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 85vette (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. It is fully driven by the ROM instead of guessing from the lamps, so Big Buck Multiball no longer breaks the buck's behaviour afterwards. The buck 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 instead of on random contact.
• The bumpers were wired to the wrong switches, so every hit lit the wrong bumper lamp. Fixed.
• All table settings (sound levels, ball shadows, instruction cards, cabinet and VR room looks, color LUT, VPinMAME DMD) moved into the in-game Table Options menu (F12).
• Instruction cards now work in every mode, not just VR.
• Various small leftovers in the script cleaned up.

Visual changes

• All lamps changed to incandescent lights.
• Inserts slightly adjusted so they line up better.
• New playfield with a better 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
