You must have done something wrong.
I posted this on numerous sites and nobody reported this, double check the procedure, the locations you copied the files in and otherwise try my download link (or if you used that try to create the file manually as I described.

Crash dump usually means you didn’t create the file with all folders as shown in the OP or you didn’t replace the existing files.

The Capital letters is the commentary, the small letters are the chanting


New thread was started with no commentary but with enhanced crowd sounds/chants here:

What are the files for only the cheering?

As I mentioned I’m not the creator of this.
The best thing to do is use the link to FMScout and ask the creators. The sounds are all easy identifiable so should be possible to isolate them I guess by eliminating all the commentary sound files.

so little question I do not know at all this add ons ..... once in the game you have audio comments? or writing that changes? or something else ??? waiting for your answer ....



Yes, there are new audio sounds (cheering etc.), English live commentary and also the text showing in the commentary bar has changed.
In the link provided from FMScout you can read about the release in more detail.

It's not perfect, sometimes the commentary of the two commentators overlaps but not much that can be done about it.

Great work from the creators of this addition, I use it for every FM version personally

I have an identical problem as yours that just got solved.
I have added multiple new players and pics, with no problem at all, following Mons' suggestions.

The only "player" I have issues with now is another human manager, we play a network game.
I put his picture in the folder (it is a png), which was working fine in FM 2014, and verified the UID is correct 100% and still no luck.

Did the coding for player faces for human managers change or is there another reason for the face not showing up?

As I mentioned, I have added numerous player faces, so I know what I'm doing and supposed to do, but the network manager's face is simply not showing.

Cheers




Resolved in a different way.
As it was the human network manager I took control, added his picture through his login, and after that disconnected him from the game again.
Now it is showing at least, but you would think that there should be a simpler way................................

There's another way of assigning manager faces.

Use the below code in a config file. In the second line from bottom:
Rename your image filename to me, or change "me" in the below code to the filename of the image of the network manager
Instead of "name surname" put the name and surname of the network manager
Instead of dd-mm put his day and month of birth.

That should work, I think...

<record>


	 
	<boolean id="preload" value="false"/>

	 
	<boolean id="amap" value="false"/>

	 
	 

	<list id="maps">
		<record from="me" to="graphics/pictures/person/name surname dd-mm/portrait"/>
	</list>
</record>







Thanks for the quick reply Mons, but that unfortunately didn't work either.
I created a new config file, exactly as you indicated and after that failed I entered the manager's code into the original config file as well, but also without result.
(I obviously also copied the newly named picture in the players folder as well, of course)

I cleared cache, reloaded cache etc. but seems I will just have to live without his ugly picture in the game LOL
It did work normally in FM 2014 with no issues at all, so something must have changed with network managers' coding I guess

I managed to sort it earlier. I reset the settings to default, then added the images as I did before and it corrected itself and added my girlfriend's picture. Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it!

Great skin but how can i use my own backgrounds i have backgrounds for every league and team how can i get this work like in androflux skin?



I assume that what you changed in the Androflux skin to get it to work is not working in my skin, otherwise you wouldn't have asked ;-)
I never use changing backgrounds, makes my screens too busy sometimes, but it's all personal preference.

I found this post that explains in depth how to enable the changes, but haven't tried it myself.

Could you make this work on a laptop screen res as its a great skin :-)



Thanks for the compliment but as it says in the opening post:

"Low(er) resolutions will not be able to display all panels completely because of this and these low(er) resolution are not recommended or supported."

You can try and see how it looks on a (I assume) lower resolution laptop but lower resolutions are not supported as I made this skin for my personal use and it took me days to do so. I'm sorry but simply don't have the time to spend another few days in creating a lower resolution version on special request.
You might try to delete the panels that don't look good when you test it in your laptop resolution, that way you have the default panels to replace the ones I adjusted or created.

#125326 Instant Result Button

Is it possible to add the instant result button to any skin?
Have a couple of skins i like, but want the instant result button on them
Is it possible?

Cheers



Yep, pretty easy actually.

Add this code to the bottom of your "titlebar.xml" in your favorite skin and the button is there:

<!--instant match button-->
<widget class="button" id="INST" size="9" appearance="button/custom/instant/button" width="120" height="20" font="fonts/continue instant" colour="white" alignment="centre" disable_layout_attachments_when_embedded="true">
<translation id="text" translation_id="339740" type="use" value="Instant Result[COMMENT: text for a button that will generate an instant result for the upcoming match rather than having to go through and play it]" />
<record id="click_event" event_id="INST" event_target="glob" />
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="top,right" inset="70" />

<attachment class="test_global_attachment" get_property="sect" mode="1" set_property="hidn">
<list id="value">
<integer value="phtc" />
<integer value="PhcT" />
<integer value="PhcP" />
<integer value="PhcS" />
<integer value="PhcN" />
<integer value="PhcC" />
<integer value="PhcF" />
<integer value="patc" />
<integer value="PacT" />
<integer value="PacP" />
<integer value="PacS" />
<integer value="PacN" />
<integer value="PacC" />
<integer value="PacF" />
</list>
</attachment>
</widget>


If you want to change the position, size etc. edit the "width", "height" values or the "inset" value at "alignment top,right"
I made an minor update for the Champions League skin that contains the button for it in the "graphics" folder as well as an updated "titlebar.xml" file.
Just check it out through the download option.
#125325 Problem with skins

Me and several other folks have this strange problem with any skin except the default one and the base skin: match calendar, league table and some other fixtures have these white bars that makes impossible to read the text.

I thought that the panels folder located in c:\my documents\sports interactive\football manager 2014\ might be producing some kind of conflict with the folder located inside the skins, so I removed it but it didn't work out.

Anyone has any idea about what can be the problem ????


I read on another forum that the issue with the white texts has to do with the official dark skin being installed.
A guy wrote there: "I was having the same problem but finally sorted it out. All i did was remove the official dark skin completly from the computer via the "Downloads" option on the main screen and the steam workshop area, then cleared my cache in preferences then reloaded the skin. now working perfectly!"

Hope this does the trick!

Biography of the player doesn`t show. But the skin look very good. Can you fix that.


Fixed!
Thanks for the feedback, always looking for things that need to be improved.
I have made some other minor changes.

Download this file and extract within the cl2014 folder it will unpack some files for "graphics" folder and "panels".
Overwrite when asked, and it will be fixed and some other changes as well.
I have updated the original posting as well, so you can see what the changes are.

Also, alternative player profile panel available, separate download.

Cheers

No idea why.....
The link is for the panels.
Here is alternative link for download of the panels

Skin should be downloading from

I removed that from the screen in that panel on purpose .
If you want it back you can either delete the file "pre match panel.xml" from the panels folder in the skin or replace it with the one from version 1.0

I wanted a bigger pitch size and never look at the subs at the side there, LOL
So it's not a bug or mistake .....

Hi a31632

First of all I would like to say that your skin is a great skin!!!
Thanks for sharing and also thanks for included me in your post. I much appreciate it and its a honour for me. ;-)



Thanks Flut, I really appreciate getting positive feedback from a fellow "skinner".
You did some great work on your FMC edited skin, and only because I like dark skins better than light ones, I haven't used it much.

I recognized you because of the really nice graphics and tweaks you put into your skin and as I was using parts of it, I wanted to show my thanks to you.

Thanks again!

It's not on Rapidshare.

And when I click "download now" in right top corner it redirects to "getfiles.co.uk"

I really enjoy this skin, but i just can't get the colored attribute stats in the main profile tab in the De Rossi panel, they are all white,
I have to select the attribute tab to see the attribute stats get colorised.

Any help on this issue


Did you try clearing the cache and reloaded the skin?
I tried but couldn't replicate this, so not sure what is causing this.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/ieS1t5mFootlsoYmOEyUeF4YwXvFDMNfO47zMpag.jpg

is there any way I can change the font of the player names/position/value? as you can see I've been messing about with the fonts in the menus but I just can't seem to find a way to change the page I've posted. I've changed all the fonts in the "fonts" folder so I expect the answer could lie in the panels perhaps?

love the way this font has been designed, certainly the best I've seen so far


To be honest I have never messed around with the fonts.
I'm pretty sure the fonts are controlled by the file in the settings folder of the skin, in this case "cl2014 settings.xml"

It starts with identifying all fonts, sizes etc.

Hope this will help ;-)

Speed will be fixed in update, fixing some other bugs and graphical issues.
For resolution problems I will release a separate version.
Some screens I can adjust by making the boxes, faces and logos smaller, for other screens I will have to find a more suitable panel to work with for example 1440x900.

Wasn't intending to create another one, but want to help out....

Will all be done in a week I think, will let you know
