#736956 FM 2023 FLUT skin dark - Version 8.0
wazza1971
Hi Flut,
Thanks for your efforts on these, love the packs.
I have just downloaded vs 8 and on the start page where you go to load game , new game, career game etc…. and the main screen is black with just the tabs for load game etc showing and no manager image.
Is it intentional that the manager image does not now show on this page and the loading screen is just black with text on for the loading of games as described above. Not sure if something has gone wrong when installing it. The previous F23 version I had showed the manager avatar on the loading screen, so just checking.
Thanks

#714473 FM 2023 FLUT skin dark - Version 8.0
wazza1971
wazza1971: Thanks. Regarding you problem, if you look at the screenshot of the skin you can see that, in that panel, there is much more information. It works well in my game. Thus, try to clear the cache, exit and reload the game. Keep only this skin in the skins folder.
Hi Flut,
ive tried the above and downloaded the latest version and it still shows as below and not as your photo I also attach an image of the skins folder. Just also to check the screen that you show in your imager is from the Opposition Team > Team Report > Senior Squad > Scout Report which is also the Strength and Weakness link on the Team Report Overview link.
Do you have any other suggestions as its strange how its just this page that isnt showing correctly even when cache is cleared. The other thing I noticed when comparing the images is on the sidebar going down the screen for inbox home squad etc your image does not have the words but not sure if this would affect my issue or not. Any help appreciated. Thanks

Hi,
Really like using your skin, one thing Ive noticed is that the scout reports do not show on the right hand side as the attached images. On the main FM game when you go to scout report actual text is on the right hand side, but on your skin there is nothing. Hope this can be fixed
Keep up the great work

This makes the writing unreadable and I wondered if there was either another skin which stops this and works with the background pack or a way of darkening the writing / texts so it is readable.

Would it be possible to add the Swedish 1st Div North / South - Elite and Premier League into the WIP list if anyone could make them - no worries if they can't be made for whatever reason. Keep up the great work and thanks the packs make the game much more realistic!

I've uploaded 2 pictures for Tigres - the first one I thought may be too small looking at the pictures that had been uploaded by others so uploaded a 2nd one which was of better quality and filled the screen more like the others that had been uploaded did,
i have looked at the other submissions and there is already a picture uploaded for Tigres by somebody in 2017.
I have since looked in the images file that I downloaded and that previous picture is there.
However it is not coming up for the team and another one is as per my post so probably an issue with the config file for Tigres (Team Id 5261737) rather than the picture not existing.
Thanks for all your hard work - the pack looks great

However the image for Tigres in the game looks like
which is completely different.
All of the other Columbian teams in the league have different stadiums to so its not a general one just for the Columbian league

#403313 3D Kits Official Thread (NO REQUESTS)
wazza1971
Please see below on the attachment how the 3d kits appear for Darlington which does not match what is in the file as per my previous post
#403312 3D Kits Official Thread (NO REQUESTS)
wazza1971
When I look at the kits they do not match what is in the file - Darlington shows an away kit of a purple type kit. I am playing away so shouldn't this show?. It also indicates a white kit with what seems to be long sleeves, there are markings on the back but none on the front. The kit does not match the Darlington home or away kit as it should. Not sure if this is an issue because the game is only a Beta or if anything needs correcting. Have other users managed to get the 3d kits working ok.
The front of the Sutton Coldfied kit also does not show
#350472 FM2016 Real Names and German National Team Fix File v3.2 for FM16.3.1 [07/04/2016]
wazza1971
1. I noticed that the existing dbc inc and edt files have other named files in them that are not in the pack - Do you keep these files and overwrite the existing ones with the same name. Im guessing as yes - but then I noticed some are called licensing dbc etc - so not sure if you kept these in or took them out with the pack been a licence fix
2. When I loaded it up I noticed that the Euro cup names and Champs Cup names had not changed in my game - however these competitions had started.
When I started a new game they had - so when do they change
Thanks
#350430 FM 2016 Ad Board Patch - Released on 10/12/2015
wazza1971
Now Ive had a bit of time to look at Ive worked it out and managed to get both club ads and no ads using the png files. I also have the dds files as well if they were needed.
I basically put both xml files in the my docs/sportsinteractive/footballmangager2016/ads file with the xml file I wanted to use in the graphics/pictures/ads pack.
The reason champs leagues ads came up when running club ads was that the club I manage does not have any club ads files for it so the other files showed up. When I experimented using Aresnal I realised I would have to change these from club ads to no club ads to get these files
Thanks for your work - this is a great ad on
#350384 FM 2016 Ad Board Patch - Released on 10/12/2015
wazza1971
Thanks anyway - I appear to have got the ads working now I was putting the xml file in the wrong place I had the adboard and non adoards folders in ads and the xml file in the graphics pictures ads folder.
One question to make sure it is up and running correctly as I have not much time to test it. What ad boards should be shown when playing a champions league game if you have club ads running - currently there is a sign which states champions league - I thought this would only appear if you had no ads xml file running.

#350348 FM2016 Adboards
wazza1971
I originally had them as originally advised on the thread in the pack in the following directory C:\Users\UserName\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2016\graphics\pictures\ads as PNG files and I put the XML file for club ads in there as well.
Following reading a thread I was advised that after the game updated to a different version of the game the location of the ads have changed and needed to be put in 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2016\data\sigfx\graphics\pictures\ads but they needed converting to DDS file format. I spent a week doing this and placed all of the ads in the above directory along with the xml file and still they did not work.
I have experimented using png files and dds files, and by putting the xml file in different locations - and am having no joy. Other users on the thread I posted in have said they have managed to get them working - but I cannot.
Could somebody advise if this pack no longer works or if it does in laymans terms step by step how to get it working as I have followed the instructions and also followed other advice on the thread. Can you also advise if DDS format is the correct filetype.
What I did notice as well is when I loaded up the game the existing files in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2016\data\sigfx\graphics\pictures\ads directory are DDS format but there wasn't an xml file!
Thanks

I have already converted the full pack with a different DDS convertor - but they still don;t appear to work.
Can you confirm
1. Is the directory for the pack still 'C:\Users\UserName\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2016\graphics\pictures\ads' or do they all go in the directory mentioned in an earlier post 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2016\data\sigfx\graphics\pictures\ads\default'
2. Does the full pack need converting or is it just the default file in the 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2016\data\sigfx\graphics\pictures\ads\default' directory - Do you replace this file with the defalt file downloaded with the pack with the others remaining as png files
I'm guessing the convertor program I used did not do it correctly as you mention its DDS M8 above - Im not sure what this means but the convertor program I used only mentioned DDS files. I also put them in the 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2016\data\sigfx\graphics\pictures\ads\' directory and they didn't work. Ive tried moving them to to the 'C:\Users\UserName\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2016\graphics\pictures\ads' and again they did not work at all
Any help would be appreciated as Ive used the pack before on different versions of the game and it looks really good
UPDATE:
Ive re-installed FM and as you say the existing files are all DSS in the 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2016\data\sigfx\graphics\pictures\ads\.
I have overwitten all of these files with my DSS files that I converted from the downloaded pack as the existing file structure also showed other countries adboards.
.I also put one of the the xml file for ads and no ads into the ads folder in the above directory and the pack still didn't work.
After the reinstallation of the game I looked at the existing file strcuture in the above directory I have noticed that it does not contain an xml file at all in it.
So where do you put the xml file for it to work - I believe this is more the issue of why they wont work rather than the files not converting properly especially as the existing files under details are DSS image files which match the same description as the files I converted from the different program
If there is no xml file in the game anymore how do you do ads and no ads in it - the only files that seemed to appear where the default ones and none of the others
To avoid confusion and to make sure it isn't the DSS files that haven't converted correctly could you explain step by step in laymans terms what I need to do and give filepaths of where each file should go as I cannot understand how others have managed to get both club ads and no club ads packs working now the game is using dss files, I have swapped the locations of different files around for 3-4 hours and still have no joy - the only ads that seem to show are the default ones even when I take out the ads folder completely from the
t 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2016\data\sigfx\graphics\pictures\ads directory which I would have thought would make the boards blank!!

Anyone know if the pack has been updated with the images in dds files and not png. I've just downloaded and they appear in png.
If not any ideas how you convert them - looked at Photoshop and there isn't a file name of this type to save to
