JR866Gunner Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Hello all i have a quick question about the dlex skin for FM 08 i downloaded this a while ago now and it is really good except one thing is bugging me, when you click on the squad screen on the original skin you get your team appear as usual and it displays their positions of course and along the screen you get appearances and goals as well along with match rating and average rating......... well basically instead of it being appearances and goals on the flex screen, you get potential stars and goals! its bugging me because when i want to see how many games a player for any team has played i had to click on him id rather be able to see the appearances at aglance like on the original skin except have the excellent look of flex!! can anyone help?

jod123 Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 1. Go to the following location on your computer: My Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2008\skins\flex\panels 2. Open the file team squad.xml with notepad 3. Scroll down to the section where value = selection and insert <flags id="Poap"/> <!-- overall appearances --> into just above overall goals section. 4. Save and reload the skin in FM08. If you need any screenshots or any more help just post back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmurfDude Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 As the maker of the skin I can answer this Goto Panels and open 'Team Squad.xml' Find: <string id="name" value="Selection" /> - <record id="view"> <flags id="Ppkd" /> - <!-- picked info --> <flags id="Pnfo" /> - <!-- player status/info --> <flags id="Pnam" /> - <!-- person name --> <flags id="Ppos" /> - <!-- position --> <flags id="Pcac" /> - <!-- currant ability --> <flags id="Pfrm" /> - <!-- player form --> <flags id="Pmor" /> - <!-- player morale --> <flags id="Pcon" /> - <!-- player condition --> <flags id="Pogl" /> - <!-- overall goals --> <flags id="Poav" /> - <!-- overall average rating --> Replace with: <string id="name" value="Selection" /> - <record id="view"> <flags id="Ppkd" /> - <!-- picked info --> <flags id="Pnfo" /> - <!-- player status/info --> <flags id="Pnam" /> - <!-- person name --> <flags id="Ppos" /> - <!-- position --> <flags id="Pfrm" /> - <!-- player form --> <flags id="Pmor" /> - <!-- player morale --> <flags id="Pcon" /> - <!-- player condition --> <flags id="Poap" /> - <!-- overall appearances --> <flags id="Pogl" /> - <!-- overall goals --> <flags id="Poav" /> - <!-- overall average rating --> Save and reload the skin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is current ability stars but that won't eliminate it. It will just add in appearances as well as the stars. You can get rid of the stars as well if you like by deleting this line <flags id="Pcac"/> <!-- currant ability --> only in that selection area. It is various places in the file so ame sure you delete the right one. You say you need more help, how far have you got? Have you found the file to open? EDIT: Follow SmurfDude's advice above which has explained it much better than I have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falkirk Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Just discovered this myself... I love the skin but have been fighting with whether or not I like having the Stars replace the Appearances. I added that: <flags id="Poap"/> <!-- overall appearances --> line to the xml, loaded the skin up and I now have both Stars AND Appearances. I am actually cool with that... however, I am now MISSING the Morale and Form sections. How can I get those back AND keep what I have now? Thanks.

NR-2009 Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 iv heard of the flex skin but not dlex skin as you call it in your opening sentence Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkirk Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I am pretty certain that was a typo on his part, hence the "flex", in the title on the thread. Meh... Anyway, I searched for a fix for this and this thread came up... didn't realise it was in the "wrong forum" either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NR-2009 Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 haha i guessed it was a basic form of sarcasm, you know the lowest form of intelligence. Seems like to many people use too much sarcasm in this forum though but i suppose it matches those peoples sad lives. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkirk Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Sorry to bring this up again... but, is there a way to have BOTH the Stars AND the Games Played stat on the same page? When I added the code above it took out the stars and replaced with matches played. Would kinda like a combination of the two if possible. Thanks.

michaeltmurrayuk Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 It depends on what resolution you are playing in, if your screen resolution is to small then certain fields will be hidden. You can either remove other fields you don't want, increase your resolution. Alternatively you may be able to use this thread to customize the widths of the columns so everything displays - that's for FM09 so it may work but I don't know if any of that coding was new for FM09 so some coding may not work in FM08.
