CM - Dark Mode - Vol. 1

[Kubz]

Hey guys, lately it seems that having "dark mode" is becoming a trend in software, so I got inspired by this trend and started to work on some GFX for my CM game that I wanted to share with you. Here are some screenshots:







The .zip includes:

All international / continental competitions
Premiership
English cups
Bundesliga
German Cups
Serie A
Italian Cups
La Liga (div 1)
Spanish Cups
Default image
Miscellaneous images (i.e: trophy, board, etc.)
Menubars

If anyone is interested in the RGB codes for my game, here's a screenshot of my CM Color:

Love the design, don’t suppose you have any of the backgrounds in 1366 x 768?

[samsami]

Cool! But shouldn't this be moved to the Colour Schemes thread, though?

[MadScientist]

wow! looks great! I always play with a dark grey background, but yours look way better, thanks for sharing!

No, sorry.

Thanks, I really don't know, it's been awhile since I actively posted on the forums maybe some mod can help out here

[Dermotron]

I'll duplicate the OP into it. I'd be fairly certain its the first color scheme that comes with a complimentary image pack.

how i Instal this?

[Kubz]

how i Instal this?

For the BG's:
Unzip the file > go to the pictures folder > select all of the files and copy them > Open the pictures folder inside your Championship Manager 01-02 Folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Championship Manager 01-02) > Paste (if asked give adm permissions to it so they can move) > Done

For de Menubars:

Unzip the file > go to the menubars folder > select all of the files and copy them > Open the Data folder inside your Championship Manager 01-02 Folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Championship Manager 01-02) > Paste (if asked give adm permissions to it so they can move) > Done

For the other volumes of background pictures repeat the process as the pics.cfg file already contains all of the previous information

Just started back on my CM01/02 journey. I really like the dark mode images here, but does anyone care to share an idiot-proof step by step guide to installing these for the various standard resolutions? Presumably, everyone prefers higher resolution than the standard 800x600 though?

To put this plainly I would really like to play this game on the best resolution I can and install ideally nice background images/menu bar etc like the ones shown in this thread. If anyone can help with that it would be very much appreciated. I have actually started a game with Aberdeen, which isn't a team these backgrounds have been set up for I don't think. Does that make a difference?

There are three volumes now. Four and five coming soon, we hope.

Volume One is only the first part.

I think many people prefer 800x600. I used to play with 1280x800 but now Im likeing the default 800x600 better as its more compact, and i can put it in the corner of the screen and work on other stuff at the same time.

[samsami]

It would still be good to have an "idiot-proof step by step guide" as dabla 27 calls it.

I managed to install it but it wasn't very easy and I have already forgotten how I did it.

I find these skins very beautiful dark versions ...
.... in honor of this forum (beautiful) I would also add this menubar :

I will answer to the “idiot-proofing” below. I’m glad people like the packs, considering that the ratio would be all off. But since there is people who would like a bigger resolution, I could try to mod the PSD files to fit it, but it would probably be at a slower pace than the 800x600 packs

To your game, download this zip. It has the Aberdeen, Scotland and SPL RGNs and just copy paste it into your pics.cfg file (I’m adding the SPL to the coming soon so you can enjoy your game)

You guys just caught me working on Vol. 4, I will drop it today.

Give me a couple of days and I will make a step-by-step guide to install every volume.

Man, this is a really nice menubar, thanks a lot

How can you use it? It's a .jpg file and when I saved it as a bitmap file that did not help.

Very nice, thanks.
Quick question though, does CM Color tool not work with the official patch (3.9.65) as it just will not save the color changes. It loads the cm0102.exe and lets me change the rgb values and press 'ok' but when I load the game it doesn't work. Everytime I load up the CM Color tool. the rgb values are always back to default (just will not save the numbers I have put in)

I ask as it says nothing about needing any of the cm0102 patches to be able to use the tool in the download description: https://champman0102.co.uk/downloads.php?do=file&id=38

But I tried installing the unofficial patch 3.9.68 to check myself. Then with that patch installed, when I tried the CM Color tool it worked first time (it actually saved my rgb inputs, and worked in game too) But with that patch installed it changes the database to the 2002/03 season with a 2001 start date (As it's not an official patch. I think who ever made it also did a season update) I'm looking to just use the default 2001/02 database, with Keegans insane Man City Div 1 squad.

So I uninstalled and reinstalled cm0102 to get the database back to default, and tried the color changer tool again but it won't work.. so I am assuming it needs 3.9.68 to work.. which is a shame as I really like the look of this skin setup
