[FM21][WIP] Match Screen Mods

[michaeltmurrayuk]

Initial work has started on FM21 versions of my Match Screen Mods, with a quick preview;

Plan for the moment (unless things break) is to have two selector panels in the left side Notable Events Panel, but keep the smaller width so it acts more like the widgets hidden in the corner - though it depends on whether the incidents panel will embed or can be replaced.

I've got rid of the Dugout as the Advice panel works fine within the other selectors and the dugout messed around with the resizing code, though I haven't actually played through that many games so can anyone tell me if they have seen anything appear in that space above/below the Dugout panel? (I know there is an advice popup in the bottom left corner).

For the main panel it's actually a lot easier to work with - have max. eight panels at the moment, and the split code seems to work so you can adjust the width of the individual panels and hopefully the height code will work this year (as the commentary bar should no longer be an issue) though at the moment adjusting the height will adjust all the panels (I'll see about switching that around for a future version) so is mainly there to give you a choice over whether you want full/half height panels instead of being resolution limited.

For views within the selector panels it looks like most of the old views still work, but need to test/check and look at the new panels.

I haven't really had a look at the HT Review screen but will see if there is anyway to make it possible to switch between Review/Tactics/Teamtalk panels as at the moment you cannot go back which limits your access to the data.

For the FT Review and Post Match Review screens looks like these both use the same file so that might be an issue - also has anyone seen where the Upload Highlights panel is located this year in case I accidental cut it out again.

 

One thing I need to know from people are what screen resolutions you use as the width of the tablet is determined by your resolution and I'll hopefully add some more options as the default thresholds are fairly limited (1920, 2560, 3840 people all get a Tablet of the same width for example). If you are playing in Full Screen mode just need to know your screen resolution, for windowed mode your active window size is better - if unsure take a screenshot without the borders and that will give you your active screen area, also let me know if you are on a MAC in case they have slightly different screen sizes.

For a release nothing set yet but won't be this week.

I didn't see something above/below the dugout panel. I only noticed the change of height within the dugout widget from uknown reason. Totally agree with removing it, it was something I wanted to do too. The WIP looks good so far.

Not sure if I'm 100% right but there is no option to upload highlights so far if I didn't miss something.

My resolution is 1920x1080.

Windowed - 1920x1027 (see the screenshot).

I would say the sidebar icon or sidebar in full can influence the touchline tablet width.

I'm on a Mac with scaled resolution set to 1680 X 1050 (1440 X 900 windowed). I play at 95% zoom.

Mac 1680 x 1050 here too.

This looks great, can't wait

[Timmitou]

This looks great, thanks for putting in the effort. 

I don't know the first thing about skinning so apologies if this is dumb question but: Is there any way to get the "quick sub" button back into the match view somehow?

[Dagenham_Dave]

1600 x 900, however getting a new laptop tomorrow, same size screen, will prob  stick with that resolution. 

[markarian]

@michaeltmurrayuk you're a saviour. 1280x1024 is my resolution. Also for a laptop screen, 1366x768.

@michaeltmurrayuk - on that screenshot and when your fix comes out, how do I amend the columns in the player ratings table? I find it annoying that real estate is taken up by the captain column and the player numbers column and would prefer to repurpose to show other stats if possible.

You should be able to do that now by following this guide;

The xml file you should need to edit is match team stats full floating which is found in the panels\match folder which you'll need to extract from the panels fmf file.

@Timmitou No idea about the Quick Subs I'll have a look later this week if I get a chance.

[KingBuzzo15]

1920 x 1080 windowed at 95% zoom.

Is it possible to add a widget for the dugout/advice bit that can you can pop up any time and interact with during the 3d highlights? Similar to previous versions.

This is interesting, didn't know this was possible. I'd love to have the body language in there for example

Thanks for the explanation and for looking into the quick subs thing.

[Hardworkingo]

Looks very good for 1366x768 resolution.

[stevemc]

Great work @michaeltmurrayuk will there also be an overview panel like this one below, like in previous versions?

[jeid2000]

1920x1080 for me, looks good so far.

The old analysis data is still available in match by going to tactics>opposition>click on best performance on the right, is there a way that the analysis data could be accessible again? Feel like a lot of people feel this is a shortcoming of the new screens as we generally don't watch full match. I know it's available at half/full time, but some people like to check this as the game goes.

[Bakiano]

Mine resolution is 1366x768 on 100%.

 

I can't wait for your work, you will make a lot of people happy.

 

Thank you!

[michaeltmurrayuk]

Got the Actionbar showing again on the Match Screens but need to check to make sure it doesn't cause issues elsewhere, however the old quick sub feature is gone so cannot add that back in but the various old panels all seem to work just need to clean some of them up and make sure there aren't any long-term issues before fixing the layout and then working on the review screens.

Oh and keep supplying resolution info as the more info I have the better I can optimize the space.

[Timmitou]

1440x900 and 85% zoom here.

[AtlasFR]

Here, 1920x1080 with 100% zoom.

[ImDaWeasel]

Looking great once again.

On a 2560x1440 with 100% or 125% zoom usually, depending on the skin.

 

[stevemc]

I think this was one of your match review panels but always loved this screen, found it usual to go back and screenshot after the game to post on the forums too, hopefully it can be replicated this year 

[Barkermush]

Great news, I really dislike the default match screen right now.

I'm playing with 1920 x 1080, 100% zoom (standard size)

[stonini90]

1920x1080 100%

Can i have your children?

[kandersson]

Looking forward to this. Also playing on  1920 x 1080 and 100% zoom

This would be amazing.

 

Having a background picture really adds up to the game immersion. I just don't understand why the split screen option was removed.

Full screen 3840 x 2160 , 150% zoom.

Also, could I ask what xml files are those for in between highlights panel and tablet panel/widget ? Would like to have a look at them.

Thanks.

[Siven]

Looks fantastic.

1920x1080, 100% zoom.

Now all we need is the timeline bar back, and teamtalk screens sorted.....though i dunno if those could be fixed

[Barnetfan]

Is there anyway to keep the commentary bar on show and moving in-between highlights?

[Crb1986]

Also would like to ask if theres a way to have a panel in between highlights with a picture of the stadium (such as the below)?

Hi Guys!

What is the panel to edit that pitch box to be well aligned?

Also how could I change the shirts for  (numbers in circles) ?

Thank you!!

This looks awesome! I'm on a 32" monitor 2560x1440 100% Zoom. Was looking forward to FM on a big monitor but it feels wasted with the default.

Just want to show that the screen above (FM20) is so much better than this screen we have in FM21 below:

Hey, maybe you could help

Is that screenshot during the 3d match? If so, how did you manage to have the background picture during the match highlights?
