Football Manager 2017 Skins - FM 2017 FLUT skin dark - Final Version

FM 2017 FLUT skin dark - Final Version


Skin for FM 2017 regular career mode and widescreen (1920x1080).


This is the FLUTSKIN - Dark for FM 2017 - Final Version

I would like to start by expressing my acknowledgment to all FMfans who keep me motivated to edit the FlutSkin with kind words of support and stimulus.
In spite of my great recognition to all FM Skinners and graphic/addons producers that make our FM experience much more exciting, I would like to express a special thank you to PATRES10, for the tailor-made default kits I included in the skin; to NECJEFF, for the original creation of country locator that I adapted in Flutskin; to JOVOVICH, for the wonderful match intro panels; to SIRWILL and PIKAWA, for the match scoreboards I included in the skin; and, “last but not the least”, to RUNE, who has always shared his ideas with me, was responsible for the most innovative idea to improve FM skins visual – the citypics – and who has been a “compagnon de route” since the beginning of this journey.
All of you are the main source of inspiration that has made possible to improve FlutSkin since the first time (in FM13) I decided to try to edit a skin.


About the Final Version
This version does not include "structural" (or big) changes. It includes, however, several tweaks in different panels, namely in the following:
  • News panel: pre-season report team preview, post match analysis, pre-match opponent analysis and team report panel tweaked
  • Match preview, Match overview and Match pre-match panel: all the lineups in those panels were tweaked
  • Match titlebar score: scoreboard was tweaked
  • Flut match scoreboard (tweaked)
  • Match introduction: League one, Serie A, K League, Bundesliga included (from Jovovich); Liga NOS included (non official intro, made based on EPL league)
  • Board room (“new”)
  • Club overview panel: slightly larger club kits and Last XI tweaked.

I hope you enjoy this version!
See you in FM18!!!

Compatible with DF11 and Scope Faces

Released: 27 August, 2017

Resolution requirements:
This skin was made to work properly in 1920x1080 (1080p) full screen mode. As a result, some panels won’t work properly in other resolutions (and also in 1920x1080 windowed mode).


IMPORTANT NOTES:
In this pack I included a TUTORIAL PDF with instructions regarding the structure of your Graphics folder in order to view the citypics, the kits and the competition logos in player details and in title bar.

You can download the 2D kits for displayed in player overview panel and titlebar HERE

You also can download the citypics (and much more…) in the Backgrounds Superpack made by DAZS8 (with some contribution from myself and other FM Fans), HERE

    Thanks a lot man.

    That's too bad about the personality attributes, I don't understand why put them in the game if they aren't gonna give you enough feedback about them.
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi Sqnalkel:
    1. You can simply delete the following folder: graphics\icons\custom\star rating

    2. Here you have to edit many xml

    human profile popup panel
    inbox content with training focus panel
    non player attributes panel
    player additional attributes panel
    player additional attributes panel1
    player attributes comparison panel
    player attributes panel match
    player attributes panel overview inbox
    player attributes panel3box
    player attributes panel4box
    player attributes tactics panel
    player attributes training panel
    player training attirbute changes
    tactics set pieces panel

    I can’t tell you what you should change in each one of them. But you can try to search for all code similar to the following

    <list id="column_properties">
    <record indx="0" alignment="left,centre_y,can_scale" />
    <record indx="1" alignment="centre,can_scale" font="fonts/ProximaNova-Bold1" colour="white" size="13" appearance="boxes/custom/attributes/paper" >
    <boolean id="use_attribute_colour_as_bg" value="true" />
    <flags id="attribute_value_colour" value="white" />
    </record>
    </list>

    And try to change by:
    <list id="column_properties">
    <record indx="0" alignment="left, centre_y"/>
    <record indx="1" alignment="left, centre_y" auto_size="vertical" spec="text" colour="selection"/>
    </list>


    3. Go to the fonts folder of the skin and open the file text.xml
    You can edit the font size in the code:

    <string id="file_name" value="ProximaNova-Reg.otf"/>
    <real id="font_size_xxsmall" value="6.7" /> <!-- 9px -->
    <real id="font_size_xsmall" value="8.1" /> <!-- 11px -->
    <real id="font_size_small" value="8.8" /> <!-- 12px -->
    <real id="font_size_normal" value="9.7" /> <!-- 13px -->
    <real id="font_size_large" value="11.2" /> <!-- 15px -->
    <real id="font_size_xlarge" value="13.7" /> <!-- 18px -->
    <real id="font_size_xxlarge" value="16.6" /> <!-- 22px -->

    4. In fact I think that those attributes only can be displayed if you have the ingame editor. If you don’t have it the values don’t will be shown (I tried last year to make it visible without success).

    Hi Flut, thanks for the skin.
    Is there a way I can change the rating stars, specially the half stars are hardly visible, which when you are looking at a long list of players is really annoying. I want to use the one the ones from Vitrex but even the default ones are OK. The Vitrex ones are a little better because it's easier to distinguish between actual empty stars and potentially empty/full stars.

    Also I don't like Attributes with Background Boxes as default, I would like to return the normal as default, plus I can't disable the boxes at all when comparing players.

    Finally is it possible to reduce the size of all fonts, though that's not a big problem since I can just use the 'Size of Text & Images' at 95%, it just reduces the text a little tad too much and well it reduces the images but it works.

    One suggestion I could do is to make the Personality Attributes visible just like you did for Versatility, Injury Proneness, etc. The game itself barely give you any information about them and they are really important. It would be great if they were only visible after a player have been a season or two at your team, but what can you do it's really completely visible like you did for Versatility, Injury Proneness, etc. or not at all.

    Thanks a lot for you work, I love you skins.

    Hi nikke: If you want to change the colour of background boxes do the following:

    1. Go to settings.xml and open it

    2. Search for:
    <colour name="unknown attribute background" red="227" green="178" blue="110"/>
    <colour name="low attribute background" red="246" green="42" blue="42"/>
    <colour name="normal attribute background" red="255" green="156" blue="0"/>
    <colour name="good attribute background" red="15" green="158" blue="15" />
    <colour name="excellent attribute background" red="20" green="247" blue="28" />

    3. Change the values of red, green and blue 4. save the changes 5 . Reload the game cheers

    Hey Flut! Awesome skin! I would like to change the colour of the players attributes, and am looking in the settings folder, where I have changed this line in the fm2017flutskindark settings.xml file:
    <!-- profile attribute colours -->
    <colour name="low attribute" red="250" green="250" blue="250" alpha="140"/>
    <colour name="normal attribute" red="250" green="250" blue="250" alpha="200"/>
    <colour name="good attribute" red="159" green="220" blue="122" />
    <colour name="excellent attribute" red="255" green="0" blue="255" />
    However, the colours don't change ingame. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong, and which lines I have to change to change the attributes colours in player profiles?

  • Flut's avatar
    Hi wise: thanks. This is the first report about it. Since it seems everything works fine in my game, in order to take a look, could you please send me two screenhots - one with the correct view and the equivalent with the bug? I will take a look in order to try to find the problem and also try to fix it for the next release.....
  • wise90's avatar
    Yes I did. With normal skin and other skins taken on this site everything works perfectly.
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi wise: Did you try with other skin in order to analyse if this only happens with this skin?
  • wise90's avatar
    Hi man, thanks for this fantastic skin! I have this problem....Match on Tuesday and Friday, instead of Wednesday and Saturday...

    Hi Beltsu: Thanks. I just finished to sent you a PM.

    Hi p.froide: I never heard that kind of problem with the skin. Maybe there are a conflict with other skins...I really don't know. Try to clean the cache, exit the game, keep only this skin in the skins folder and reload the game.

    Hi. I've an error with this one and the white one. When I start a game, the game go out with an error and I'm forced to quit the game with an error. Any clue of why is this happen ? Thanks :)
  • Beltsu's avatar
    Hi there!

    This skin looks great, but I can't get myself to use it. Would love to, but I play on a 15´laptop. I usually play on 1900x1080 on a 125%, so that the fonts don't get too small. Any plans to have it compatible on a 125% zoom mode? Thanks.
