Popular Post michaeltmurrayuk Posted November 16, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted November 16, 2017 (edited) Football Manager 2018 Match In-Between Highlights Mod If you have downloaded the last few versions of this mod you should know what to do by now, though I have made a few changes this year but the instructions are largely the same. So as you may have noticed the match screens have been redesigned in Football Manager 2018 which is actually a good thing for this mod as we now have more room to work with and the base coding is a lot similar to my coding than in previous years so I've been able to spend my time improving the individual panels instead of having to get it working in the first place. As a change this year I have gone back to the Split Containers which allows you to adjust the width of the containers in game which allows you to more easily customize them to fit the content you want to display and your resolution, unfortunately you cannot adjust the height of the right panels in game that still needs to be done through editing the files. To resize the panels just grab the divider between them and drag until they are the size you want, if you want to get rid of one of the containers just drag the line to the corner of the screen so it disappears. Also thanks to the changes there is only the need for one version of the mod regardless of which skin or even which mode of FM you are using, though some of the information or screens might not show up in the Touch Mode as it doesn't support the same data as the full mode. And as always outside of the match screen this mod make no changes, so it should be compatible with any skin that hasn't already altered these panels.Installation InstructionsFor Full Mode Version: If you are using the default skins: - Place the panels folder into your User Data Location which by default is: Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2018\ If you are using a custom skin: - Place the panels folder inside the folder for the skin you are using, by default this will be: Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2018\skins\<skin_name>\ Then from the Preferences -> Interface Menu turn off the skin cache and reload your skin for the changes to be loaded.For Touch Mode Version: After unzipping place the panels folder inside the folder for the skin you are using, by default this will be: Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager Touch 2018\skins\<skin_name>\ If you are using one of the default FMTouch Skins then you will need to download and switch to one of the Base FMTouch Skins. Then from the Preferences -> Interface Menu turn off the skin cache and reload your skin for the changes to be loaded. To change the item shown in each panel just select the drop down arrow in the top right hand corner of each panel and select the view you want. So if you want to change the Left Panel from the Overview to the Match Stats view, just select Match Stats in the dropdown menu. You can also adjust the width of the columns in game by dragging the dividing line left/right, unfortunately you cannot adjust the height split of the right panel as the game wouldn't store the status. If you want to change the appearance of the content that appears in the individual menus then you will need to follow the instructions in the Advanced Instructions section below.Advanced Instructions These are largely the same as last year so if you used last years version you should know what to do.How to Enable Different ViewsHow to Adjust the Size of the PanelsHow to Change Kit/Logo & Text Sizes on Overview View FM18 Match in Between Highlights Mods Download Page Change Log v3.0 Released 16:15 GMT 2nd March 2018 - Updated for patch 18.3.0 --- Redistribution Terms You are free to post this content to your website provided: 1.

michaeltmurrayuk Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 How To Enable Different Views These instructions are the generally the same as in the past I've just cleaned up some of the code. These instructions will assume you have already downloaded and installed the version of the Highlights mod you want to edit. To download the mod see the first post in the thread Within the skin I have included various different views that can be shown for each option in each panel, as the game only supports one view for each item per panel enabled at once if you want different views you'll need to enable them. Screenshots below show the list of different options you can have for the various panels (note all views may not be available in Touch Mode as it doesn't use some data): Match Overview You have five options for the Overview panel. Match Stats Two options here one with bar charts and one without. Formation Panels Couple of options here, for the both Formations Panel you can choose to have them side-by-side or top-bottom, whilst the individual Formation Panels give you a choice of the normal panel shirts) or a small panel (dots). You can also right click on any of these panels to change the orientation of the pitches. Player Ratings and Body Language Each of these has three views, default one keeps subs on the bench, alternative view sees them move into the XI when brought on and the last view is the Full Stats page. You can also edit the shown columns by editing the individual xml files instructions are in those files. There are also various other panels you can select to display from the dropdown but they have no alternative views so there is no need to edit the xml file for those panels. To enable the different views you need to edit the 'match in between highlights panel' xml file located in the panels folder for the version of the mod you have downloaded. To edit this file I recommend you use Notepad++ or a web editing program that displays the code in colour as it makes it easier to see which parts to edit. I've added various comments to the file to explain what various bits of code do so it should be fairly simple to edit, these should appear in a green colour if you are using Notepad++ For an example I will show you how to switch between the two versions of the Match Stats panel. First the In Between Match Highlights Panel is made up of four panels - we have the full size left panel, the full size middle panel and then the two right panels the top one and the bottom one, each of these panels has it's own code that determines what displays in each of them, for example it is possible to set a different version of the match stats panel to appear in each of them (which is what we are going to do). To edit the Match Stats view on the Left Panel you need to scroll down until you find this section of code:<!-- L2 MATCH STATS PANEL - Customisable includes bar charts, custom file to fix some appearance issues. NEED TO CHOOSE EITHER DEFAULT OR MODIFIED--> <widget class="match_stats_panel" id="mtst" file="match/match stats ibh"><translation id="title" translation_id="247439" type="use" value="Match Stats" /></widget> <!-- L2 MATCH STATS PANEL - Customisable No Bar Charts --> <!-- <widget class="match_stats_panel" id="mtst" file="match/match stats floating"> <translation id="title" translation_id="247439" type="use" value="Match Stats" /> </widget> --> The first line is commented out and explains what the code below displays, the L2 mark at the start of the line denotes L for the Left Panel and 2 as the Match Stats view is the second item in the list (after the overview screen) now you can only have one of the two match stats views visable for the left panel at one time each of the options are noted by the L2 note on the first line. At the moment the code in red is the active code, however we want the second view to display (no bar charts) to do this we need to comment out the active mode by adding <!-- to the start of the code and --> to the end so it now looks like this:<!-- L2 MATCH STATS PANEL - Customisable includes bar charts, custom file to fix some appearance issues. NEED TO CHOOSE EITHER DEFAULT OR MODIFIED--> <!-- <widget class="match_stats_panel" id="mtst" file="match/match stats ibh"><translation id="title" translation_id="247439" type="use" value="Match Stats" /></widget> --> Now to enable the second view we need to uncomment out it's code by deleting the <!-- from the second line and the --> from the last line so the code now looks like this:<!-- L2 MATCH STATS PANEL - Customisable No Bar Charts --> <widget class="match_stats_panel" id="mtst" file="match/match stats floating"><translation id="title" translation_id="247439" type="use" value="Match Stats" /></widget> Now the code in the file should look like this:<!-- L2 MATCH STATS PANEL - Customisable includes bar charts, custom file to fix some appearance issues. NEED TO CHOOSE EITHER DEFAULT OR MODIFIED--> <!-- <widget class="match_stats_panel" id="mtst" file="match/match stats ibh"><translation id="title" translation_id="247439" type="use" value="Match Stats" /></widget> --><!-- L2 MATCH STATS PANEL - Customisable No Bar Charts --> <widget class="match_stats_panel" id="mtst" file="match/match stats floating"><translation id="title" translation_id="247439" type="use" value="Match Stats" /></widget> If done right when selecting the Match Stats view in the left panel it should now show the view without the Bar Charts whilst the middle panel will still show the Bar Charts. To adjust the middle panel you need to scroll down until you find the code that starts with an M, so for the Match Stats view look for this line:<!-- M2 MATCH STATS PANEL - Customisable includes bar charts, custom file to fix some appearance issues NEED TO CHOOSE EITHER DEFAULT OR MODIFIED--> To adjust the top right panel look for lines like this:<!-- RT2 MATCH STATS PANEL - Customisable No Bar Charts NEED TO CHOOSE EITHER DEFAULT OR MODIFIED--> To adjust the bottom right panel look for lines like this:<!-- RB2 MATCH STATS PANEL - Customisable No Bar Charts NEED TO CHOOSE EITHER DEFAULT OR MODIFIED--> The coding for each of these panels is edited just as you did for the left panel, and the alternative views for the other options are also enabled in the same manner just remember you can only have one view per note enabled at once i.e. only one of the L2 items can be enabled at once but the M2 item can be a different view as long as only one of the M2 views is enabled. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaeltmurrayuk Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 (edited) How To Adjust the Size of the Panels These instructions will assume you have already downloaded and installed the version of the Highlights mod you want to edit. To download the mod see this page Thanks to the split container code you can now adjust the width of the various panels from within the game, however to adjust the height of the right side panels you still need to edit the xml file. To do this you need to edit the 'match in between highlights panel' xml file located in the panels folder for the version of the mod you have downloaded. To edit this file I recommend you use Notepad++ or a web editing program that displays the code in colour as it makes it easier to see which parts to edit. I've added various comments to the file to explain what various bits of code do so it should be fairly simple to edit, these should appear in a green colour if you are using Notepad++How to edit the sizes of the individual panels Before editing the individual panels you need to understand what the following codes do:minimum_height - this sets the minimum width/height of the panel if the available space is less than this value then the panel won't show.default_height - this is the width/height that the game trys to display the panel at, depending on available space it can appear smaller (to min width as above) or bigger. Normally for these codes you'd enter a number which corresponds to the number of pixels you want the panel to be, however there is also an option to use a negative number (i.e. -1) the negative sign tells the game to make the panel proportional to the available space with the number determining the ratio. -1 tells the game to fill the rest of the available space (after it has drawn any panels with actual pixel values) equally between all the panels set to -1. So if you set both of the right panels to -1 you'd end up with two equal height panels. If you set the top panel to 500 and the bottom panel to -1 the top panel would take up 500 pixels and the bottom one would take up what space is left. If you set the top panel to -2 and the bottom panel to -1 then the top panel would take up 2/3 of the space with the bottom panel getting 1/3.priority - this tells the game in which order to hide panels if there isn't enough space to show them all, the lower the number the higher the priority so a priority="2" panel will be hidden before a priority="1" panel. With the above in mind you can now adjust the panel sizes. To adjust the height of the top part of the right panel locate this code:<!-- RIGHT TOP CONTAINER ADJUST DEFAULT_HEIGHT VALUE IF YOU WANT IT TO BE BIGGER--><container class="bordered_box" minimum_height="1" priority="3" default_height="-1"> And the height of the bottom part is controlled by this code:<!-- RIGHT - BOTTOM ADJUST DEFAULT_HEIGHT VALUE TO RESIZE--><container class="bordered_box" minimum_height="1" priority="4" default_height="380"> As you'll see each panel has a comment above it in the file to denote where the coding for that panel starts. You now just need to play around with the values until you are happy with sizes, in addition if you want a panel to stay a static size set the minimum and default values to the same value.

michaeltmurrayuk Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 How to Change Kit/Logo & Text Sizes on Overview Screen These instructions will assume you have already downloaded and installed the version of the Highlights mod you want to edit. If you are using the view with the teams arranged vertically (the default view for the left and middle panels) you'll need to edit the 'match incidents small ibh' xml file. To change the logos to kits then locate this section of code: <widget class="match_team_logo_picture" id="TeLo"/><!-- <widget class="kit_picture" id="teKP" scale_picture="true" keep_aspect_ratio="true" image_alignment="centre"/> --> You then want to change those lines so they read: <!-- <widget class="match_team_logo_picture" id="TeLo"/> --><widget class="kit_picture" id="teKP" scale_picture="true" keep_aspect_ratio="true" image_alignment="centre"/> Basically having the first line enabled shows logos and having the second enabled shows kits. If you want to replace the logos with kits on other parts of the match screens you'll need to carry out the same instructions in the various match incident files. To change the sizes of the kits/logos then in the same file the first line you need to locate is this one near the top of the file: <widget class="table" id="tntb" layout="100,-60,-15" mode="fill_rows, stripe_rows" auto_size_rows="true" auto_size="vertical" row_spacing="0"> The 100 is for the kit/logo picture, -60 is for the team name and -15 is for the score, the only one that should need adjusting is the first number, make this number 10 or 20 pixels greater than the size of the kit/logo. You should only need to play around with the other numbers if you don't have enough room. If you want to adjust the text size locate this bit of code: <list id="column_properties"><record index="0" auto_size="all" /><record index="1" size="18" alignment="left,centre_y" /><record index="2" alignment="right,centre_y" size="18" /></list> The second line sets the font size for the Team Name and the third line sets the font size for the Score. Now to adjust the kit/logo size locate this bit of code: <container height="80" width="80" col="0" row="0"> And adjust the values to match your kit size. Finally if you are editing the font size locate this bit of code: <widget class="text" id="mitn" col="1" row="0" height="80" font="fonts/match_panel_title" colour="text" /> And adjust the value if need be, you should only need to do this if your font isn't fitting, you can also change the font and font colour here if you want. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Full Player Stats view is one of the alternative views for the Ratings/Body Language panels so you can use that. If you want to just customize the top/bottom file I have included various options in the top/bottom file you just need to change the hidden bits from false to true to turn them on. There should also be a near complete list of usable ids in this thread (it's a bit old but the panels haven't changed that much) so you can add them if I've missed the ones you want: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a massive gap underneath "MAN UTD" before Lukaku's goal. Don't know why its so big. The first gap is likely from the badge size, whilst the others would be from the row heights or row gap. You'd need to open whichever match info panel is being called for that overview to locate the linked match incidents file as that's the file that controls the layout, in that file the layout should be controlled by a table (which should look like the code in the change kit/logo post above - though the code in each panel is slightly different, to resize the badge just follow the instructions in that post) you then just need to play around with the various values, you can also add a row_height="20" bit to the table code if it's not already present and then adjust the value to suit. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yowg8ynwa Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 (edited) It worked! Not sure if this was intentional or I just kept reading it wrong, but in the "match team stats ibh bottom.xml" file, you had written that: "to change which columns are active change hidden value to true to show and false to hide,". I was struggling until I had worked out that to see a column appear in the panel you had to change the hidden value to false to show, and to true to hide the column. I think they got mixed up.

If you see the line in-between the panels grab the one between the middle and right panels and drag it to the right and you'll notice the right panel shrinks just keep dragging until you reach the edge of the screen and the right panels will hide, then just drag the left divider to split you want the remaining two panels to have. To get the Overview and Player Ratings showing just select them in the drop down arrows in the top right corner of each panel. @stevemc I'll be transplanting a modified version of this panel over to that screen (as well as the post-match and mid-match screens) sometime next week. Though for the moment you could probably get away with creating a copy of the 'match in between highlights panel' xml file and calling it 'match in between highlights panel review' as the coding is similar (though some items might not display). (The other ones should be called 'match full time review panel' and 'match mid match review panel' so creating and renaming two more copies of the main ibh panel should replace them aswell - though their coding is slightly different so it might not work as well. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or if you want to switch that panel to the small formations open the 'match both formations ibh_v' file and change this code: file="match/match formation panel ibh_h" To read: file="match/match formation small panel" You'll need to do it twice one for home team and one for away team. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boyshane Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 @michaeltmurrayuk: I know I might be considered as nuisance, but I am really curious (been trying all afternoon today, but without success) what I would need to do in order to have all three vertical panels (not only the right one) split in two (or even 3 if possible)? Thanks for any advice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still left with that weird "review" screen at the end of the game. Hoping that you can help. Panels have never been my strong point. To get this during the game do I just need to add the match info small ibh & match stats ibh into the Panels/Match folder inside the skins folder? Hope you can understand that.

Deleted that flag from both files mentioned but still getting roles appear. Ideally I want to show dots or kits with a player name and thats it. EDIT: Not solved my issue with the roles, but have managed to get what I was after... In 'match formation small panel' I have changed line 12 from: <widget class="pitch_with_tactics" can_change_orientation="true" id="pwtc" navigation_disabled="true" icon_flags="show_number"> To the following: <widget class="pitch_with_tactics" can_change_orientation="true" id="pwtc" navigation_disabled="true" icon_flags="show_number, show_name"> Adding the show_name flag to achieve: Edited November 18, 2017 by steveyisatard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. You need to follow the installation instructions: On 16/11/2017 at 12:10, michaeltmurrayuk said: Installation InstructionsFor Full Mode Version: If you are using the default skins: - Place the panels folder into your User Data Location which by default is: Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2018\ If you are using a custom skin: - Place the panels folder inside the folder for the skin you are using, by default this will be: Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2018\skins\<skin_name>\ Then from the Preferences -> Interface Menu turn off the skin cache and reload your skin for the changes to be loaded.

Watson156 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 (edited) Ok so I have installed all of the panels into the correct skin folder, and this is what it currently looks like. I have managed to get the Match overview by dragging the box into the middle, but I don't want 2 lots of the match stats. How do I get it so that there is only 2 main boxes on the screen with the Match Overview on the left and the match stats (with the bars) on the right?

Firstly expand the middle section so the right hand side hides. Then use the selector arrow to choose match stats for the middle panel. Then if you want numbers rather than bars there are instructions in the first post on changing that too.

nick1408 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Thanks for this! Love it. A quick question - where is the "match info overview small" file located? I couldn't see it. Also, why does your match stats pic have a dropdown? <!-- L1 OVERVIEW PANEL - side-by-side smaller font, team names, scores, no logos details on top fancy graphics --> <widget class="match_info_panel" id="bmin" file="match/match info overview small" small_version="true"> <translation id="title" translation_id="292788" type="use" value="Overview[COMMENT: match screen; match overview panel title]" /> </widget> Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingjericho Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Hi @michaeltmurrayuk, I have been able to customize all the panels like I want to, except for one thing: in my match screen, I want to have just the top panel on the right side. What do I need to do? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodmansee Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 (edited) I've tried using this and couldn't get it working not sure what it seems easy enough, so I deleted it, but now my graphics are not working, facepack, logos etc. Update I deleted the config file in that directory, and my graphics are working again. Not sure if I need that config file, and tried using this again but nothing. I'm using the default skin so I just extract it in the skins folder, correct?

Thanks for any advice. To split the left and middle columns into vertical columns, first copy everything from this line (#463): <!-- RIGHT TOP CONTAINER ADJUST DEFAULT_HEIGHT VALUE IF YOU WANT IT TO BE BIGGER--> To this (#906) <!-- RIGHT END --> Then delete everything between this line (#15) <!--LEFT--> And this (#231) <!-- END LEFT --> And then past in the code you copied, then repeat for the middle column so code between <!--MIDDLE--> (#234) and <!-- END MIDDLE --> (#451). You're basically replacing the left/middle code with the right code. Next you need to locate each bit of code like this: <widget class="match_view_selector_panel" id="sel1" And ensure they are all using different id's - change them to sel3, sel4, sel5 etc... - each panel needs to have it's own id so now you should have six panels you need to use six different ids. To have three rows in each column then locate this code: <!-- RIGHT - BOTTOM ADJUST DEFAULT_HEIGHT VALUE TO RESIZE--> And copy everything from that to this line: <!-- RIGHT - BOTTOM --> And paste it directly below that line but above this bit: </container> <!-- RIGHT END --> Then repeat for the left and middle panels if you want, and again make sure each panel is using it's own id so you should now have id's running from sel1 to sel9. You may also need to mess around with the default height values to fit three rows depending on your screen resolution. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the dropdown all panels should have a dropdown in the top corner, unless you mean the overview screenshot from the second post with the red box that's just been pasted into the image to show the other view instead of having to upload a separate screenshot for one view.

To remove the split in the right panel hopefully changing this value to 1 should do it: <!-- RIGHT - BOTTOM ADJUST DEFAULT_HEIGHT VALUE TO RESIZE--> <container class="bordered_box" minimum_height="1" priority="4" default_height="380"> If not delete the content between <!-- RIGHT - BOTTOM ADJUST DEFAULT_HEIGHT VALUE TO RESIZE--> and <!-- RIGHT - BOTTOM --> and that should remove it and see the top panel expand. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are using the Default Skins then just place the extracted 'panels' folder directly into that folder (Football Manager 2018) not into the skins folder.
