It freezes on the required answer continue on mac and it won't go any further, but it's a cool skin

 

This is weird, as I have confirmation from the German Community, that the Macversion just works fine for them.

It does work on Mac.

Apologies for mentioning the wrong skin builder. I don't get a pop up on Mac Book

Nice skin

I think scrollable player profile is a bad idea

 

No problem. Use a skin not having it…

@Darkside63  can i put the files over the last version from your skin or do i have to set FM first to the original files? 

 

In theory it should be possible to copy them over but the safe way is always, reset original - then copy over… With that you will stay safe, even if there would be one file missing from one version to another one…

Thanx for this update butt i also have a problem with the player profile.   

It looks like this.

I did restore the skin and put the 4.1 in the right map.

 

This is weird, as I just tried in Dutch… Shwos like this for me:

 

 

What resolution you're on what what text size selected? I highly suggest using small… Standard MIGHT work but will make poor tile layouting in the game even worse… Pretty much nothing I can do from side side to remarkable improve that…

Speaking for myself, I only commented because I'm just starting to play the game seriously and it could be the skin. I decided to start playing with this skin; I didn't check if it was a game problem. But honestly, when people comment here, I think it's to try and improve things. You only do it if you want to, and although it's your personal preference when you share, I think you could accept our suggestions or even criticism. We appreciate you making the skin available, but I don't think anyone here has treated you badly or your work badly. Thank you.

 

Even though not my thread…

 

I think you could accept our suggestions or even criticism” - and that's were you are dead wrong. It's fairly easy - you don't like something? Feel free to make your own changes - the tool is available. And yes, that would be possible, at least for basic things like background replacements or potentially even layout changes.

However, that would require some effort needed to be put into, some basic learning how things work and understand them - something a lot of people obviously refuse nowadays. 

 

It was all there in the beginning, we shared our complete work as Skinbuilder templates, so pretty much all “secrets” had been open.

What happened? Within no time it was stolen, copy/pasted and sold as “new skin” of some of those people. So we stopped sharing it, as we don't support that someone just takes the work we have put hundreds of hours into and claim it being their work. Pretty much as a “proof of concept” eversince not much new skins have shown up, guess why…

 

So people coming into our threads and start “demanding” changes or masking it behind questions like "why this or that thing isn't in the skin” are tiring in the beginning and annyoing after a while… Because there might be one thing you don't see. It's not only here within a thread, it's in PM's, on X, in discord, or Patreon which some creators have.  So don't be surprised if sooner or later creators might just stop doing what we're doing…

 

But back to your “I think you could accept our suggestions or even criticism” - the answer is no. We don't need to do that… as Tini has said already, we do skins like WE (the creators) like them and gladly share them with the community. But that's about it…

Great Work and Skin, Thank You !

 

to clearify, one Question: you wrote:

 

"To install, do this:
………

  • Make sure you have an unmodded Game, as you will otherwise create an unhealthy mix of modded files and those from this skin"

 

unmodded Game

 = you did not talk about Files in Documents Folder, example Faces in graphics Folder, right?


You only mean with unmodded Game, that here: …\fm_Data\StreamingAssets\aa\StandaloneWindows64\

all Files have to be Original (289 Files) + then, only your 22 Files have to be put in. (copy/paste)

 

I ask, because, first, i added many Graphic Files into Documents Folder, and now, i want to test your Skin and read your Info Notes.

 

Cheers.

 

Correct. User-folder where all you're facepack/shirt/logo or whatever resides is no issue.

Your skin is, in my opinion, the most beautiful and practical. Is an adaptation for large font sizes planned ?

 

Unfortunately, this would be doomed to fail. 

 

As longs as poor spacing, poor tile-conten layout and non-existing adapative capabilities exist, there's no way to make that work properly.

Even in the original skin, there is an endless number of tiles, where lines are misplaced, text is cut off etc - and that on small or normal text size…

Hello, I don't know if it's a problem with the skin or the game itself, but here it is. When a player wins for their national team and we receive that information, a red ball appears along with the result. But in reality, they won the game. It gives the impression that they lost the game, and that's not what happened.
 

 

These are messed up by SI all over the place, potentially showing wrong… Not only for international Games but league games as well…

Unfortunately, there's a minor bug in inidividual training.

The Player part below is missing - most likely it was in the version before as well 😉 

 

This will be fixed in the next version. As a temporary workaround, you can use the action button in Playerprofile and do it from there...

Amazing skin! One of my favourites of this games cycle! If anything actually made me like the game a little more than I did before! Bonus point for also adding the one feature that NO OTHER SKIN has done which is the (SQUAD MINDSET TILE) do we know why this feature isn't within the standard menu's? and why no other skin makers have it incorporated into their skins? Keep up the amazing work!

 

Tbh, only SI could answer this question - or maybe not ;-) 
It's in the game and it shows different results in different saves. At worst, it might do nothing following out of that status. But even then, there would be no harm showing it. It would only be one more useless information . so why not :-)

Hi Dark :-)

Your work is fantastic!!!!! A huge thank you!!!!!

In individual training, why was the tile for positions known to the player removed? The field with colored circles (green, orange, yellow, etc.) is also missing. I find this information very useful in this area.

And in individual training, is there really no way to retrieve the key and secondary attributes colored according to the position being worked on?

And another question: is it possible to have a black background instead of an image?

 

1.) for space reasons - I might redo that page at a later point

2.) not sure, but see 1.) :-)

3.) I'm thinking about releasing a Skinbuilder “light” version, allowing to replace some Pictures and select your Prematch Lineup of choice

Unfortunately, the answer is no. 

 

The reason behind it is, that for various pages and popups, SI has provided different layouts for higher and lower resolutions. Those, I started to add (and cover a couple already) and redo them for lower res as well. Though, this is not a consistent concept in the game, so in the end it would require two different versions to cover those screens which only exist in one resolution version. 

 

This would lead to having to maintain two different versions of the same skin, which is just too much effort in the long run. So I will continue adding more screens for low-res over time, as it's a once and done thing and they will peacefully co-exist within one skin. Beyond that, sorry - it's just too much additional effort…

hi ive got to the point where im applying it to game on the builder and it says this [WARNING] \u26a0\ufe0f No config.json found - nothing will be processed!

what do i do?

 

It's a bundle version . so just apply it to your gamesfolder directly… Say thanks to the copy&paste guys stealing our work, that most of us do no longer publish skinbuilder versions…

I'm talking about the popup that opens when you click or hover over the "i" next to the player's name.

5 months post release the lack of skins was constantly holding me back from getting back into FM26, this skin certainly helps @MrTini23 

 

hopefully you and the other skinmeisters can collaberate and continually improve the experience

Hi Dark :-)
Thanks so much for this great work and the regular improvements!

I have a small request for improvement regarding the player view with the "i".

Do you think it would be possible to add the pros and cons?

Thanks

 

You mean the popups? In the regular playerprofile, I have added the pro/cons ;-)
