The mod breaks a staff tile.

Of these 3 tiles on my scrennshot, I can no longer click on the top one. Afaik, this is the only way to access the staff overview.

However, the tile is still highlighted when I hover over it with the mouse.

 

 

I highly doubt that… This mod is a part of (as being code included) of my and other skins. However, no issue at all… What is the case here is, you're using a bundle which was made for 26.1.2 - and you're game is on 26.1.3.

 

This will not work…
 

If I click the upper tile, it leads me to this…

Yeah, it all looks fine without those pics (no, haven't checked the passmaps, but I'm sure those are fine too 🙂 ). Thank you so much for your work

The pics were just stuck there from the previous version … after the file integrity check, they went poof. So now I can just enjoy the skin without them

 

Great, glad to hear!

 

Yeah, passmaps work fine. You should find them in the data-hub as well as in the 3d game. Just click through the tile showing the formation… It should be the 4th option…

Background doesn't change to default, if I remove the modified bundles

Neither does the Start Menu stuff and a few other things

I guess that's also part of the code change. Or I am doing something wrong.


EDIT: Problem solved after verifying files integrity

 

No. Besides the annoyance with the messages pics, I hadn't seen any issues yet. Everything should working fine, including the passmaps ;-)

Um … they seem to be still working.

I didn't place the tick on Messages in the builder … and yet … 

 

I know they do work - but they are too bright… That's because the layer which used to be on top of the pics have been removed…

“Due to some changes in SI code, the messages pictures are not replaced any longer.”

That's a shame. I did like those.
Hopefully someone can figure out a way to get them back.

Also, thank you for the new version (including the skinbuilder one)!

 

They do still work but they removed a layer - so I disliked the visual experience. Will try bringing them back for one of the next versions…

I've made skins for FM 22/23/24. These Club ones you keep posting are unbelievably bad objectively. People cant take any criticism these days. 

 

You have my attention. Let us know more about your achievements… They must be damn good, based on your comments…

Honestly i cant even say good effort because its not. Id recommend not posting these until you get good.

 

Usually I don't comment other creators skins, but let me drop a few thoughts here…

 

It's totally fine not liking a particular skin. That's why we - the skinners - are here and trying to offer a variety to the community, so all users can choose that skin, which comes closest to personal preferences. 

 

However I'm not sure if you have at least an idea how many effort lays within each of this available skins. No matter if that's the “older” ones by budwaiser and AlexMorak - as an example - who did all this with a horrible tool like uabae and had to redo EVERYTHING with each patch SI released - or the newer ones, like mine, MrTinis's or these one here,  based on Skinbuilder… Even though it's much more comfortable (and with more things possible to do) than doing it through uabea - there're still hundreds of hours into it, to find all the variables, classes, panels, layouts etc. to change the outfit of the game as we can do right now… Endless hours of try&error, restarting the game over and over and over…

 

So the least thing you as a (potential) user can do is, show some respect for all the work having been put into it. Some of us - me included btw - don't even play that horrible game… We do it for the fun of working on it and for YOU, the users - trying to provide you a better experience as the original game can do…

Quick update: 

 

Due to SI having announced a potential update being released tomorrow, I will defer the skin update to after the SI patch release. With that I want to verify that all is working as expected and bundle version will be based on latest original gamefiles. 

 

So if all goes well, you can expect the skin update either tomorrow evening or somewhere on Wednesday…

Yes, for now it's only the bundlefiles… Just copy them into your game directory, where the original bundlefiles are. Make sure to do a backup of the orirignal files before that…

I have now added Credits and what I meant by “MY TRANSPARENCY” was the transparency level I changed the tiles to.  I never claimed that I was the guy responsible for transparency in the UI Per se and im sure nobody whos looked at my posts thought this either.  This issue could of been addressed in a different manner by contacting me and explaining the way things are done in the community, instead of trying to villainise me and make me out to be dishonest. 

 

With all due respect, but it's the other way round. It could (or should or even must) have been addressed the other way round. If you use someone else work - mine in this case - to a wider margin, it's up to you to ask for approval BEFORE you even publish anything here. Having missed on that and initally putting some sloppy “credit” line into your posting (not even being able to separate between the author of the tool and me, as the skin creator) is not sufficient and usually will not bode too well within the community… So rather than complaining how “others” might have things done wrong, I'd rather suggest to reflect on your part of this and what you might need to improve in future…

No, just a leftover from trying to slowdown the prematch lineup animation :-)

Most likely, will remove it in the next version… and it's just a warning anyway, so no reason for concerns during build … ;-)

Due to a minor bug on portal overview during transfer deadline day, I uploaded the fixed versions. The portal will now switch to this look, during deadline day… :-)

 

When the deadline day ends, fixtures will come back…

HI mate, is it possible to make the team header one solid colour without transparency without affecting the messages tile ?

 

You can switch to teamcolor…

i've done that and the news page now its good, but still have some purple text and green text

 

 

I have nothing like that in my skin. You're using current 3.5 preview version? Did you apply it on a clean gamefiles installation?

im on stable version, i will try with beta then

 

Yeah, that's the requirement… usually each new beta provides extended functionality which I'm using in each new version of the skin. So it's required to use the latest beta (the version I suggest in update announcements) if you want it to work properly - unless you use the bundled version. In this case it doesn't matter…

Why are the letters green and the news background is glitchy ?
 

 

Tactics page some options are full purple, should i delete the skins folder and check file integrity to restore to default?

 

Are you on latest Skinbuilder beta version?

Football Manager 26 - Gyazo

 

Stages is missing after latest update. I know this i a preview version. But is it possible for to bring it back, or do I have to wait for your update???

 

Almost done with technically redoing the layouts (necessary to make dynamic and multi-layert tiles porperly working), also added some additional redone layouts and color finetunings. I expect to be ready for 3.5 release within th enext coule of days…

Btw, which stages is missing?
