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

    Dear FM Fans: As you can see above I released a new version of the skin with many changes. However, I would like to inform you to the fact that in spite of my efforts, unfortunately I couldn’t find the bug responsible for some crashes related to low memory that arise sometimes. Despite that, I am very satisfied with the “final” result of this version and I hope you enjoy it!!!!
    Happy New Year for all of you!!!

    I got the same bug... allways after some games i run out of memory :-/
  • jaseyboy's avatar
    not everybody is getting this bug* thus reason why noone is reporting it but iv heard xmls is culprit?
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi jaseyboy: Unfortunately I couldn’t find yet what file(s) causes that bug that arise sometimes. Sorry.

    Hi armbi: You can try to edit the colour in titlebar search panel.xml.

    Hi alain marion: Thanks. Regarding your questions
    1. You can remove it but if you use de drop down arrow the option “profile fluT already is the picture without the background.
    2. In order to change the colour of background boxes in attributes go to the settings.xml and change the values in
    <!-- background attribute box colours Flut 17 v1 -->
    <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" />

    Don’t forget you have to exit the game and reload it.

    3. For flutdarksinFM16 you can do the same for change the attributes background colour.

    like the skin very much but one problem after so long within the game football manager 2017 runs out of memory? i used other skins before all fine but Flut not such good luck.. hope you can fix this bug
  • armbi's avatar
    OK, Flut maybe you will help me. I asked on SI official forum but they I got now answer. Look at the screen, the colour tone of the club name in the titlebar is different the on the bar below. And when I try to change club colour in the in-game editor only that below bar react, the main titlebar has kinda fixed colour which tones cannot be changed.Screen...
  • Bartdude's avatar
    You're welcome Flut. Too many other skin creators,unlike yourself use the tiny text from the default skin and it's awful ! Also the down arrow on the title bar is a must for me as it makes like for like comparisons that much easier and it's almost always not added on other skins.
  • alain marion's avatar
    Hello,Flut!Congrats for your really good job!I have three questions for you:1)How can I remove the blue background from the player΄s foto as seen from the fotos above?2)How can I change the colour of attribute number΄s backgrounds?Can I make these changes in the same way at flutdarkskin2016?
  • armbi's avatar
    ok, I tried FM default skins white and dark version and there is the same problem so I guess it's game problem not your skin.
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi armbi: could you please include a screenshot?

    Hi bartdude: I really appreciate your words and support. Thank you!!!!
  • Bartdude's avatar
    A good update to an already great skin. Easily the best currently available for FM17 and I've try them all !!
  • armbi's avatar
    Hi FLUT! I got problem with your skin. It is about titlebar colorus which I can't change with the editor or the in-game editor because skin changes it for the fixed colorus, not tones I set.
  • nunixnunix04's avatar
    Nevermind, I think I did it. For anyone that is interested in knowing how to do what I described in my previous comment: go to panels/match and then delete the file "match team stats floating." This will make the attributes that show up in the team ratings box to be the same as in the default skin.
  • nunixnunix04's avatar
    Hello, Flut, I have a question about how to edit the skin. I'd like to know how to set the home/away team ratings box during a match to be set to default. The way it is in your skin, unless the box's width is maxed out, a lot of important stats are missing that are usually shown on default. Basically, I want to be able to keep the team ratings box's width pretty small but still have it show Condition, Match Rating, Goals, and Assists.(which in the default skin, they are the first four attributes to show up)

    Could you tell me where the information for this is stored?
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi Emil: thanks for your kind words. I really appreciate it and I attribute them a great value because you are an amazing skin maker!!! I make my own your words. Your Vitrex skin is amazing and also always very original. Thanks for your work (also for the other stuff you do for FM) and keep up your great work!!

    Hi Patrik: thanks!!! It is my pleasure work with you in your beautiful kits. As you know, I consider that your kits style is the best kits style I ever saw for FM world!!! cheers my friend.

    Hi pmpou: in fact I also can't see those images. Please put another screenshot.

    Hi greber: try to remove the file non player attributes panel.xml (locaed in panels/non_player

    Hi zeus: no, you can't fix it. The stadiums are made by the SI games and the skins don't change it. However if you go to "skinning hideout" site you can find a thread about it (and there is a way to edit some aspects of the stadiums)

    Hi tintin: the folders I talked about are in my docs/sports interactive/football manager 2017/graphics
    1
  • tintin1980's avatar
    Hey Flut. The problem I mentioned earlier with the folders, is that their isn't ana pictures in these folders, just some shadowed pre-pictures. Are the pictures in some other folders, that has to moved?
  • zeus1976's avatar
    Good Morning.

    Why is the dragon stadium in game FM2017 in 3d mode have this configuration?

    It does not correspond to reality! The stadium of the dragon is much bigger, the same happens with the stadium of alvalade XVII.

    Is there anything I can fix?

    thank you
  • gcreber's avatar

  • EmilDebski's avatar
    Congrats with the new update amigo. Really great work. As a fellow skinner, i know how much it takes to create a great skin - and especially being original, and creative in ones work. If i didn't have my own Vitrex skin project, i'll would definetely be using your skin.

    Keep up the good work, and always stay original! :-)
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi tintin: for stadiums, players, citypics and so on the skin work as the others. You should have those images in the graphics folder of the game (the citypics in the pictures folder with a name starting, for instance by "a" in order to be read by the game as the first folder in the pictures folder). Only is different for some "special" stuff (like the kit in the player profile...). For that you have to strictly follow the tutorial I included.
  • tintin1980's avatar
    Hi Flut, I having problems getting the pictures in the game, such as stadiums, citypics etc. I really don't understand your tutorial. Is it so, that I should move around some folders, from other folders in the file?
    I would love to post a picture, to show how my folders look. But can't figure how to??
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi pottersmad: sorry but i don't plan to adapt the skin for other resolution.

    Hi pmpou: I can't see your screenshot; could you please put another?
