Great, I found thanks. Unfortunately this directly leads to the next question In there, the Link to SI support pages are defined like following: <record id="guIB"> <translation id="text" translation_id="551807" type="use" value="Guides[COMMENT: AREA: FM Menu; SUB-AREA: Support; FR-BN: FM-4106; TONE: Formal; CHARLIMIT: None; REF-ID: XXXXXX; NOTE; links to guides]" /> <flags id="event_id" value="sGui" /> <flags id="mode" value="1" /> </record> Where do I find the definiton for <flags id="event_id" value="sGUI" /> and which action it actually triggers? I checked through all extracted original Files but "sGUI" is nowhere to be found except in a couple of game.xml files... The background is, if you add external content links to pages, the FM button disappears... It gets replaced with either the Icon you have assigned (kind of faded version) or with nothing if no Icon assigned. However, in SIs implementation this does NOT happen. FM Icon stays untouched, so this must have something to do with how external references are called... For now this works like: <record> <translation id="text" type="use" value="Ultrarealistic NewGen Faces"/> <flags id="event_id" value="OURL"/> <flags id="url" value="https://fm.zweierkette.de/grafiken-mods/ultrarealistic-newgan-faces/"/> <flags id="icon" value="icons/custom/rr"/> </record> and this leads to the result, that the orginal Button assigned to the menu, gets replaced with a shaded version of the icon assigned to the content entry... So has anyone an idea on how to avoid this behaviour?

Hi all, which file do I need to extract, to get the full menus/game.xml file including the following:

Good morning, I'd really like to learn and understand soemthing which I seem to completely miss so far - It's something from Tato Skin but I think it might be something really basic I miss here - so maybe I can get some answer here... I tried to extend something within his skin (selectable panel in club overview): As you can see, I tried adding the technical directory and it fails... So I checked the the code for the file responsible for that (club overview staff extended panel.xml) and it starts like: <!--manager--> <container class="tato" default_height="60" priority="1"> <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" inset="0" apply_to_children="true" /> <container id="manC"> <layout class="arrange_horizontal_attachment" layout="-1,-2" /> <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="vertical" inset="0" apply_to_children="true" /> <widget class="label" alignment="left,centre_y" size="9"> <translation id="text" translation_id="227981" type="use" value="Manager" /> </widget> <widget class="person_snapshot_club_overview_panel" file="club/woz/tab/person snapshot club overview manager" id="mana" player="false"> <record id="object_property"> <integer id="get_property" value="TMnR" /> <integer id="set_property" value="objt" /> </record> </widget> </container> <container id="nomC"> <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" inset="0" apply_to_children="true" /> <widget class="object_action_button" id="oabt" action_id="TCpJ"> <record id="object_property"> <integer id="get_property" value="objt" /> <integer id="set_property" value="objt" /> </record> </widget> </container> </container> <container class="tato" red_replacement="woz_3rd" default_height="60" priority="1"> <layout class="arrange_horizontal_attachment" layout="-1,-2" /> <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="vertical" inset="0" apply_to_children="true" /> <widget class="label" alignment="left,centre_y" size="9"> <translation id="text" translation_id="227983" type="use"/> </widget> <widget class="person_snapshot_club_overview_panel" file="club/woz/tab/person snapshot club overview ass" id="cmta" player="false"> <record id="object_property"> <integer id="get_property" value="CMTA" /> <integer id="set_property" value="objt" /> </record> </widget> </container> While for the first entry we have: <integer id="get_property" value="TMnR" /> which seems logical for me as it can be found in person properties.xml and does relate to the manager, for the second widget call (assistant manager) we have this: <translation id="text" translation_id="227983" type="use"/> </widget> <widget class="person_snapshot_club_overview_panel" file="club/woz/tab/person snapshot club overview ass" id="cmta" player="false"> <record id="object_property"> <integer id="get_property" value="CMTA" /> <integer id="set_property" value="objt" /> </record> </widget> and as you can see in the picture - it does properly display the assistant manager. So I thought adding another staff person (technical director in this case) should work like: <container class="tato" red_replacement="woz_3rd" default_height="60" priority="1"> <layout class="arrange_horizontal_attachment" layout="-1,-2" /> <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="vertical" inset="0" apply_to_children="true" /> <widget class="label" alignment="left,centre_y" size="9"> <translation id="text" translation_id="482629" type="use"/> </widget> <widget class="person_snapshot_club_overview_panel" file="club/woz/tab/person snapshot club overview td" id="PPtd" player="false"> <record id="object_property"> <integer id="get_property" value="PPtd" /> <integer id="set_property" value="objt" /> </record> </widget> </container> PPtd is the definition in person properties.xml - but it fails. When I rechecked what might be wrong, I realized that only the first definiton for the manager has a valid reference to person properties.xml: <integer id="get_property" value="TMnR" /> However <integer id="get_property" value="CMTA" /> as used for the assistant manager does not. Actually this is nowhere to be found other than in this particular xml... Same goes for all other displayed staff people, none of the <integer id="get_property" value="*" /> definitions actually match with person properties.xml - still they all do work properly - except the one I added So obviously I miss on something very basic here in my understanding how this is adressed. In particular, because of all the referenced subpanels called, like: <widget class="person_snapshot_club_overview_panel" file="club/woz/tab/person snapshot club overview ass" id="cmta" player="false"> are pretty much identical - except the attributes shown, which are aligning to the functionality. I would really be glad, if someone can explain to me what I obviously do not know and understand yet and what I miss in basic understanding how that adressing works...

I really like this view... So I tried to extend and add the Technical Director - which is "KEY-482629: Technical Director". As you can see, it translates properly, so the key seems to be fine. So for displaying the TD, I copied the file from DOF and hoped it would appear - however it does not. Comparing the individual "person snapshot club overview xxx" xmls, I realized that they are pretty much identical - besides the displayed attributes of course. so I was prepared to adjust them once the TD shows up. As I'd also would like to add the Loan manager as well (not sure if the panel scales but could easily remove the manager here, as it does show on the Key Persons tab as well, so that should work at least) , I'd like to learn what I overlook here in the calling widget, so the adressed person shows up? The code I use to call the TD (additional xml) is: <container class="tato" red_replacement="woz_3rd" default_height="60" priority="1"> <layout class="arrange_horizontal_attachment" layout="-1,-2" /> <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="vertical" inset="0" apply_to_children="true" /> <widget class="label" alignment="left,centre_y" size="9"> <translation id="text" translation_id="482629" type="use"/> </widget> <widget class="person_snapshot_club_overview_panel" file="club/woz/tab/person snapshot club overview td" id="PPtd" player="false"> <record id="object_property"> <integer id="get_property" value="PPtd" /> <integer id="set_property" value="objt" /> </record> </widget> </container> Hope someone can help me with that... Just to add, if there is no one on a particluar position, it does show porperly... So something must be dead wrong with my approach for displaying the TD I my two examples, both Clubs (Bayern, Kaiserslautern) do have a TD of course

New day, new issue I lately copied Ben's addtion to the team squad view - as I like the short summary of additonal information of the team. As you can see, it's working fine so far. However, as soon as I switch to a different team and into their squad overview - all values get lost. When I return to my own squad - they stay in lost status. Only reloading the skin does bring them back. So I think I miss some kind of "refresh" mechanism here, which might be implemented somehwere in the skins where it's working properly. Can someone push me into the right direction what I need to look for, to make it work properly? Thanks in advance...

Oh, good you mentioned it - I lamost forgot... Yes, it does show owner - but only when the club owns the stadium. If it's the city or community it doesnt show anything... Still, I'm sure it did in the past. So I did some cross checking and found out, it relates to potential inconsistency in the database.... For example: Malmö FF - owner Malmö FF owner type is club AIK Solna - owner empty owner type council Degerfors IF - owner is Degerfors IF owner type is council So even though both Solna and Degerfors do NOT own the stadium, it does show the clubname as it's nevertheless set as owner in the database. So I think it's the better approach to switch the call (and class for the widget) to something like <widget class="stadium_owner_type_label" spec="text,large,bold" id="Soty" size="10" colour="yellow" alignment="centre_x,top,can_scale" icon_alignment="left,top" icon_enabled="false" font="fonts/capitals_bold"> <record id="object_property"> <integer id="get_property" value="Soty" /> </record> </widget> which I did and now get the wanted result. Now you can see if actually the club owns the stadium or the council (or whatever is set as stadium type owner) - which was the initial purpose... Thanks for pointing into the right direction!

I agree, he is very helpful and I already did ask him on that, Unfortunately, he doesn't know either why it's not working. That's why I thought to come here and ask if something has changed...

It's still weird anyway - this is a part of the satdium overview page from Flut skin The code for this is: <widget class="club_button" spec="text,large,bold" id="Sown" size="10" colour="yellow" alignment="centre_x,top,can_scale" icon_alignment="left,top" icon_enabled="false" font="fonts/capitals_bold"> <record id="object_property"> <integer id="get_property" value="Sown" /> </record> </widget> </container>

Where do I find it? I have extracted all panels from the game but it does not exist...

In the past (for sure up until and including FM23) it was able to display the stadium owner with a simple <integer id="get_property" value="Sown" /> definition. Unfortunately, this no longer shows a result. Did the value to get the stadium owner displayed change?

can someone give me a quick explanation what actually the "inset="*" instruction does?

Yes, this was the start to be able to adjust the subst panel inside game - thanks

Just a minor question and hoping somebody can help. While having fun with the game, I regularly switch between SAS and Flut Skin - as I like both a lot. During the 3 D Match, I realized a difference within the substitute sceen. One shows the icons, whil ethe other one shows the % So I checked into the code and to my surprise the code is pretty much identical - in the end its like <widget class="icon_button" id="qsub" .... with slightly differering format options. So both skins call the same ID cbut get a different result? Further checks for any appearance of "qsub" within any panel was unsuccesful, so I assume it comes from the original game rather then from one of the two individual skins. However, if so how can the same call end up with different panels? I would really like to understand how to define which version of the substitution panel will be displayed. Any help would be very appreciated...

I did some further investigation and here's what I found out: The actual configuration of your custom defined panels will only save, if you end the game from the menu. I tracked the preferences folder and saw that the xml storing this (I think it was popup_selector_view_state.xml) actually CHANGES when you do adjustment to customizable panel, but only when you switch to another view. However this does NOT seem to be persistent unless you regularly end the game through game menu. If you restart the game, load your save, everything is still there. Unfortunately, when you are reloading a savegame once you're in your running save, this will sooner or later (not sure when it EXACTLY happens) reset the panel. If you now end you're game through menu - you lost your cumstomer defined panels. The only way out of this nightmare is, that once you realize the panel has reset - save your game and end the FM through taskmanager. If you now restart the game, your panel configuration is still there... One more addition to this - whenever you switch a skin back and forth, you're configuration will reset as well. This might be due to the fact, that there is no preference file for customer panel configuration based on skin but only one in general. Hope this helps and gives the team some indication where to look at....

Same issue here. This is not only happening with the profile player panel but rather everywhere, where you can switch content. On the home page as well as in preferences the option is NOT ticked. Just in case it got mixed up and would potentially do the opposite - I ticked the box with no change in behaviour. So to me it looks as this is currently broken.
