[FM16][MOD] FM16 Match Titlebar Team Names Mod

FM16 Match Titlebar Team Names Mod

This is a simple mod that restores the Team Names to the Match Titlebar in Football Manager 2016, and you have two options:

Team Names and Logos:

Team Names and Logos, plus a Competition Logo:

They are designed to work on skins based on the Default FM16 skins, for skins that have a different match titlebar from the default you'll need to modify the files yourself. NOTE: These won't work in FMT mode skins as they don't use this panel.

Please note that if you are playing on a smaller resolution certain options on the action bar might be cut off at certain points, however these items just appear in the drop down menu like the first screenshot (which was taken at 1024x768) meaning they are still available to select.

To apply to your game you just need to download the file for which version you want from below, extract the zip file and put the 'match title bar.xml' file in the panels folder for the skin you are using, if you are using the Default Skin then download the Base Skin, add the file to that skin and switch to the Base Skin in game. (If you have the skin cache on you may need to turn it off and reload your skin for the changes to show up).

Note if the Skin you are using already has a 'match title bar.xml' file you'll need to follow the advanced instructions further down to create the mod on your own as overwriting your skins custom match titlebar may cause problems.

How To Create the Mods

NOTE: These instructions are the same as for FM15, however you cannot just use the FM15 files as the other coding in this file has changed.

If you just want to download and use the mod download the above link, the below instructions are only for people who want to know what coding needs changing to create the mod, or are using an unsupported custom skin.

The file that needs to be modified is 'match title bar.xml' located in the panels folder of the skin you are using, if the file isn't present then you can extract the file from the panels folder of the fm skin located within the skins.fmf file.

To Add the Competition Logo, locate this bit of code:

And above that paste in the following code:

To Add the Home Team Name (and Background Colouring) locate this bit of code:

And REPLACE it with the following code:

To add the Away Team Name (and Background Colouring) locate this bit of code:

And REPLACE it with the following code:

And that is it, you can also modify the values of various bits of the new code to adjust the logo sizes, style of the background and font sizes. Whilst if you wish to try and free up some extra space locate the various lines that look like this:

And adjust the width value, these just create some spacing between the various items, with the value being how many pixels wide the space should be.

Hi,

I'm editing team names on my scoreboard - I want them not be recolored according to team colours, I'd like to have them both grey and that they stay grey in every match.

I've been editing match title bar score.xml, I've changed this:

<!--away team name -->

<widget class="text_button" id="T2nm" size="9" multiline="false" auto_size="horizontal" alignment="right,centre_y" click_event="atac" style="semi_bold">

<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="vertical" inset="0" />

</widget>

into this:

<!--away team name -->

<widget class="text_button" id="T2nm" size="9" multiline="false" auto_size="horizontal" alignment="right,centre_y" click_event="atac" style="semi_bold" colour="grey">

<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="vertical" inset="0" />

</widget>

but that didn't work..

Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you.

Hi Michael, any reason this would happen when adding your mod? conflicting with something perhaps?

Is it possible to add team names without adding background colouring? And what I need to remove from given codes?

That was my first idea, but I don't have anything on that location. Any suggestions?

<!--home team background colour-->

<widget class="picture" id="T1bp" auto_size="vertical" file="boxes/custom/interface/tab bar/paper" cached="true" rthr="68">

<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="horizontal" inset="0" />

<layout class="centre_in_parent_attachment" alignment="vertical" inset="0" />

</widget>

<container>

<layout class="arrange_horizontal_attachment" alignment="left" gap="0" offset="0" />

<layout class="fit_children_attachment" alignment="horizontal,fill" offset="0" gap="0" />

<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" inset="0" />

<container width="5" />

Deleted this, I think it will finish the job. Thanks.

Nope, this was too much. Didn't help. I ****ed up somewhere.

Yeah, just tried that. It's looking good. Is there any way to fix colour of team names?
