#607566 FM 2021 FLUT skin dark - Version 16.0

I've got an interesting issue that I've mentioned before during the use of the previous version (2.1) of Flutskin: Now I'm using Flutskin 2.2 and that's the only skin in my \skins\ folder. Yet, this is how the match stats show up in my matches. When I click the stats button during a match, the panel opens up and for half a second it's got the regular background, but then it fades into this almost transparent style which is near-impossible to see and read. 😢


I actually got rid of the transparency by grabbing the left edge of the panel and dragging it to the right - making the stats panel a bit narrower. That made the background color reappear. Strange, huh?

@bartdude
I guess mate well fingers crossed both he and flut can get their skins back to how they want them because for me football manager isn’t the same without their skins. I hope sports interactive realise one day that they put out the product but it’s the hard work of all the modding community that takes the game to the next level.


Absolutely true!

Hi all: only now I could look at your comments and the reported problem. I also quickly load my game and is also slow. I don't know why but as soon as possible I will try to do something. I don't know if I will be able to manage that problem but I believe bartdude is right. So, I promise to analyse and try to solve or, at least, attenuate that problem. Is a shame. SI every years "kill" the skins edited by FM fans!! Sorry for that problems but I really unexpected them. 😢


I truly believe the issue is in their end and not to be blamed on your excellent skin. I've posted on the Steam forums as a reply to the latest patch and urge others to do the same to show SI how many players are suffering from this problem. That should (hopefully) force them to take notice and work on some sort of patch soon.

Segunda B from Spain is missing in the config file

You must replace "Tercera" in the place "la liga 2" like that :

<record from="tercera" to="graphics/pictures/balls/69/default"/>
<record from="tercera" to="graphics/pictures/balls/70/default"/>
<record from="tercera" to="graphics/pictures/balls/71/default"/>
<record from="tercera" to="graphics/pictures/balls/72/default"/>

and add another line to put the spain segunda ball like that :

<record from="la liga 2" to="graphics/pictures/balls/68/default"/>

because that line isn't in the XML and if you choose a Segunda team from Spain doesn't show the ball of Spain segunda division...

Cheers...


So, did I get it right when I edited the config's Spain section like this?

<!-- Spain - La Liga -->
<record from="la liga" to="graphics/pictures/balls/67/default"/>

Odd glitch, almost fully transparent & unreadable statistics/info window during a match...

I know Flut doesn't currently have time to answer questions because they're busy with the next version of the skin, but would someone else happen to know how to fix the following issue:

I use the latest Flut skin (dark, 2.0). Yesterday when I played a match in FM 21, I opened the small statistics/rating/body language etc. info window on top of the match view, but this time the info layer/window that opened was so transparent that I could hardly see the outlines of it and could not read any data from it or make out the buttons in it. I tried closing it and opening it again, pressing play and pausing a bit later and then opening the stats, but it stayed bugged out for the rest of the match. It really made the rest of the match difficult for me, since I couldn't see the stats and make tactical tweaks based on the information.

Has anyone else had an issue like this?

i have done this on mine but id like it to go up some more how do i get the number and name to move up some more please


I'd wager that would require changing of the value of the following row:
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="top" inset="4"/>
Not sure what way, though. Maybe minus something or perhaps a positive number. You can test a value of 15 and if the number moves the wrong way, then maybe -10 would be better...?

For number you should edit

<!-- player number -->
<widget class="picture" id="bNUM" image_alignment="centre" scale_picture="true">
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="top" inset="4"/>
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="left" inset="93"/>
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="vertical" inset="0" />
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" inset="95" />

first reduce the value 95. After you obtain the size you want, you should also change the values of left and right to adjust the number in the right place.



Thanks! As reference for anyone else trying to adjust the number size and position, this looks good for me:

<!-- player number -->
<widget class="picture" id="bNUM" image_alignment="centre" scale_picture="true">
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="top" inset="4"/>
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="left" inset="73"/>
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="vertical" inset="0" />
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" inset="75" />

Hi mate, any idea when the updated version for FM21 might be available? thanks


As they mentioned in the same post you replied to, it's quite a big job updating the placement of the FM 21 stadiums' ad boards, so it could take a while. Fortunately, the ad boards can be installed and updated without having to start a a new save, so until it's ready we'll have the next best thing, the current FM 20 version of adboards, at our disposal.

Are you talking about this? I believe it's not out yet, but you can get more players in your save by using the advanced database option. Hereis guide on it. It starts about 6:30.


I'm using the FM 20 huge database file on FM 21 and it works fine.
It loads in about 5000 more players into the starting database.

Exactly. This community is all about enjoying a video game about football and our strength comes from unity. Please try and put your differences aside or at least agree to disagree, since we all may have our own view of certain political matters and arguing those things on this forum doesn't really help anyone.

I've downloaded the pack and will look into it more when I have time, but initially I noticed few subfolder names with French-style letters like "é" which FM unfortunately cannot read, so those letters must be changed to regular "e" and so on. (I've come across similar issues with kits that are named in Spanish or German and have those special alphabets that FM can't understand written either in the kit name or in the config, or both.)

If you could list the shirts which don't work, it'll help me check the filenames and the config files and figure out why that is. Thanks!

I'll try if this works when I get to playing friendlies in my save, but if anyone wants to test it out right away, you can add this to the config.xml of the ball pics and see if it shows up correctly in a friendly match:

<!-- Friendly matches -->
<record from="(file name of the ball you want to be used in friendlies)" to="graphics/pictures/balls/104551/default"/>

I suspect there might be a problem with the winter ball showing. Need to investigate. Also getting the generic ball to show for friendlies and any leagues/competitions not covered in the pack.


I believe friendly matches have a specific ID like any other type of competition. When I click the word "Friendly" in any team schedule, the ID on the Friendly "page" is 104551. Maybe by using that code to specify a ball it could be assigned to all friendly matches?

Sorry, got two things wrong: renaming the stadium name mid-save doesn't actually remove the club's nickname. Also, I put the club ID in my "City, Club and Stadium Names.lnc" file instead of the stadium ID. Here's the corrected line:

# Napoli
"STADIUM_NAME_CHANGE" 1229 "Stadio Diego Armando Maradona" ""

You can change stadium names simply through an lnc file, hence part of the name of one of the lnc files included in this download 😉

That's not quite correct.
a) Changing the stadium name doesn't affect the club nickname, which is only removed if you change the club name
b) That UID you used is the club's. It's the stadium's which you want to use 😉


# Napoli
"STADIUM_NAME_CHANGE" 1229 "Stadio Diego Armando Maradona" ""

is what you want to add.


Oh, whoops. 🙂 Thanks for the corrections!

I feel like each year I have less and less time to actually enjoy the game.

I just had Steam install an update to FM 21 and it seems to have added/changed these files in the \database\db\2110\dbc\ and \database\db\2111\dbc\ folders: argentina, canada, portugal, russia, south korea and york.

Should the most recent Real Name Fix be re-applied over the changed folders or does this require a new version of the fix?

Thanks for the great work!
