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.

      Have never studied skinning on fm, but would I or some1 else be able to change 'scout futher' button on 'scouting centre' to scout 1 more week, rather than 100% as my scouts are over working already, and it would be easier to just push the button rather than going thru those scout player -> scout for a week

      Thanks in advance!

      Hi @Flut
      Thanks for an awesome skin! Have used it for the last couple of years. I have a small request though. Can you direct me to where I can edit the background coulour of the comparison screen? I can barely see the white text, when the background is white as well, as you can see on this picture:
      I would like to change it to a black or faded black background where you see the attributes, statistics etc.
      Thanks in advance!

      Hi,
      Facing the same problem as @galeg. Unable to click on left/right and defense/attack in corner tactics.
      Also it would be nice to include the star ratings for Data Analysis Facilities in the club profile page (like there are star rating displays for training and youth facilities
    • Carlito_85's avatar
      @Flut: How would I resize or re-position the nation flag in the club overview screen? I need to either move it upwards or reduce the size of it.
    • galeg's avatar
      Hi,

      I've noticed a few small problems. Sorry if they have already been mentioned. In the Corners tactics editor I was unable to click the left/right and defense/attack buttons using FLUT. Also, when comparing players the main panel always has a whitish background that washes out the font.

      Thanks for the skin!

      @Flut:
      You don't understand my problem, so I'll try explaining it again. In the screen you can see the city pics in the player profile where normally the front kit should be. But for every team I don't have a 2d kit for, it displays the city pic. So not only for this player/team/competition but also for the Ukrainian teams, The English League One, ...

      So I think displaying the city pic instead of nothing (because I don't have the kits) is a bug, which I want a solution for. Are you with me this time?

      When is the next update FLUT
    • Arkon's avatar
      Hi, Great Skin - just a small problem on the 3d match page - the top-bar is solid and not transparent as in the original game
    • Flut's avatar
      Hi alvios: the config for citypack should be something like:

      <record from="5340068" to="graphics/pictures/club/5340068/background"/> (this is only an example; for Inter you just have to cahnge the ID if you want use this code)

      Hi badass: if that pack contains front kit with the normal config, you just have to change the config (look at the configs for 2d kits for flutskin and do a similar config).
    • Alvios's avatar
      @flut i think that the clue was that the config.xml of citypack is ...logo/background/left and also the config of 2DKitsasleftlogos has the same address... how can i solve?
    • Greentrunk's avatar
      Downloaded, the skin was fine. One thing of note was that the graphic wasnt coming up when the assistant was coming back with how well the formations are being learned. The graph indicator was missing. Think ill wait till the next version. Great skin though Flut!
    • SakuJ's avatar
      @ingey, @flut.. Thanks, did not see that before. Working now!
    • Badass88's avatar
      @ingey @flut:

      the file you send was just 2d kits for the austrian bundesliga, but I have a citypic where the front kit should be in the player profile and title bar for every team I don't have a kit for! If there isn't a kit avalaible I rather see nothing then a city pic out of place..
    • nikolaosaek's avatar
      Thanks for all the help.
    • nikolaosaek's avatar
      got another bug. Look at the lines here, one goes on another
    • nikolaosaek's avatar
      Thank you for the help with fonts, its working fine now. I got another bug. In set pieces at tactics some buttons cant be chosen, look at the pic
    • Cedric88600's avatar
      Salut Flut !! J’ai téléchargé le skin , ( que j’utilise depuis plusieurs année maintenant) place dans le bon dossier. Mais une fois dans le jeu, il ne me le trouve pas. Comment faire ?
    • ingey1968's avatar
      @sakuJ, read this post by flut, that issue has been adressed.... https://www.fmscout.com/c-fm18-skins.html?id=4597&e=page&dcm=2#c34332
    • SakuJ's avatar
      Hi Flut, thanks for excellent work yet again! Been waiting for this for FM18.

      I have one question/problem.. In set pieces I cannot create or use any routines either for corners, free kicks nor throw in's... It's nuisance 'cause I can create routines via default skins but still.. it's making playing a bit trickier.
    • Flut's avatar
      Hi Alvios: if it happens only in this club, maybe the config have a problem. If so, try to make another. If it happens for all clubs...I really don't know what happens....sorry.
    • Alvios's avatar
      @Flut thx for the answer, but i've already done it. Have u any idea? No City Pic
    • Flut's avatar
      Hi Alvios: Thanks!! Regarding your problem, put the citypics in the graphics folder of the game: graphics/pictures

      Hi carlito: I already fixed it and it will be okay in the next release of the skin. Thanks.

I don't have any "zbackground" or similia in the folder... how can i solve that? Thx and great work again! Alvios [img]https://imgur.com/a/ajT3Z[/img]
    • Carlito_85's avatar
      Hi again Flut. I've noticed something strange with the stadium image panel on the club overview. It keeps fading between the applied stadium image, and the default dark stadium image (if a club has no stadium image applied). The stadium name alignment will also drop slightly when this happens as shown below

      Hi nikolaosaek: do the following: search in titlebar search panel.xml and in all player profile details files (there are various in the custom folder) all the code font="fonts/BebasNeue Bold".
      Change by font="fonts/the name of the font you want see"

      Reload the game.
