big_bob Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Can someone tell me how can I remove the circle dots used in the Formations panel and replace them with shirts with player names and numbers just like in the deafult tactic screen? Which panel is responsable for this? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaeltmurrayuk Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Should be 'match formation panel.xml' found in the panels folder, if you want it back to default then deleting that file from your skin and reloading the skin should revert it to the default one.

Thanks, it worked! I deleted the match formations panel, but it wasn't in my skin panels folder, it was in the default panels folder from the default user data folder, that's why I didn't spoted it in the first place. Don't know how it got here, probably part of a grahic mod. Also, can you tell me how to make the shirts bigger and the names smaller on the formations mini panel from the match overview screen? And how can I use here on this panel the circled dots? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaeltmurrayuk Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 To get the dots on the overview formation screens you should just need to edit the 'match both formations.xml' file, in that file locate these lines: <container class="match_formation_panel" id="hfor" team_index="0" /> <container class="match_formation_panel" id="afor" team_index="1" /> And change them to read: <container class="match_formation_panel" id="hfor" file="match formation small panel" team_index="0" /> <container class="match_formation_panel" id="afor" file="match formation small panel" team_index="1" /> And the game should then use the small formation panel file that uses the dots. Whilst the kit and name sizes on the formation screens isn't really editable as the game resizes them depending on the formation and screen size, you might be able to alter them by editing the 'match formation.xml' file but the game might just override your values, this is the code that controls the pitch contents: <!-- the pitch--> <widget class="pitch_with_tactics" id="pwtc" navigation_disabled="true" icon_flags="show_name,use_player_kits_back,show_number,show_role_duty_labels"> <boolean id="vertical" value="true"/> <boolean id="pitch_dont_draw_indicators" value="true"/> <integer id="pitch_kit_height" value="40"/> <integer id="pitch_vertical_padding" value="10"/> </widget> You can also have a look at the 'tactics icon info panel.xml' for the text sizes, they are located at the bottom, however editing this file will affect over screens where the same shirt backs are used.

Uncle_Sam Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Sorry to drag up an old thread, but my question relates to this topic. In the both formations screen in my FM18 my club's jerseys are smaller than the other team's and I can't see how to correct that. Suggestions?

michaeltmurrayuk Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 The game resizes the shirts depending on your formation and the size of the panel, also if you haven't re-enabled roles/duties for the AI teams then they will always have more space for the shirts. So the only way to even up the sizes is to add/remove the role/duty bit (should be some threads around the instructions are the same for the last few versions) and hope you are both using similar formations.

Thank you sir, I appreciate you taking the time to reply. Do you happen to have a link where I can re-enable roles/duties for the AI teams? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaeltmurrayuk Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 In the 'tactics icon basic horizontal info panel' xml file found in the panels/tactics folder locate this line; <!--debug role/duty--> <container id="rodu" height="10"> And delete the id, so the code now looks like this: <!--debug role/duty--> <container id="" height="10"> You might also need to do the same with the various other 'tactics icon... files found in that folder (different ones control different screens), and if they aren't present for your skin you'll need to extract them from the default game files instructions here: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle_Sam Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Ha, I'm once again dragging up this old thread. But I'm curious if there is a way to get the in-match formation widget to display roles and duties? I'm conducting kind of an experiment and it would be helpful.
