Dear all

This is FLUTSKIN Version 8.0 for FM23!!

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 β€œRound country flags” and his great collaboration in the β€œcountry locator maps”, to NUNO KOPIO for the β€œSquare shiny flags” I included as alt files (for using as an alternative to the β€œRound 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. 

In FlutSkin you can find so many changes comparing to the default skin that I can’t present all of them here. I suggest you to go through the panels in order to see with your eyes all the changes!!

The pack includes many alt files for customize the skin (please read the read me file included in the pack) and several tutorials: 1) how should be the configs for the stadiums packs; 2) how can you adjust the size and the place of the kit number in player overview panel; 3) how can you do the 2D kits adapted for Flutskin. BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS OR REQUESTS, PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THE ALT FOLDERS AND ALSO AT THE READ ME AND TUTORIAL FILES!!

 

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

 

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

 

Important note regarding TV LOGOS:
Although the default tv logo is the one I use, of course you can easily change it; for that you just have to go to skin/graphics/icons/tv logos. In that folder there is a alt folder with many TV logos. You just have to replace the tv logo.png and the tv [email protected] for that one you want. Of course you should rename the new logos as tv logo and tv logo@2x. You also can use other logos made by you. The procedure to use them is exactly the same. However, I should remember that yo should use logos with the right height. For tv logo you should use 25px and for the @2x you should use 50px.


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 FM23[/b]
Download and extract the .zip file (using either 7-Zip for Windows or The Unarchiver for Mac).

Place the "fm2023flutskin_dark" folder here: 
Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2023\skins

[*] Create the folder "skins" if it doesn't exist.
[*] Start FM23 and go to Preferences screen and then into the Interface tab.
[*] You should see FM 2023 Flut Skin dark - 8.0 as an option in the skin drop down of the Overview box. 
[*] Hit the Confirm button.


Please note this skin is provided as is. It has nothing to do with Sports Interactive or SEGA and won't be supported by them.

Hello… 

 

A simple question (I hope)

 

During a match, Id like to add in a β€œcondition” column to the stats.

 

At the moment, the only way to see everyones condition is to look along horizontally across the bottom. I fnd this really hard to do at a glance, so I need to keep checking β€œsubs” to get this info.

 

Is there a way for me to edit the xml file for the stats (panel 2) under β€œgeneral info”.

 

Or perhaps I am missing a tab that already has that (I couldnt see one…)

 

Many thanks, dude!

Hi

 

Could you please show me a screenshot explaining exactly waht you want? thanks.

Thanks.

Regarding your question I included in the skin pack a .pdf file explaining how you can adjust the kit numer/name. The file have the name β€œChanging the size and place of kit number and kit name”

Hi

 

you should use the front kits adapted for flutskin.

You can download the pack here in sourtitoutsi:

 

2D Kits 22/23 for Flutskin - Titlebar/Player Overview v.6.0 - FC 12 Kits Forum - FM23 - Football Manager 2023 (sortitoutsi.net)

 

Hi and thanks for your reply. I alredy gave this a try not long ago, but the issue i've found is that the kit back is still from my team instead of the players current team. Here is a screenshot with an example:

It is the size of your small flags that are to big. Try adjusting the the size of your small flags to 25x11 πŸ‘

Hi Bielsa

 

Is exactly as Qvordrup said: you need the flags with 25x11. The skin don't have the small flags included. Thus that flags are in your graphics folder of the game. However, if you want, you can use the pack I use. Here is that pack (place it in the graphics folder of the game, inside the folder logos.

Hi. In meantime I have changed that panel (but after release the last version of the skin). Thus, use this file (place it in panels/player folder and overwrite the original one)

Hi Flut, 

 

Great skin! 

 

I have a question however, I have tried to change the attribute color within the preferences, but this doesnt seem to apply to the player screen, is this something that cannot be done?

Hi and thanks.

You should change the attributes background colours in the settings.xml, in the following code

 

  <!-- background attribute box colours Flut FM23--> 
 <colour name="unknown attribute background" red="146" green="82" blue="143"/> 
  <colour name="low attribute background"  red="244" green="152" blue="152"/>
  <colour name="normal attribute background" red="251" green="250" blue="115"/>
      <colour name="good attribute background" red="195" green="242" blue="150"/>
 <colour name="excellent attribute background" red="63" green="229" blue="70"/>

 

Don't forget to clear the cache and reload the game.

I was going to say FUT Card + Stadium but i just found out that the number and name are showed correctly in other options so i will just use one of those, thank you anyways ^^ 

Sorry if i ask too much but is it possible to swap the stadium pics from loading screen with city pics? Thanks πŸ™‚

Nice Idea, Yavin. Would it also be possible if you (flut) set the calendar lower to show city image and stadium image?

  • If you want to use the press background I included in the skin, it should work properly if you didn't change anything in the skin.
  • If you want to use your own image, go to graphics/backgrounds and replace the file press.jpg 
  • If you want to use the default, go to client object browser.xml and remove the following code, clear the cache, exit the agme and reload it.

 

    <widget class="picture" id="prCN" file="backgrounds/press" scale_picture="true" keep_aspect_ratio="false">
       <attachment class="test_multiple_globals_attachment" default_value="false">
           <list id="get_properties">
               <record get_property="section" test_mode="equal" value="PprC" skip_if_null="false"/>
           </list>
           <integer id="set_property" value="Shwn"/>

Now that you said it i just remembered i deleted the press.jpg file  cause i didn't like it and prefered the default one, but it didn't work cause i had to remove that code πŸ™‚

 

It was a couple months ago and i actually forgot about your skin's default press conference background, sorry for the confusion and thanks one more time, you are my hero ^^

I appreciate the reply! See attached image, sorry for the messed up attribute colours etc., I was experimenting with different skins and settings when I took it, but the problem remains with everything set up correctly as in the instructions (4K, 200% scaling in Windows, or 1080p, sidebar icons only, cache cleared, skin reloaded, no other skins in skins folder etc.).

It's only a small issue, no worries if it can't be fixed or it's just a problem on my end! I imagine it's a resolution or scaling issue, but I tried a lot of different combinations there.

Hi

 

Regarding the β€œproblem” in the left panel, that happens because you don't have the ingame editor of the game. In fact that panel shows a lot of hidden information which only can be displyaed if we have the IGE.

The second problem you can try to fix it. Open the player additional attributes panel.xml and change 

 

<layout class="arrange_vertical_attachment" alignment="top" layout="23, 23,3,23,3,23,3,-1,3,40,1,-5" offset="0" gap="2"/>

 

for

 

<layout class="arrange_vertical_attachment" alignment="top" layout="23, 23,3,23,3,23,3,-1,3,50,1,-5" offset="0" gap="2"/>
