Hi, is it possible to move shirts a little to the side, that i can see full player name?

 

 

You need to look in the alt folder that comes with the skin, instructions on how to do this and other useful files are in there.
 Also you have the wrong default kit behind my friend, you need the SS kits one, you are using the FC12 that comes by default with the skin.

How does it look like when adjusted?

 

Only changing colour, I have a green theme on the skin for personal use.
Wanted the dark green but had to settle for  amore subtle change

Hi Dazs8

I tried to find where is the code responsible for that, without success. I could find the code for that boxes. However not regarding the colour (maybe is hard coded…).  I noticed that that colour is the same in the default skin.

The code is in process calendar day panel.xml and is:

 

 <widget class="table" id="TraT" layout="-1"  mode="fill_rows" height="86" row_spacing="2" hidden="true">
  <boolean id="auto_size_rows" value="true"/>
  <string id="fixed_size_rows" value="false"/>
  <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="horizontal" inset="2"/>
  <!-- Filled in code -->
 </widget>

 

Found how to change it, had to add into the settings file the following…
 <colour name="match day training calendar colour" red="10" green="195" blue="195"/>
For some reason that does both the calendar and the box in processing/

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.

Mr. Flute This is the current La Liga logo with Da Zone.

 

Here it is in white also for on match screen, (not sure if this is a white one like nost others though) but its here anyway.
Also made it in the darker version to fit the skin also.

Maybe but I have no idea how, thats beyond my capabilities.

 

Years ago there was actually a Tv logo selector tool in skins including Flut skin but no longer used by anyone.

 

Maybe would get it back if we ask nicely…..pretty please @flut

Ok, sorry mate!

So, just so I know I got this right…
 

Whatever is set as TV Logo will show in any league game?

Euro logo will show in any European competition?
EFL logo will show in any Football League game and also Carabao Cup and EFL Trophy?

Bund logo will only show in Bundesliga games?
 

 

PERFECT!! 

 

@flut 
I apologize for hijacking the skin thread with this subject.

Thank you! So, if say I have a save with a Premier League team, will the league matches show the logo the EFL logo or the TV logo? And then European matches will show the Euro logo? And I could add a fourth logo that would show if say I watched an Italian game and I had the Italian TV logo set.

 

What logo would show if I watched a game in another random league, say France?

 

Bloody hell man….lol
No mate you are making in this way more complicated than it needs to be. 


If you have a Prem team save or even any League game the TV one will show, if you play in Carabao cup the EFL one will show, then if you play in Europe the Euro one will show, if you happen to attend a Bundesliga match to scout a player then the BUND one will show.
There is no capability to add other leagues along side the four you are using in one save game! unless you manually change the TV one.

 

I have things to do now mate.

So the four that will be in the game - how does the game decide which logo is used for each match? 

 

Ok, tested with the new default flut panels, I have edited them to show the tv logos and tested three of them in my one save game.
tv (league game) euro (champ league game) and bund (watched a bundesliga game)

You could in theory edit the four euro comps to have a different tv logo on each comp by editing the name highlighted and naming another logo, then placing in usual place.

Thats why the match title bar panel must be swapped with the one in my comps folder, that what controls the tv logos but I need to test with all these other panels in there now mate, give me a few minutes.
I will edit fluts original files and send that to you when tested.

Also @DazS8 your read me file says to delete the comp folder completely in the match panels folder and replace with yours?

 

However your folders only have one file in, like so:

 

Whereas the default ones in Flut's folders have multiple files, like so:

 

Will it not mess things up if all these files are deleted and only replaced by the one in your folder?

 

Try it without deleting mate to see if it works.

I have a totally different scoreboard as I just remembered so your right it may cause an issue, just give it a try.

Always back up your files just in case  an issue arrises, its trial and error sometimes finding what works and what doessnt

I have not tried myself with all these new files in there, there only used to be about three originally, I will test it myself also.

Sorry, I'm not quite sure what you mean? I've copied over some of the files that you uploaded and my tv logos folder now looks like this…
 

 

What will this show in the game? Does it mean Italian games will have Italian TV logos, La Liga will have Spanish TV logos, etc?
Is there no config file to edit or place somewhere?

 

No mate, as I said you can only have the four outside the folders working at once, the other folders were just for me to store the correct tv logs for each country rather than hunting for them every time I did a different save.

I know mate. This is not the issue because otherwise it wouldn't show up at all.

 

It's only a delay at the start of the game. Once clicked on the appropriate tab, the picture shows. Really weird…

 

It would show up, but you have to set the id as the default if its different than the name you have the web page panel created.

Also found that its best to limit the id name to 3 letters.

Thank you. I've done the News files and that all works fine. 

With the TV logos, I want the folders to be set up like yours (where you have a different folder for each country and competition) so that the TV logo is correct for each country and competition. I can see a lot of the logos are in the ALT folder in your download. If copy these into the right place and set up my folders like yours, do I need to change any Config files anywhere?

 

Sorry mate I did not explain it correctly.

 

It is not an automatic process where the game picks them out for you on its own.

 

You have to manually move the Tv and Euro tv logos into the usual place to get them to work, so that you have 4 there at once, efl, bund, tv and euro.

 

Sorry about the misunderstanding.

Very nice with editing the competiotion news panel

 

However I have a weird behaviour with that. If I add “Transfermarkt” for exampel and make it the feafult also, actually the panel starts there - but not showing the PNG.

I need to click on the approriate Transfermarkt TAB once - then the picture shows up.

 

So far couldn't find what's actaully causing this…

 

Make sure you have the names matching….. the name on the news banner created and in the competition news panel where you add the info.
Like in the image below

Anyone wanting a less blur sharper picture on your news page? 

 

 

Thats fairly easy… 

 

Go to the web page of your choice, zoom into the page as much as possible but make sure, you still get a sharp, decent picture.
 Use the win builtin snipping tool and capture the header of the page you want to show in the news panel. Save it as football365.png as an example.

 

Now you only need to replace the original one within the skin with the captured one - and here we go… 

 

Hint, the bigger you can zoom the original page in the browser with good sharpness - before you do the capture - the better the result will be, as the picture will be resized in the skin anyway to fit into the panel.

 
I'm sure there might be even better ways which might result in even better qualitiy pictures but just wanted to share with you an easy way to get decent results…

 

 

I have made quite  a few…..
See top line is set to Ajax, that is my default news during my current Ajax save. change this to your prefered news.
Add as many as you like as shown below this my adding the text as follows…
    <container class="plain_box" id="esp" appearance="boxes/news/espn" >
   <translation id="title" type="use" value="ESPN" />
    </container>
This must correspond with your made news panel.
As you can see I have a lot made but dont add them all at once, just the ones I may use most.
