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.

All done now mate and yes, the adboards work too.

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...

Ok, play with the settings in the attached text, until you get the spacing required.

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.

Yes, and you'd need to do the same for the 3D kit, if you want it show in a 3D match.

You need to make your kits in .png not .jpg

You need open the config file (xml) from your 2D kit folder and write a new line for a third kit. The quickest way is to copy and paste the line of the first or second kit and add it below the first or second kit, changing the “home” or “away” to “third”...

Spot on buddy. However, if I try to remind people not to request, I get abuse ! I don't make requests, so I'm guessing what I want is one of the harder ones to create, as you explained. Love your work !

All I did was remind the guy of the request comment regarding the kits. If he'd accepted my reminder it wouldn't have escalated. Third party creators do their work for free and it's right that should not be harassed with requests, otherwise they'll give i...

You mean “without” ? They're jpeg images in any case so need to be converted to ping but I totally agree that redistributing other people's work is pitiful.

Regardless, the Fez pitch textures over at FMScout are better than these ones and you get full instructions.

Yep, either backup the epl ball in the balls folder or overwrite it.
