Pumpkins 2008

[SinbadEV]

This is my pumpkin in Daylight (candle lit)



This is my pumpkin with my wife's pumpkin (she made "for my daughter")



This is my Pumpkin in the night...



... and so is this.



Notice the flames?

Figured this out last year: carve your pumpkin so that is has a bit of a "reservoir" (high mouth basically) then fill this reservoir with rubbing alcohol (I've found it has to be 70% or higher alcohol content)... then you light the alchohol on fire and basically the entire inside of the pumpkin is one big flame... and since it's rubbing alcohol it doesn't get much hotter then if it had a candle... works best on a moist pumpkin.

keep an eye on it and ensure it's somewhere where the flames won't light anything, top up the alcohol reservoir if it burns out ( I found about a half cup lasted about 20 minutes... you can buy the alcohol at a dollar store though so it's worth it.)

reminds me of some of azaremoth's units

Cool tip with the rubbing alcohol :D

[Zoy64]

can CA have a burning pumpkin unit?

[SinbadEV]

I've always liked the idea of Holiday Mutators.

[Zoy64]

well, there was a naked Santa unit once, is that what you mean?

[smoth]

that unit doesn't work in spring.

I don't see why we couldn't have gadgets that enable and disable things based on the current date. Like cookie rain on my birthday on dsd or xmas presents between 20th december and new years ( refer to Noizes xmas comet map for models )

[Peet]

System date isn't synced

I don't see why it cant be re-enabled just for the host in unsynced code, fterall cookie rain doesn't have to affect gameplay simulation.

[KaiserJ]

that pumpkin looks amazing; the design reminds me of "jack skellington"... and the rubbing alcohol is an awesome idea too.

just contributing here : some masks that i made for me and friends.





a plastic bag, some cardboard, duct tape, latex caulking and acrylic paint. really not all that difficult to make, i'll post the process in detail if there's any interest

[SinbadEV]

I really like the Dinosaur (Triceratops?) One

[Zoy64]

I was working on this but rattle won't get off his lazy ass and make me a christmas tree clogger. And you can't have christmas tree dragon's teeth without christmas tree cloggers.

Yeah, that's the kicker. I was told it's doable but with a lot of work, and nobody likes work.

some cool pumpkins

Actually, it's probably just fixing the UV map right? I'm sure you could figure that out with a little guess and check.
