Yeah kind of. Basically one of the other games I played (Trainz) has an index website that allows you to look up missing files (trainzkuidindex) and basically it allows me to put in whatever KUIDs I want and it will bring me up any results if there are any. I can't remember if there's an upwards limit on the number per time as my sub to that site expired a good couple of years ago.

That being said, your site is pretty useful. At the moment it's helping me rename around 4000 files although progress is going slow (hence hoping for bulk) - my only other suggestion possibly (if you're taking suggestions) is clicking into the record could bring us to the profile page on here?

Either way I really like what you've done

This is pretty good. Just out of interest, is there a way to bulk search for UIDs? 

I am working on python scripts to sort my graphics folders out but when I can find the occasional list of UIDs I need, there are often some that aren't on there, so being able to quickly bulk search would be useful?

I'll have a play around and see what I can find. @TheModelCitizen has an Island Games Database and they are the main reason I got into the whole thing but I plan on slowly working through each of the countries and adding what I can. Problem with some of the smaller islands is they don't have their own domestic system, but it will be a good thing to test with. If memory serves they also did work on a Catalan database so they might have some insight for you.

Ironically Shetland is one of the databases I am/will be working on myself. Currently doing the Isle of Wight at the moment. I have great interest in the Island Games so I am working through all of the nations there as well as all the others in the database little by little. A thankless task I assure you. Anyway, have you changed the languages of the nation, the region and the cities? That would probably be a big part. You'll also need to make sure you've changed all of the cities, clubs and regions to your Shetland nation (Based Nation if they play outside of Shetland.) I'd be interested to see how far you've got with it? Perhaps we can help each other. Feel free to drop me an inbox if you want to discuss it further.

The dropbox link doesn't work, just so you're aware.

Potentially it could be one of two things:

1) The config is not set up to point to the files correctly.
2) The clubs you have jerseys for don't have kits set up in the Pre-Game Editor.

@lepatsio check your inbox

@pires120013  thanks for these, but double check a few of your logos. Where you've removed the backgrounds on some of them you've stripped away the white in the logos.

Download this. Depending on how familiar you are with the game files and modifying stuff you can do all sorts

Done

I like this a lot, not meaning to be rude when I ask this, but will there ever be an update to this app?

This looks pretty impressive. I've signed up so will check it out

Have you reloaded the skin in football manager itself?

This is an option under preferences

Check this out to:

 

Well that's the difference. With nations it crashes the PGE when you add a new one, with this it just adds a new entry successfully and you can change the exchange rate you just can't do anything with the name. I thought .lnc files might be the way forward like it was with the nation names before they fixed those but without knowing the full pathway you won't be able to do anything

Defo don't feel bad about it. It just gives me a tendency to come off as pedantic lol.

I don't see how hard it would be? Create currency make sure there's an exchange rate. I suppose the confusion might come in if people use a ridiculously high exchange rate that ends up being economy breaking. Alas keep me posted.

You're right about that unfortunately. Same with your transfer values. I see how often you whack updates out. That being said, this only came about because I was trying everything I could possibly think of to rename currencies. I can add new currencies but they remain blank. Currencies already in-game just revert to their default name the second I leave the box. Would love to find a solution as it really annoys me, but then I'm autistic and like diddly little details no one else cares about.

That being said, this whole thing also came around because of a project someone asked me to do, a project of my own (a spreadsheet to sort the default database because we all know that's a mess) whilst permitting me to add stuff in a balanced way and just generally deep diving into the P.G.E.

Autism aside, if anyone does know how to rename currencies, whether it's through lnc files or modding other files please share. It seems such a moronic thing to hardcode.

Don't worry chief, I rename them anyway as I have my kit files sorted by UID as opposed to name. Easier for me to find what I need that way. Just wanted to bring it to your attention for your next update.

Hey bro,

Went through the config and you have a couple of errors in there. If I remember correctly one of the Barbados' was spelt wrong and there was another with an error too. Secondly, double check some of the Confederation memberships (admittedly this is only minor) as some of the one's you have, mostly with the non-affiliated nations are in the wrong folder. Besides that, not a bad job man.

Just going through the config and noticed Gioiese_3 is under the wrong UID (Serie D, Group I)

43345403 is what's given when it should be 43315403

Sure so in the attached screenshot, I've circled the back of the shirt. That is a plain blue shirt. From what I can see (and it could simply be I've not installed something right) the back of the shirt seems to be generic and I am guessing based off what is chosen in the PGE as the club's colours? Is there anyway to make the back of that shirt, the actual back of the teams shirt from the 2D kit instead of just a generic back?

Probably a bit of a stupid question, but is there any way to get the actual back of the shirt showing as the back of shirt graphic? (i.e. in the player profile)

Reading also got a further two points deducted if anyone is keeping track lol

@DazS8 ,

I'm well aware of that. I know how most of the inner workings of this game work and that's not what I was asking (though I appreciate the response) - The graphical request I was asking about was the map with the target on it, as I thought that was made exclusively for this skin, and the metallic nation logos were something else separate altogether?

As for the comp logos regarding friendlies, I know how to change them and I understand that. What I was attempting to clarify is if the the FIFA logo was simply part of the competition logos for Friendlies or whether it was something that was made part of the skin? At the time I hadn't dived into the graphics folder to check all the comp logos I have and whether or not there was a way to change things so that Non-FIFA affiliated nations don't come up under FIFA friendlies. Admittedly I could have explained that better, but that was what I was attempting to ask.

Thanks

 

Hey @flut 

I appreciate you getting back to me. So in terms of the questions. I don't mean the metallic logos, as I know there's a request thread for those but I mean the map bit you use on your skin: (Like below) As I have repurposed all the inactive nations and it would be cool if I could find matching ones.

In terms of the second question, I think it's more the competition logo for friendlies rather than anything you've done. The issue for example is with the friendlies, a few of the teams here aren't affiliated to FIFA but I suppose that is more an issue with the limitations of the game than anything you personally have control over? 
 

@renskay I love seeing stuff like this. One of the projects I am working on is to help the realism. It's taking me a while to do unfortunately but seeing projects like this helps a lot. I definitely agree we need even more customisation in the game instead of having stuff hard-coded. I personally change all of the inactive nations anyway, apart from Crimea that you can't really do a lot with. Thanks to @themodelcitizen I learnt about the Island Games so that gave me something to do with those nations instead of just leaving them there to waste data.

It would be handy to have more control over adding and removing nations and regions even for the people who like to do historical databases. I guess we can hope. I just feel right now there's a lot of untapped potential.

Hey Flut,

Absolutely love this skin and finally have the graphics working the way I want for the most part. I do just have a quick question, the graphics you use for the flags that have the nations location with the target, do you or whoever contributes the graphics take requests, as I have basically reactivated all of the dead nations so it would be nice if they could all follow the same structure as the ‘active’ nations?

Also as a suggestion, I think I noticed mentions of FIFA on some of the Non-FIFA affiliated nations. I am wondering if coming up with some kind of graphic for that would be possible based on the scripting and stuff used in your skin?

I don't mean for any of this to sound patronising, negative or anything else. I'm autistic so communication isn't my strong suite.

 

Yeah I downloaded it now. Having some trouble connecting the templates but it looks promising

Oh nice, does it require a separate sub to FMRTE?

Well anything that adds to the realism gets a thumbs up in my book. I am working on a large scale excel project myself, so I'd be curious to hear about some of the stuff you've done for this file, especially in relation to context and balancing. Obviously, that's only if you don't mind sharing
