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

Where is the location of the config file that you are adding the text to, please?

 

Its the Competitions News Panel inside the competitions panels folder

 

Here is everything needed for News/websites and Tv logos

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.

Thanks so much; how do I choose which logo will be used?

 

Original Flut Skin tv logo folder

Choose which logo you want then move it to this folder…and rename it “tv logo”

 


Ignore all the other folders they are set up just for me (logos for their countries)
I have it set up differently than the original flut skin
(I have my skin set up to show a different  league and euro tv logo dependant on which country I manage in, hence the county folders plus the names euro and tv)

Hi, this is my new favorite skin. Quick question. My games are “broadcast” by Sport TV 1. Is there a way to change that to NBC Sports/Peacock for American viewers?

 

Here is my personal folder of tv logos mate, American broadcasters included.

My game keeps telling me that this it not compatible.

 

Any ideas why?

 

It was made for Fm23, thats why.
FMF files are not usable until full game is released, when a new one may be released.

@flut  great job thank you!

 

Is it possible to add ESPN to the TV Logo's?

 

I have a folder full of tv logos which I use, I can let you have that…..and yes ESPN is in there.

Hi all

 

Sorry for my silence.

I am busy these days with my professional activities.

I believe I can start seeing your reports and answers on Friday afternoon or Saturday ... (no promising ...). Sorry…and thanks for your patience.

 

My issues are resolved mate, I have made a Red version and a Yellow version of this Superb skin, plus added lots of backgrounds to screens.

Any idea how that button is called?

 

 

If you hover over with the mouse, it changes to kind of purple…

 

Would really like to get rid of those two 😀

 

Not 100% sure but I think you alter that in the buttons folder…..maybe…..here….

Could you help me in changing the colour scheme of these blue colours (not a big blue fan) buttons and loading screen etc.

I used to know but my knowledge now is very limited.

Many thanks

I'm doing some numbers of Liga Betclic, are you interested on them for the skin?

The Liga Betclic marks can be changed to a neutral logo or something related with your skin

 

Look good, but yes agree with my good friend kfnielsen, Prem League would be good
