Newsletter Halloween Theme

[Gwaihir Scout]

The Halloween theme is great, Joshua. I'm probably going to keep using it for my entire Tyrant's Grasp game. But there's a problem with the character portraits. There's an area around them that overlaps with the others.

Would you mind fixing it?

Thank you so much for pointing that out! I will fix this straight away!

[jwatmough]

Its been fixed and I added an additional spooky castle decal for some variety :)

[Gwaihir Scout]

That'll do, thanks!

Is there a permanent download location on the website thats easy to find or just the link buried in the newsletter? Personally I think it should be included in the default extensions like the Simple Brown and Gray themes!

[Moon Wizard]

We're still figuring out long term plans for official themes, and this one is thematic to this holiday; so we decided to just place on the forums for now.

Thanks,

[mattekure]

Sounds good. I do love the theme

[LordEntrails]

I'm using it tonight!

[LordEntrails]

And, here's what it looks like with my Undermountain decal. Works pretty well :)

Thanks again!

Thats just beautiful

[Moon Wizard]

Yeah, we're really impressed with Joshua's artwork. Plus, he put that extension together complete on his own, and presented to us. Go Joshua!

Sweet theme :)

[Larsenex]

This is a really nice theme. Thank you. I may end up keeping it up for far longer unless there are others...in the pipeline.

Will the Halloween theme be updated for Unity? I get a few errors when I load it in Unity right now

[jwatmough]

Absolutely, I will take a look at it and get it updated as soon as possible. Thank you for pointing this out!

Also thank you for making this!

Is there a permanent link to this, like a blog post, etc? As far as my wimpy search skills can verify, this thread is the only place other than the newsletter to know it exists.

as far as I know, those are the only two places its linked. I'd love for it to be officially released as one of the default themes, or have a dedicated thread but that doesnt exist currently.

[LordEntrails]

I'm guessing this is now sort of the thread for the theme. I've added a link to the OP so folks can find the theme a bit easier.

[GavinRuneblade]

Thanks!

Good Day All :)
I downloaded this from the OP today and am still getting errors when opened in FGU. Is there an updated version of this? :)

[jwatmough]

I will take a look at it in FGU and fix any issues.

[jwatmough]

Here is an updated version that should not have any errors in FGU.
Thanks so much all, and let me know if you find any other issues.

I am getting an error on the theme. It doesn't seem to be effecting anything that I've found so far.

[jaharmi]

I am getting the same errors with the theme as @vegaserik.

[Moon Wizard]

I've passed it along to @jwatmough to review.

Two other notes:

1. The theme appears in the extension list as just "Halloween." It would be helpful if it was "Theme: Halloween" so that it sorted with all the other themes.
2. I also get the background repeating vertically. I don't know anything about themes and their requirements, but it would be nice if the background didn't repeat like this. I'm on a 5k2 monitor (5120 x 2160 resolution), using 2/3 of the width and the full height for my FGU window. Attaching a picture.

Has the theme been updated? I ask because I'm starting a Halloween one shot today.

It works for me. I have been using it all month. Please note, you will get errors as the side bar images are no longer there.

Good Day Roshne :)
Thanks for updating this. I always liked it but the errors always threw off some of my players. :)
