Can you still make the text larger like you could in FM22?

Yes, the exact options available to you will depend on your screen resolution, but you should have the same options as in FM22.

[Scouting Players on Trial]

Unless it has changed the attributes for trialists get slowly revealed during their time on trial with you, generally takes several weeks for them all to be revealed.

[Homegrown status wrong?]

Does he actually count as Homegrown though? The Athletic seem to be assuming he does, but according to the Premier League Website he is still on the U21 List:

2022/23 Premier League squad lists

Whilst UEFA don't seem to list whether players are homegrown or not on their site any longer.

But if you feel the rule is wrong and have evidence that players out on load should qualify then this is the best place to raise the issue:

[England] (Official) League Specific Issues - Bug Tracker - Sports Interactive Community (sigames.com)

[Transfer Offer Colour]

Colours are set by the xml files found with the graphics which should be in the graphics\boxes\custom\negotiation\item\ subfolders. If not present for you skin you'll need to extract them from the fm-widgets skin found inside the sitoolkit fmf file.

[Display ONLY SOME attributes]

No, you can hide a column (such as physical or mental) or all the attributes but not individual attributes.

Is there any way of knowing what those changes are upon release so we can tweak the relevant files, rather than re-downloding the Base Skin and starting again?

As BuzzR said there are tools around to compare files/folders - compare plugin for Notepad++ is good for comparing two files, I use KDiff3 to compare all files in a folder, whilst the resource tools should preserve the modification date of the game files so you can use the modified date on files to see if it has changed in the patch or not.

Also depends on how many changes are made - if it's something small like say a minor colour change for the base skin, I'd also tend to post the changes made as well, but that depends on the skinner and the amount of changes.

[[FM23] Base Skin NO FACES MOD V1.19 released on 31/03/2023]

Meeting panels are controlled by the various interaction files in the panels\generic folder - different files for different people/meeting types.

Dynamics stuff xml files are named chemistry - club chemistry support panel from the panels\club folder and team chemistry overview panel from panels\team folder should control that page.

[Deleting Manager Profile]

Is there an easy and/or quick way to delete a manager profile, and create a new one?

Yes, when you Add a New Manager to an existing game or Create a New Game, you are asked to either create a new profile, use an existing profile and from there you can also delete an existing profile.

Does this make sense? My offer (which was rejected):

What he accepted:

Because:

Benefit how?

They have given him an extra year, a yearly rise and a percentage of next sale (and with a lower release clause which is more likely to be activated) which may have changed the overall package, and depending on who you are managing might have just tipped it in their favour, as I'm not sure if the financially benefit is refering to why they rejected you or just that it is the reason they moved from their original club.

Though if you have a save from before he made his final decision you can raise the issue in the bugs forum so it can be looked at.

[[FM23] Customising match team stats view]

You may need to exit and restart game to get changes to properties files to be read.

If that doesn't work, then it'll be controlled elsewhere and most likely something that is hardcoded.

For the dividers you might be able to cheat and set certain columns to use custom graphics where you just need to give them a strong border on the left/right.

Cannot remember the exact coding, pretty sure there is a post in the forum about doing it for the red/yellow card columns on the player stats table and that uses similar coding so something like:

<record id="MPaf" file="boxes/custom/solid/paper" red_replacement="divider"/>

However I don't think that will affect the header part of the table.

[[FM23] Customising match team stats view]

The dividers as best as I can are hardcoded position wise (or buried somewhere - could be in a class or properties file).

You might be able to add new dividers by adding new lines like this:

<record id="---" />

That is how it is done in menus, no idea if it will work.

To add a Super Heading, looks like you should be able to do that by editing the ids in the person properties xml file from the properties folder.

Existing columns set as Super Headings look like this:

<record id="column_heading">
                <flags id="alignment" value="centre" />
                <translation id="super_heading" translation_id="229306" type="use" value="Shooting[COMMENT - training category]" />
                <translation id="text" translation_id="394441" type="use" value="HiW[COMMENT: three letter abbreviation for Hit Woodwork, shots hitting the post or crossbar]" />
                <translation id="hint" translation_id="394582" type="use" value="Shots hit woodwork[COMMENT: player statistic type]" />
            </record>

So you may be able to add a similar line to the Set-Piece bits, you might also be able to move the dividers by playing around with what heading the existing ones are linked to.

 

 

[Colouring the main title bar, completely]

Have a look around the forum should be various threads discussing it over the last few years, but it's not a simple switch as text colours also need updating to team colours so they remain readable across different teams.

[[FM23] Base Skin NO FACES MOD V1.19 released on 31/03/2023]

If you are just wanting to remove the licensed faces and blank default faces and don't mind an empty space where they were.

Then you just need to extract the contents of the pictures/players folder from the default graphics fmf file.

Then delete the graphics from those folders but keep the config files, then place those config files in the graphics folder inside your user data location (or inside your skin if you only want the change to affect this skin) and that will remove all the licensed and default player faces.

(Though you may need to make sure the file path is not exactly the same as the default path - should be some posts about how to do this in the forum, as it gets brought up every couple of years)

[Coach Report Inbox Item]

Unless it has changed should be controlled by player scout reports inbox panel auto sized xml file found in the panels/player folder.

Recommendation code should be right at the bottom of the file - though text should be white? So might be controlled by a colour in settings file.

[[FM23] Scouting Knowledge]

I don't think you can get the bars back for FM23 as the knowledge is done in game code and looks to be a game wide change.

Quick question. What happens with this skin on full release. Do SI update the base skin from the beta meaning this skin is ‘out of date’ and you need to release another base skin? 

 

The only reason I ask is because I’ve downloaded this skin and made a few changes. Worried when the full release comes the game will update and ‘break’ my skin.

 

 

Yes, the Base Skin(s) and all skins in general will need updating after the full release and after the game gets patched, to account for any changes made in the game files.

[Logo & Kits does not appear]

@hasdgfas

If you are turning the skin cache back on try leaving it off.

Can also try renaming the facepack and logos folders to something more simple as caps, spaces and long folder names can sometimes cause issues.

Another option is instead of creating links to your graphics on the H drive, change your user data location to somewhere on the H drive.

[Logitech MX Master 3S buttons with Football Manager]

@Rivanov Not sure what the options are in Logi+ (or MAC version) but see if you can change the mode it is in - for example the Logitech software for my G602 mouse shortcuts only work in FM if the mouse software is set to automatic profile mode rather than on-board memory mode.

[Styling Match Score Area]

As @wkdsoul said the licensed comp stuff looks to be hardcoded, so at best you can edit or remove the comp specific screens or set them as the default for all comps, but doesn't look like we can set our own comp screens  

Hopefully if SI continue to expand it, they'll in future be linked to the comp IDs, but at moment best option is to put a request for it in the feature requests forum, (or add your voice to an existing request if it exists).

[Unable to find source of news line from mail]

Should be inbox headline panel xml file from panels\news_item_panels folder.

[Logo & Kits does not appear]

If you are having trouble installing graphics then have a read of this thread (follow the FM22 instructions for FM23):

 

[How To Change Font On Processing Panel]

The above file is for the top part of that screen.

The calendar bit is normally controlled by the processing calendar day panel xml file from the panels\game folder. 

Though the bit with the fixture might be controlled by one of the calender files found in the panels\generic folder.

However, as the file has been customized you just need to locate the processing or calender files that have been edited and then look at the code to change the colour, exact things you need to change will depend on changes made.

If you aren't the skin maker then best option is to check with them as they should know what they have changed.

[Laptop scaling]

Hey guys

i have been struggeling to wrap my head around this issue for awhile and now i'm asking 

how is it possible to make a (lets say) Club info page looks good and still able to scale for laptop users without losing too many of the panels etc.

is there a scaling code i'm missing ?

 

Thanks

 

Easiest way is to use the adaptive container class which will hide containers if there isn't enough space and combine them with selector panels so users with smaller screens can pick what info they want to show in the space - Look at how the Player Profile screen is set out. (However the club info screens tend to be picky over how many selector panels will work on them which limits your options).

[Custom Kit/Face on Player Profile Screen]

Looks like you have changed the font so you'll likely need to edit the kit_icon xml file that it pulls the code from, it should be located in the panels\generic folder extracted from the panels fmf file. Try lowering the font size or you can try adding an auto_size="all" bit of code to see if that will automatically resize the name to fit.

[Strange Blue Boxes FM23]

I take it you mean the purple boxes (inbox items on left and main inbox item panel), looks like those bits are now controlled by the bg tertiary colour by default.
