It could still remain Attributeless but just give a ‘hidden’ option to those who love the skin but would ‘also’ like to see the attributes in numeric value under the hood. Then the skin would be perfect but, as it is, it is too niche for most players.  There is a work around in the preferences that can trick the skin into showing the numerical attributes, but i won't reveal this here out of respect to the developer for his outstanding work.

 

No one's going to stop you from revealing your work around.  I'm assuming it is by using v1.0 and seeing the landing page as attributes?

 

And yes, it is niche.  It is for a specific play style.  Vegan restaurants are also niche.  But if I went into one and said “you should make this with meat”, I'd be an a**hole.

It would be legendary if it was numeric, this way it is not clear what is what.

 

No matter where you chose to comment, this attributeless skin is going to remain attributeless.  It wouldn't be much of an attributeless skin otherwise, would it?

Hey,

first of all - sorry for my bad english. I tried the Mustermann Iconic 1.1 Skin. Thank you for your work!

 

I was scrolling through a few pages and everything worked fine. Now I changed back to the normal FM skin and no more attributes are showing in the staff search (See picture below, in german). If I click into the person the attributes show up normally.

I already did the Reset of all graphic preferences, but this changed nothing. This problem now occurs in every (!) savegame i load up… What should I do? I am quite lost right now. :'D

 

Thank you so much for your help in advance! 

 

Greetings from Germany

 

A late response, but you just need to close the game and start again (same process required when loading Mustermann Iconic for the first time, too) as the properties file is only loaded on boot up.

Had my doubts at first but honestly this style of play is so much more fun. I've seen myself lean more on my staff than I ever have had. Great work, you have made a converter out of me.

There is one thing I have noticed though - when praising the player's training using the Individual > Detailed > Select Multiples the thumbs up and thumbs down do not disappear after praising so I can pretty much keep praising player repeatedly. 

 

Would you be able to send me the save file (upload to Mediafire or somewhere and send me the link)?  I've had someone else mention this, but when I've checked on my own saves, I'm unable to replicate the issue.

I'm loving this skin even though I must miss 90% of its goodness due to being new to the stat world, however on my save I never seem to have any post match, on the overview panel, data, see below:
 

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but I have all the analysts I can get and this is the only bit on the skin that isn't working as it should. Help?

 

You see the little up arrow next to the name of each statistic.  Click on it to sort it descending (e.g. highest value first)

Hey, it's me again! Still only using your skin. Sometimes I swap in and out just to see some stats, but I'm realizing that if I wasn't basing my decisions off of the information in this skin… I probably wouldn't have bought, let alone start most of the people that have been doing well for me. I'm in the Premier League right now with Bristol City and made some signings I would have never made just by looking at their attributes and they've all been doing a solid job for me! 

Now, let's get to my questions 🙂 

  1. Kind of a silly question, but the possession lost section. Is it the more filled it is the more often the player loses possession, or do you want this to be big? The higher the less possession loss

2) Like many of us, when scouting for wonderkids, the Pizza chart doesn't fill up, because I assume they don't play for the starting 11. So what would you base your decision on whether this kid is good or not? The little attribute bars at the bottom? I do use the little attribute bar bottom right too, but I've been noticing that if a player doesn't play, the pizza chart doesn't have data to pull from correct? Even if I fully scout the player?

 

Thank you in advance! 

 

  1.  The bigger the slice, the better the player is at that action.  For possession lost, this mean they lose possession less frequently.  So the smaller the number, the bigger the bar will be.
  2. Yes, unfortunately statistical analysis isn't available for non-senior games.  It's weird because you can view the stats from a youth competition page, but if you go into a youth player and try to get for example, one of the data hub reports, they're not available either.  In a weird way, I kind of like this - because at a youth level there is often such a great disparity in talent, that the stats might actually be misleading.  That said, personally, I use the DNA attributes to make my judgement.  Is the player competent in the areas that I prioritise, and then do they have potential to grow (is there a big difference between current ability rating and potential ability rating according to my scout)

Hi I love the skin, if I was to vary the skin a bit, how would I transfer the touchline tablet which you use across to my own personal version of the skin ?Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

You'd need to copy over the match/in between highlights panel.xml along with the touchline tablet panel.xml.

 

In the touchline tablet panel.xml - you'll see the other files it references, you'll need to copy those, too.  And any panels those panels then reference.  You will probably also need the classes/mustermann_tabbed along with the graphics it references.

Beautiful, I used your 23 version exclusively and it'll be the same this year

 

May I ask how you removed/disabled the players overview > attributes page? I've wanted to do that on other skins.

 

Looking forward to seeing how this develops

 

You need to edit [skin name]/sections/person sections.xml, changing <record id="Pply" /> to <!--<record id="Pply" />-->.

 

Most skins, however, won't have that file in them.  You'll need to extract it using the Resource Archiver.

Hey again! 

Three questions for you; 

  1. What kind of updates (if any) do you have planned? How do we get those updates? I usually just download a skin and run with it throughout the life of FM so I've never really updated a skin. Do we just re-download it?
  2. Not sure about the coding aspect of things, but would it be possible down the road to make it so that the skin automatically changes colors judged on the team you select?
    1. I'm very VERY new to coding. Just started it myself about 1 month ago or so but it would be helpful if you could release a quick youtube tutorial on how to change colors yourself. It's on the main video but I'd rather not mess anything major up haha
  3. Which color palette is the default one? Just in case I switch and don't like it? Baciccia - Blues?

Thanks in advance! 

 

Edit: This Skin ruined FM for me… every time I use a regular laid-out skin now, I'm looking for the most important information and it's a pain to figure out “How has the player been playing”. So you should add a disclaimer to this that once you start to understand and enjoy this skin, you won't go back to regular ones hahah

 

Thank you for the kind words.  In response to your questions:

 

  1. Yes, it's just a case of redownloading.  The version number will be updated, so technically you could have multiple versions in your skin folder, but I will always recommend against doing that, just in case there ends up being a conflict with some of the files.
  2. Club colours is very tricky, especially with the design style I've opted for.  When you use a club's primary colour as a background to a section, then you have to use the club's secondary colour for the text.  This is because you cannot identify if the club's primary colour is going to be light or dark and change the text on top of it conditionally.  If you view the Club Info page for a team such as FC Augbsurg you will understand why I decided against doing this!
    1. From a coding point of view, though, it is possibly.  Renaming red_replacement="mustermann3" (or whatever colour I chose for a specific element) to red_replacement="primary" in various places will allow you to do so.  These will be files like panels/player/player overview panel.xml, for example.  But there are a lot of files that will need going through, and you'd then need to also change colour="text" on the all the relevant text fields to colour="secondary".
  3. I doubt I will be doing any further YouTube videos on skinning in the near future.  My focus is to start playing and continue the content that has previously been on the channel.  That is not to say there will never be anything, but it is not likely to be soon.  
    1. In terms of changing colours, it is very simple - change the RGB value for the colours you want.  I have made the colour scheme very simple for this purpose.  The “mustermann” values are the main accent colours - often used for header backgrounds.  mustermann3 is the central value, the lower numbers are darker shades of that colour, the higher numbers are lighter shades of that colour (e.g. mustermann4 is lighter than mustermann3).  The “gimn” values are the complementary accent colour - often used for titles.  This follows the same rules, gimn1 is slightly darker, gimn2 is the central value, gimn3 is slightly lighter.
    2. After the theme colours are two more sections.  The first section is custom colours I've defined.  These mostly then refer back to the scheme colours.  I have tried to name them in a way that is clear what they are used for.  For example pizza_attack is the colour for the pizza chart for the attacking category.  The next section is colours already defined in game that I have changed.  This is things like attribute colours and form colours.  Deleting these rows entirely will revert back to the default colours used by FM.
  4. The default colour scheme with the download is Martyr - Blue and Gold.

What's the current thinking behind not showing progress arrows(or something equivalent) in skills (attribute groups)?

normally coach's could see X player has improved in their ball control.

 

  • It's not possible in the chosen layout
  • It's far too granular.  The arrows show attribute change of 0.1.  On a scale of 1-20, that means arrows are showing when there is an improvement or regression of 0.5%.
  • You can see broader progression from the player's development page

you can probs save it for your next version

 

Just for transparency - it won't be a part of the official download, as it wouldn't be a friendly setup to lower resolutions, but when I get a chance I'll have a look nonetheless and provide guidance for how you can implement it.

thanks again for this the shirt size is much better 

something I should flag thou is that yellow cards do not show anymore, so that would need to be adjusted if you plan to use.
(sorry for HDR)
 

 

That's good to know.  I'll see if I can look into it, but might not be for a little while.  First up…actually play the game.  Then…finish off updates relating to the patch on Thursday.

I just wanted to say that this skin is insane and I really appreciate the work you have done. This skin made me realize that 2 of my starters, who I thought we're doing great, are actually not that good at all at the roles I've assigned to them. 

This skin really makes you look at players in terms of their performances and not just seeing green numbers and think “you're a starter now!” 

It definitely takes some getting used to as it transforms the entire game. I had my youth intake and had no idea whether some of these players we're actually going to make it, but that's how it is in real life. You don't get those numbers for your youth intake. You might say“hey this kid is fast!” But you wouldn't know he's a 16 out of 20 for speed. 

I think I will stick with this skin for a while, like I said it will take some getting used to but it's incredible once you're adapted to it! 

Incredible work! 

 

Thank you for the kinds words, and I'm glad you're enjoying it as much as I do!!  There is something super liberating about not worrying about minor attribute differences!

@gimn85 hope you don't mind a couple of suggestions from my using skin

Contract expiry dates - would it be possible to add this date to the front/top of the player/staff profiles and also to the quick tooltip profiles 
reason being its useful information that now requires a click through to another page 

 

and this might be because I play in 1440p the kits at the bottom in match view look pretty small compared to other interface elements.

 

Suggestions are always welcome (I just make no promises they'll be implemented).

 

Contract expiry dates I'll consider.  These used to be in, using the piece of code that formats it as "[wage] until [date]".  I recall there being an issue between FM22 and FM23 with this particular bit, so I'll revisit and see if I can get it working.

 

I'm not sure on the kits at the bottom.  I'll consider, but I'll be transparent with my current thoughts: the kits haven't been changed from the default size, and I can't necessarily see a reason to increase them.  I play at 2560x1440 (when I'm not recording) and it doesn't look out of place to me, but I do accept that by moving the tactical options into buttons, I've increased the width for each player, and definitely confers more benefits to those at lower resolutions.

 

What I will do is send you an alternative file.  The attached xml would need to go in panels/widgets folder.  This moves things around to give more prominence to the kits, but you will probably need to tweak this further to your preference:

Hey @gimn85 this won't appear in our visual skins viewer or be properly shared on social media unless the images are uploaded via the upload screenshots option.

 

But I see you're trying to do something creative with the images you've uploaded that won't work as well when converted to thumbnails.

 

Could you perhaps upload a few normal screenshots so that the skin can appear elsewhere on the site?

 

Done!

CA, PA. and World Reputation stars/circles appear very small when you go below half a gold star and into the grey stars for some reason.

 

 

 

Correct, that is a deliberate design choice.  Something I forgot to mention in the video.  It allows a single visualisation to display current and potential ability in the profile for youth players.

 

For example, this player is currently 3.5 youth stars, with potential between 2-3 senior stars.

 

 

 

Whilst this player is 1 senior star, with potential between 3-4 senior stars.

However, this skin is fantastic. From the ideas within it to the actual implementation this is for sure one of its kind! 

 

Thank you.  It is a very niche playing style, and I expect the majority of people who open this thread will have a very similar opinion (in that it's not for them)

Great skin, thanks!

 

Its just cosmetic: When seeing the teams right before matches you also see the last 5 matches. (win, draw, loss). The away team has an error there and get the home team last 5 matches showed.

 

Thank you for noticing.  I'll take a look this evening, but sounds like I might have just forgotten to change a single ID somewhere!

Yeah, I believe this will not be a common issue and I am sure you have tested this skin thoroughly prior to releasing it, given how meticulous you are. I use a 4K TV as a monitor, and I am sure it'll be very rare that someone else will be using the set of settings I use.

 

I am using 4K (3840x2160) as my display resolution, with scale set to 225% (can be found under System → Display on Windows). However, all FM skins I have tested so far (default, TCS, Sas24, Electric Panther) behave as they would on a regular 4K display (with system-scaling set to 100%), when the in-game zoom is set to 85%. 

 

Prior to switching to your skin, I was using Sas24 at 95% zoom, which only results in the bottom few panels on the player profile page to be cut off slightly.

 

Here's the in-game tactics screen, and it works as intended with the player names showing up. I also noticed a similar issue with the bottom panels for the 5-year plan under club vision, but this does get resolved when you reduce the system scaling.

I am not expecting you to release a hotfix for my pretty peculiar setup, but would really appreciate if you could take the time to re-create the issue and see if you can resolve it 🙂 Thanks a lot for the swift reply.

Here's screencap with both system and in game zoom levels set to 100%, and the issue still persists.

 

Thank you for going into so much detail.  That's interesting, as with those scaling settings you should end up with an effective screen size of around 2000x1200; so it seems weird that it's cutting some stuff off.  I'll have a play around and see what I can find out.

Not sure as to why it's happening but the tactics screen is pretty buggy for me. Not seeing player names and also the team mentality tab is showing up blank. Tried with 4 different zoom level and resolution combinations to no avail. Playing the game on Gamepass and using the “Cbristmas” config file for the colors, if that helps in any way 🙂 Thanks for putting this unique take on skinning, loved last year's version and what you have going on here, as well. 

 

 

 

Oh, that's interesting.  What resolution and zoom settings do you use?  For Zoom settings if you can tell me the game zoom level and Windows scaling level that would be great, and will help me try and replicate this.

Thanks for the advice!

The problem is I don't know anything about coding/programming though.

 

In my understanding there should be a basic preview of a 2d kit as the standard view in the line-up view and the kits for each team would be set to appear in this view via a dedicated config file….don't know if this would work at all, it would just be a neat little feature to spice things up 

 

these are the corresponding files but they were made for the flut skin to appear right next to the player faces.

 

2D Kits 23/24 for Flutskin - Titlebar/Player Overview v.7.0 - FC'12 Kits Forum - FM24 - Football Manager 2024 (sortitoutsi.net)

 

I'm sure you can manage a bit of copying and pasting!!  I have faith in you.

 

If the version of the icons on the pitch in Flut is to your liking, then find that file - for Flut it should be Flut/panels/tactics/tactics icon info panel overview.xml - copy that file into Mustermann/panels/tactics folder.

 

Then reload the skin with caching turned off.

First of all: the skin is amzing and definitely changes the way I play FM from now on!

Not relying on the specific attribute number but on a more graphical and specific way ist both more logical and realistic.

 

But now to my question:

 

Is it possible to change the footed circles in the tactic screen to these 2D Mini Kits (view attachments)?

If so, how could I do that?

 

You'll want to edit Mustermann Iconic/panels/tactics/tactics icon info panel overview.xml.  Your best bet is to find the corresponding file in a skin you like and paste it into the folder.

Hi taz71.  

 

It is considered a courtesy to ask other skinners for permission and provide credits after you've borrowed their work to include in a skin for public release.  I heartily recommend doing so.
