Custom Squad Screen

[Railz]

i need some help please!

I extracted C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009\data\updates\update-910\data\panels.fmf to My Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009\panels

i downloaded PGB_SPURS's http://files.filefront.com/team+squa.../fileinfo.html

then copied it over the 'team squad.xml' (and renamed it with the correct space, so its not team_squad.xml)

i then....

Untick skin cache and tick reload skin on confirm. Then confirm and then go back into it and re-tick skin cache and untick reload skin on confirm!

yet nothing has changed at all!

where am i going wrong??

im using the default skin btw

[Railz]

OOOPS nevermind, it works... i didnt click the customised option in views lol

Excellent thread. Very useful..

Regarding team squad, I want to modify the general view so that I can have all of my relevant information showing. I'm using a 1024 x 768 display (old school I know). Does anybody know how much width I have to play with using the general view?

The idea is that I can then specifiy a width for all of the columns that I want to see to ensure they all turn up.

It's just a case of trial and error. Start with the most important stuff and work from there. With that resolution don't expect to have a lot of space to play with, however.

I would also suggest that instead of editing the general view, you add a new menu, named say 'Vital Info', in case it all goes tits up.

Will do, thanks.

I've also got a related question specific to the Dark Horizon skin. On the squad screen, the first option on the "views" option is UID, then General, then Contract etc.

How would I go about removing UID altogether? I can see why it may be useful for some people, but I always click on it accidently, having had General as option 1 for numerous years now!

Presumably this is to do with the .xml files too?

You need to edit the team squad.xml file.

I have not tested that particular skin but this is the code of the default panel.

							<record id="unid">
						<boolean id="hidden" value="true" />
						<string id="name" value="Unique IDs" />

						<record id="view">
							<flags id="duni"/> <!-- unique id -->
							<flags id="Pnam"/> <!-- name -->
							<flags id="Pclb"/> <!-- person club -->
							<flags id="Pnat"/> <!-- nationality -->
							<flags id="Pdva"/> <!-- value -->
						</record>


						<record id="table_properties">
							<integer id="block_count" value="1" />
						</record>
					</record>

Maybe the <boolean id="hidden" value="true" /> part is missing or the value is false.

Hey Mons

I've downloaded your file and used the resource tool to extract the necessary files but I just can't get the custom squad view to appear in the game.

I'd appreciate if anybody could write out a step-by-step guide to installing it.

ps I followed the instructions in the 2nd post in this thread but, alas, I still couldn't get the custom view to work.

I'm using Steklo's FM09 skin. And I'm putting the files in the panel folder for that skin.

Thanks and I appreciate any input anybody has to offer.

[Vond]

Similar problems as Proteus, trying to get Mons custom tactics_person_list.xml file to work with Flex09 skin with no luck so far. I've put the file into Flex09's panels directory, and also tried creating a panels directory in My Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 09 dir and putting it there but no luck so far. Am using a custom team_squad.xml file with no problems, it's only this tactics view that refuses to work for some reason.

[Proteus]

Do you put team squad.xml and mons' custom file in both the left and right folders for custom skins? For example, I've put both files in Steklo's left and right panel folders.

I messed around for hours last night and I still can't get mons' custom squad view to appear. SI should allow users of FM to create a custom view from within the game. That would be great.

Cheers

[stvndysn]

im having problems with the downloaded team_squad.xml as well, i have put my display has 1280x800, and i cant see the "custom" menu.

do i have to add it in the squad.xml

edit: sorted it was the _ between team squad lol

[gillsminnow]

try deleting the underscore in the file name?

[stvndysn]

try deleting the underscore in the file name?

i already said that dude,

[Justice96]

Can anyone help me with Where you get the id's from?

Example how did you find out

Pnam = person name

Ppos = position

I am looking for the ID for fixtures at the moment but it would be handy to know how you get them for the furure

[michaeltmurrayuk]

The file they are in is commented with what the code stands for.

[Davidian]

Proteus ,

I use Stelko Skin but have not put the files into the Stelko panel folder. Instead I have created a new panel folder under Documenta and Settings / Owner / My Documents / Sports Interactive / Football Manager 2009.

In this folder I now have 2 XML files :-

tactic person list

team squad

The views work apart from having to adjust column widths to take account of my 1024 x 768 resolution.

davidian

[jbrowes]

If you pasted that on a blank xml file it's not working. You need the original team squad.xml file extracted from the panels.fmf of the update folder of the 910 patch. After you extract that file with resource archiver you should add those lines in the team squad.xml file.

Just read carefully post nr.3 on this thread.

Absolute newbie - resource archiver tool - please can you advise how exactly to extract the original team squad.xml file to my desktop. Afer that I think I can follow the editing iinstructions in notepad.

By the way, I use a skin called Tummia in case it makes a difference.

[jbrowes]

Have managed to get team squad.xml file extracted and on my desktop.

But it is a mile long and covers just about everything in the game! Any suggestions?

Thanks Davidian.

I will give this a try and let you know how I get on.

I appreciate your help.

Proteus,

My mistake - the folder name is panels - not panel

Where can i find a player profile xml like this...because i dont like facepacks...

Ps - Disable faces...Thanks to Matt

[jbrowes]

I've been playing around with this quite a bit over the past two days - will post my updates in probably 1-2 days for people to look at over the weekend.

If you're getting something that does not display, e.g., value, its because your total widths exceed your available size. You need to remove elements, or specify more (smaller-than-default) widths.

Is it possible to use windowed mode with larger resolution i.e. wider screen. Only seems to be one size option in preferences.

[canvey!!]

My resolution is 1440 x 900 pixels, and I play in windowed mode.

[Braumiller]

Hey all,

Could anyone help me out and post what the ID / code is for adding player reputation?

Looking to use this thread as a guide for adding it to a customized player search / scout screen

Cheers!

[jbrowes]

My resolution is 1440 x 900 pixels, and I play in windowed mode.

How did you manage to get the non-standard windowed resolution to work?

[canvey!!]

I just used the option in Preferences. It may depend on the size of your monitor, I have a wide one.

Still have yet to find the answer to this (so if anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated still).

My new current player search screen now looks like this - http://img139.imageshack.us/my.php?image=playersearchjq2.jpg

The reputation shown there is the non-player reputation, which for all 20+ players I have checked is one level below their playing reputation (i.e. displaying Continental means a playing rep of Worldwide etc...)

[drewgraham]

Drag the window to resize it, as you would any other.

[canvey!!]

You don't understand - I'm not having problems. I'm helping jbrowes.

Me having a widescreen monitor is to do with me being able to play windowed (which I am), not the window being too small.

You can download the CSV from here if you like:

http://www.drewgraham.net/external/fm/Unique%20Panel%20Attributes.csv

I also discovered an attribute of:

auto_hide_priority="1000"

Can someone expand on that?

Also, there is the width="XX" attribute for a record rather than a flag. Are there any other attributes?

Braumiller, what panel is it you have edited to get your search screen like this? I'm looking to do it also but cant seem to find the correct config file.

Thanks

[michaeltmurrayuk]

The auto_hide command allows you to tell the game which columns are the most important if you don't have enough screen space to show them all, changing the value will change the priority (cannot remember which way around it goes, or whether lines without the autohide code are given higher priority).

There's a min width command (the full command should be in the thread somewhere, or at least in the files themselves) and there should also be a max width command, there maybe more but thats what I remember from the top of my head.

I was wondering if someone would be able to help me.

I have been trying to customise my squad screen, but the player value column doesn't show. I thought it might have been because the columns were too wide but I changed the width of a couple of them but it still didn't show, I have uploaded a pic of my team screen.

http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/7639/squadselectionscreenyv5.jpg

I have also copied the code from the XML file below.

<!-- shown for club teams -->

<record id="sltn">

<string id="name" value="Selection[COMMENT: button in view_menu on squad screens; choose to view club stats]"/>

<record id="view">

<flags id="Ppkd"/> <!-- picked info -->

<flags id="Pnfo"/> <!-- player status/info -->

<record id="Pnam" width="-1" /> <!-- person name -->

<flags id="Ppos"/> <!-- position -->

<flags id="Pcon"/> <!-- player condition -->

<flags id="Pmor"/> <!-- player morale -->

<flags id="Page"/> <!-- player age -->

<flags id="Pcac"/> <!-- current ability -->

<flags id="Poap"/> <!-- overall appearances -->

<flags id="Pogl"/> <!-- overall goals -->

<flags id="Poas"/> <!-- overall assists -->

<flags id="Pomo"/> <!-- overall man of the match -->

<flags id="Pfrm"/> <!-- player form -->

<flags id="Poav"/> <!-- overall average rating -->

<flags id="Pcww"/> <!-- wage -->

<record id="Pdva" width="55" /> <!-- player value -->

</record>

I was wondering if there was something I was missing.

[jimbo22]

It looks like you'll have to do more "width" commands.

Here is what my list of commands looks like

<record id="Ppkd" width="60"/> <!-- picked info -->

<record id="Ppsq" width="35"/> <!-- preferred squad number-->

<record id="Psnu" width="40"/> <!-- squad number -->

<flags id="Pnam"/> <!-- person name -->

<record id="Ppos" width="80"/> <!-- position -->

<record id="Pbpc"/> <!-- best position -->

<record id="Page" width="35"/> <!-- person age -->

<flags id="Pnfo"/> <!-- player status/info -->

<flags id="Pnat"/> <!-- person nationality -->

<record id="Piap" width="40"/> <!-- player int apps -->

<record id="Pigl" width="45"/> <!-- player int goals -->

<flags id="Pcac"/> <!-- currant ability -->

<record id="Pmor" width="85"/> <!-- player morale -->

<flags id="Pfrm"/> <!-- player form -->

<record id="Pcon" width="35"/> <!-- player condition -->

<flags id="Poap"/> <!-- overall appearances -->

<record id="Pomo" width="40"/> <!-- overall man of match -->

<record id="Pogl" width="35"/> <!-- overall goals -->

<record id="Poas" width="35"/> <!-- overall assists -->

<record id="Poav" width="50"/> <!-- overall average rating -->

<record id="Pdva" width="65"/> <!-- value -->

The best thing to do is put a record command in and experiment with a width to see what it does to each section.

[arsenal_2111]

I edited the Selection view, but would like to see the normal one again, as well as my custom one.

Firstly, is it possible to make my own one from scratch? If so,what isthe Record ID for the new one, if I wanted to call it Custom Selection?

Could anyone post a screenshot of the normal Selection screen, before any editing please?

I edited that to make my own(was very proud:D) but decided I wuld like that back, so have made one called Custom.

But I can't find out what the orginal columns were for Selection on FM09.

Thanks:)

[arsenal_2111]

Also, I have the following code:

						<record id="sltn"> 
						<string id="name" value="Selection[COMMENT: button in view_menu on squad screens; choose to view club stats]"/>
						<record id="view">
							<flags id="Ppkd" width="-1"/> <!-- picked info -->
							<flags id="Ppsq"/> <!-- preferred squad number-->
							<flags id="Pnfo" width="-1"/> <!-- player status/info -->
							<flags id="Psnu" width="-1"/> <!-- squad number -->
							<flags id="Pnam" width="-1"/> <!-- person name -->
							<flags id="Ppos" width="-1"/> <!-- position -->
							<flags id="Pcon" width="-1"/> <!-- player condition -->
							<flags id="Pmor" width="-1"/> <!-- player morale -->
                                                               <flags id="Poap" width="-1"/> <!-- overall appearances -->
                                                               <flags id="Pogl" width="-1"/> <!-- overall goals -->
							<flags id="Poas" width="-1"/> <!-- overall assists -->
							<flags id="Pomo" width="-1"/> <!-- overall man of match -->
							<flags id="Poav" width="-1"/> <!-- overall average rating -->
							<flags id="Pdva" width="-1"/> <!-- player value -->
						</record>              

Which leaves me with this. That is on windowed mode, on the smallest screen possible. I can't extend the screen any more or I get loads of crashes, annoyingly.

What numbers would I put into <flags id="Pnam" width="-1"/> <!-- person name --> to make it fit as close as it can to the end of the longest name?(please say if that doesn't make sense)

The screenshot shows the above without morale or value, so ideally I would like to be able to fit them on.

EDIT: If it isn't possible to make the widths as small as they can be, is there anyway to get rid of the text on the 'morale' column, so it is just an arrow rather than an arrow and words?

[jimbo22]

First thing arsenal. Your width commands wont work because they have "flags id" instead of "record id"

You can experiment with the widths. Thats what I did with my screen when I was making it up.

Add in a value, save the file and reload your skin to see what effect it has on the columns.

You could copy some of the lines from my list above. Most of those widths are set to the smallest they can be so they display correctly.

I knew it was going to be something stupid!

Thanks, I'll probably be able to sort it now.

EDIT: I've changed it around a bit, it works fine now. I'll post screenies when done:)

EDIT AGAIN: I've set it up so only the arrows show on 'Morale', but as Morale is too long for the title it is just ...

Is there any way I can rename it so it appears as Mrl?

EDIT AGAIN, um, AGAIN?: I decided to leave it, so here is my final screen. I'm really pleased with it, even if it is quite hard to see some of the things:)

[chrishunt1212]

<flags id="Pnat"/> <!-- person nationality -->

<record id="Piap" width="40"/> <!-- player int apps -->

Thanks for your help Jimbo22, I have managed to do it. I ended up removing the wage column and then the form column appeared, the value still hasn't but I think thats because I don't have a widescreen monitor as yet, so there isn't enough room for it.

I have also used a couple of the columns that you had in your pic, hope you don't mind

I will post a new screenshot when I get a chance.

[nelsonmcjones]

Will do, thanks.

I've also got a related question specific to the Dark Horizon skin. On the squad screen, the first option on the "views" option is UID, then General, then Contract etc.

How would I go about removing UID altogether? I can see why it may be useful for some people, but I always click on it accidently, having had General as option 1 for numerous years now!

Presumably this is to do with the .xml files too?

Think I found a solution. Insert the following line of code at line 57 of the team squad.xml file.

<boolean id="hidden" value="true" />

Seems to fix it but I haven't tested extensively.

On the subject of Dark Horizons, does anyone know what to edit to change the colour of the marker in the 'veiws' drop-down menu?

Edit: Sorry that's not irony. Too bright would be irony.......

[ChefRobGaming]

2 thing can anyone tell me how to remove the last 5 game button thing from the squad screen and the next thing is on previous versions you could have you squad so it default set to list from gk etc down to strikers basically the squad you pick from top to bottom any ideas how to do this ?

thanks in advance

[canvey!!]

To the second query: Click on the top of the 'Pkd' column to filter by picked players. Then hold down Shift and click on the 'Position' column to filter the remaining players by their position. I'm pretty sure that's what you meant.

[ChefRobGaming]

there is a way it can be set by 'default' by doing something in one of the xml but Ill try this way

[canvey!!]

I think it is set to default but sometimes I accidentally muck it up and that ^ is the way to fix it if you do so.

[ChefRobGaming]

cheers mate it will work until someone helps me with a xml

[TorBliz1]

cheers mate it will work until someone helps me with a xml

What you're looking for is in "team squad.xml", and it's right near the bottom of the file. Mine looks like this:

<!-- default sort by playing position (primary), then picked position, then name -->

<list id="default_sort_column" >

<integer value="Ppkd" />

<integer value="Pcac" />

<integer value="Ppos" />

<integer value="Pnam" />

I sort by picked, current ability, position, name - I just never bothered to change the description.

[ChefRobGaming]

awesome thank you so much for the help guys

[Stephanie McMahon's Secret Lover]

Does anyone know the correct code for REPUTATION as Pcrp does not work properly?

It seems to give the rep below the true rep. I.E. Continental rep players are described as National etc...

[Stephanie McMahon's Secret Lover]

It is actually "PCRP" but will not show on the squad screen for some reason. I just a a column headed "C.R." but then its just "-" underneath.

[michaeltmurrayuk]

It appears to be hardcoded not to display for some reason - PHRP and PWRP don't work either, neither does "repw" that's used to display the reputation on the profile screen.

Pcrp won't work correctly as its the non-player reputation.
