This is beyond amazing, this is beyond greatness. What an amazing work by @BassyBoy , one of the most genuine and amazing human beings out there. Keep up the good work!!
So in an attempt to highlight what will be changing for version 4.0 of the #FM26 and #FM27 3D Stadium and Environment Megapack you'll notice a few things right off the bat. The name is changing, and that is not without reason. Let's call this the first "deep dive" The single biggest change in this version is how the environment looks, reacts, feels and interacts with the matchday. From this version on you will have an astrologically correct day and night cycle that will change how the match looks. This allows matches in Brasil to look brighter during the day and have shadows behave differently since the sun angle is steeper when compared to say Norway where the shadows are longer. This interacts with the structure shadows too, allowing real-time moving shadows on the pitch which showcase the stadium realistically. Furthermore, this will let you experience sunsets and moonrises accurate to the time of year as well as dynamic weather starting and stopping when it's cloudy, something which interacts directly with the players on the pitch. The second biggest change is how lighting is treated. As of 4.0 there's specific lighting that takes place depending of time of day, with nights having a brighter, colder feel to them, but daytime games being less blue. This has been a tremendous rewrite, but the results speak for themselves! Alongside that the amount of stadiums have increased from 270 to 400. They've not only been added, every stadium will have seen the lighting and turfs revisited and improved whilst not increasing file sizes - and in many cases shrinking them! The video I've included shows off the shadows and pitch changes as well as the day/night changes. Hopefully this has been a slight bit insightful, happy to have this posted too :D

A glimpse of what @parbiter_fm is cooking behind the scenes. Wonderful work by an amazing person. Keep up the good work!
better than custom roles: I can define phases based on ball position and define different tactics and roles per phase. 3-3-4 in build-up to 3-1-6 in the final third. Editor is still awkward but will try to wire it into the FM tactical editor directly

Amazing work by @parbiter_fm ! This open so many possibilities not only for FM26 and beyond. Keep up the good work!
Custom roles in FM26 - pictured ST that drops to CB when ball is in his own half, obviously dumb but just for demo purposes. Lot of flexibility possible.

It is unbelievable that this saga continues. @MiguelFMAds is profiting illegally via stealing content. Action is being taken via legal channels. No one should accept this or even support this kind of behaviour. Enough is enough.
The theft saga continues. After stealing the fonts and plugin from Sethem, then basing his commentary mods on the work done by Declan he has now done the same to my own plugins. The latest pack by Miguel uses a version of my StadiumInjection plugin that was on a Patreon paywall. He did not ask for permission. He did not give credit. He simply took a plugin and has now redistributed it for free. You can discuss the morality of the paywall to the extent you want to, but this is beyond that. I went ahead and did some investigation, deep investigation. I looked at all his stuff, comparing file hashes, metadata extraction, and audio fingerprinting. Chants, photos, fonts, music, you name it. I went through it all. Alongside taking adboards from various PES packs and individuals without asking permission, he seems to have done so for audio as well. I found 40+ audio tracks matching the PES pack from Predator and Mauri. The least you can do is reach out. Something he has failed to do on so many occasions now. I think he is talented and the fact he adds what he adds in the way he does adds to the game, but all his additions are taken without permission, without the appropriate credit, without acknowledging any social norm that the modding scene goes by. I hoped he would change his ways after last week, and I really wanted him to redeem himself, really did. But now he is continuing on his merry old way... Because this ultimately can, and likely will affect players from both the #FootballManager and #PES/#eFootball playerbases, I will be doing what I can to get his operations shut down. If you have been affected please do reply here or send me a DM if you are interested in filing a joint complaint.

Amazing work from @BassyBoy once again. The GOAT strikes again! Amazing work and a wonderful person all around!
🚨FREE CAMERA PLUGIN🚨 Hey everyone! In anticipation for the new update I have decided to release my new #FM26 standalone camera plugin to the public! For now it is available on Patreon and my Website. Both will be linked below! What this plugin does is quite simple, it brings back the free camera. You can activate it pressing F5 on your keyboard and in the top right hand corner of your screen you will see a box with instructions in it. This is now running with BepInEx and therefore will be able to work without having to re-add the bundle after every FM update. I do not know if this works out of the box on Macbooks, I do not have a macbook and hence won't be able to help you there. But there are some really smart folk who do use a macbook, so if any of you have anything, feel free to help out :D If you want to be there for the stream when 2.4 releases, check it out here: youtube.com/live/0uy2Ii2UvMI

Amazing work by @MrTini23 thanks to the pioneering work by @LotsgonYT and the tool he designed! And be respectful of skin creators. They do this for free and for the love of the game. If you have issues, do it yourself. The tool is there to be used.
v4.0 of my #FM26 skin is released This will be the last update until SI release their next patch. Changelog v4.0 - Renamed to 4.0 to avoid patch-related confusion - Fixed a bug that saw player profile images being duplicated - Fixed a bug that saw staff images being cut off patreon.com/posts/mrtini23-f…
