[FM16][MOD] Match Screen Kits Mod

My latest Match Screen Mod for Football Manager 2016 is another update from FM15 with this one changing the logos on the match screens into kits, and is available in two versions:

Mod 1 - Replaces all Match Screen Logos with Kits this affects Logos shown on the Split Screen Overview Panel and in the Header.

Mod 2 - Just replaces the Logos with Kits on the Split Screen Overview Panel but leaves the Logos in the Header.

You can also get the teamnames to appear on the titlebar (third screenshot below) by downloading Mod 1 of this mod and my Match Titlebar Team Name Mod.

Mod 1 should worth with any FM16 skin including Touch mode skins.

Mod 2 should also work with any FM16 full-mode skin, though if you are using a skin with a custom match titlebar you'll need to modify the files yourself.

If you are using a Touch Mode Skin then just download Mod 1 as the extra file in Mod 2 isn't used in FMT.

Note that these mods don't add kits/logos to the various Overview screens that don't display logos by default it just changes the existing logos to kits.

To apply to your game you just need to download the file for which Mod you want from below, extract the zip file and put the extracted files into the panels folder for the skin you are using, if you are using the Default Skin then download the Base Skin, add the file(s) 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).

After downloading the mods if you want to increase the kit sizes on the overview panels then have a read of this page:

How To Create The Mod

NOTE: These instructions are exactly the same as they were for FM15.

If you just want to download and use the mod download the mod from 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 files that needs to be modified are 'match team logo picture.xml' located in the panels folder extracted from the panels.fmf file and '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. Copy the files into the panels folder for the skin you are using and then edit as below.

To Change the Logos to Kits on any Match Screen (Mod #01)

Open the 'match team logo picture.xml' and locate this line:

And either delete it or comment it out (disables the code) so it looks like this:

That's it the game will now display the kits instead of logos.

To Get the Logos Back onto the Titlebar (Mod #2).

This is brilliant thanks a lot. Is there anyway to make the kits bigger?

Was looking for this, thanks.

Maybe I'm not there I ask .... Why is not the logo or kits?

I presume you are using the Instant Result button in the full mode skins. The kits not appearing there is a bug in the game they will reappear if you refresh the skin, I don't use the instant result so dont know if you'll have to do that after each match or just once.

If you want to remove the non-working kits and get the logos back on that screen you'll need to edit a couple of files in the panels folder;

First edit 'match incidents overview popup left.xml' which is for the home team, locate this line:

<widget class="match_team_logo_picture" id="TeLo" width="60"/>

And replace it with:

<!-- home team main logo -->

<widget class="picture" id="hmtF" scale_picture="true" keep_aspect_ratio="true" height="60" width="60" image_alignment="left, centre_y">

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

<record id="object_property">

<integer id="get_property" value="htpc" />

<integer id="set_property" value="file" />

</record>

</widget>

Then edit 'match incidents overview popup right.xml' which is for the away team, locate this line again:

<widget class="match_team_logo_picture" id="TeLo" width="60"/>

And now replace it with:

<!-- away team main logo -->

<widget class="picture" id="awtF" scale_picture="true" keep_aspect_ratio="true" height="60" width="60" image_alignment="left, centre_y">

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

<record id="object_property">

<integer id="get_property" value="atpc" />

<integer id="set_property" value="file" />

</record>

</widget>

Then save the files and reload your skin and the logos should be back (you can adjust the height/width values to resize the logos if need be).

Thanks) But I would like there to see the kits of the logo instead of how to do it?

I downloaded the skin dark, and wanted to exchange the shields of times the kits. Not only managed to increase the size of the kits. What I do?

Maybe I'm not there I ask .... Why is not the logo or kits?

The problem is still not solved ... I tried to put different skins and nowhere to run kits or logo. Why?

You cannot the game won't read the kit data on that panel unless you reload the skin, there is no way for you to fix it, it will need to be fixed by SI the best thing to do is to raise the issue in the bugs forum (though as its not a default feature then it might not be fixable).

You need to download which version of the mod you want from the opening post and follow the instructions to install it.

How to remove this colored boxes behind club names in title bar? Can that be done? And how to fix team name color, f.e. to black or white?
