TUTORIALS / Re: [PC][Tutorial] Editing language files with ease!
« on: April 05, 2012, 12:50:51 PM »
Very good tutorial m8.

I will add this tutorial with screenshots of my own to the Bully Modding Bible when I get to that chapter if it is ok with you m8.

Thanks mate!

I'd be happy if you'd include this in your Bully Modding Bible, as I really like it so far. :) Good luck with that.

About renaming characters: Yep, that's not hard at all. Although my main goal was to help modders translate the game to their own language. Might aswell extend this with a tutorial for editing the characters sets of the game, since not every language has the same character sets. :)

Modding Questions/Help Archives / Getting coordinates of the player.

Hey guys!

Is there a way to get the correct coordinates of the player? I'm asking this because spawnin objects isn't really possible without coordinates, and memory editing isn't my thing in the first place.

Thanks in advance!

TUTORIALS / [PC][Tutorial] Editing language files with ease!
« on: April 03, 2012, 04:41:54 AM »
Hey there guys!
As the title suggests, this tutorial will contain information regarding the editing of language files in Bully: Scholarship Edition’s PC version.
As you may know, the game uses similar extension to GTA, to store numerous files in one, rather than having folders with thousands of different files. The same method goes for the game’s text files, which can be found in C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Bully: Scholarship Edition\config\text\*.img. The * is the name of the .img file you’d like to edit, as there are eight different languages installed with the stock game.
Now, the editing of the .IMG files is a piece of cake, but when doing this, you are going to see that the language files in the archives are actually .bin files, which cannot be edited with anything yet, but a program I’ve got from one of my friends.
So what you’ll need to edit language files? Here’s a short list.

-   The IMG decompiler which decodes the .bin files.
-   A proper text editor.

After making sure you have the tools to edit the text files, here’s a step-by-step tutorial on how to use the decompiler:

1.   Step

Select the .img and .dir of the language you’d like to edit, then drag it on top of the decompiler. After you have done that, there will be a new folder, which will have the same name as the .img you’ve chosen to edit.

2.   Step

Go to the newly created folder. The files from the archive will be there, but with a .txt extension, which can be edited in notepad, or notepad++, or any other text editing utilities. Don’t edit the numbers on the left, only the text on the right.

3.   Step

After you are done editing the files, go back to the folder where the decompiler is, then drag the folder of your language (like American) on top of the bullydecompiler.exe. If that’s done, you’ll get two files with the name of the language you’ve edited, with a .gv extension.
Rename those files so they’ll only have the .img extension.

4.   Step

We are almost done. The next thing you’d have to do is open up notepad++ and open the newly created .img file, and then use the replace function. In the “Find what” textbox, paste “yy” (without the “) and replace it with “˙˙” (again, without the “).
Click on replace all, and when it’s done, save the file.

5.   Step

Put both the .img and .dir files back to the games config/text folder, replacing the original ones, and voila, you are done!

If pictures are needed for better understanding of this tutorial, just post in here and say it. :)

Modding Questions/Help Archives / Need help with some files!
« on: April 02, 2012, 02:22:52 AM »
Hey there,

I've been messing around with some hud related files and somehow my game went completely unusable. Could someone please upload the hdt folder in the config folder so I won't have to completely reinstall the game?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks to a friend of mine, I've got my hands on a really useful tool, which decompiles the files as .txt files. I'll post a link for the tool, along with it a tutorial, on how to use it properly. :)

Hey guys!

Although I'm new here, my first post comes with a question about modding Bully: SE on pc. Since I'm a Grand Theft Auto fan myself, I've managed to open up the american.img file with a simple IMG editor, but the thing I need next is some advice on editing the .bin files, since as far as I know, these are unique to the game engine.

Tried using google to find something useful, but no success. Every help would be appreciated!

P.S.: And one more question: Are there any character set files for the game? If yes, which, and where are they? :)

On a side note: Hex editing isn't okay for me, because my language has pretty long expressions/words, compared to other languages (Hungarian... meh.). But if there's no other way, then I'm doomed to do it that way. :/
