Hi,
I am hoping for some help identifying how to fix the popup for the in-game editor popup in fm2017. I have messed around with a number of XMLs and think I have probably broken something, but I've been unable to work out how to fix it.
As you can see in the screenshot below, when using the IGE and selecting 'edit player attribute details' the following panel pops up. On the first row is the player's CA, but I am unable to edit it, I believe this is where I have probably broken the popup at some point. As far as I am aware this is the only place you can edit CA using the IGE?
Can anyone help me work out how to repair this? I can't seem to pinpoint the XML file that I should restore to default to get this back to normal. Alternatively if anyone know the specific code I would have to add to an XML file to simply allow CA to be editable here that'd be just as good.
Thanks in advance!

I modded a skin for FM20 by removing all references i could find to CA/PA.
It takes some time so I chose the skin that I liked the most and removed it everywhere I could.
And if I find CA/PA somwhere when playing i just remove it.
This should absolutely be an option out of the box. Makes the game much more enjoyable and I would never play without it.One question though, how do you remove the squad comparison table on the coach report screen?
I can't find it in any file.
Another thought, in your screenshot of Mata, are the two empty fields referencing CA/PA?
If it is you kinda know they are great since they are sorted, maybe no other way around it though..Hi Niklas,
Sorry I missed this post.
Afraid I can't remember how I removed the Squad Comparison stuff, it was very much trial and error at the time!
Regarding the screenshot of Mata, I deliberately removed more than just the CA and PA references. I removed some other aspects that I didn't think were particularly important, or that I personally wouldn't care that much about e.g. their ability to adapt to playing in a different country. I think I removed about ten of these altogether for exactly the reason you pointed out. That way if I only see blanks on one side, I still can't be sure what it might be referring to.

For the record there is only one remaining reference to CA and PA in the game which is impossible to remove. It's a news item that you occasionally receive from your coaches telling you about a player's development and it references his development in reference to the league his ability is at e.g. "He is now a leading League One defender" etc.
They're infrequent enough that it doesn't make a big difference, but you can also try to avoid reading them if you spot them in your inbox.

Brilliant! That's how it's meant to look, very glad it's working.
Would be really good to hear from you in a few weeks time to see how you're enjoying using it.
Hopefully this helps anyone else who tries to install this in future too.
I'm still playing this version with this mod as I'm enjoying it so much. Don't think I could go back to playing without it, but don't think I've got the energy to remake it on a later version! Maybe one day.

OK, sorry, let's have one last go. I borrowed someone else's laptop and did a fresh install and then compared to my own. I think I've identified the culprit.
In the folder 'update-1732' you may have three files: graphics.fmf, panels.fmf, and then a config file called 'update-1732'. Can you delete this config file leaving just the two .fmf files, then clear your cache completely and reboot FM. You should find it now picks up the right .fmf files and the mod should fully work.
Let me know how you get on this time.

OK, try this:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/xbnbnl1wt2abygp/panels.fmf/file
The only file I have updated on my own laptop since providing this download is the panels.fmf file from the Update-1730 folder.
Give this a go and let me know how you get on.

Would also be good if anyone else who's watching this thread would try install it themselves if they haven't already to see if it works for them.

Hmmm, that sounds like everything has installed in the right way. They're the only files in the download so it should be working.
What version number is your FM and what skin are you using?
I am on 17.3.2 and the skin is 'Football Manager'

OK, have just downloaded it again to have a look. My Readme is a little unclear actually, so can I confirm that you've dropped the unzipped Data folder in the correct place? It should overwrite the graphics.fmf and skins.fmf files as well as the panels.fmf, sections.fmf and skins.fmf files in 1730, 1731 and 1732 Updates folders. Maybe check you haven't dropped it one level higher or lower than intended.
If it's worked completely correctly then you shouldn't be able to see stars at all as they have been removed from the skin itself.

Hi, as you say, sounds like it's mostly worked if the pros and cons have gaps in now. Sounds like the issue is with the star images only?
Have you downloaded any other mods that affect star ratings? I'm wondering if there's a folder in your My Documents area, or similar, that might be taking precedent?
I don't have my laptop to hand at the moment, so can't help with specific folder locations, so if anyone else has any ideas as well, please chip in.

Hi, afraid this won't work on fm20. I'm actually enjoying playing with this mod so much I'm still playing Fm17 as a result!
No plans at the moment to move to the latest version, but wouldn't want to go back to playing with CA and PA so visible.

If you wanted to hide attributes a bit more in combination with this, you could use visual attributes instead? It's a preference in the game settings. Hiding them completely involves editing xml panel files.

Nope, just CA and PA with this one.

I have created a small mod to remove/hide any reference to CA or PA within the default skin.
DOWNLOAD LINK [1732 FINAL]: https://www.mediafire.com/file/ygh4gmvbqu1si4w/data.rar/file
DOWNLOAD LINK [1730 BASIC]: https://www.mediafire.com/?mainrtfa88wkjit
I had found myself mindlessly focusing on star ratings regardless of performance and scouring the globe for 5-star potential players. Using this mod removes any reference to Current Ability or Potential Ability from the game.
I'd love for some people to try it out (and ideally try and 'break' it by finding areas where it is still possible to sort or view PA or CA) and let me know what you think. More than happy to answer questions too and of course, anything I've missed I will update and re-upload.
After downloading the file, unzip the data folder (which contains a sub-folder called 'updates'). There's a readme with instructions contained within, but in essence all you do is drop the main folder (called 'data') at the following location, or the equivalent location on your computer: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2017
You may need to clear your User AppData, sometimes called the cache, to ensure the mod is loaded. C:\Users\<USER_NAME>\AppData\Local\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2017
NOTE: PLEASE CREATE A BACKUP OF YOUR EXISTING DATA FOLDER FIRST!
EDIT: Link updated, a few more screens/sections I'd missed the first time around now hidden.
To complete the mod, you will need to make a small adjustment within your saved game too. In the screenshot below you can see the three categories you will need to disable in your backroom advice topics. To reach this screen navigate to Staff>Responsibilities>Backroom Advice. Then left-click the 'Player Development' topic. That will bring up the tickboxes below. Simply untick all six boxes for 'Potential Ability Changes', 'High Potential Players' and 'Current Ability Changes'. This will ensure your backroom advice doesn't reference CA or PA in any way.
NOTE: If you are having trouble getting the mod to fully work, please read the rest of the thread for troubleshooting. In particular have a look at the following post:

For this I had to edit the icon picture itself. So I elongated the width of the picture so that it obscures the text. Hope that makes sense.
