Matt - Comments

Update your game.

Appreciate the feedback and ideas!
 

Will take a look at what other relevant panels are available.
 

It's not easy (or even possible sometimes) to add more data etc to tiles, but existing tiles could be placed on different screens. Will take a look.

In a match? are you using the scoreboards mod? This shouldn't have changed in the skin.

Will take a look a the attendance data.
Changing the screen flow is very likely not possible in the current state of skinning.

No plans to offer different versions or variations, it makes things far too complex to maintain.

The full league table means sacrificing the horizontal 2D panel, which I much prefer over the vertical version and value more over the league table. It's almost impossible to get this kind of layout to a point which suits everybody.

All skins will work alongside the stadiums.

CTRL 26 - 1.6 is now available.

This update mainly focuses on cleanup and consistency improvements, alongside a number of smaller UI fixes and tweaks, including a new Next Match widget in the navbar.

Fixed

• Average Rating - Fixed the colour scale so ratings keep consistent hues instead of shifting to mismatched colours.
• Budget Adjustment - Fixed modal styling for Budget Adjustment and similar modals.
• Radio Group - Made more subtle, consistent with the rest of the skin.
• Search Component - Fixed styling for the search box and results.
• SpeakTo - Additional Actions - Styling fixes for the additional-actions UI.

Added

• Next Match Widget - Added to navigation area.
• Player Status - Added themed status indicators for consistency with the rest of the skin.

Changed

• Navigation - Removed navigation icons and re-introduced the active section highlight.
• Meetings - Adjusted styling for elements used in Meetings and Press Conferences.
• Match Tile Layout - Re-introduced the horizontal 2D viewer layout.

Verify your game files and install the skin again.

To what issue specifically?

I would suggest just removing BepInEx and the plugins and re-install.

Not sure where you read this. There's nothing that can be done on a plugin level to run this natively on Mac, the loader (BepInEx) does not support it.

The only way to use this, or any BepInEx mods, is running the Windows version of the game on Mac - via Crossover or other solutions. This isn't something I will support on, as I have no experience doing this.

CTRL 26 - 1.5 is now available. A small update focused on fixes, refinements, and minor improvements across the UI.

Fixed:

• Player Tooltip - Fixed Key/Pref row highlighting plus added more info.
• Player Photos - Fixed/removed some styling on Player Photos on Report tiles.
• SpeakTo - Advice - Removed purple gradient and label.

Added:

• Match - Club Profile - Added more info to the tile layout.
• Scouting - Table Views - Added new table views for Recommended players and TransferRoom in results. Based on sas/SYC tables. ("Scout - Position" views)
• Icons - Fatigue - Added new icons for fatigue levels.

Changed:

• Table Rows - Added subtle background to alternate rows.
• My History - Refactored the layout of the My History card to reduce scrolling.
• Buttons - Secondary - Re-added border to give some visual definition.
• Icons - Stars - Increased clarity and sharpness on the star icons.
• Icons - Union - Changed attribute change icons to be more visible/solid.

The folder structure is included in the downloads, you don't need to be moving the .dll file independently.

This is the correct structure:
Football Manager 26/BepInEx/Plugins/ManagerPortrait
— /managers

------ manager.png
------ [id].png
— ManagerPortrait.dll

Not sure to be completely honest. The BepInEx logs may show you a unique ID which you can set as the filename for your online manager, assuming it's just using the manager.png now.

Yes. The description says what version of the game it works with.

All of the files/folders in the download need to be extracted to your game directory, not just the BepInEx folder.

Not sure what you mean. This plugin is only needed for your own manager, other staff can be replaced the usual way.

Not from me, no, it's not something I've looked into at all. 

It's a licensing thing in the game, I would expect this to be resolved in the next game update (or whenever the World Cup license is added).

Probably in /Content. Wherever fm.exe is, put the files there.

Does BepInEx open when you start the game?

"game folder" should be your installation folder, not your user data. eg. Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Football Manager 26
(I will add this to the description to make this clearer).

These are fine.

Should be there, wherever your fm.exe is located.

Wherever you have the game installed to.

Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 26 for example.

This is in the description.

As this runs via BepInEx, only Windows is supported. This may work via Crossover on macOS but this is not tested.

Whenever there is something I want to add/update. Nothing currently planned.

You can now get CTRL 26 through FM Skin Builder: download, apply to your game, and keep backups in one place. When a new version of the skin is released, the app will notify you so you can update and apply from there.

This is not a new CTRL skin version, just another way to install. Updates will still be uploaded here alongside this.

Don't think this is a skin issue.

Should be here - BepInEx\Plugins\FMScoreboards\config\team_shortnames.txt

Does it happen on all saves? Could you share a save it's happening in?

EDIT: Are you on the beta track in steam? or public version?

You may be on a slightly older version, but still 1.4. This was fixed a few hours after 1.4 release, but I didn't increment the version number as it was a very small fix for Mac only.

If you re-download and install the skin again, it should be fixed.

• Verify your Files.
• Start the game without the skin installed.
• Quit game and install the skin.

Not easily/quickly, no.

You'd need to build the skin from the source files, without applying the change via UABEA for the tactics portraits.

Not available anymore, since it doesn't work on the current game version.
