Changing Tactics Screen to Non Perspective

I have a problem with the tactics screen whereby it's pretty slow loading due to it being rendered in perspective.

I've been told this can be changed by amending the tactics_panel??

Has anyone had any success doing this?

Does anyone know where this file is located as I cannot find it?

I would prefer to have the tactics screen the same as FM09 - though I would like to be aware of any knock on effects.

yeah, it's pretty easy to change this - I did it for my skin Kaskara. The panel is "tactic panel.xml" - no underscore or plural on "tactic" and the bit to change is roughly a third of the way through the xml:

 <widget class="pitch_with_tactics" id="ptch">
         <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" inset="0" />
         <boolean id="vert" value="true"/>
         <integer id="pprd" value="3"/>
         <boolean id="pitch_use_player_kit" value="true" />
         <boolean id="pitch_use_curved_tactics_runs" value="false" />
         <boolean id="perspective" value="true" />

- just change the "true" on that last line to "false".

If you have the resource archiver, you can get a copy of this file in the main panels folder for FM2010.

Excellent thanks.

Does the pitch then render the same as FM09 without any other impact?

I like all the additional graphics in the rendered view but just want to speed up navigation to the screen.

So wait... does this fix mean that it doesn't take ages to go to the tactics screen yet it works in roughly the same way? So you can still interact with it in terms of right clicking to change a players "role" such as changing "attack midfielder" to "inside forward"

Thanks

Yes the tactics screen pitch keeps all its new features (offside flags, passing arrows, yellow highlight and right click roles) doing the above change just makes the pitch flat like it used to be.

Wow, this really does make going to the tactics screen quicker, thanks for this murray.

How did you get this working?

I take it it's not a simple change of an XML? You need to use the resource archiver as if making a new skin?

That's excellent but where does this file go!

Sorry, not done much editing of XML's.

You ideally need a new skin and then put the file in the panels directory of that skin.

If you like using the default skin then download the skin in the stickied post at the top of this forum.

Exactly!

If you are using the default skins then it should also work if you create a panels folder within your User Data Folder and put the file in the created folder, load the game turn off the skin cache and reload your skin and the change should take affect.

This works really well is there an xml change that will increase the length of the arrows? The ones showing how your focus play is set!

Sorry to bump an old thread. But, how come when doing this, it gets rid of the A, S and D letters from the boxes on the players, instead having them in a disgusting black font next to the shirt?

I saw a screenshot on the forums of someone who had the perspective changed and it worked like normal:

How can I get it like this? I extracted the panels fmf and took the tactic panel.xml. Edited it as told by murray above, yet it doesn't look like this.

The file was updated in the patch so you need to extract the panels.fmf file from this location: \data\updates\update-1020\data and edit the tactic panel.xml file which is within that panels.fmf file.

I got crazy idea.

What if I want in tactical view (independently being in perspective or not) to instead the jerseys to appear the picture of the player.

Is that even possible?

No you can change the shirts and styles per team but it's not possible to have the players picture display (well you can change the graphic to a player picture but it will be the same picture for each player).

Guys, I'm using the steam fm09 skin on fm10, I can't find the file in order to edit the config, anyone help me out please?

Here's the file

what is the name of this skin?

Does anyone know the file for changing the same thing in the 'match prep' screen?

Have a look at the same thing (perspective=false) in match preparation current tactic.xml and pitch tactics component.xml - both have the pitch views that can be modified this way.

Hmm where is the 'match preparation current tactic' xml?

I dont see it in the panels section of the base skin or dark skin.

Cheers.

You need to use the resource archiver to extract the panels as they are not part of the normal skin panels.

Thanks, found it.
