Big Buck Hunter Pro (Stern 2010) - MOD: Gameplay Fixes, Playfield clean-up

Big Buck Hunter Pro (Stern 2010) - VPURemix patch

Modded version to fix gameplay bugs and enhance visuals.
 

This is a VPURemix patch, not a standalone table. You need the VPURemix tool to apply it to the base table. Without the tool it will not work.
 

Credits

All credit for the table itself goes to the people who built it:

• Original table by 32assassin and 85vett (2019)
• VR Room upgrade by Retro27 and Sixtoe (2021)
• Modern Upgrade by TastyWasps (2023)

This patch is based on the @TastyWasps release: https://vpuniverse.com/files/file/18215-big-buck-hunter-pro-stern-2010/
 

I sent TastyWasps a message about this patch but have not had a reply. If there are any objections to it being here, let me know and I will take it down.
 

Thanks to everyone above for the work that made this possible. Everything below is only a set of fixes on top of their table.

What is fixed

• The buck now moves the way the real machine does, and stays correct after Big Buck Multiball. It is also hittable exactly where you see it standing.
• Elk Multiball works properly. The diverter no longer flaps around, and jackpots only score on a real shot into the elk.
• The bumpers lit the wrong lamp on every hit. Fixed.
• No more stray flipper sound when launching the ball with the plunger.
• The up-posts now have proper solenoid sounds, both going up and coming back down.
• The elk diverter had no sound at all. It now has one when it fires and one when it lets go.
• Post and diverter sounds play positionally and follow the Mech Sound Volume slider.
• The apron artwork was stretched in places. It now sits evenly on the apron.
• Instruction cards now work in every mode, not just VR.
• Various small leftovers in the script cleaned up.

What is new

• All table settings now live in the in-game Table Options menu (F12).
• Cabinet side blades work in desktop mode too, not just VR. 9 to choose from, 8 of them new.
• Apron art can be changed. 3 to choose from, 2 of them new. One leaves out the instruction cards and closes the card windows for the full artwork.
• Flipper art can be changed. 5 to choose from, 4 of them new.
• The plunger cover has an alternative design next to the Stern original.
• Two side blades, one apron, the plunger cover and one flipper style are based on the real Wizard Mod machine.

Visual changes

• All lamps changed to incandescent lights.
• Inserts adjusted so they line up better.
• New playfield upscale, so the text is properly readable.
• New slingshot decals with fewer artifacts.

Requirements

• VPURemix tool to apply the patch
• VPX 10.8 or newer
• ROM bbh_170
