ArtDekDok,

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet, but on the player profile overview page, where the panel with the attributes is, there is the button for "highlight attributes for role" (just below "recent attribute changes"). This actually doesn't work or show what it is supposed to. Instead of giving options to see which attributes are required for playing every role, it shows which attributes are trained for each role available based on the positional competence of the player. Can this be fixed and if yes, now?

Thanks

I don't like this button options too, and I can't fix this issue

Is it still possible to give us a idea on the line of code to change please?

[cachirro]

can you help me change this?

i want a cleaner page with less sections, so i ask you if you can create the xml to look like this:

1. that "posicoes" section, to take all the space down, some height as the left sections

2. add more options to the dropdown list of sections i can select

3. change the player picture to 180x180 format

4. add a border (like the ones you can see between the middle sections, preferably with same size) on the left and on the right

thank you very much

What more options you need in dropdown list ?

What resolution you are using?

you can add in the dropdown all that you can, and the resolution is 1680x1050. thanks

[Vaggi]

open "player stats panel.xml" go to <widget class="table" try change layout from -4 to -5 or -6 (not all -4 layout) and -14 to -13 or -12 or -11

Cheers ArtDekDok it worked like a charm!

You are legend sir

[cachirro]

try to limit the size of the container and see if it helps

[mortiis7]

where is that exactly? can you help maybe?

[dinthead]

Is it possible to make the attributes highlighted like they do on the attributes page.

At the minute it's like this.

Is it possible to make them like this.

[cachirro]

where is that exactly? can you help maybe?

<container width="X" height="Y">

use your values, on the size you want to limit, height or width, and see if it helps or not.

[Chicha_14]

Sorry to bother you fella but I don't get what you mean when copying the files.

In each folder there is multiple xml and graphic folders which ask you to overwrite if you move them into the same folders.

[deanoh1310]

any ideas? the probleam started after the latest update

[Jpastore]

Really is a noob question but when I download the panels it doesn't give me an option of what to use to open them

[Britrock]

any ideas? the probleam started after the latest update

I got the same thing. This has now become this. None of the dropdown menus on the blank containers work either to correct it in game

[MisterX]

A bit funny: Above the attributes of a player was stated 'Attributes No Scroll Bar' and then the Attributes are with scroll bar

What do I have to do to change to have indeed no scroll bar?

If it is also correctly that you doesn't change the panels of the nations? They are still the default ones...

Note: I renamed 'Attributes No Scroll Bar' to 'Eigenschappen' and 'Player statistics' to 'spelereigenschappen'. Normally i play the game in Dutch. Change the language to English for the screenshot. My first change in a skin ever

edit:

Hi artdekdok

I have downloaded your excellent work but my screen resolution is 1366*768 so this is what I see in the player profile.

- IMAGE -

My question is if you could manage this profile view to have more options, like you have. I know your screen resolution is higher, but maybe it could work for me. For instance, Positions could be smaller and that would leave space for one more option. Thanks and sorry for the trouble.

cheers

you are the man

only two little problems as you can check

This files makes it better (Less scrolling is necessary, but it is still needed), but the right part of the screen isn't working. The only part that's working is the layout. No text. Everything in the row of contract and Career stats are empty. My laptop has also the resolution 1366*768.

It would be great if someone can help me

[bluemoon]

I've got the same problem as Britrock. It's a shame because these panels have been great up to now.

[JonasThern]

Yup, it became a problem after the last patch release. I can't solve it.

[dj90]

my right panel is empty and arrow when I need select is dark, wahts problem

[JonasThern]

What skins are you guys using?

[MisterX]

What skins are you guys using?

FM14 Base Skin. Downloaded the new 14.2 version, but same problem still occurs. I hope you could help me...

[MisterX]

I found a workaround for my problem by using this thread. Not perfect, some letters/pictures are cut. See for example the training box:

Another issue occurs at the clubpage:

It only occurs at the 3 points, i can change the other boxes. But i'm not the only one with this problem, i see

[Hero of the Day]

I have the same problem as Britrock. It has only occurred since the most recent update.

[Alvios1973]

For me the same problem too... After the last patch my club overview panel look like this:

1. Some columns empty

2. No clickable

[wkdsoul]

Whats the graphics location for just the general see through main menu panels? i wanna put the sky sports edging graphic around the box? i trid updating the plain folder but only half have changed

the several on this page -> http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=9teole&s=5

[JonasThern]

This last patch is everything but good for the game. Its messing with all the game. Anotar situacionista for me is went i to to my shortlist, the line that separates the search options and the players, is in the bottom. If i pull the line up and then i went and out from a player profile, the line automatic goes to the bottom again.

[andreas35]

same problem too, can we do something?

[michaeltmurrayuk]

Deleting your cache files might solve the problem, follow the instructions here: http://www.footballmanager.com/faq/?game=38&id=217 also try deleting your preferences as stated here: http://www.footballmanager.com/faq/?game=38&id=218 (export any custom views first)

Does not work for me.

[bluemoon]

They didn't work for me either.

[Hero of the Day]

Nor me!!

[mortiis7]

what skin u guys use?

i dont wanna install new patch just because of this..(also i've heard new patch is terrible)

[petergoddard]

No problems here usign the alavanja skin

[mortiis7]

im using early version of scorpio...anyone having trouble there?

[begoodpam]

Happy New Year to all user's,

I how can i solve this issue in the red circle, it doesn't show the "Standings", or tell me the name of that panel?

http://imgur.com/IBsGUX6

[Damien37]

any new version of the panels so they can work on the new patch?

[Hero of the Day]

Anyone got this fixed when using the dark skin? Very frustrating, i was loving the panels!

EDIT: It also appears to not work with other skins either (just tried with the Alavanja Perfection skin).

[Coach_casa]

Let me start this post by saying that while I’ve been playing FM for many years, I’ve never change skins or done mods before, so I’m a complete newbie to this. I downloaded the Dark Skin and began using it with no problems. Then I downloaded your files and followed your directions about creating a Panels folder in my FM2014 folder (I know I’m in the correct place) and put the .xml files and graphics folders where you instructed. I then cleared the cache in my game and clicked the reload skin box before clicking the reload skin button. After the reload, nothing changes. I still have the dark skin, but none of your mods show up. Even re-started the game with no success. Has anyone else had this problem? I’m guessing I’m doing something wrong, but at this point I can’t figure out what. One guess is that so not to confuse similar named .xml files I actually copied the panels folders into the new main panel folder I created and gave each of them the name of the original folder with “panel” at the end of the name. So in my new main panels folder I now have 10 nested panels folders that contain all of the .xml files I downloaded. Could this be causing the problem? I appreciate any help.

[Hero of the Day]

I just opened up each folder; club overview, competition transfer rumors etc, and pulled each graphics and panels folder into "fm dark-widgets" folder. It will ask for you to merge folders (say yes) same with any individual files that need overwriting. In the end you should have only the one graphics and panels folder each.

[mortiis7]

is this still working with fm dark-widgets skin? (early version of scorpio)?

[deserter]

Ok, I had this as well. I then went to debugging mode to find out what was wrong.

I opened the club overview panel and quickly saw where the problem was if not what it was. After a while I concentrated on just one of the empty boxes.

XML-wise the boxes are constructed like this: there's an element with id="cosX" where X is 1,2,3,A,B,C etc. Within these elements are widget elements. Each of these widgets can be chosen (when it works like it should) from the drop down menu in-game.

So I took cosA and commented out all but the first (default choice) widget. Now the box worked in-game. I then uncommented the second widget. Still working. I continued this until I had uncommented all of them. Still working. I had ended up with exactly the same code, but now it was working and before it wasn't. I tried to change from fark to light version of the skin. They both previously had the same problem, but now neither did.

Next step was to comment out all but the first widget in all cosX-elements, verify that they worked, then uncomment them. It proved to be a solution for all but the last cos-element. There I had to axe the "show fixtures"-link from the bottom of the widget to get it working.

So, in the end I had the same file, only now it was working where before it wasn't. It remains a bit of a mystery. I'm almost ashamed to post this as a solution because it's not very elegant and I lack understanding of what is going on. It was pretty much impossible to pinpoint the problem when I was unable to reproduce it after fixing it. There must be some file stored somewhere (in AppData most likely) that was somehow "stuck" if you may and you can apparently get it "unstuck" by doing some rituals like this.

Edit: You might have success with deleting everything FM related from your AppData and reinstalling.

The recent patches did something with the ids in some files, that seems to be fixed by getting the game to re-read the xml files, I went through the same non-editing of some of my files as you did to get them working.

[Hero of the Day]

What do you mean by 'commented' and 'uncommented'?

I presume I just have to edit the club overview panel and player overview panel?

Thanks.

[deserter]

Those files indeed, although I didn't have an issue with player overview.

Commented out as in using <!-- and -->

Like this: <!-- section of xml code you want the game to ignore here-->

Then have the skin reloaded in-game.

Uncommented as in removing those same thingies.

I imagine you could just make a backup of the original file, delete stuff from the original, reload skin, restore the backup.

[mortiis7]

im not sure what exactly we should do...:S

[JayArr]

Yeah, I'd really appreciate a broken-down set of instructions. I've been able to disable and re-enable currently working panels on the club overview screen, but I have no idea how to get the broken ones to work.

[mortiis7]

i still didnt install new patch cuz im afraid its gonna ruin my panels :S
