So since we messed with that theme changing plugin last week, I got to wanting to try to make one myself. When I tried to come up with an idea, I thought of Halloween, which lead me to this idea.
Halloween themed FNF on the 30th (maybe come up with some oddball game modes) and leave the server Halloween themed all day on the 31st. Here's a few images of what I have:

Thoughts on all of this?
Oh, also, just for Luca:

Too bad it's wheel of fortune whether you hit BLU or RED with monochrome
Luca has the next FNF doesnt he
if you mean next one jesus christ way to post early
The lighting is a tad bit too dark for the Halloween theme. Looks cool otherwise.
No, this is to judge interest. I still have more work to do if it's gonna work with any custom maps. In game though I don't think it's too dark. But thats me, your mileage may vary.
I wouldn't go with monochrome, but feel free to come up with a custom particle effect
The first two don't look particularly distinct at all... I have no idea wtf those particles are supposed to be, and otherwise it's just kinda dark.
I think the monochrome would be hilarious though.
The Monochrome one could have some color to it, subtle-like, to make it a playable Noir-type look.
if its a halloween theme, then you MUST show up in costume (a hat)
people without costumes get 50 lashes
install zombie fortress on at least one of the servers for the week, $20 says people actually check it out for halloween
Eh, it looks better in game ;P And you don't get much choice about the monochrome thing. It's really on or off unfortunately :\ Well, either way, I won't complain if ppl are willing to give it a try.
Code:
// Halloween -------------------------------------------------------
"Halloween"
{
"name" "Halloween"
"tag" "{red}"
"skybox"
{
"name" "sky_night_01"
"fog"
{
"enable" "1"
"color" "255 255 255"
"end" "5500"
"density" "0.5"
}
}
"fog"
{
"color" "255 255 255"
"start" "25"
"end" "5500"
"density" "0.5"
}
"particles"
{
"name" "env_themes_leaves"
}
"soundscape"
{
"inside" "Viaduct.Inside"
"outside" "Viaduct.Outside"
}
"lighting" "b"
"color1" "night.raw"
"color2" "storm.raw"
"nosun" "1"
}
Make sure it's inside the final "}" in the themes.cfg and add
Code:
"theme17"
{
"theme" "halloween"
}
to the "themeset.cfg" inside the final "}"

Hate to say this but, it's Halloween supposed to be dark and spooky. One night only though, more than that may be pushing it for me. x.x
I'm in. Especially if we use the KOTH map from last TFT (Maybe Crypt or something? Forgot the name)
Shit that looks boss.
I'd even like to try the monochrome thing just for kicks, I'm sure there are subtle differences between the two team's tones ;D
New Game Mode: Monochrome Wheel of Fortune: scouts only, granary, final destination (or however the joke goes ;P )

Too bad there isn't a Sin City filter, where it's just monochrome and red. At least then you'd be able to tell the teams apart.
Yeah, too bad they don't have more stuff in the shared GCF. It'd be nice to use the L4D overlays.
what about Zombie Fortress? I ran that mod on my server for awhile, and it was hella fun, it would be even more so with a full server. Thoughts?
We should def put zombie fortress on #2 all day on the 31st.
