[FM24][SKIN] Statman24 - Updated 28/02/24

You can choose. Change value="attribute_bar" to value="attribute_label" for each attribute in person properties.xml (use Find and Replace in Notepad), reload the game and you've got it. My reasoning was that the colour scheme that I've created across the skin, doesn't look great on a darker background and I was unable to get boxes (like I have on the attribute panel) to look decent across these panels. That being said, I'm not entirely sure about it, myself and, as I also create data from it, find it a bit awkward to export so I may fully move back for a future release, anyway.

Thanks for the tip!

It's true that it's not easy with a dark background. The colour palette you've chosen for your skin is really nice and you don't want to stray from it. So I thought about it a bit myself and finally opted for this colour palette : Color Designer

This site is great for this sort of thing.

It could certainly be better but it doesn't look too bad in squad panel. I'll be interested to see how it works in your "attributes HUB".

 

Once again, thank you for your work. You've made me want to dive right back into a new part!

See you soon in The Nothman adventure

Hi. 

Is there anyways to change the score and home team background colour for the scoreboard. I have added an image below which shows my problem.

this only happens with the statman skin, which is a shame as I really enjoy using it. Is there any fixes which you could help me with ?

sorry if this has been asked before

[Socerer 01]

So I’ve managed to replicate the graphical bug with the attributes I had earlier by switching to another regular skin (SAS in this instance) and then switching back to Statman again. Weirdly enough I did reset the cache and restart the game before switching.

 

Has anyone else encountered a similar issue?

when you're editing properties files, swapping back and forth between skins can break things. Just an issue with the game unfortunately . The game loads the properties on launch, so just restart your game and all will be sorted

Thanks for the skin!

My laptop screen res is 2240*1400 but the skin isn't right.. Is there any way I can edit it so it works on this res ?

What do you mean ‘isn’t right?’ Please can you share some screenshots? I made the skin for the resolution I play at and am unable to offer support for a screen size I do not own.

It hasn't worked unfortunately, even after deleting the other skin before switching to Statman. Somehow a full reinstall is the only thing that resets it.

Yes, in FM23. 

I found if you have a bunch of skins in the skins folder, even if you delete/remove/move one out, it can still cause Issues.  The reason I am sure of this is I found a skin from a user in Korea that I liked last year, but a lot of the added text was in Hangul, and after deleting it and moving to a new skin, I think it was Tato, therte was Hangul showing up in that skin.  Likewise, when I would switch to a skin, I would get an error saying 'font XYZ123 not found' or something similar, and that font wasn't part of the skin.

I finally started deleting C:\Users\XXXXX\AppData\Local\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2024 and that seemed to fix the problems.  Not sure if that would work for FM24 as I have not encountered that yet, but after last year I only keep one skin in the skins folder.

Recommendations would be to change to sidebar icons, zoom to 85/95% and also check your Windows zoom settings - moving from 125% (default in most cases) to 100%. After that, I don’t really know because it’s not a resolution I use, sorry.

Is there any way I can give the skin a darker color scheme? Is that a possibility?

Yeah, of course.

In 'Settings - Gold.xml' if you replace the Statman colours section with this:

	<!--STATMAN COLOURS-->
	<colour name="statman"								value="rgb(212,175,55)"/>
	<colour name="bg"								value="rgb(28,32,48)"/>
	<colour name="bg darker"							value="black"/>
	<colour name="bg lighter"							value="rgb(28,32,32)"/>

You can start with a darker background. Here, I've labelled bg darker just so you can still see the 'bar' in those places above. Because the background user 'client object browser' to essentially cover everything, I'd focus your playing on the bg lighter colour, which, in the code above, is significantly darker than what I started with.

I also took this little bit of skinning time to finally ditch my idea for staff and return to attributes:

[SAMiles]

is there a way to colour code the positions? ie defenders having a different colour icon to midfielders?

I was referring to the kind of attribute analyzer that was present in Statman 1.3. Traditional attribute analysis which is based on defensives, offensives, etc.
Because now you can see this analyzer in the player comparison but not in the player profile itself anymore.

It's not there because I don't think it needs to be. You don't need to hijack an unrelated post with your request when you've already asked once for the change.

However, to do this, you need to open player profile.xml and delete lines 406 to 446 and 526 to 566.

Replace them with this:

      <!-- Outfield player -->
      <container class="person_attributes_analyser_panel" id="ofap" file="player/attributes/player attribute analyser outfield" >
        <record id="object_property" get_property="Pigo" set_property="hidn"/>
      </container>

      <!-- Goalkeeper -->
      <container class="person_attributes_analyser_panel" file="player/attributes/player attribute analyser goalkeeper" id="gkap">
        <record id="object_property" get_property="Pigo" set_property="Shwn"/>
      </container>

And you'll get this:

It won't stay in my skin as I dislike it but it is what you asked for.

Unfortunately nothing changes, it is possible that I am doing something wrong
Is it possible for you to send me the file to swap? It would be really great.

It does change. I proved it myself. Please find the attached file and a reminder that it's not my job to modify my skin for the liking of others.

This afternoon, I spent a bit of time playing with the buttons on my player popup and now I have this:

The purpose is to have quick snapshots of things that I'd be interested in and - particularly for me - would want to share in my career update. For unattached players, you only see their career history and for non-owned players, you can't see the progress tab, for obvious reasons. What is missing?!

I'd imagine that deleting match score area panel.xml from the match folder will revert you to the original and, as such, remove this issue for you. I can't say for certain but that's because I've never actually managed in the EFL with this skin!

Just tried this and no luck unfortunately, do you have any other ideas for things I could change? I wouldn't have the slightest clue what to try, thanks anyway though!

A few days ago my FM started crashing during a game. After clicking on tactics.

 

Anyone have a similar problem? Could it be related to the skin change? I didn't have this problem in the first version of this skin.

It happens mostly in the second half, during the second/third substitution of players.

It's a skin issue, it's trying to pull from panels/menu and isn't finding what it thinks it supposed to find.  Couple of reasons for this, I ran into a lot on 22 and not so much in 23, what fixed it for me was:

Exit the game.

Delete every skin you are not using out of the skins folder.  Going forward only keep the ski you are suing in the skins folder.

Go to AppData\Local\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2024 and delete all the folders inside.

Restart the game.  You may have to re enter a few things.

That *should* fix it.

If you play in the base skin does it still error out.  If so may need to do an integrity check.  If not Check the other forums, I don't remember which one though.  There have been others who have had this issue.

Is it a known issue that the create new tactic option in the tactics screen doesn't do anything? Load/copy both work.

Yes. I had to skin over it with that secondary container. One of the things I left as it was because the latter is more impactful in my eyes.

Ermm. Not sure! Let me get back to you...

[_Ben_]

I've been working on a way to add more detail to the rows and columns within the game and have been able to create the images below. For those that didn't see this in the 'Show your Skin' thread, the premise has been to add a second layer of info to various areas - personality and media handling group as do games and goals across a career. But, the biggest change is adding the metric dots to this area. The hint, here, is built into the skin but allows me to really easily see, at a team level, where the strengths and weaknesses lie.

To get that to occupy as much space as possible, I've removed the bits of analysis from the right hand side and added the button, below, to the top panel to pop out when clicked:

This also drips down onto the player search areas, where I can now see this - for example:

I'm able to save a click, essentially, to easily compare the outputs for these players. Because of this - in my game (and not on any release) - the player search area will be hidden so that I can only see this data from those who I have scouted. However, that is a personal choice and I won't push that on others.

This and the staff attributes will be in the next version, hopefully to be released this week!

This code:

				<record id="widget_info" class="attribute_label" alignment="centre_y,centre_x"  multiline="false"  colour="bg lighter"  style="bold" size="10"  use_attribute_colour_as_bg="true" appearance="profile/paper4"/>

controls that and is in lots of places across the player areas. A risky way is to delete the graphic (paper4) but I can't remember where else I've used it. Otherwise, you can replace all existence of that with this:

				<record id="widget_info" class="attribute_label" alignment="right,centre_y" style="semi_bold" multiline="false"/>

And it should work!
