A wonderful piece. Shame it's not in English.

No worries, it's a learning curve for all of us. Any non-default skin can alter the presentation of FM or enhance areas but it simply cannot alter or correct errors that exist in the hard coding of the game.

You're welcome buddy. It's only right we support and contribute to your great work and in understanding a little of what you do. If we can help others and take some of the load off you, post-creation, so to speak, then it's a pleasure. It's also a great self-learning process for me. Cheers !

I'm not a skinner, so no doubt there's more than one answer to an issue and the man himself naturally knows just about all of them. My setting worked for me, I run at 4k with 125% zoom. Glad you got it sorted.

Monitor/Laptop screens will display differently, depending on the resolution and zoom level you play at. If you cannot drag any further to the left and fully align with the “notable events” panel, you need to go to your match folder and select “match in between highlights”, (save it first, I just right click it and make a zip file, making it easy to unzip and restore the original file if it goes wrong). Then scroll down to <!-- Notable Events, Match stats --> <container width="477"> and increase the value of the number displayed. It's somewhat experimental to get it spot on, so I'd suggest a number increase of around 100 above your current level, which should be a default of “342”. As you can see in my case it's quite a large number increase. Once you get it right, it will display a fully filled IBH screen every time you boot/reboot the game. As for your second issue are you aware that all the right hand screens are resizable, both vertically and horizontally ? Experiment to find a better compromise, although too much and you'll lose some detail in adjacent panels. Have fun !

After watching Premier League games I've tweaked the hi-vis Winter ball.

That has nothing to do with the flutskin, so why post it here ?

Sounds like you've cracked it, buddy. I should have mentioned the bit about replacing the default FC12 2D kits folder in the skin with the SS kit package but I wasn't sure at the time which kits you wanted to use. Give me a shout if have any other issues, I may be able to guide you. If not, they're a good bunch on this site who will cover it. Third party add-ons can be challenging at first if you're not a seasoned user. Enjoy the best FM yet and the flutskin, far and away THE one to have !
#759681 FM 2024 FLUT skin dark - 10.0

It appears you're using FC12 kits with the SS kit option activated from the skin “alts” folder. The flutskin default is FC12. I change it because I use and prefer SS kits.

You've done something wrong. Go over it again and check all folders/files are in the right place and check to see which folder is the default for FM to access in the game preferences.
#758088 3D Match Balls Pack for FM24
bartdude
It's a language thing I'm guessing buddy. You said similar regarding the audio commentary. It's “Can you”, which makes it a question and a request. “You can” is a statement. Yes, most balls can be made but make it a question and end it with “please”, so it doesn't sound like a demand.
#757974 3D Match Balls Pack for FM24

Yes I should have mentioned that but I'm still currently using the original config file.
#757973 3D Match Balls Pack for FM24

Firstly I try to find an image with even shading, then adjust colouring that's suitable for a decent showing within the limitations of FM. As we've seen with some recent random postings, some think any ball graphic makes for a good showing. It's partly the reason why I “retired”, due to the time required for a half decent presentation in the game. However, I'm ok with requests within my limits of English leagues, domestic cup competitions, European cup competitions and International competitions, providing a decent ball image is available. I use paint.net for making and editing, shading, colouration etc, it works well and it's free but like any good open source or free software, like flutskin, it's only fair to donate.

There's a couple of balls that I'm not keen on. The EPL is too blocky, it doesn't make for a good rolling ball. The FA Cup ball does not present well at all. I've redone both, Summer and Winter. Take your pick.

Not at the moment, it's a manual procedure whereby you have to select the correct ticket for the match you're about to play. Maybe there is a way, wait and see.
#757667 3D Match Balls Pack for FM24

In my ball pack I have two zip files, one for Summer ball and the other for the Winter ball. Both balls are named the same, so when the time is appropriate you simply right click the required ball zip file, select “Extract Here” and say yes to overwrite. You can do this whenever you decide, using the same procedure to overwrite the current ball. I suggested this procedure as a simple way to change the balls with just two clicks but I didn't get much positive feedback of the concept. JakDevlin has used a different procedure to solve the seasonal ball issue. I've found that doesn't always work how it should, as I tried something similar in the past. What I use works great for me and no changes need to be made to the config file. I also make my own Winter balls. Of course the pack rarely includes both seasonal balls because they need to have the same name, unless you use the alternative method mentioned, so you have to make one yourself, or hope someone does. Another option is to place the Winter ball in an “Alts” folder, then copy and paste when required. The only issue there would be the need for an “Alts2” folder containing the Summer ball in order to switch for Summer. However, there still an anomaly in FM whereby on occasion the 3d match ball would appear as solid yellow in Winter when using the ball pack. Even more weirdly, for me in FM24 the Winter ball for the EPL always appeared as solid yellow. I changed the Winter ball colour in FM settings from yellow to white and the correct ball then appeared ! It also reduced the occurrences of an all white ball instead. Whatever, we can't expect Si to sort the issue, as they don't entertain issues when third party files are used in their game. On a personal level I haven't updated the ball pack, due to the work involved for such a comprehensive range, especially seeking out a decent ball graphic to work with. Also, I only play in the English leagues, domestic cup competitions, European cup competitions and England internationals. JD has done a fine job with the latest pack, so he's the man right now.

Some good work there buddy. Quite a collection.

This was an occasional issue in FM23 but is a constant in FM24, mainly in the EPL, even when using the ball pack. I found if you change the Winter ball colour to white in the settings then an all white ball only rarely appears.

Hi flut, your skin is so good, there's very little that needs to “improve” for FM24. Thanks again for all your ongoing work.

I may be inspired, as FM24 is looking really good already. As for the balls all being in one place, it has been the case from the start. https://sortitoutsi.net/content/57182/3d-match-ball-update-02-12-2020

Yes, some small errors. As you say button colours and also noted date missing from post match page, otherwise no other differences found.

You won't see a balls folder in the game, you have to create one in “graphics/pictures”. The balls pack here is not an fmf file but a graphical one with a config file.

Not only is the flutskin more or less the same as in FM23 but also glad to report that kits, logos and balls all work well in FM24. Not installed the big files (faces and backgrounds) yet because I was impatient to play ! Hopefully they'll be fine. Loving FM24 so far, as it's not just the re-hash of FM23 that many cynics suggested it would be. FM25 will be awesome with the new match engine.

It's always a question of finding the best image to create a decent 3d match ball and most are not available when the manufacturers release a new ball. Also I only focus on British leagues and cup balls. As and when decent images appear, I will do some updates. However, I will wait until FM24 is released to see if the process changes and what, if any challenges it presents.
