Yes, it's because it's licensed league…

Thanks :-)

Regarding the faces - not yet possible unfortunately… Maybe some day…

You can't hire me as I'm not offering any services ;-)

Oh, you did?

Ok, do the follwoing…

• restore Original Gamefiles
• goto “packages” folder within the skinbuilder skin
• delete the two “ui-fonts*” bundlefiles
• Apply your build again

Should fix it…

Use skinbuilder version and just deselect "fonts" in mapping

It might be an issue based on the 0.5.0-4 Beta…

• Make sure you have the current Beta 0.5.0-5 of Skin Builder
• Restore your gamefile to “Original”
• Go into the settings in Skin Builder and delete the backup files
• Repair your game installation via Steam/Gamepass
• Rebuild and Apply your skin

Issues might be fixed…  I can not reproduce the error but could image what might have happened.

Also ALWAYS make sure you only apply a skin via Skinbuilder if your gamefiles are original! Everything else will lead to an unhealthy mix and problems…

Preview for next version - all relevant overview pages replaced!

Portal

Squad

Recruitment

Matchday

Club

Additionally a new screen for in between highlights in 3D game

…stay tuned… :-)

Enable beta in the settings… Should elevate you too latest beta 0.5.0-5

Great, glad to hear. Once you get a bit more familiar with it - you will love it…

You will get into that mate… In the beginning it's some learning curve, but when you start slowly and doing it step-by-step, you will get a feel for it… For what you doing in your thread, Skin Builder would be a blessing for you. You would just need to create the pictures as you do, put them in the proper folder and adjust the mapping. Skin Builder will create the proper bundelfile(s) for you… It's worth a try ;-) 

Yes. As long as you go with the same size - you should be fine

Try this:
 

• repair your gamefiles 
• check into your users windows homedir -→ AppData -→ Roaming -→ io.fm.skinbuilder -→ backups
• delete the folder “originals” and the two files in there
• redo your build & apply

Glad you like it.

In general, sure it's doable. Most colors or classes which are in the skin are commented, so you get an idea what they actually do…. It's a tray & error approach tbh.

The best suggestion might be - onyl change one thing at a time and see what it does… 

Wrong assumption - it does work on Gamepass as well… :-)

Path to bundles is as follows:

c:\XboxGames\Football Manager 26\Content\fm_Data\StreamingAssets\aa\StandaloneWindows64\

Of course replace “C:\” with whatever drive your game is installed on…

Does work in game… 

The call for it is in PlayerAttributesLargeBlock.uxml … 

Version 2.5 is ready for release.

It will come with many small enhancements (dividers are back visually), new fonts and a new Portal Overview:

As annoucned already, it will contain easy color switching through config mapping. I will wait for the patch announced by SI for tomoorw and verify if all works as expected. Once that is verified, the update will be released.

As usual I will release it as Skin Builder skin, though I have realized that a lot of users might have issues working with the tool. For all those, I will release the blue base version as bundlefiles as well. Hope it helps those, struggling with the tool…

Check my last posting before this one…

I have no plans to drop the sharing of my skin as Skin Builder skin. 

However, as the tool gets more and more powerful and complex - it might easily overwhelm a lot of users, so currently I lean towards publishing both in future.

At least the base version, my blue theme, might be available as bundlepackage, while I continue to share the full version with the three base colors and potentially easy replacement of Teampictures as well.   

You have to replace the

graphics/backgrounds

graphics/Startmenu

graphics/FMmenu

Folders in the my skin in Skinbuilder …

Last night, a new beta version of Skin Builder had been released. It came with lots of new features and stuff which can be done to do even more amazing things, so we're getting closer to “skinning” as we were used to. 

However, it will get more complicated to understand and work with the tool. Based on this, I consider sharing my skin as a simple collection of bundlefiles in future alongside the Skin Builder Skin.

This would make it a lot easier for ppl to apply this to their games, without needig to get into and used to the tool.

Let me know what you think about that and based on your thoughts on this, I will make a decision…

Not really tbh - not facing similar issues. What you can try though… 

• Restore game to original files
• delete ALL bundles files in the “packages” folder of the skin - except the ui-tactics-assets_all.bundle (it's not causing it and you can still need it)
• do a fresh “build”
• when succeeded, “Apply to game”

Might fix it… Can you send a screenshot how mapping of config.json looks like?

Preview of upcoming Version 2.5

With the latest beta update of Skin Builder, we got a lot of new features and functionalities. Along going with this, there will be some major Changes to my Skin.

In future, there will only be one skin! This becomes possible as base colors are a selectable choice now:

This is possible, as it will be selectable in the config.json mapping:

Just select your prefered color and do the usual restore/build/apply cycle. 

Also, as seen in the Bayern screenshot above, main menu displayed with teamcolor is now a selectable option!

Pictures (backgrounds, Startmenu, FMmenu) will be provided in “Base Picture Set”, being identical for all base colors. 

Up from version 2.5, additional sets will be provided as “addons” and can be added to the skin:

You just need to deselect the base set and add a team. I will publish a teamset for Bayern München and 1.FC Kaiserlautern. There are no plans from my side to create or publish more teamsets. Feel free to do them on your and publish them to share with others - or get them from others which have done so. I consider creating an additional thread for those addons where maybe some Instructions on how to do so can be better discussed.

Also Fonts are now easily replacable and will be part of Version 2.5.

Of course, the wonderful new Playerprofile screen made by lotsgon is also included:

All the stuff you might be used to already (Adboards, Prematch lineups, message background pictures) are still part of the base skin as before.

Thanks to lotsgon for this wonderful tool and the stunning progress it has made in almost no time!

I still need to do some additonal stuff and some tweaks here and there, the usual finetuning, so no release date yet. I hope this to be within the next couple of days…

Hope you're looking forward to this - cheers! :-) 

Check my thread here… In the first posting there is a direct link to it.

…and just to give you an idea, this was done without much effort (forget about the colors though)

I'm a couple years older, tbh… :-)

Maybe just have a look into - it's way easier to understand then working with uabea…

This should be possible (not perfectly, but majorly) already with Skin Builder…

Glad to hear! Hopefully we find a solution for Mac in future as well…

Got an idea what might most likely cause it… Try the follwoing:

Within the tool, 

• restore the gamefiles to original
• move the ui-tactics-assets_all.bundle OUT of the packages folder within the skin
• do a new build
• apply to the game
   

This should most likely resolve your issue. Unfortunately the header in the tactics screen will revert back to the green outfit, but the rest should be ok… That's a compromise for now, hopefully this will be resolvable in future…
 

Hm, maybe some issue with crossover compatibility? I would suggest to join the discord and raise the issue. The author of skin builder is present there…
