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.

    • Flut's avatar
      Hi vonreichsm: go to inbox item.xml and change

      <container id="resp" class="bordered_box" appearance="boxes/bordered/standard/paper13" red_replacement="primary">

      by

      <container id="resp" class="bordered_box" appearance="">

      you also can keep all the code and only change the red_replacement by an other colour you want.

      Hi Bartdude: Thanks for your support along all these years. And, of course, thanks for the exception you did. I really appreciated your donation :)

      Hi vanja: sorry but I don't remember how to fix it. I remember I had that problem in FM13 or FM14 and I solved it but now I really don't remember how. I think it is related to an overlay.png or an effect.png of the default kits...

      Hi fascinoso: you're welcome!!

      Hi jorginio: thanks for your support!!

      Just gets better ! Although I'm against payments,in principle,of FM community content,on this occasion I can only applaud and appreciate the work that has gone into the Flut skins over the years and I'm happy to make a contribution as a thank you for what is,for me,the best skins ever seen in FM.
    • vonholzminden's avatar
      Hi Flut, thanks for the help. I´ve tested it and it´s better if i change the "all" inset from 0 to 15.

      Another thing. I´m coach from 1860 munich and i´ve problems to read some text at the right bottom. i mean the text "teambericht" and so on:

    • Flut's avatar
      Hi fascinoso: you can do it like vonreichsm explained (thanks vonreichsm) or:
      - in the line 10 change -4 by -3 (or -2, or -1)
      or:
      In the following code, change the value of alignment="all" inset="0" for a value you want (you just have to increase that inset value and, by try and error method, adjust to the size you want)

      <widget class="stadium_picture" id="STEp" image_alignment="top" >
      <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="top" inset="0" />
      <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" inset="0" />
      <record id="object_property">
      <integer id="get_property" value="objt" />
      <integer id="set_property" value="objt" />
      </record>
      </widget>

      @fascinoso73: like this, or not?

      1
    • vonholzminden's avatar
      @fascinoso73: it´s the match fulltime review panel. and you have to change in the line 10 the second -1 to -3. Than the stadium is smaler.

      great skin, my go to for fm for years now!
    • Flut's avatar
      Hi vonreischm: thanks :) Regarding the problem armbi reported: in player overview panel, for some clubs, the player name in the back kit is displayed with a wrong colour (for instance: in Roma kit the name was in blue). I think now is okay,

      Hi fascinoso: I couldn't see your screenshot. Thus, I don't know what is the image you want reduce.

      Hello Flut, congratulations for the Skin, I would like to ask you how to reduce the image of the stadium .. it's too big, it's blurry, thanks
    • vonholzminden's avatar
      @flut: thank you very much for your update.

      @armbi: i didn´t understand your bug. I can see the name on the kit. Could you please explain? i donwloaded the fix file from flut too and put it in the font folder, but i can´t see any changes.
    • Flut's avatar
      @nick: you should have the original citypics pack created for FlutSkin and not use the pack from Vitrex Skin adapted by Emil Debski, since the code of citypics for Vitrex is the code for front kits in FlutSkin.

      Hi troy: thanks for your support :)
    • troy's avatar

      Hi Flut! I've got a question. Why do I get this kit's name colour that has nothing to do with club colours? If that could be a clue it appear in dark colours of the kit. [img]https://zapodaj.net/6a7628ec89453.jpg.html[/img]

      RJO1377:

      Hope version 1.4 will work well
    • Flut's avatar
      Hi nihat: The skin already have the instant result. Due the SI update a bug arose and only part of the instant result works (the top - the bottom part causes a crash dump). However I already fixed it.

      You can download the following file and put it in the match folder of the skin (overwrite the older one)

    • Flut's avatar
      @RJO and vanja: I tested in my game all that situations you reported and it works well. Sorry but I really don't know how to help you.
