Football Manager 2018 Skins - FM 2018 FLUT skin dark - Version 2.1

FM 2018 FLUT skin dark - Version 2.1


Skin for FM 2018 regular career mode and widescreen (1920x1080).

This skin is compatible with cutout, DF11, scope and PMSC facepacks.



In this version, I included:
- “round country flags” and “round continents logos” specially made in metallic style by brian-q from sourtitoutsi. Those graphics will be displayed in the title bar.
- background maps for confederations, also made by brian-q. Thank you brian by your great work and for your collaboration!!!
- pitch textures for 3D match edited by myself

NEW pack of sites for news panel: If you want to replace the current news sites pack in the news panel by other different pack, you can download HERE a pack specially made by Doddo04 for dark FlutSkin. Thank you my friend!! The pack includes a read me file in order to know how to install it.

Once again, thanks to all FM fans (your suggestions keep me trying to make the skin better) and especially to all the fantastic FM skinners whose creativity contributes a lot to produce the FLUTSkin as it is today since FM 2013. Thank you all!!

    Released: 26 August, 2018

    A special thank you to PATRES10 from fmslovakia for the 2D default kits (especially tailor-made for FlutSkin).

    As always FlutSkin is completely free to download and I hope you enjoy it. However, this year, if you want, you can reward my work donating whatever amount you wish. Any small amount is really appreciated.

    You can do so by clicking the button down below:


    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 read me file in order to install the skin, the pitch textures addon and the default sidebar (I included two versions: a) "normal" sidebar; b) sidebar coloured according the club colour). I also 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 and VULRAK (with some contribution from myself and other FM Fans), HERE

    For those one who experience crashes during the match (for example, when a yellow card is shown) the “alt match in between highlights panels folder” contains a file (match in between highlights.xml) for replace the original one. That xml is from FlutSkin 1.1 and works well in this version. You just have to follow the instructions in the read me file.

    How to add Flut Skin in FM18

    Download and extract the .rar file (using either 7-Zip for Windows or The Unarchiver for Mac).

    Place the "fm2018flutskin_dark21" folder here:
    Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2018\skins

    1. Create the folder "skins" if it doesn't exist.
    2. Start FM18 and go to Preferences screen and then into the Interface tab.
    3. You should see FM 2018 Flut Skin dark - Version 2.1 as an option in the skin drop down of the Overview box.
    4. Hit the Confirm button.

    Please note this skin is provided as is. It has nothing to do with Sports Interactive or SEGA and won't be supported by them.

      Hi Flut again. With the 18.3 update i have an isue during half time and at end game, I cant talk to team. The screen is blanc.
    • gilb29's avatar
      Hi Flut, thanks for getting back :) quick as you can on the patch :) , i dont trust my assisitant team talks lol.......
    • ferociousblazze's avatar
      Hey Flut thanks for the great skin m8 !!! Since the last update the panel for the league table in the home screen is empty.
    • wozza2017's avatar
      hi couple of issues when downloading the update when I go to re confirm the skin still says 1.3 and not able to do team talks also
    • Flut's avatar
      Hi abbes and gilb: yes. You're right. Unfortunately SI changed again some codes in the update. However, I already fixed it for team talk and also for prematch opponent analysis in the inbox panel. In the next release of the skin those panels will be ok. If you notice any other panels that don't work now, please let me know.
    • abbes's avatar
      yeah, i can confirm, teamtalks doesn't work anymore.
    • Flut's avatar
      Hi gilb29: could you please put a screenshot?

      Hi IndioBaiano: as you know the skin only works well in 1920x1080 full window without zoom. However, you can edit that graphics.
      For the graphic on the right go to graphics/boxes/flut/pitchtectics for the sidebar, in the same folder you can edit the sb1.png

      Hi x8ball: go to client object browser.xml (inside the client_object folder) and delete the following code:

      <container width="50" >
      <attachment class="test_global_attachment" get_property="gset" value="false" set_property="hidn" />
      <layout class="arrange_horizontal_attachment" alignment="middle" offset="0" gap="0" />
      <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="vertical" apply_to_children="true" inset="0" />
      <widget class="edit_object_icon_button" id="edit" cant_be_toggled="true" icon="icons/16px/edit" icon_alignment="left" appearance="buttons/custom/interface/tab bar extras/normal/button" auto_size="none" multiline="false" width="50">
      <record id="primary_icon_properties" red_replacement="secondary" />
      <record id="secondary_icon_properties" red_replacement="secondary" />
      <attachment class="flash_colour_attachment" auto_start="false" rate="850">
      <colour id="first_colour" red="49" green="52" blue="63" />
      <colour id="second_colour" red="46" green="103" blue="182" />
      <flags id="colour_property" value="bkcl" />
      </attachment>
      </widget>
      </container>

      Hi fero: I really don’t know but certainly the problem is not related to the skin since the skin don’t have any influence on the faces you use.

    • gilb29's avatar
      since update 18.3 team talk options are now blank?
    • IndioBAIANO's avatar
      Hi Flut, thanks for the skin.

      I'm using at 1920x1080 / 85%.
      How can I fix this bottom part because it is not filling everything up.

    • x8ball's avatar
      Could you make a panel that makes the in game editor invisible?

      Im in year 2051, and i bought the editor after i reached 2050.
      And apparently i didnt uncheck that thing.

      And now the temptation is getting stronger and stronger!!
    • fero1907's avatar
      Hi Flut,

      I am having a problem for seeing cutout facepack. I do have both df11 and cutout in my graphics folder in one folder and create a new xml file. It was okay before but after update 1.5 I cant see cutout ones. Do you have any suggestions?
      thanks
    • Flut's avatar
      Hi Tsukahara: try to do it again. In fact if you change the code exactly as I told only the logo can be displayed since you deleted the code for default kit and for 2D front kit. I tested the changes in my game.
    • Tsukahara's avatar
      Appears in Flut stadium option.
    • Flut's avatar
      Hi Tsukahara: are you sure you are using the flut stadium option in the drop down arrow? What is exactly the name of the option you choose?
    • Tsukahara's avatar
      Hi Flut!!, shirt still remains in player photo (player profile3.xml)
      what I did wrong????

    • Flut's avatar
      Hi nikolaosaek: I tested in my game and the hidden sidebar works well before, during and after the match you talked about. Maybe there is a conflict among skins in your game....
    • Flut's avatar
      Hi Zeus: Thanks. In fact I can’t explain but it seems that the caption appears randomly. I already changed the xml by the original one and it’s the same. However I tested also with the default skin and the behaviour of the caption is similar (it appears randomly, not always, and the information is the “assists”; only when is a penalty it appears the number of goals scored by the player).

      Hi ingey: could you please show a screenshot?

      Hi kfnielsen: I already answered this question. Please go to page 12 (an answer for troy).

      Hi nikolaosaek: When it happens in my game I will try to take a look on it. Regarding the other bug maybe is due a font you include in the game. Last year the skin had a similar bug and I found that the cause is the fonts. That’s why this year I almost not change anything in the fonts folder of the game.
    • nikolaosaek's avatar
      I mean that the hidden sidebar works fine. About end of February when the youth players come for test and play vs the U20 normaly at the sidebar thare is an extra icon under the U20 for the youth on trial. That icon stays about 3-4 days until the youth game is over and you give or not contracts to the new players. During that days the sidebar dont work and start working again after that 3-4 days.
      2nd. My game run out of memory and crash. Any ideas??
    • kfnielsen's avatar
      Hi flut
      If I want to change the Match intro from default to EPL
      what do I do?
      cheers
    • ingey1968's avatar
      Sorry if this was asked but i wanted the sidebar NOT hidden. i did what the folder said, all my sidebars are black, how do i get the team color ones back
    • zeus1976's avatar
      boas amigo flut antes de mais obrigado pelo teu trabalho que é muito bom e o que eu uso a alguns anos.

      queria so fazer uma pequena correçao, quando um golo é marcado so aparece a imagem do marcador no primeiro golo depois nao aparece mais e ainda por cima aparece quem assistiu e não o numero de golos que tem.

      mais uma vez obrigada.
    • Tsukahara's avatar
      Thanks a lot for help Flut!!!
    • Flut's avatar

      Much appreciated!
