[FM21] Full Team Name Scoreboard & Faces on the Bench

[giglet13]

 

I'm really new to this but trying to ease in with tweaks on existing skins for my own use, to learn how! Any help would be great! I've searched forum for some keywords but not found anything yet for the two below...

Full Team Name Scoreboard

It's part of the Material Skin available, but just wondered if anyone could share the 'how' of making it happen? I've had a look through some of the configs in the skin but I'm very new to this so not sure where to start! 

 

Player Faces on the Bottom of Match Screen Line Up/Subs

Separately I saw this shared on Twitter for a work in progress, and would also love any help more experienced Skinners can share on making this tweak too;

So I've managed to decode and use panels from two other skins to get Scoreboard and Player Faces on bench - One thing I've got left though, and hopefully very basic, is the team name colours in the Scoreboard. I've got the background and base colour sorted - but for my team it changes the team name to highlight in a light blue - I just want this removed/switched off so where would I be looking in the Config for the line governing this?

I can see most items (where i've switched colour names to white) and that works for all teams except my own which still have the highlight!

[kingjericho]

These are two tweaks that I really like. Let us know how you get on

[Onyewu]

So far, no one has been able to answer how we can have the long names in the scoreboard while having the team background primary color and the team text the secondary color.

The best I've seen or came up with myself after fiddling with the FLUT skin "match score area panel" is to get the long team name with the text being the secondary color of the competition.  If I resort to using the 6-letter name for the team, then the it will work properly........for some reason the code that gives us the long team name does not allow for the text to be the secondary color of the team.

What I did last night while playing my first friendly with Sevilla, is change the text color to "red" instead of "secondary" and it worked....so it will accept specific color commands....so I had the white background and the red text rather than white on white (since Friendly Competitions secondary color is white).....but I don't want to have to do that for both teams every game I play !!!

 

One of the mysteries of FM21....

I've done this to set text colour as white - but it still leaves user controlled team as a light blue highlight.

I'm using the Match Scoreboard Panel from Material Skin and the remaining Match Panels form the Kojuro Skin to get the set up I'd like. The rest is the TCS Skin. My knowledge only goes as far as blending and tweaking elements others have built really so anyone who knows more that can guide would be awesome!

Same here....which is why I'm sort of at a dead end after a lot of trial and error.....hopefully one of the masters will crack the code.

Very odd........as one that watches the game in full, the scoreboard was always an important part of the experience. Skin Masters have come up with some good ones over the years, so it's a shame this is constricted. So I'll either manipulate the color in the "match score area panel" before each game I play or see if I can stomach the disjointed 6 letter team names for the sake of proper team colors {How do I cut Borussia Monchengladbach down to 6 letters :-) }

 

Thanks for confirming bluestillidie00

After many attempts, this is the code for full names in match scoreboard (match score area panel.xml):

<!--home team name-->
<widget class="team_button" id="homN" icon_enabled="false" auto_size="none" font="title" size="10" alignment="right,centre_y,can_scale" click_event="htac" navigation_focus_target="false" colour="black" mode="1">
  <record id="object_property" get_property="home" set_property="valu" />
</widget>


<!--away team name--> 
<widget class="team_button" id="awaN" icon_enabled="false" auto_size="none" font="title" size="10" alignment="left,centre_y,can_scale" click_event="atac" navigation_focus_target="false" colour="black" mode="1">
  <record id="object_property" get_property="away" set_property="valu" />
</widget>

 Replace this code with the original one.

Sorry for off topic, but how to download panels for base skin? I want this mod on a base skin and to keep everything as it is.

I have managed to get the background colour for the home and away teams to display their team colours but I can't seem to get the text to display the team secondary colour. When you use the secondary option for the team name it changes it to the secondary colour for the competition instead of the team. This is how its looking so far.

We have been fighting to get a fix for this for over a week, but no one can figure it out....very frustrating......some of the great skinners have given up on it......I can't believe there isn't a way to fix this.........you have to decide if you want the the correct team colors with the 6-letter name (which looks like an eye chart in most cases) or the full team name with the wrong text color.

You have to edit the paper files in graphics/boxes/custom/match/tv captions/si tv/score/home team to be all blue and then that will display the team colours. Also you need to edit the same files in the away team folder too

...and Jeffs72....to help a little more, here's a screen shot of where you can find it in your skins graphics folder.......I found a blue wallpaper online and matched the size of it to the red paper already in this folder.....voila !....actually just added a copy of blue paper below

But we still need to resolve the colored text with the long team name issue

ok thanks ill take a look 2moz

[Watson156]

Just a quick thought that might be simple/stupid. Instead of using secondary as a colour and it uses the comps one, could you say clubs secondary?

If that's not possible, is there a way to have a white backdrop with dark team text colour?

This is how I have mine on FM17..  Its clear and concise, which is the most important thing imo.

I haven't bought FM21 yet, so can't test it.

[luvgisele]

is there a way to increase the height/width of the title bar?

Thanks for this. I think it looks a lot better with the full names.

 

I had to adjust the width of the panels otherwise I had the full names squished into the 6 letter boxes (below). Also went with just centre alignment for team names.

I only adjusted the width of the bar/widgets, allowed logos and made the result background black to not have purple bg accent here. Maybe I will adjust it somehow in the future but this is already much better. @Jas80 deserves all the credit

I allowed the icons (logos) just with true/false in the code shared above.

You would probably have to insert the whole widget for the home/away logo to be able to adjust the logo size.

That looks fantastic. What graphic changes did you have to make? Is it as simple as changing the blue background image a few posts up, to black and then just put your panel in the right place and it will work, or do I need to do anything else?

Nothing has to be edited in terms of graphic, at least the basic stuff like this.

just find the line 99 in the 'match score are panel.xml' and change the red_replacement="bg". Black instead of "bg", or you can insert other colour or "bg accent" to have it back purple. If you would insert white colour, you would have to change the scoreline text colour to black or some darker than white.

I went with "bg" in the end as it fits better with the rest (mainly is the same as the box with the time) after I turned the recoloured match title bar off. So it looks like this.

There's no need to change xml to position the colour-indicators next to the result. What I did is to simply swap the content of away team and home team folders. But of course you can use photoshop to change paper and paper@2x images to your liking.

Take a look at my post above from a few days ago......you'll need to change the paper file to blue from red as instructed.

Then, in the "match title bar" panel, make the following change in the very first line:  FROM: <panel colour_team_names="false" colour_team_scores="false">.....................TO THIS: <panel colour_team_names="true" colour_team_scores="false">

Basically change the colour_team_names from false to true

The problem that has not been solved is the text color when using the full team name........I'm not going to get into this again as it's ridiculous there's no way to make it the team secondary color.........I've made my statements in posts above. Presently I manually change the color of the text in the file before each game (although only about 10 basic colours are available).

Did you make the files in the graphics transparent for the background of this place?

As an extra, there is a slight gap to the left of the away team, how can I get it to the left

Messed around with the match score area panel today, first thing I noticed is we can't somehow use secondary colour for the team name, not sure why.

But in the end I came up with this plus using the full team names, much better than abbreviated names
