Near Dark (Stern 1979) [VPX Table] v1.0

 

Inspired by the 1987 film “Near Dark” directed by Kathryn Bigelow, starring Bill Paxton, Lance Henriksen, and Jenny Wright.

 

This is a  VPX reskin/mod of bord’s Stern Dracula (1979) v2.1.1 (adding puppack triggers - no other functional changes were made)

 

I owned a real Stern Dracula years ago but I was craving different graphics so I jumped into this mod. I've never attempted anything like this but hopefully some folks will enjoy it.

 

This table was designed for my 3 screen cabinet, with the video player running on the full DMD.  I suppose the PupPack isn't required, but it really is the whole point so I'd recommend giving it a try.

I have not attempted to make versions for other cabinet use-cases yet but feel free to dig into it, if you're so inclined.

 

Since folks sometimes skip the ReadMe...

 

ROM Installation & Alias Setup (REQUIRED!):
------------------------------------------

Download dracula.zip (do NOT unzip) from VPForums and place it in your Visual Pinball\VPinMAME\roms folder.

Open (or create) the file Visual Pinball\VPinMAME\VPMAlias.txt in a text editor.

Add this line to the bottom:

 

neardark2025,dracula

 

Save the file.

Do not rename dracula.zip. The alias tells the table to use the correct ROM.
