.

Hello, everyone.

 

I am having some minor display issues.

Where can I find the files to fix my problems ?

Thank you in advance for any help.

 

For image 4, I would also like to know which files are responsible for the window that opens with the instructions. 

 

Kind regards

Hello everyone. I definitely don’t like FM26. So, although much less frequently, I’ve gone back to FM24 and to my FLUTSkin. In the meantime, Rosek (thank you, my friend) sent me an XML file that allowed increasing the size of part of the “Dialogue popups”, namely the News and Instant Result ones. So, I included that file in the skin and tweaked the Instant Result panel, increasing the size of the kits and adding a bit more information (for example, the image of the stadium where the match took place). Based on that, I decided to release Version 10 of the Flutskin for FM24. It was just a small add‑on, but I hope you like it. 

A hug to you all, and I’m sorry if I’ve practically stopped providing support for the skin.
 

PS: thank you all for your kind posts here in the thread! Thank you DazS8 and Evil-Muffin7 for continuing to maintain the thread “FC'12 Style 2D Kits Seasons 23/26 for Flutskin - Titlebar/Player Overview Pack”. You are fantastic!!

Hello, everyone. Here's a little image to show the small change I've made.
For the blue icon, I haven't yet decided which icon to use to correctly represent the average number of viewers...
But it's a good start.

See you later, friends.

Olá amigo. Sempre fui um grande admirador das tuas Peles. Eu agora uso o FM 26. Mas já tentei de todas as maneiras para instalar: Tenho a pasta do StandAlone Windows 64, mas não consigo que me apareça para substituir os ficheiros. Já criei uma pasta nos Graphics (Skins) e carrego para lá  (alts _FLUTSKIN_FM24_10.0 e fm2024flutskin_dark). Não dá resultados nenhuns. Sinceramente preciso da tua ajuda. Como fazer mesmo? Abri todas as pastas do download. Copiei para o StandAlone Windows 64, mas ao carregar o jogo não dá nada. Por favor ajuda. Ou será que só dá para o FM24?? Obrigado e continua com o bom trabalho. Abraço

MY FIRST FM26 COMMENT

Well... unfortunately, we waited two years (!) for the new version of FM, and it's a disappointment. 

In my humble opinion, the only real improvements are in the game engine (I liked the players' movements, which are more realistic and have more technical details), the idea of two tactics (with and without the ball) and dynamic TV. 

 

The graphics were a complete disappointment. It's not attractive, full of bugs, confusing, ridiculously small boxes with too much information, too many pop-ups, a ridiculous scoreboard, as well as the pop-up that appears when there are goals and many, many more things that are wrong, uninteresting and meaningless... The inability to reload the skin/game without having to exit and re-enter the game when we did a change in the graphics folders is a shame. 

 

The inability to customise skins is an affront to the FM community! 

 

And the logos bugs (many don't appear because of the already reported conflict) make me wonder what kind of shitty testing was done. 

 

Sometimes I wonder what leads SI not to consider the feedback that FM fans have reported and suggested over the years. 

Why not ‘dialogue’ with reference sites (such as Sortitoutsi or FMScout) about things that are mentioned every year by FM fans and would improve the game and immersion in it? 

Now they've changed ‘everything’ and ‘ruined everything’! 

And anyone who, in the future, if possible, dedicates themselves to improving the graphics (skins) will certainly have a Herculean task ahead of them (and it remains to be seen whether they have radically changed the code itself...). 

 

For my part, I don't think I'll be able to take on this task - the years are weighing on me and relearning everything from scratch doesn't appeal to me, and I don't know if I have the knowledge to do so (as I've always said, I'm not an expert - I've learned about the code over the years, through experience and, often, through trial and error). 

 

We'll see... I can only hope that new skinners will emerge, with the willpower, energy and knowledge to help us make the game more interesting. 
 

It was good while it lasted! But I believe (at least for now) that FM26 closed a chapter of  my life, full of challenges and pleasure which helped me to deal and, by moments, to "forgot" the real daly problems of the life.  


A big hug to everyone who has always supported my work, which I have always done with enthusiasm for over ten years. Let's keep in touch here and all the best to you all!

 

Always yours

Flut

A small addition and two problems I need to solve, but I can't find a solution.
The first is that the players' photos are misaligned when I stretch the console, and I can't remember which file fixes this problem.

For the second, I would like to move the goal and assist icons to the right of the shirt and move the icons located to the left of it.

 

Thank you in advance for any help.

Hi everyone. 
For those who are interested, I’ve found a way to add custom icons next to the teams. I’ll share mine with you.
Just put it here:

I understand the response to the comment.... but you could have spared the question of who bought FM26 by calling them idiots.... because at most we are longtime fans (I buy and play Championship Manager) "ripped off" by a product that was supposed to be, but never was...
P.S. International football after the play-offs in April 26/04/2026 still nothing.

Hi all,

Hope you are well. Based on the XML sent to me by Rosek (thanks!), which were based on the work of Holzi (credits also for him), I’ve adapted it to create this “new” team talk panel. What do you think?

The player cards for those on the pitch are on the left, and the bench players are on the right (the columns have scrolling if needed). I changed the dimensions of the cards and included player condition/sharpness, the nation button, and the goal icon. The top bar uses the primary and secondary colours of the match competition.

What do you think about this squad depht panel (also based on a request of Rosek). It includes (additionally) the nation flag, age, PA, CA and feet. The header of the cards uses the primary colour of the club and the letterrs of position uses the secondary colour of the club.
