@Footygamer The player search is a bit wonky for some names. I tried searching for “Pedro De Souza” which should find this guy. I don`t see a reason why it wouldn't find him 😕

@krissmed The 2023 photoshoot is on their site but I can't find any of the others that are pending from this pack, did they all leave the club? https://fotball.florosk.no/category/32

No idea. Although looking at their tranfers, it look like there has been a lot of transfers in and out

@krissmed, this image actually seems to be for Hassan Bashir, going by the team's official website.

 

Do you have any image for Kruse so we can replace it?

 

No sorry, I can't find anything 😢

@krissmed Guy or Girl? A

As Jamie could refer to either…

Sorry, forgot that it might not be obvious in English. It's the guy.

@mons  Add Mads Dahm player cutout to Mads Dahm staff. I have a new source, but I'll wait until the backlog is manageable 👍

I came across this website. It replaces URL strings to get larger images, just like this thread is doing. I don't know how comprehensive it is nor if it covers the websites that are used here, but nevertheless a good resource.

 

There's a firefox extension as well.

@mons There is no way to cut even 180x180 from this photo. I couldn't find any better source either.

Is this big enough?

@krissmed where's a completed version from my source?

 

I accepted the one above and that set your source to completed. Nothing intentional

@Enzu225 Use the large image filter when using google to see if there is a larger version of the image. Have a look here

Those three links are fine as dropdowns, it's pretty common practice.

 

The alt tags would help a little but not really, especially where we don't care about the images being in google image search.

 

Accessibility, I don't worry too much about screen readers etc since FM isn't accessible itself.

 

That's not to say it's not important, but in terms of priorities it's pretty low for me.

Fair enough

Also what SEO issues are you seeing in lighthouse? I'm not seeing alot…

 

It's the crawlable links, as well as not having alt on some images on the page. The missing alt is also an issue for accessibility

Just curious, why do you use png for all images on the page? Why not use webp or jpg? From what I could gather, those are much better to use on the web (source).

 

Edit: Nevermind, I see now that after you have integrated bunny, most images has been converted to webp.

Those 10 kb saved obviously wouldn't have any significant impact for individual users, but those are likely downloaded millions of times a month, which does turn into a couple of gigabytes combined.

 

That said, I still think you should look into the accessibility and SEO issues mentioned in the lighthouse report.

25x18 is the size the game uses and we just use those images. I don't think there's a massive reason to resize again for 18x18 for the site, but it could be done.

 

For the files listed in assets/graphic_styles these have been compressed manually using https://tinypng.com/ . The uncompressed versions are actually saved in a directory lower called “un compressed” if you want to compare yourself.

 

Here is SS Kits 200kb vs 14kb:

 

If you run it through again, it becomes 10kb, although i'm not particularly keen on recompressing compressed images.

 

I can't tell what your screenshot is showing other than the images are listed, it's not recommending a better size is it?

 

It's on the todo list to look into https://bunny.net/ however I tried to migrate all images and resizing to cloudflare images in November but it was less flexible and more expensive than I thought and I imagine bunny could be similar but it's hard to estimate beforehand.

 

Right now the cost is almost zero to us since Cloudflare cache the images, it can escalate to 4 figures per month with some of these tools and CDNs.

 

Resizing ourselves is something we already for for thumbnails, but not for all the icons and with multi sizes and responsive srcset due a mix of time and effort and disk space.


So yes it's something i've looked into and am aware of but not necessarily something i'm prioritising 😀

My bad, I thought that the icon was 1x1 like the larger cutouts/logos. 

 

On the front page, as well as the downloads menu, I see that you used 180x180 images and resized them to 50x50, so those could be downsized serverside and save some bandwidth, right?

 

I'm only saying this in case you didn't know and wanted to save some bandwidth and in turn, save some money. If you don't think it's something worth prioritizing, that's your call 👍

@Footygamer I might be nitpicking here, but some PNGs on the site can be optimized. 

  • Player faces and logos can be trimmed down from 25x18 to 18x18.
  • On the front page, the graphics png can be trimmed down as well, possibly also resized.

 

Also, using the lighthouse extension I get some accessibility and SEO issues as well. I don't know how difficult to resolve them, so it's up to you whether they're worth the hassle.

I don't have much experience with skin-making, so I don't think I'm the right person to ask. I know that you previously could take a panel from one skin and copy/paste it to another, although, I don't know if that works between different versions. 

 

Besides, as @Footygamer said, I don't know how difficult this would be, so by the time I finish this, we could already be closing in on FM23.

Is there possibly a better way of doing this? Maybe the ability to give an entire status to clubs and leagues and logs of what date it was checked.

 

Only just save this thread for the first time 🙂

I know that some teams/leagues/nations use standardized website layouts (like here: Rosenborg, Lillestrøm, Stabæk). It's possible to see whenever a site like this is updated with new images and give a notification whenever new photos are uploaded.

 

I see that this is already possible with paid service

@Rob2312 It's usually best to transfer to the first team when the second team doesn't have players. 

 

I don't know if transferring to second teams messes stuff up in-game, but at least it's listed better on the site.

@Footygamer Could you make a changelog for the pages that have been updated (or created) from now on? It would help a lot with keeping the design up to date with the website. You don't need to say exactly what has changed, but just to let us know that a site has changed.
