There should be another mirror now. If that works okay, then I'll update the other packs,

Have you read Why England Lose (or Soccernomics) by Simon Kuper and Stefan Szymanski? You might be able to swipe an idea from there.

Number some in a series of some more!

These will just be every now and then, when I fancy doing them, but if you've got a request (and you've got a high quality source image to go with it) then I'll give those a go too.

Patch 13.2.3 and the button still doesn't respond.... :-)


Inside steklo_x3\actions is a file called match actions.xml, delete it and reload the skin. I must have copied it across when I was making the skin and SI have changed the functionality since. I don't think I've changed it, so there's no need to keep it.

I have downloaded the stadium mod attachment on page 32 and extracted this to the normal skins folder (Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2013\Skins). In preferences the skin appears there as Steklo X3 with Stadium pics but when I select this the skin reverts back to the default one and had all the text in white.

Am I doing this correctly or have I missed something?


You need the base steklo_x3 skin. If you don't have that, the stadium mod version won't work.

is it work on mac??


As far as I know, yes.

Excellent work. First time Ive tried it and I loved it!

Just a quick question. The drop down menus that exist seem to be transparent and they kind of get difficult to read with the text or names under them if you know what I mean. Any way to fix this?

Also when I reverted to the default skin, I noticed all the player attributes went white and impossible to read. Is this normal?


To change the dropdowns means changing the images used to make them. The skin text issue is most likely because you're missing this file in your skins folder:

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/XznGaQxKAXEKDtSqVEpAjXN7s7FcB8RrHrXlDBZK.png

Just create a file called config.xml pop the following into it:

<record>
&lt;!-- resource manager options --&gt;
<boolean id="dont_scan" value="true"/>

&lt;!-- don't recurse the sub folders, as they are loaded separately in the settings manager --&gt;
<boolean id="dont_recurse" value="true"/>
</record>

Save, then reload the skin (if that doesn't work, try restarting FM)

I know this has been mentioned before but is there a way to show background pictures?

At the moment there is only the ones that come with the skin that are displayed. I like to use the stadium pictures for match day screens and also custom backgrounds for the teams.

SI fixed this issue and it works on the default skin so I was wondering if there was a way to get this working in this skin


Read the first post.

Mr Dixon are you going to do an update for this skin or is this the final version.....We know you are busy with your new job and driving but if you could let us all know it would be appreciated.Thanks


The only thing I'm planning to do is fix a bug that was mentioned recently, other than that it's done.

Match Feed Settings button still doesn't work.

I've used the default skin and the settings show. Its a problem unqiue to the steklo x3 skin.

Mhmmmmm.....


I know, I've not looked at it yet. It'll be in a panel I've changed, so I've got an older version of it and the changes made by SI aren't in it.

What browser are you using? It might be trying to open the file &#40;which would be daft, as it's a compressed file&#41;

Hi all,

Here I explain,

Would it be possible to have the number, name and jersey bottom left of the player skin FMC

and then insert it into the normal skin?

Yes, extract the contents of the 7z file into your steklo_x3 folder (make a backup first, just in case), overwriting anything it asks about, then reload the skin.

I can't decide if that's incredibly sad and/or just cool.


Would it help to know that the liquid in my cooling loop is the same colour as that picture?

After a couple of days faffing (after finally getting motivated to do FM stuff again) I think the only way to get background pics working remotely smoothly is without the background selector. Attached is an additional skin for both standard and FMC modes (you still need the big skins from the first post), just extract them into your skins folder as normal. I've included the first pic from the selector as the new 'default' pic, but you can change this to whatever you want, but the opacity selector is still there.

Cuz ppl here very like to complicate their lifes. But it's not all, some of these packs are available to download...

Eventually they will tell u to NOT download this.... thats how websites care about their users these days...


I must have missed the bit where you were paying me to do this.

The reason there's no superpack is because I haven't made enough packs to warrant it. These aren't quick to make, and need high quality images to look right.
