Thanks both, I'll try and show you what I mean.

This works.

This doesn't.

Should also say even though I have clearly changed red_replacment to red on all the values, it loads the default red_replacement Ben set in his classes.

It's like Ben's class from his skin is being loaded in my skin because it's named the same.

I'm an idiot!

I didn't have a config file in my classes folder so it wasn't importing, literally wasted all day being stupid

Glad it’s resolved. Could I ask to see a screenshot please - interested in how others have interpreted what can be done with classes.

Will do when I've finished messing.

Leading on from this.. does anyone know if it is possible to create a hint pop-up for an icon set in a class?

who knows where to look for files responsible for pass map lines colors and width?

I found the files in the \graphics\icons\custom\pass map but they only change the appearance of the captions below the football field

EnigMattic1 · February 12, 2023

Maybe a skinning question, but if it isn't, I know someone will be able to point me in the right direction. With job titles like DoF and Manager, what would I need to change to make it something like 'General Manager' and 'Head Coach'?

My staff list shows as 'Chairperson' and 'Manager'. How can I make it so it reads 'GM' and 'Head Coach'?

I think that you used to be able to change the in game language from English UK to English USA and that changed some job titles. I think!!

That works. Managers are now Head Coaches and the DoF is a GM. Thanks.

Does anyone know how to change this button to the default circle shape that it usually is? Copied files over from another skin due to my lack of knowledge with skinning and don't know how to change it back, if anyone could help that would be great.

anything can be turned back by gradually deleting the copied files
in this case i think it would be .\graphics\chrome\buttons\continue\button.png
although in a custom skin it can be anything

Hi all

Apologies I am very new to see this, but could someone talk me through please or refer me to somewhere on how I would add the "I" info, popup within the match/player bar at the bottom please, seen it on some skins but unsure where it is located/changed?

For personal use only

Thanks in advance

Does anyone know if there is a way to actually rename a Manager as Head Coach without having the full language change? There are other words: payroll, vacation etc that I don’t want to change. I assume there’d be a string somewhere…

This is what I originally wanted. I wonder if making changes in the 'example.ltf' or 'person properties' would make any difference? I know the id for General Manager in example.ltf is 227976

Should be possible by changing the "hint" in person properties or similar files depending on where the needed info is..

i'm 99% sure i did this a very long time ago, so still 1% unsure it's wasnt just a dream

If you were to remove the translation id from the relevant lines in person properties and then input what you wanted, would that not have the same effect? It does get kinda confusing, seeing 'pitch' referred to as 'field' and such.

Don't get me wrong, this isn't, meant to be a negative comment, it's just that I have been used to the English(UK) side of things and, upon changing to English(US) to get terms such as 'Head Coach' and 'General Manager' for my Canadian save, it is a little strange.

Olas Nick · February 17, 2023

what is responsible for the appearance of this section?
I determined that the entire field is widget class="pitch_squad_depth" . but it does not define the appearance of the icons in any way

						<widget class="pitch_squad_depth" id="pitc" vertical="true" pitch_length_multiplier="1.02" pitch_draw_grass="true" select_event="slic" pitch_line_colour="faded white" pitch_keep_selected_icons="true" pitch_touchline_width_percentage="30" line_width="1">

EDIT:

I decided to edit the match/match update latest scores.xml where is the simple list/table and adjusted the size in comparison with the default file. That means the team names are visible in full, the same as other things so I don't need to adjust the size of the whole panel.

EDIT 2:

Or like this when I increase the last number from 35 to 60.

Where can I locate the match/match update latest scores.xml as I want to do the same as you @keysi? I have removed Recent Events from the Tato 'Around the Grounds' panel, but the column width remains the same and the minutes is cut off like in your first screenshot.

in the match folder as your own text says.. else you'll have to unpack the panels folder and grab it from there

Well, I removed the translation id for anything that was 'Manager', 'Assistant Manager' or 'DoF' and replaced the job roles in question with 'Head Coach', 'Assistant Coach' and 'GM', but it didn't work

did you remember to restart the game as it may not change until that. it's a properties file

edit: and remember to check if the "<flags id="customisation_context" value="none" />" is set to play

The game wasn't even running when I made the changes. I cleared the cache and reloaded the skin when I booted it up.

I couldn't find "<flags id="customisation_context" value="none" />". Where should that be located?

yes. there is a chance it will allow the changes you previously have made

Nah, didn't work. It still shows 'Manager' etc.

Is there info somewhere about how the game handles conflicting config.xml files. If there is a situation where I have two different config.xml files that link different files to the same player, does that break the game? If it doesn't, how does the game handle the conflict, which file would be chosen?

_Ben_ · February 19, 2023

Been working on the staff panel this evening...

Got the main part tabbed as I wanted but looking to use the space at the top to display 'cards' for key staff. Does anyone know where I might be able to find any before I have to try and build them myself? It already is very temperamental and I haven't been able to get anything to actually pull through properly...

works in folder name which is sorted alphabetically. if you had folder "A" which had 150 players in a config file, and folder "B" with 1000 players, it'll load folder A first, if there's conflicting players it'll prioritise A.

Sorry to bring this back up and thanks for shedding light on this issue, I was looking for the same thing.

I followed the instructions and noticed that the "ui.main_content_margin" appears a lot inside the settings.xml with different values. I've been trying to tinker a bit, but I couldn't see a difference, maybe I'm doing something wrong.

Could you please tell me what values would be able to adjust both spaces below? I'm trying to make it more compact: in #1 bring it a little more to the left and in #2, compact the spaces in this box, in order to gain a little more space for the squad list/info.

Anyway, many thanks again.

Thanks for the reply. Indeed, by following your tip and deleting the line, it was possible to make the adjustments that I mentioned previously, but at the same time, it impacted the layout of information on screens other than Team Squad.

Anyway, I'm considering what to do, if I keep the screen the way I'd like it and adjust the ones that are impacted - which would be a bigger job, both to edit and to find out what each panel is.

Thank you very much.

I havnt looked into which does what, i did simply as Olas also did in the end and then just adjusted what needed to be

If you look at the codes you have attached you can see that the lines are leading to the same, just at different sizes. so it just adjusts the margin accordingly to the resolution or zoom used by the user

by removing the line you simply removes the option for a space around the main body

i would "think" that by changing those values, you can change the space to what you like, but it might not be as simple as that as alot more could be affected many other palces then what a simple removing the 1 line from the mail body...

i hope it makes sense, it might just be me spacing out

Thank you again. I understand what you suggested, it makes sense. However, I still haven't been able to achieve a significant difference by just messing with the various values. The only thing that was actually effective was the suggestion given by @Olas Nick, to remove that line, that did have some visible effect, but messed up other screens.

I'll keep trying to find a middle ground, I'll share if I get something.

Can I just draw_horizontal_dividers?

I mean if I need empty space, just write <container height="10"/>

I want to draw horizontal line between emblems and cup logo for example:

Found the answer - <widget class="horizontal_subtle_divider"/>

But if you can explain me more tags, it will be greatful

At the start of a match, when you get the graphic with each team's starting XI, is it possible to change the 'SI TV' logo at the bottom?
