OK thank you,it's coming up 3.01 now so that will probably help

Choose the colour scheme you want, and copy over to skin's settings folder.

You will now have 3 files in the settings folder.

Delete the existing settings file.

You will now have 2 files in your folder.

Rename the colour scheme file to what the original settings file was called.  If you are using the Numerical Light version, for example, it will be Mustermann23 Numerical Light settings.

In preferences make sure you have the following options under the "SKIN" section.  Use caching must be unticked.  Reload skin must be ticked.

Click confirm.

Your colour scheme will be changed.  You can turn caching back on in the preferences (and turn off reload skin) if you so wish.

 

It's the same method for the dark mod right? Thanks.

Correct.  But instead of the word Light, you have the word Dark.

Hm, that's weird. I've done just like the tutorial but it keeps not working.

[juan31]

@GIMN

Nevermind, got it. It was the caching setting that I was missing. Had it turned on. Now that is off it already changed to the colour I wanted.

Thanks for the help.

Keep up the excellent work, I love the skin and has simplified my gameplay a lot!

[GIMN]

Marvellous.  Glad you got it to work.

You will need to find the code for city pictures (probably from a skin that already has it), and then add it where you want into panels/club/club overview panel.xml.  I've annotated my files so you should be able to work out where things are.

I also noticed when changing the color of the skin (I'm using the numerical version) the numbers dissapear and become like the graphical?

Managed to fix it in.

For anyone wanting the same here is the code:

                    <!--city-->
                    <container class="horizontal_adaptive_container" gap="0" mode="distribute_equally" height="648">
                    
                        <container default_width="-1"/>
                        
                        <container default_width="1080">
                            <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" apply_to_children="true"/>
            <widget class="background" file="backgrounds" id="bgnd">
                <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" apply_to_children="true" inset="0"/>

            </widget>
                        </container>

Turns out like this, I'm trying to get it in place but don't have enough knowledgde for XML editing

my young friend, you have already done more than many "skinmakers" who can only whine and beg to give them a finished file. just don't make it complicated, copypast the container <!--STADIUM--> and replace there the widget that shows the stadium (stadium_picture) with the widget that shows the city:
 

				<widget class="background" file="backgrounds" id="bgnd">
					<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="top" inset="0" />
					<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="horizontal" inset="0" />
					<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="left" offset="0" gap="0" />
					<record id="object_property">
					<integer id="get_property" value="bgnd" />
					<integer id="set_property" value="file" />
					</record>
				</widget>

after that you can delete the container <!--STADIUM INFORMATION-->
or try to set it to show information about the city

good luck

@GIMN : Any chance to make the graphical version of the skin 'adapt' to the rating thresholds if changed? say changing Excellent from 16+ to 15+ or even lower, depending on what division you manage in. Right now it is always using the default settings, not the settings the player puts in via settings in FM.

[Jellico73]

@GIMN

Not sure if this is a minor glitch or something I did, but on the tactics screen all of the buttons in some sections are highlighted

 

Great work as always!

You'll need to edit classes/attribute_bar.xml - the thresholds are outlined in there.

<class class="attribute_bar" parent="position_role_duty_star_range_based_picture">
    <list id="value_list">
        <record min_value="1" max_value="5" file="mustermann/attributes/low" />

I'll have a look at this; probably an oversight with the colour scheme being very similar to the colours for unselected instructions.  I'd suggest trying to change the following values in the settings file:

<colour name="conflicting instruction" 					value="bg red darker"/>
<colour name="conflicting with role instruction" 		value="bg red"/>

Possibly to fg grey darker and fg grey, respectively.

Bizarre!!! Does it stay that way if you hit continue?  I've noticed that sometimes the sidebars aren't there after returning from holiday until you press continue.

I've also just resigned as a test, and they seem to be there:

If the problem persists would you be able to upload your save (probably to something like mediafire) and send the link so I can try and see what might be causing it?

It has happened only when I'm on SIDEBARS (ICONS) only. I made a new save UNEMPLOYED and the sidebar icons were still gone. Seems its only when you select icons + unemployed. When you click continue and do have a News article in your inbox it does go onto that screen but the sidebar icon options are still missing.

 

had to disable icons.

I'm struggling to recreate the situation.  In windowed mode down to what would be relatively 1360x768 (which is the smallest I can go using sizer on my monitor).

Is there anything else about the setup that I might need to consider?

The only changes I have made to the original Mustermann Skin is to delete the folder that enables the Mustermann logo at the bottom left [above the battery power/charging] as well as change the skin settings to Teal.

 

Here are a couple screenshots from the file I just created to test:

Still no side bar column. Even if you go back to the tabs shown in the picture the Side bar doesn't come up.

You are on the previous skin, so updating might help.  I also suspect the issue might be caused by what you deleted, considering the logo is contained inside the generic/sidebar menu table.xml - you will be better served deleting the bits of code relating to it in the file itself.

@GIMN : Any chance to add the ability to highlight attributes by position? Currently it seems like the only screen this can still be done is the player comparison screen and that unfortunately only in the numberical version. Maybe i am just too stuck in my way but that's driving me mad  Attributeless is just too time-consuming for me (especially since i tend to menu-browse and overthink on transfers anyway) so in theory i really like the compromise the graphical version offers.

It's not possible with the design I've chosen, sorry.

That said, the groupings naturally put together the attributes that work in tandem.  If you're looking for a playmaker, all 3 attributes in the passing category are obviously important.  If you're looking for a box-to-box midfielder or wing-back who is going to be running up and down the pitch, the endurance category is key.  And so on.

Beautiful work as always, I love the (Anchor, Spreader, Aggressor etc) data at the top of the profile page, I've never seen that done before. Is there somewhere I can read up on the pizza chart? I think I have a good understanding of what I am seeing but want to make sure I don't misinterpret the data.

Also for any future updates (numerical version)

@GIMN

Hi, I haven't played for the last few weeks and haven't noticed all the changes in your skin. But now I've noticed that you've completely removed the stats table and Per90 with the graphic overlay in the skin.

Why do you made it? Is it just because of the pizza chart, or did it make other mistakes?

I would like to return these stats to Player's info for screenshots. So I just want to know if I should even try. Thanks for the answer. 😉

And of course, as with all your improvements, great job. That pizza chart looks good. I can't wait to give it a proper play test...

With the Winter patch, the way some stats are recorded changed, and match engine tweaks means other stats would also be inaccurate.  This meant the underlying numbers needed to be rerun and the classes updated.  It's a massive task, and so I chose to prioritise the pizza chart instead.  By including areas of the game beyond just those that are normally associated with the position group, it helps give a much more rounded perspective of a player's strengths and weaknesses.

@GIMN First i'd like to say you have outdone yourself with the new updated skin!

The error still exists under the following conditions:

• Sidebar Icons enabled [Not words, Icons]

Interesting - do you know which file?  I've checked sidebar menu table, and it appears that the date modified for all 3 extractions I have (first patch, winter patch & just now) are all the same, and the only difference I can see between them and mine is colours I've defined (and the addition of the logo in the bottom corner).

Looking at the unemployed table specifically, the icon record doesn't seem to have a minimum width, where it does for other tables.

@vJords - as I'm unable to replicate it, I can't test.  Could you try the following file in the panels/generic folder and see if that rectifies the issue?

This is called using the following code inside panels/player/mustermann/reports/player reports other player.xml:

<widget class="playing_history_summary_panel" file="player/mustermann/reports/player reports career history" id="Pcrs" default_height="-1">
  <record id="object_property" get_property="objt" set_property="objt"/>
</widget>

You could look to replace one of the sections in panels/player/mustermann/reports/player reports own player.xml, or place it directly into panels/player/player overview panel.xml.  If you do look to add it as an extra section, you may need to adjust some heights, and that will mean there might be a large blank area for players from other clubs.

You can just edit the files directly.  I've annotated the relvant section as <!--ARCHETYPE HINTS--> and the text is just written as it appears in the game (n.b if you want a carriage return, you'll need to input "&#10;" - that string MUST be exact, or the & can cause it to break).  Unsurprisingly, the strings used don't exist within game, so there isn't an associated translation_id to use.

Probably not in the spot for traits, as the space needed for the text makes it too wide.  A selector between attributes and pizza, however, might be possible.

One more question: Seeing as this might be something i would want to not have in the future (but not wanting everything hidden ala Hodr Skin), would there be a somewhat easy way for me to hide the Potential Stars in the Scouting Report and Coach Report ? (everywhere else i can just deselect them in Views and don't mind Ability being show, so Development Screen is not an issue).

You'd have to edit the various report panels containing that information - there are quite a few I believe.  The easiest way to go about this would be to extract Panels using the FM Resource Archiver; and then search for "Potential Ability".  You'd then want to move those files over to the skin (unless they are already there - not all will be), and edit the files to remove the stars.  It might end up being tedious, but it is not as difficult as it sounds.
