TCS 1.1 Skin but with FME Zealand in-match panels

[dℍaisa]

Make no mistake TCS skin even this year is wonderful, but apparently no effort is put on the in-match panels... 

Can anyone help me in putting everything in-match related from FME to the TCS skin?

any guidance will be much appreciated.

I think thats a bit rude, are you aware of how much effort it takes to make a skin ? 

Anyway, you'll find what you need in the Match folder.

Didn't mean to be rude, but he did said it was a week long project.

Anyways , will simply replacing work?

Also adding all graphics to each other too, that i know.

i can't say if it's a 1 to 1 replacement will work or not as there can be big difference in the codes. it can be as simple as that or it can be a heavy operation to make it work.
Trial and error is your way forward i would say. I doubt you'll find many if any at all that would strip a skin and add it to another unless it was for personal use.
 

This is ofcourse all my opinion and can only talk for myself

I just replaced tcs's match panel folder completely. yet match panels are still old ones, how is it possible? at best it shouldn't be working?

If you are talking about the layout of the tablet, there must be something you have forgotten to replace
are you talking about the panels inside the tablet, then most are Fm standard panels, 

as i can't remember how either is looking, you can post a screen shot of both to make it easier to understand ( i'm old and my memory isnt as oiled anymore )

The skin is delivered from cache. Clear cache, reload skin and then analyze changes and ( most likely ) errors.

From your screenshot looks like you have a TCS ... - copy folder, and it's most likely parsed by the game with the same name as the TCS skin [non copy] ( most likely packed). Are you certain you are using that "copy" skin in-game ?

Use the Skinning Guide and Knowledge Base in the topics pinned to the top of the forum and start clean. Use the base skin provided there and make the match panels work with it. 

This way you have a one point of change - you know the base skin it's working as it's provided as it is from the game files, and add to it ( the panels you want from FME skin).

Step by step, see what's working and what doesn't - what panel this panel references etc. Make sure you clear cache and reload skin with every new file(s) you add to the skin. Reloading skin only doesn't work when you add a new file to a skin. ( if you have cached enabled ).

As @snowofman said this was rude and uncalled for.. There is a lot of effort put into a skin and a lot of energy is consumed scrapping through these god-forsaken xml files. Read this :

CURRENT: Apparently it is not able to grab information for the new panels. In the lower left corner, the instruction button also doesn't seem to be working.

This file is needed for the instructions to be working - team/team instructions button panel match

it looks to me as if you have forgotten to copy this file from FME - match touchline tablet panel (it's the one that has the top tabs and the one that control the panels)

Wow, doing the first task has fixed everything else. (I have no idea how):

Glad it worked

about the player popup window

There are alot of panels spread around the skin, 

player/player overview popup panel
generic/popup information panel

and a few more if i remember correct, i just can't remember where they are on top of my head
i would suggest you to read through the 2 files and see for more files

if he has no, then it means he's using the FM default

and what you see is the result of missing files

 

so as i said, read through the files you added and look for missing files

use the search and look for the word "file" that should get you abit of way,

Success, I found out that a lot of files from 'woz' folder were required. So i moved the complete 'woz' folder to Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2022\skins\TCS4 v1.1.0 - Copy\panels\player\woz

Thank you!

Hi, Just to go back to this, if you have notice there is a large blank area next to the players face (on the right) where the players kit name and number is meant to be as shown further up with the original target from Tato.

 

I'm wondering of you have any idea where the file(s) are located which are necessary for this?

 

Thanks
