CM - Dark Mode (all volumes)

[Kubz]

looks good, does it work if you use 1280 x 800 resolution?

No, sorry. I have plans to eventually moving to do 1280x800, but there is still a long way to go :/

Hi, Kubz

Amazing work, Kudos!

What font are you using? It looks fantastic, nice and clean.

Cheers

Thank you for the kind words, appreciate it. The font I'm using is Open Sans, you can get it (and plenty of other fonts designed specially for digital use) here: https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Open+Sans


Enjoy!

P.S: Sorry 🙏 to everyone who was waiting on more updates on the pack, but got a new job and just this week was able to resucitate my computer. Hopefully I will be able to get back on track and deliver another update this month.

i have cmdark 1280x800 how do i upload the zip?

[Barkermush]

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

Hello, thank you very much for this beautiful work!

I would like to ask if there's going to be new Volumes? It would be great if the Portuguese teams would have their background images, at least the bigger teams.

Keep up the good work!

I would try using CM Color as administrator (right click on it, run as administrator) and if that doesn't work, you can go to the Technical Support forum where people waaaaaayyyy more skilled than me :p will gladly help you bro https://champman0102.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=10

Hey guys. Thanks a lot to everyone for doing such a great work and share it with us.
I have three questions concerning the dark mode, if somebody could answer.

A) Is the Dark mode compatible with Tapani 2.21.1 patch?
B) In order to be completed, you have to download only the latest of the versions or one by one?
C) The background is only for the league tables and competitions or for the in-team backgrounds (squad, training etc)?

Thanks in advance.

B) Currently you still have to download them all. When it's finished he will put everything in one ZIP-file
C) The background is for everything.

Thanks for the info Samsami.
I suppose you don't know about Compatibility with Tapani? or it doesn't matter what kind of cm0102.exe we use?

I don't think so. It worked well for me with the Saturn patch as you can see in my latest story.

[MadScientist]

saturn patch contains tapani patch so it should work well with tapani patch too

Hi when will vol.6 be available thanks

[asrut10]

is there a step by step guide to get these working? Not that good at working it all out myself

[Kubz]

Hi guys, I’m finally back and finally I will be able to drop a new Volume in the Dark Mode bg’s. I wanted to apologize for taking this long to finally get this one done but I’ve had a ton of “new things” in my life that have taken some serious time away from me, so I had to make some decisions. So finally, here it is volume 6 (don’t worry, I will continue with it but probably at a slower rate for the time being, so sorry):











The .zip includes:
Argentinean Div.2
Brazilian Div.2
Chilean other teams (teams with no division)
Scottish Div.1 (including national team, and domestic cups)
United States other teams 1 (this was done solely fc I really liked the LAFC design and found out that the MLS has 3 lower divisions, so if you don’t want to clog your hard drive with these, feel free to delete them)
If anyone is interested in the RGB codes for my game (with a bit of tweaking thanks to Samsami), here's a screenshot of my CM Color:



Download Link:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/x0z33...vol.6.zip/file

Intructions:
In order to get every image remember to download the previous releases (links below) preferably in order since there is 1 file that will continuously be overwritten with each pack.

1- Download the packs
2- Open and extract the packs
3- Copy the files inside the folder
4- Paste as Administrator the file inside the Pictures folder in your CM instalation
(C:\Program Files (x86)\Championship Manager 01-02\Pictures)
5- Allow to replace the pics.cfg file so it can be overwritten, don't worry about losing info each pack has a pics.cfg file that contains all of the data from the previous releases (if you have other packs or like the original pictures you might need to copy and paste into your own pics.cfg file manually)
6- Make sure everything is ready and fire up your CM, enjoy!

[tc84moreno]

This background doensn't work for me in network game, can anyone help me?

[ballo]

Thank you very much for the packs.

I'm having a problem with the background of Spain La Liga and CL, they don't show up when you on their page.
Is there any solution for this problem?

thanks in advance!

I have downloaded Vol 1 and copied it into the pictures folder on the the program files.

How do you then select the darkmode options on the game? I am running version 3.9.68

can this ne done on a saved game or is it only available on a new game?

It should work on a save file. It did on mine.

I installed all six packs: https://champman0102.co.uk/showthrea...964#post468964

There are step by step instructions in the link above.

[M.C.F.C]

Really enjoying this background pack Kubz

[samsami]

It's wonderful stuff. Hope it will become available soon in one Zip-file.

Just had to do a reinstall from the six zip-files and I have forgotten why (and if) it's necessary to install them all seperately and in the right order and if putting the lot into one Zip-file would cause problems or not?

[Kubz]

Sorry guys for being away for so long, quarentine is kicking my ass right now. But I'm still working on it. A small update:

I will be posting a massive zip (hopefully sometime soon) with an updated set of backgrounds, the reason for the update is that I noticed that some backgrounds weren't exactly where they should be and in some screens of the game they looked odd (sorry, a bit of OCD there).

I was thinking about what the best approach would be for the changes but eventually just realized that the massive zip replacing everything posted so far would be a better strategy for it.

Sorry for coming back empty handed but I promise this will get done.
