- Multi-aspect ratio for diverse monitors.
- INSTALLATION -
Requirement 1: Derpy's Script Loader 7.0 or greater (FULL VERSION, NOT S!!)
Requirement 2: Enabled DSL System Access (see the instruction below)
DSL system access is required to access the C package (MainMenu.dll) provided by this mod and use the I/O facilities provided by Lua 5.0.2. I need them to read the game data and registry because the base game functions are incapable of doing so.
Instructions to install the mod:
- Extract the 7z archive
- Copy (or Cut) _derpy_script_loader folder
- Paste it to your Bully - Scholarship Edition folder
- Done
Instructions to uninstall the mod:
- Delete "../derpy_script_loader/scripts/MainMenu" folder
- Delete "../derpy_script_loader/packages/MainMenu.dll" file
- Done
Instructions to enable DSL system access:
- Open "../_derpy_script_loader/config.txt" file with Notepad
- Change allow_system_access false to allow_system_access true
- Change yes_im_sure_i_know_what_im_doing false to yes_im_sure_i_know_what_im_doing true
- Click File > Save
- Done
- LIMITATION -
- Localization: Diacritical marks (accents) and non-roman characters are not supported.
Sound Effect: The sound effect is missing because the "Load" feature is not natively available in the main menu. We cannot simulate the sound effect due to restrictions during the "init_script" phase.Solved in V2.0.
- NOTE -
- Avoid using the "/restart" or "/stop" command as this mod does NOT serve as a replacement. Instead, it operates by layering the main menu and influencing its behavior.
- You can create your own translation file in the "../derpy_script_loader/scripts/MainMenu/Translations/" folder. Follow the same format as the provided translations by the mod. However, it is worth noting that if your language uses a diacritical mark or non-roman character, the game will not show the character properly.
- A monitor with a wide aspect ratio (like 21:9) and multi-monitors have not been tested yet. It is recommended to use a single monitor with a 16:9 or 16:10 aspect ratio for the best result.
