Wants to change the size of those trophies and texts.

It looks nothing could be modified to control the size of trophy pictures and texts! 

If you have enough space, try to change the <container default_height="-1" priority="3". Change the height to for example 200 and the trophies will be bigger because the pictures will have more space thanks to a bigger widget. 

I have it with "255" and it looks like this.

Unfortunately I just have 150 height space. So, I want  reduce the font size of the number and move the texts of comps to bottom, so the picture has more space to grow larger. But how can I do that?

This is how it looks on my skin if I change the height to 150.

Anyone knows how to change the background image for news items to feature the stadium_inside (STAp) image when it is club related? Would be great if it would be on top, only showing up when it has one. No clue if that would be easily possible.

Hi,

Can anyone please help me locate and edit this purple button on the In Possession Team Instructions screen? TIA

I still need help with this. Anyone who can help? Thanks

If that colour is not normal I would guess either they made a change in panels/tactics/tactics team strategies in possession. Think the below refers to the button from that panel.

                    <widget class="popup_button" id="cros" height="28" appearance="buttons/custom/tactics/pitch switch/normal/button" alignment="centre">
                    </widget> 

or maybe they changed the relevant paper file for the button which should be in the graphics folder where the file path is shown above.

This is my legend players list of my country.

And I want to add a portrait picture for each legend player like below,

So, what should I do it? Anybody can share your experiences? Million thanks!

i'm not sure it's possible as the names seems pulled from  a "legend_list_table"

Yes, the code of the legend_list_table are below:

 

<widget class="person_list_text" spec="text" id="TLeV" reason="false" alignment="left,bottom" auto_size="vertical" size="11" navigation_container="true">
<record id="object_property">
<integer id="get_property" value="TLeg" />
</record>
<record id="viewed_property_ids">
</record>
</widget>

My question is : how can I set the widget class to be a list of portrait+name instead of text only, and how to make  portrait and name are vertical alignment?

looking at the way the Legends list is made in the club info page.

Maybe something similar can be done with your code to make the names vertical list

<container class="main_box" id="at78">
			<translation id="title" translation_id="281393" type="use" value="Legends[COMMENT: heading; team_information_panel; list of legends persons to current club]" />

				</record>
				<list id="column_widget_properties">
					<record indx="0"  navigation_focus_target="false"/>
				</list>
			</container>
		</container>

Maybe it's even possible to use a integer id="port" to show a portrat

it's all guesses as i havnt tried myself,

Yes, I'd made my club info by those code and the legends list like this:

But this time I want lay out the list horizontally but vertically, and the picture should above the name but left side.

Set show_id="false" to hide the ids. The ids for people not in the db changes from save to save, and I'm not sure if they need the r- prefix for regens if you want to add images in FM24.

Genius! It works!

For my panel framework, I want layout these items just one line, so, I disabled the variable wrap to false.

Reload the skin, It looks like below

There are two issues, first, there has no scroll bar(there are many legends more than appeared), and the second, when I left the panel to others and come back again, those items are disappeared!

I guess I must have some grammar errors.

put your container into a

<container class="scrolling_box">

your code

</container>
that should do it

for the 2nd

add this- it's probably missing in your shown code or your legend list file

<record id="object_property" get_property="objt" set_property="objt"/>

[BouFitty]

Beat me to it with the scrolling thing, but something like this should work

<container class="scrolling_box" fit_content_horizontal="true" fit_content_vertical="false">
  <container>
    <attachment_group class="vertical_arrange_autosize_all" vertical_gap="0" />

    <container class="simple_data_list" set_property="objt" auto_size="vertical">
      <record id="object_property" get_property="Cfap" />
      <attachment_group class="horizontal_arrange_autosize_all" />
      <record id="widget_properties" class="client_object_viewer_xml_panel" file="club/bf/legend" badge_size="60" show_id="true" />
    </container>
  </container>
</container>

 

 

But I also realized, after learning from the hidden UID thread, that you can use names and dates of birth to set people's portraits and that you can do this for legends and ignore the changing IDs

 

This is two different saves using a single config entry for cruyff even though he has two different IDs

<record from="Johan Cruijff" to="graphics/pictures/person/Johan Cruijff 1-1-1900/portrait"/>

since the DOB for all people not in the DB is 1-1-1900 you only have to worry about characters that may be hard to type like in Kubala's name, and that if there are name collisions you'll just have to choose one

If only this could be built for all players in your own squad, as opposed to just key player/hot prospect etc! I'd love to have a scrolling area, on the all players panel, with info cards like these...

I use a bunch of custom tactical styles and have spent the last couple of days trying to figure out a way to change them from the match screen like mentality, shouts, instructions, etc. After looking through some custom skins and the extracted files from the game, I found the tactics tactical style popup panel and tried to replicate how other button/icons were handled in TCS's match console quick tactics panel. The furthest I got was when I copied how shouts were coded. I got the correct button at the bottom and it pops up properly. The problem is the custom tactical styles aren't there and when you load them, they disappear immediately. They do still show up correctly when you enter the tactics and subs screen. I have reached the end of my meager skinning skills. Does anyone have any advice on changes I could make to get it to work or additional places I could look for code to use?  Thanks in advance for any advice you may have.

Hello, guys. I'm totally new at skinning, never thought about change it or anything except using available skin, but this year is different.

Maybe someone has asked, but I can't find it. How to replace attribute values with, for example, stars, or something like that? Or is there a thread that explains it? Thank You

I'm looking to tweak one of the skins I have downloaded to make the match previews a bit more immersive. Specifically, I'm looking to add some details to the attached screen - for example, adding average rating under each player name or some other stats. This way, when I get further into the game, and there are less players I know, I can have something on here to show me how they are performing or how good they are.

I'm looking at the match preview lineups panel.xml but nothing obvious in there as to whether this is possible.

 

Thanks!

I would like to have a stadium background in my 2D mode, like in the old days. I found out that this can be changed via Football Manager 2024 -> art -> shared_textures -> match_background.dds

However, I can't find a good background photo that I could use. Can anyone help me? I think this could be nice for those who still like 2D mode...

See screenshot attached for what I mean

You will have to redo the layout to how you want it to look and then try and see if the stuff you actually wants there will work

you have the right file, so it's just trial and errors

this is another example how it has been made, lots of options

I found that the mask of the position selected is different with FM22 and is no longer good looking. I want to mod it. Which file should I work on?

 

[KillYourIdols]

Hi all

Please remind me, on the league table screen, how to I get 5 players to show per stat (Average rating, goals, assists etc) rather than the default 3?

I've tried following what I done on FM23, but got in a right mess and nothing seemed to work for me.

TIA

the size of the kits are determend by the space they are given, so to reduce the size, you'll have to go into the club overview panel and change the size of the panel where they sit

To change the title font, is it just to change thetitle.fontxml title font in FONT map ? Wanted to try out change stuff on TATO skin. Wanted to change that font to Sofia font.

But changed in the title xml file but it hasnt changed in the skin.  Fun to try out stuff and learn

Title text then i mean where the Player name, Club Name etc stands 

SofiaSans-Bold.ttf

How do I change the time on the clock? So that I make it visible.

I play with the SAS skin. I'm interested in changing the colour or having an image in the background of the matchdays in the training schedule. Just to give them a bit of pop to stand out? 

Cheers

Anybody know how I can get the faces and the league history to appear on the club screen for the manager captain etc, also how I get to see the league history in the graph? Thanks this page is a lifesaver.
