I said “damn near racist” because it's clearly a screw up by Si. An apology and a hotfix is the very least to demand from them.

I've noted the same thing in previous versions of FM, so it appears there are still old ghosts to exorcise, along with the ongoing new ones after 24.2.

You get more ridiculous with every response. You should keep to the phrase “quit while you're behind”, or maybe we'll put it to the vote ?

I would love that to happen, buddy. In my Palace save, Olise, Eze, Edouard and even Zaha at Galatasaray are just some of those, now turned white. I'm staggered there has been no response from Si, so far !

It is truly annoying. It's a known fact that real-llfe players play FIFA/CM. The odds are many of those are black, so I can only imagine how they felt when now they appear white in FM. Still love your humour though, buddy !

Another major issue I should have added to my previous post after the calamitous 24.2 update. Beyond us having to modify regen files and players displaying wrong hair colour and style, is the disgrace of many black players now displaying as white. That's...

So you want to be excused for laziness ? Your “help” from flut was yet another reminder for people to read the read me file. In effect you were wasting his time. Unbelievable !

Regardless of how much time and effort you take to make things obvious and helpful, there will always be those that totally lack any initiative, buddy. We can but try.

I'm fully aware of what you intended, I'd just question why use the time on something with likely little or no appeal ? Whatever, your choice, your time, moving on.

Nice try mate but most colours and designs are wrong.

Oh well, at least Si is back to consistent. Thinking with FM23, we'd seen for the last time, every major update managing to break other areas of the game. Now it's back with a vengeance ! The newgens not working for one and no way from the settings to add...

The ball format in FM22 and prior was “.dds”. If you're using FM23 or FM24, the ball format is “.ping”.

No worries, it's a learning curve for all of us. Any non-default skin can alter the presentation of FM or enhance areas but it simply cannot alter or correct errors that exist in the hard coding of the game.

You're welcome buddy. It's only right we support and contribute to your great work and in understanding a little of what you do. If we can help others and take some of the load off you, post-creation, so to speak, then it's a pleasure. It's also a great s...

I'm not a skinner, so no doubt there's more than one answer to an issue and the man himself naturally knows just about all of them. My setting worked for me, I run at 4k with 125% zoom. Glad you got it sorted.

Monitor/Laptop screens will display differently, depending on the resolution and zoom level you play at. If you cannot drag any further to the left and fully align with the “notable events” panel, you need to go to your match folder and select “match in b...

After watching Premier League games I've tweaked the hi-vis Winter ball.

That has nothing to do with the flutskin, so why post it here ?

Sounds like you've cracked it, buddy. I should have mentioned the bit about replacing the default FC12 2D kits folder in the skin with the SS kit package but I wasn't sure at the time which kits you wanted to use. Give me a shout if have any other issues,...

It appears you're using FC12 kits with the SS kit option activated from the skin “alts” folder. The flutskin default is FC12. I change it because I use and prefer SS kits.

You've done something wrong. Go over it again and check all folders/files are in the right place and check to see which folder is the default for FM to access in the game preferences.

It's a language thing I'm guessing buddy. You said similar regarding the audio commentary. It's “Can you”, which makes it a question and a request. “You can” is a statement. Yes, most balls can be made but make it a question and end it with “please”, so i...

Yes I should have mentioned that but I'm still currently using the original config file.

Firstly I try to find an image with even shading, then adjust colouring that's suitable for a decent showing within the limitations of FM. I use paint.net, it works well and it's free but like any good open source or free software, like flutskin, it's onl...

There's a couple of balls that I'm not keen on. The EPL is too blocky, it doesn't make for a good rolling ball. The FA Cup ball does not present well at all. I've redone both, Summer and Winter. Take your pick.

Not at the moment, it's a manual procedure whereby you have to select the correct ticket for the match you're about to play. Maybe there is a way, wait and see.

In my ball pack I have two zip files, one for Summer ball and the other for the Winter ball. Both balls are named the same, so when the time is appropriate you simply right click the required ball zip file, select “Extract Here” and say yes to overwrite....

This was an occasional issue in FM23 but is a constant in FM24, mainly in the EPL, even when using the ball pack. I found if you change the Winter ball colour to white in the settings then an all white ball only rarely appears.

Hi flut, your skin is so good, there's very little that needs to “improve” for FM24. Thanks again for all your ongoing work.

I may be inspired, as FM24 is looking really good already. As for the balls all being in one place, it has been the case from the start. https://sortitoutsi.net/content/57182/3d-match-ball-update-02-12-2020

Yes, some small errors. As you say button colours and also noted date missing from post match page, otherwise no other differences found.

You won't see a balls folder in the game, you have to create one in “graphics/pictures”. The balls pack here is not an fmf file but a graphical one with a config file.

Not only is the flutskin more or less the same as in FM23 but also glad to report that kits, logos and balls all work well in FM24. Not installed the big files (faces and backgrounds) yet because I was impatient to play ! Hopefully they'll be fine. Loving...

It's always a question of finding the best image to create a decent 3d match ball and most are not available when the manufacturers release a new ball. Also I only focus on British leagues and cup balls. As and when decent images appear, I will do some up...

Oh, that reminds me, I don't think I responded to your comment about match balls. I have no issuses with people attemting to produce match balls. It might even inspire me to have a go if the attempts are poor. Up until now, I've not had the inclination to...

Use the IGE, it's perfect for moving players/managers to their “real” clubs. Also because it's not a database, you keep your save game and career without the need to start a new game.

Yes, you're right, I use the IGE, it's easier and doesn't require you to start a new game. It's not a given that all teams have the data to add a third kit. People think the IGE is simply a way to cheat but I only use it for kits and moving players/manage...

Check your config files for the 2D and 3D kits again and make sure they match exactly with the text of the third kits you've added. Also make sure your new third kits are in Ping (.png) format, not Jpeg (.jpg). If that doesn't work, PM me with your kits a...

Yes but there are many FM users out there who are clueless about file formats, image resolution and editing, so will be confused when images do not display.
