BULLY Expanded and Enhanced

"This Mod is dedicated to all the people that told me I'd never amount to nothing — and to all the people that told me I would." – FewHelicopter

Bully’s combat has always been fun—but predictable and easy.

Bully: Expanded and Enhanced is an overhaul of Bully’s combat system, aiming to stay vanilla-friendly while making fights more dynamic and engaging, allowing for smarter, faster, more relentless and brutal NPCs that turn every schoolyard scrap into a high-stakes brawl.

Please note that this Mod was built on the foundations of the "Fixes and Improvements" Mod created by VegasFest. We highly recommend checking out their Mod here: https://www.nexusmods.com/bullyscholarshipedition/mods/114

Features (so far):

-  Reactive AI:

NPCs capitalize on stuns, knockdowns, and openings.

- Special Attacks

As fights intensify, some enemies can unleash devastating Unblockable moves that knock down their target and deal heavy damage (work in progress).

-  Dynamic Combat Flow:

Fights evolve naturally instead of feeling scripted.

- More Aggressive Enemies:

More pressure by the NPCs and less waiting.

- Expanded Movesets:

Unique attacks and behaviors per fighting style.

- New Player Mechanics:

Evades, Manual Block, and enemy states capitalization.

- Dynamic Reactions System:

NPCs respond to stunned or downed targets, creating more realistic group fights, even sometimes interfering with each other.

- A brand new Contextual Finisher System:

New contextual attacks based on enemy state (gut stun, head stun, knockdown, etc.).

Outcomes change depending on positioning (front or behind).

Works for both Players and NPCs.

- Reworked Grappling:

Randomized reversal inputs for more challenge and variety.

- Fighting Style Overhauls:

Each style now behaves differently with unique combos and opportunities.

- Breakfall Mechanic:

Recover mid-fall with timed inputs.

-- Installation:

- Act Installation:

Option 1: Easy; Replace your Act folder with the one provided in the "Easy Install (Act)" folder.

Option 2: Compatibility; Use an IMG Editor to replace the . Cat files within Act.img and then Rebuild.

Use this if you have other Act mods installed or want some of this Mod's files but would rather keep the ones you already have in place of others.

- Script Installation:

Option 1: Compatibility (DSL); Take the file known as "E&E.lua" and place it inside of "Scripts" inside of "_derpy_script_loader" in your Game Directory if you have DSL.

Some systems are not finalized and balance is still in progress as this version was made to first showcase new systems and core mechanics.

If you encounter any issues, please comment on the Mod Page, so we can identify and fix them faster.
