[Third kits not working for Real Valladolid]

For the kits in the editor did you do Shirt/Shorts and Socks iirc from trying to get a custom kit you need all 3 of these 

It's too late to do it. As mentioned, I'm not re-starting the save. 

I have created the third kit (icon, jersey, shorts, kit & text) with the in-game editor, so I have the generic kit showing on the Club page..........but it doesn't allow for the graphic to work since I didn't create it in the pre-game editor. Obviously had I known this before I started my save I would have created it in the pre-game editor. So if I ever start a new save, I'll be sure have it in there but I doubt I'll ever play as Valladolid again.

Merry Christmas !

Make sure to tick "Allow licenced kits" within the Editor 

Thank you for the offering of assistance. Please note all kits work for other teams....it's just this one I came across and it's due to the original database not having a 3rd kit set up for Real Valladolid. I'm sure there must be a few others within the game with this issue. If I had noticed it before I created this save,  I could have created the 3rd kit in the pre-game editor and it would work just fine I presume....but I'm not going to re-start the save to fix it. It's just an odd omission by FM.

[Third kits not working for Real Valladolid]

 Happy Holidays !!

I presume there is no fix for this unless you make the change in the pre-game editor? From old threads I found, it seems that if the original FM data does not have a third kit in the game, then you cannot add a third kit graphic. I did use the in-game editor to create the basic third kit, but I cannot make the third kit graphic show up. Config looks file looks correct as all other La Liga teams have their 3rd kits showing.

Since I've already gone too far in setting up this save, I'll just live without it I guess. I wish they would make a third kit for every team, so we have the option to add it with the in-game editor....I'll throw that in the suggestion box for future versions.

[[FM23] England Level 10 Now Released]

And it will be ready tonight? 

[Editing all teams with a 1 Year Transfer Ban?]

Greetings !

I was wondering if there was a way to place a transfer ban on every club with a simple overall ban in the editor or would I have to go to each club individually to enter the ban?

Thanks for your assistance

 

["That looked very close to being offside" - but it was offside! Dont you mean close to being ONside???]

I agree with you.....I used to play with the Queens English, but it was very confusing. Players would always be upset with me when I thought I gave a compliment.

 

This statement still remains in the American English version though...thanks for mentioning it....I know there are a few other statements that irk me from time to time, but I haven't written them down.

[Match Speed During Highlights - more options?]

Hey folks....I watch the the games in Full Highlights and have been noticing I am never fully satisfied with the match speed I choose.

I watch with with the 2nd Slightly Faster mode or the 3rd Slightly Faster mode. It seems my eyes would prefer a 2 1/2 Slightly Faster mode. Maybe I'm the only one, but am wondering if it is possible to create more speed selections.

Thanks and I look forward to FM23 !

Export the data rather than save editor data as.

Thanks FCUtd Will......unfortunately they xml version still shows as another England file and does not allow the real fixtures to be used with this lovely database....so I'll go with fake fixtures it appears. At least I learned a new trick.

Update! Just fixed issue by exporting your file to XML with a name starting with ZZZ. Have been hanging out to have all these leagues in my game, thanks for putting it together.

May I ask how you exported the fmf to xml? Was trying to do the same with a real fixtures file to go along with this one without any success. Thanks.

Do I hear folks crying out for a release of Level 9 version?? 

[In game sounds... is there levels to it? do 99% of FM players turn it off?]

always have the sound on...I'm here to play FM and enjoy the ambiance.........Bennico's sound/chant file has worked decent for years now......agreed it could be so much better, but for ow it' the best we have

[[English-US] Issues in English-US Translation]

Using American English in game:

Play-by Play stating there were "Ironic Cheers".......I know this is a mistake in language that British announcers will admit to after they say it, but must it be in the game? It should be "sarcastic cheers" or if you want to get real American it can be called a "Bronx Cheer" (The New York Yankees play in the Bronx Borough of New York City and their fans have been known to be very sarcastic throughout history - hence the term).

 

I could give a laundry list of Brit-isms that sportscasters use ad-naseam, but I'll keep it to this for now :-)

[Luton Town Static Adboards not working]

Here's an odd one.......I just played at Luton Town and the adboards defaulted to the generic League One adboards. I cleared the cache, reloaded the skin, double checked my fm.xml file and ads folder. Same result. I wonder why it wouldn't at least default to the Championship generic adboards rather than League One....hmmmm.....

All other adboards (static or video) have worked per usual. This adboard pack has worked for years, so this anomaly must be something embedded in the game code?? Or the FLUT skin blocks this one teams adboards from working this year?

Has anyone else noticed this when playing away at Luton Town........ or is it just one of those weird things that happens to one person.

Cheers !!

[[FM21] Full Team Name Scoreboard & Faces on the Bench]

"Turns out it is possible to get the Team Names to Recolour whilst using the normal names, you just need to fudge it by using a class that can be recoloured such as the team name when it's part of the incidents file;"

Thanks Mr. Murray !!!! 

 

And - to clarify....we would then need a  match incidents right score for the away team? Or does the one panel handle both teams? I guess I'll find out when I try it....

 

Ok - I now have this (see below).... trying to fix the logos so that they are both next to the score rather than both being to the left of the team name

[Match engine jittery since update as well]

In case anyone cares.....I was just in mid-game with the usual jitteriness of the match play..... so out of frustration  I came to the forums again and noticed in the "match jitter" thread that Huesey1974 mentions changing his computer display. I didn't really understand the refresh rate, etc that was being espoused, but the word "display" got me thinking.

So I went to my System Preferences (I'm on an iMac 27") and clicked on Displays to see what options I had.....I was presently on the default setting for my display and had 4 other options (to increase or decrease my screen display size)....my default setting was 2560x1440.....I saw the next setting was 2048x1142....so I clicked on it and it zoomed in the screen....I hit play on my game and it was running smooth....I then went back to the default setting and the game was still smooth.

So I can't tell you what technically happened, but basically by refreshing the screen display of my computer while in the middle of a game, the match animations run smoothly. Just thought I'd share this result for anyone else having this issue since the last update. We'll see if this works next time I enter a game or if I will have to so this every time.... but I'm happy for the moment.

Happy New Year !!

[Match engine jittery since update as well]

I just wanted to log in as another person with a jittery match engine since the update....I've attempted all the tricks of lowering the graphic quality and reducing the zoom down from 125% that I had been using. So I now have a jittery match engine and a crowd of mannequins/Blue Man Group impersonators. I wonder what was in that latest update that caused this?

 

I'm not sure there's anything that can be done, so 'll just soldier on and enjoy best I can. Maybe the next update will snap things back to normal for reasons unknown. 

[Ferencvaros stadium is green seated not black!]

16 hours ago, Gaboo said:

Hi, I noticed this issue is on a LOT of other stadiums too, not only Ferencvaros. A lot of stadium seats are black, no texture, no light. This is not only a Ferencvaros issue, it is about a lot of clubs. So this a bigger bug!! Need fix! A lot of stadium are black seated! It was good on FM20, issue only in Fm21.

Hey Gaboo - I agree it's frustrating....SI does not seem to have the staffing to ensure team colors are proper for all teams in all countries (sometimes, not the legal rights). So the default is black quite often. May I suggest before you start a new save, go into the editor where it is possible to change the color of seating for each stadium. I've done this for several years (along with other incorrect colors for kits, team primary & secondary colors, competition colors, team names {short & long} etc..)....it takes me a lot of hours to get through most Euro leagues, USA & Brazil, but at least I'm happy at the end with the proper team colors even if I don't start my first save until 2 weeks after release.

 

[Crowd in 3D match view has issues since 21.2.0 update]

My iMac updated to Big Sur a few weeks ago and I do not have any further software updates available, so the drivers should be up to date. (The website for AMD graphics only allows for Windows, Ubuntu or Linux manual updates).

Still the same.......I even tried to create a new save without any added editor data, 3D Kits or 3rd party skin and the issue still occurs....weird. 

[Crowd in 3D match view has issues since 21.2.0 update]

Hi Jack - I have uploaded the save game to the Own cloud "1 ARSENAL - NOTTINGHAM FOREST" - under Anonymous as the sender.

I have 2 other saves as well and the same crowd issue....... for the games already played or for a new game. All other graphics within the game are normal.

 

Thanks

 

[Crowd in 3D match view has issues since 21.2.0 update]

Good Evening,

See attached screen shots of the crowds since the update today......man of them take on the team color, but do not have the human detail.

Any ides how to correct or what could have happened (have tested with original skin and 3rd party skin with same results.......I have verified game files and cleared cache to see if that helped as well..

......it's like Blue Man Group came to the game :-)

 

Thanks

[Scoreboard selector for fm2019]

@a31632 - and if you can figure out how to get the text as the team secondary colour when using the team long names, you'll be a hero to many (or at at least me, anyway) :-)

How do I change the color of the background?

Take a look at my post above from a few days ago......you'll need to change the paper file to blue from red as instructed.

Then, in the "match title bar" panel, make the following change in the very first line:  FROM: <panel colour_team_names="false" colour_team_scores="false">.....................TO THIS: <panel colour_team_names="true" colour_team_scores="false">

Basically change the colour_team_names from false to true

The problem that has not been solved is the text color when using the full team name........I'm not going to get into this again as it's ridiculous there's no way to make it the team secondary color.........I've made my statements in posts above. Presently I manually change the color of the text in the file before each game (although only about 10 basic colours are available).

You have to edit the paper files in graphics/boxes/custom/match/tv captions/si tv/score/home team to be all blue and then that will display the team colours. Also you need to edit the same files in the away team folder too

...and Jeffs72....to help a little more, here's a screen shot of where you can find it in your skins graphics folder.......I found a blue wallpaper online and matched the size of it to the red paper already in this folder.....voila !....actually just added a copy of blue paper below

But we still need to resolve the colored text with the long team name issue

I have managed to get the background colour for the home and away teams to display their team colours but I can't seem to get the text to display the team secondary colour. When you use the secondary option for the team name it changes it to the secondary colour for the competition instead of the team. This is how its looking so far.

We have been fighting to get a fix for this for over a week, but no one can figure it out....very frustrating......some of the great skinners have given up on it......I can't believe there isn't a way to fix this.........you have to decide if you want the the correct team colors with the 6-letter name (which looks like an eye chart in most cases) or the full team name with the wrong text color.
