Very nice PD! Addictive gameplay -- found myself playing this for a while. Not an easy game and quite unique. Thanks to all the guys involved!

[Shooby Doo]

Awesome, glad you were able to get it finished PD.

Nice table ! Congrats for bringing your project to the end. Still waiting for a graphic update.
Thanks to everybody involved.

I didn't have the highest quality resources to make the table look sharp but that will chnage in the future. StrangeLeo72 has a friend that has this game and that friend will be getting better quality pics available in the future. Hopefully without too much trouble I will swap out the images used in this table with the better ones.

i scored the top kickerhole like 5 times and the 5th time my ball got stuck and was never released.

[Practicedummy]

I believe that's a rom issue. try nudging. I saw a youtube video of this game and the guy playing had to nudge the table when the ball wouldn't kick out from that kicker.

After playing this table for a while I realize how awful of texture the metal railing (walls) look. The metal image I used isn't that good for that purpose. Anyone know what metal image would be good for this? I have several but none of them are doing the job or look even worse than the original images I used.

Version 1.01 released. I corrected the bonus multiplier lights. They now have the range X2-X5 instead of X2-X8. Saw this in the instruction card just now and realized my mistake.

[Practicedummy]

Version 1.1 released. Lowered rightmost outlane trigger. Gate was closing before the ball got diverted into the plunger lane when gate is open. Scripted in animation routine for circular targets in captured ball area (forgot about that detail).

Here are my questions about the game after reading the instruction cards.

1) How do you light the spinners for 1,000. I thinks when you score 2X, 3X etc. they flash so I know they work.

2) How do you advance the left outlane which seems stuck on 10? I have done the river styx like it says but it does not advance.

Thanks for release,Practicedummy.Just came back from summer cottage and this was a
nice surprise.

for the best images just google 'pics of stainless steel' and pick from them
that is how I get all sorts of cool metal or wood bmps to use

The spinners I don't know how to get them to light for 1,000, the leftmost flipper return lane IS supposed to advance (I think). I'll check the scripting to see if I had missed something.

[Practicedummy]

Checked the scripting and it seems like everything is how it should be. I compared the script with the VP8 version of Algar and the script is the same. I'll keep checking on this.

Fixed the River Styx problem. Version 1_2 released.

Thank you guys for the input!

Thanks for the fix and by the way the spinner now works since it is tied to the river styx

[Practicedummy]

Super! I didn't know that. Now if I can get some metal textures and get them to work (possibly doing some editing work through GIMP) on the metal walls, the table will look better.

Will have to wait until I get the modular power supply tomorrow. Got my new compnents for my computer which includes a new motherboard with three video card slots but has a six pin jack on it and the two I do have is used for my video card. lol

Updated to Version 1.2.1. Found metal textures to use for the metal walls.

[Practicedummy]

Updated to version 1.2.3. Changed the physics of the flippers, bumpers, and the table itself. After playing with other recently created recrations, my table didn't have the right feel to it.
