Good Day Flut,

 

your XML worked. But there was no file to overwrite!? Is that the issue? Before inserting your file here's how the panels/player folder looked:

 

There was no plain “player additional attributes panel.xml”. Just the ones with the “1” and “3” at the end. Nothing to replace. It was just copy and paste.

Well….nevertheless it worked for me. Thanks, mate. Have a good day

 

oh…many thanks. The “bug” was found lol. I use the range 1-200, and I know many people prefer the 1-20. Thus, every time I have to copy my files to release a new skin version, I have to change that code and paste the file into the skin folder. I believe I was missing out on doing that….Thanks! Now I think the bug is explained lol. Sorry for that…

@flut Hey mate, I think some people are missing the CA/PA boxes that usually are right next to the attributes on the Player Profile Page (should be in the red marked area). The Profile Pictures you shared as a preview have them in. I just unzipped your file and didn't use any alt files. And the Bundesliga Scoreboard has the same issue as the Carabao Cup one - the logo is missing next to the scoreboard. There's just a small grey area, I suppose the logo needs to be in that space. Don't have a screenshot at hand.

Absolutely amazing work on the skin, mate. Cheers

 

Hi, and thanks 🙂

Regarding those problems, I don't know why they occur. I noticed that in the case of the player panel, the game (in your case and in the cases where that problem arises) assumes the information of the default/original xml and not that one I edited. Why? I don't know (and it never happened in my game). However, I tried a slight change in the respective xml.

Here is that xml. Please place it in the panels/player folder of the skin, overwriting the other one, and please tell me if the bug is fixed. 

Regarding the missing logo in the original scoreboard, I also don't know why it happens. I believe there is a conflict with the XMLs I included, but I have no idea why or what the conflict is.

Why is the scoreboard colorless and transparent? How can it be colored?

 

That is a weird scoreboard…(the graphics, the font, the missing boxes…..those do not match the skin)

If you didn't change anything in the original flutskin, try to clear the cache, keep only this skin (and this skin version) in the skins folder of the game and reload the game.

I have a question about this too.  I have tried the Alt file number 10, but it does not remove the PA/CA star rating on the player profile for some reason.  I have used this Alt for every iteration of the skin that i have downloaded but that Alt just never seems to remove the PA/CA star ratings that are shown on the Players main profile page.

 

Hi

To remove the stars, open the player personal details1.xml and remove the following code Lines 27 - 102):

Is there a way to turn off the CA/PA display on the player panel? Or only display CA without displaying PA

 

Hi. Please use the alt included in the skin pack → 10 alt for player profile without PA and CA

Hi all

Next version will include two new scoreboards: Premier League style and Liga BetClic style (what do you think about it?). The Premier League style was based on the earlier work of Tangfu. The colours of some scoreboards (namely, championship style and Bundesliga styles, where the white colour is a problem…) are also now fixed. Furthermore, I will also include more TV Logos!

The light green boxes the “wnt” box next to zubermendi. Just want to make it a bit darker please. 

 

Hi

I am not sure because I don't remember anymore (it was a long time ago when I edited those buttons). However, I imagine it is in the following code, located in the settings.xml

 

  <!-- Status Button Colours -->
<colour name="status_advisory" red="0" green="85" blue="34"/> <!-- Status button colour - red_replacement -->
<colour name="status_advisory_high" red="0" green="155" blue="34"/> <!-- Status button colour - red_replacement -->

 I can also confirm this is happening to me too.  No Logo in any of the Carabao Cup games.  A minor thing in an otherwise absolutely outstanding skin - thanks for your continued hard work. Without people like you, and the many others who devote their time to graphic enhancement, the FM journey would just be so boring!.

 

Many thanks.

 

Thanks 🙂 🙂

Good morning (in Jakarta) flut,

Thank you for v8 skin, it's amazing !! I think Miles and SI should hire you as their UI consultant 😄

 

Btw, have you addressed the bug with the kit & logo in the match ? You are right, the problem appear if a team doesn't have a 2d custom kit.

 

And another thing, in the player panel, if I use “Flut Card” mode, the small nation icon move above player picture, that makes it double because there is already the big nation icon.  Just want to notice you about that 😄😄

 

In other mode it looks fine because the small icon placed under the name / face.

 

Again, thank you flut for your hardwork !! Blessings !!

 

Hi

Thanks for your kind words.

Regarding the bug related to kit/logo I supposed I found the problem. Is related to a trick I used to place the club logo in the default kit (in the clubs without the kit prepared for flutskin). Try this two files and let me know if is solved (place the kit icon23 in the generic folder and the kit picture in the widgets folder.

Concerning the logo, in fact, as my logos are different in your third screenshot you should see the nation badge on the left and the nation flag on the right…

By Jeff50 26 May 2025 - 06:42 AM UTC 

just checked it on mine and it all matches up with yours 

I have re downloaded your skin and its still showing no comp logo all the other comp logos show up on the scoreboard apart from that one 

I have put the flut skin v7 back in and as you see from the screenshot the efl logo is showing up in that skin just not the v8 skin 

i have no other skins in my folder just the V8 one 

 

That is really weird. I can't explain that. I believe that sometimes we change something and that affects other panels….because sometimes the game seems to have strange behaviours (like that one - I didn't change anything there)

Hi @flut  in skin 8.0 you are missing or delete players CA PA boxes ?

 

No. But you can replace the files without CA/PA I sent you for V7.

I appreciate you trying, although I don't know if you understood me correctly. The idea is to make the news items larger and only show three instead of the five you see now. I'm not talking about changing anything else, just making them appear larger.

 

Ah..are you talking in this?

@flut Love this skin amazing work.

 

Two questions about graphics not showing up. I have all the stadiums added in but i get a lot of blank stadium images… for example (when the game is moving forward🙂

Also, the kits have a similar problem. They show in some places but not others for example… On the player profile this is the default kit, rather than the one i have put in the game.

 

Thanks! 🙂

You should have the stadiums pack (you can download it here in sortitoutsi - https://sortitoutsi.net/graphics/style/17/sortitoutsi-backgrounds-megapack 

If you already have it and stadium images are still missing, please read the readme file “read me 4—Stadium CONFIGS Flutskin FM.” I explain in that file how the stadium configs should be.

You also should have the 2D kits prepared for Flutskin. You can also download it here in sortitoutsi: https://sortitoutsi.net/content/44727/2d-kits-1819-for-flutskin-titlebarplayer-overview-v10

@flut 

Hi mate I'm playing in the Carabao cup final and there is no competition logo on the scoreboard 

here is a screen shot cheers 

 

I don't know what happens. I didn't change anything in the match score area.xml of the EFL leagues (despite that, I took a look at the xml and everything is okay, as you can see (in red, the Carabao Cup is highlighted)

@flut  i have a question, in this view should it be a picture of the stadion but i am using the team city pack and on the picture is the city pic. 

 

when iI  am using also the team backgrounds i see this

 

 

The backgrounds  are 2560 x 1600 but seems to be distorted.

I want to change the text stadion in to club, which panel should i process?

 

As Darkside commented, you can edit it in team squad.xml - line 1626:  <translation id="title" translation_id="229366" type="use" value="Stadium" />

Hi all

 

Now you can download the FLUTSKIN for FM24, version 8.0.

The most significant change is the inclusion of a TV Logos Selector (with many options and an auto-select scheme), which contributes to customising your game (which is always my concern in the FlutSkin edition). 

 

As I explained in the version presentation, adding the TV Logo Selector results from teamwork. I had the idea of a TV logo selector, created it, made many XMLs for use and did the “final” adjustments of the Logos grouping. But Darkside had the great idea of grouping the items and creating the auto-assignment scheme (following his idea). Finally, DazS8 provided tons of great logos, which I added to mine for use in the default version, and are also included in one of the alts provided in the skin pack! Thank you, Darkside and DazS8, my friends!

 

I hope you enjoy this new version!

Could have helped you with this mate as I already have a working 8 choice tv logo selector & a large selection of tv logos
Looking forward to seeing how you have it set up, looks like you have drop down version as selector, a great addition.

I put a button in titlebar as selector but your version is probably a better choice.

 

Thanks DazS!! And thank you for sent me your logos pack. For now I included 30 different logos in the TV logo selector!

Thanks for accepting my challenge. 🙂 The logos were not okay since are small (it is important that the TV Logos use all the space of the height, without borders). However, I search for that logo and is included 🙂

Hi all

 

Now (for the next version), the skin will have a TV Logo selector. We can choose the TV logo we want to display in a match in-game.

My challenge for you is to place here the PNG of the TV Logo you want to include in the options to choose. You should place two pictures here—the normal logo and the @2x logo. 

 

The standard/normal Logo should have 25 px height, and the @2x should have 50px height. 

Name the logos as you want, but use the same main name for both (for example, sky.png and [email protected]).

Please place a png with quality and keeping the aspect ratio.

Do you accept this challenge?

Thanks!!

HI @flut great skin. 

could you please  tell me the name of the xmls for this new screen as i want to make some changes to size etc

Hi.

Thanks.

Regarding your question, the xml is the team squad.xml. However, that xml “call” many other xmls in order to display all the stuff in that panel. You can find all the other xmls searching for file=" in the team squad.xml

Thanks luffy, KI5, Bielsa, evoking, marck and Darkside!! 😊

 

Hablo: please read the read me files, namely Read me 9 - Adjusting the match title bar.pdf. I explain how you can fix that. However you always can proceed the game – just press tab

 

KI5: the problem is that by contrast to the licensed leagues, the game doesn’t read other special folders. Thus, if we create other match titlebar.xml with other logos you have to replace the “normal” titlebar with that. That is almost the same as we can do now, changing the name of the TV Logo (the graphic we want use or the code name in the match titlebar.xml) in normal match titlebar.

In the meantime, I tried another approach to the match lineups panel for the all UEFA leagues. Now, The match lineups panels of the UEFA leagues (Champions, Conference and Europa) are on one panel with tabs and proceeding only when we click on continue button. I believe that is the first time we can look at the Champions/Europa/Conference league table during the match lineups panel 🙂 What do you thin about it (this example is for CL, but is the same for other UEFA leagues)?

what logo(s) do you use ? I'm curious too about this problem, because it was normal when using the v4 skin, but start from v5 the problem came up

 

Well, I could know when that bug is displayed: when you play without the kits prepared for flutskin (or if the tema doesn't have that kit). However, I don't know why it happens. In spite of that, I believe I could managed it chnaging in a few panels, the kit for the badge. It will be in that way in the next version of the skin.

Thank you, DaZs, Bartdude, Marck, Bielsa, and Anpuerta, for your kind words!! Thank you also to all the guys who use the FlutSkin and motivate me to continue editing it.

 

Now you can download version 7.0 of FlutSkin. The major changes are the New Panel I included as a tab when you go to the team squad panel, and a completely restyled match lineups panels!! Also, I included two new scoreboards based on Darkside's work. I hope you enjoy it!

 

all the best!!

Hi all

Version 7.0 is coming soon. It includes a new panel (in a tab) in the team squad panel, which I presented in my comment of 09 May 2025 19:11:55 It also includes an almost completely new match preview lineups panel (in this “panel”, the teams' lineups are in the first panel, and beyond the league table, there is other information in the second panel. I also included a header with lots of information. Here are the screenshots for the first and the second panels.

any idea why the logo has started appearing since the latest version, never had the problem before, and any idea how to remove it.

 

Your problem is similar to the one reported by Evoke. I don't know what happens…so I can't help you. Sorry…
