Is it possible?

[EnigMattic1]

To have some sort of fade/gradient on the tactics pitch? 

For example, have the pitch start as a faded primary colour where the keeper is and fade to a black/transparent as it gets to the striker? 

I have seen similar on the sidebar in various skins and I would assume it would have something to do with "paper", but I'm just curious as to whether or not it is possible.

create the image/graphic you want and save it as pitch_tactic.png and place it to the graphics folder within your skin. And link it to this file in the pitch with tactics container.xml.

Does it have to be any particular size?

I have it 387x559 but it will adapt to the width/height of the pitch within your skin.

Does it have to be a pitch image? Or just a faded/gradient image?

It can be whatever you want. The pitch lines, goals, grass etc. are not affected by this image but in the pitch with tactics container.xml.

That's exactly what I'm trying to do (but flipped). If I had a similar image that was saved as "paper", could I edit it and save it as "pitch_tactic.png"? And what folder do I need to save the image in? 

[keysi]

I like to have it sorted and named clearly to know what is where.

So, my example:

I opened skin folder/graphics and I created the tactics pitch folder. And I put the pitch_tactic.png file here with the pitch_tactic config.xml.

pitch_tactic.xml

The second step:

go to the skin folder/panels/tactics and open the pitch with tactics container.xml. There is a line 22 with <string id="pitch_base_appearance" value="" />.

You have to insert the right path to the graphics file here. This is from my example.

<string id="pitch_base_appearance" value="tactics pitch/pitch_tactic" />

And save the file and it will be here. If you don't want to have the ui_circles in the pitch as the background of your graphic file, just change <string id="pitch_draw_grass" value="true" /> in the line 21 to <string id="pitch_draw_grass" value="false" />.

That's why I have this.

Idiot proof steps. Thanks mate. Appreciate it.

Sorry mate, one final question. Will the image automatically have the coloured portion of the graphic as the respective clubs primary colour or do I have to add some code for that?

Yeah, I think I went wrong somewhere.

that your custom picture is not enough wide to cover the whole pitch I would say

You probably mean something like this:

You need to insert this to the pitch_tactic.xml

<colour id="red_replacement" name="primary"/>

I quickly made this .png image with the red gradient. and it looks like in that gif.

That's exactly what I was trying to achieve. At what point in the xml do I need to put the code for the colour? Is it after the pitch appearance?

no, that's not in the pitch with tactics.xml but in the pitch tactic.xml in the same folder where you have the .png file.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- image properties -->
<properties>

	<!-- image borders -->
	<!-- these determine how many pixels any content is inset from each side of the image -->
	<!-- (for example, in the case of a button, the content would be the text label) -->
	<record id="image_borders" left="5" right="5" top="1" bottom="1"/>

	<!-- image slices determine the points at which the image will be sliced to enable scaling -->
	<!-- the image will only slice in the directions slicing values are provided for-->
	<record id="image_slices" left="10" right="10" top="10" bottom="10"/>
  
  	<colour id="red_replacement" name="primary"/>

</properties>

Brilliant. Thanks. 

[lembergman]

but how to disable lines and effects here? I figured out how to do it on the main ... but how here. here are a couple more pitch options

Sorry mate, another quick question. How would I go about adding the team logo to the same pitch?
