As a member that seeks ways to contribute... I did notice a bit of a quirk on my PC playing in desktop mode.   The lights for the letters "C O N G O" in the lower playfield do not match the lower playfield graphic.  The lights are taller, and skewed differently.  I tried to adjust the lights, but I could not find a way to view the lower playfield in the editor.  I don't know if this would be different in the full screen mode, etc. but thought I would share.  

 

Edit:  Maybe this is an easier way to say this.... the shape of the lit letters is different than the shape of the unlit letters.

 
Here's a couple of screenshots that show it:

Love it, nfozzy. The physics are tuned really well I think. The internal lighting on the volcano looks so great! Super fun table. Challenging. I tried all morning to get multiball going. Looking forward to another crack at it this afternoon. Thanks so much!

I had never played this table, but it's really fun.  I like the way the ball enters the table on the lower half.  Thanks for this one.   :)

I'm getting some freezes. The ball vanishes and sound goes into very short repeated loops... then jumps ahead a bit and goes into the loops again.

 

Have tried in both 10.0 and latest beta.

 

All suggestions to fix appreciated.

Looks like a nice table :)

Thanks

 

BTW, what does the
Line 85 and 88, both .Hidden 1 -> change to 0
mean?

I saw an issue with this and the KISS table about music missing, does it resolve that?

 

Thanks

Not related at all .. This hides the dmd for tables where the score/digits are displayed in the backglass itself.

Thank you

Just want to say thanks again for this one, nfozzy. Lots of really polished graphical touches. A real work of art. This is an underrated table in real life, if you ask me (same designer as CftBL and Ghostbusters!). The theme grows on you. Lots of flow. Getting three ball multiball started on this table is a real achievement in itself. Great challenge.

Congo is one of my favorite Tables and this might force my hand to upgrade my graphics card to play VPX, because this table looks GREAT!!!

I always try to focus on hitting the right volcano ramp which after so many times lights the Extra-Ball. I Play this machine hours upon hours and with this method can really rack up the points!

There really is alot of different missions and goals going on with this table.

Best Movie Pinball ever made in my opinion!!!

And yes, "I gave her the bananna with the dope inside". LOL

 

Keep on Pinballin'
