1.01 Updated 28 September.
Just fixed a few small things:
- slingshots were not 100% aligned with the rubbers,
- a wall did not had the top visibility check,
- a wall was visible through Amys hand
- the ball could get stuck at the bottom of the right ramp. I'm not sure if this is is fixed, but I have build a wall around that area, so let's hope it works smile.gif

These are my tables, sorted by date, all them playable with VPX 7 or newer:

After 18 years making tables, it is time to take a rest and let new authors do their thing.

I guess at last I'll play some more pinball :). But I'm sure I'll make some table updates from time to time :)

I had a bug during the Skill Fire mode.... it was pumping out balls too fast and got locked up. The game tryed to do a ball search but couldn't find them. I pressed the O key and it showed the balls scattered down in the apron.

I have a question about the amy mode. I don't know if it's a bug or not but when the amy mode is started a countdown starts for the super score. When you flip the ball with the upper flipper to the loop around to the top is it supposed to award the super score? On the jive version it works on the first loop. On this version it can take up to 4 loops to credit the super score. I haven't seen or played a real congo machine so I don't know for sure. Other than that the table is flawless and done really well. Great work JP!! clapping.gif

There is 2 lanes,
1 at the top that scoops around to award super scores, and the 2nd lower 1 that does the loop for the continuous 5,10,15.etc millions.
If you get it from the top flipper it doubles......

About the balls disappearing: this is a bug in VP912. I guess VP912 was compiled with a new compiler and there are some issues with the ball collisions. I have added a kicker to catch some balls which will go through the floor, but I guess it can't catch all of them.

I'm going to update most of my tables (to update all of them it would take me over a year, so some will not be update just now), mostly the ones with performance problems, due to too many alpha ramps. So I guess Congo will be one of them.

Its so great to hear :-) i was unsure if it could be the crappy video adapter. or some settings i missed.

Wow I can't believe I actually have a problem with one of your pins
but in Congo when I shoot the ball it hits a post and just dies
it hits the one just under the left upper flipper and above the bulls eyes that sit there
so the ball just dies not bouncing off anything and just kind of drops down to the lower flippers
is that supposed to happen? Other than that yeah I did pop a free game on it
so it ain't taking away from game play at all just disappointing to watch it roll down like that with little to no action on it
