Bully is a rushed surprise release from Rockstar Games that changes up the usual violent setting of their open-world games and puts players in a rather relatable high school setting where Jimmy Hopkins stands up to abusers, gets in ego-driven conflicts, and causes some mischief while also struggling against the developers who are trying to limit his speech.

It received a remaster in 2008 featuring extra content called Bully: Scholarship Edition, for Xbox 360, Wii, and PC.

To do: Some of the content on the Scholarship Edition (Windows) article belongs here. Almost every single category requires expansion. Refer to each Category/Sub-Page's To do. Ex. objects/models: chocolate bar model with leftover "chocolog" branding. Add: Anti-piracy feature(s).

Missions

Unused Scripts

3_03.lur

The script for the scrapped mission Rendezvous.

As shown by its ID, it was going to become available in Chapter III after Bait (3_02).

It involved Jimmy helping Lola to protect Tad from some greasers while they both try to get along with each other. Despite this mission getting cut, Lola still mentions in the intro cutscene of The Rumble that Tad is one of the boys that fight for her.

The script is really unpolished and it makes no use of any of the remaining quotes in the files.

3_07.lur

The script for a scrapped Christmas mission for Chapter III.

It spawns Jimmy where his room on the removed second floor of the boys' dorm used to be, and Justin, Pedro, and Trevor on the first floor. It makes them start conversing once Jimmy gets near where the stairs used to be.

Like 3_03.lur, the script is unpolished. It doesn't use any of the remaining quotes and will crash the game as it tries to load a splash screen texture that was deleted.

Unused Missions

Valid IDs that are registered within the game and therefore can be launched, but have no leftovers to do so properly.

Mission ID	Notes
Post_1_03	chap1.act calls it Post1.03_Respect Tutorial Mission. Its post1_03.lur script is missing. The ID indicates it was a mission that would come after The Setup.

Scrapped Missions

Unique IDs mentioned by various leftover files that aren't registered at all.

Mission ID	Notes
1_R01	Unknown. The ID indicates a replayable type of mission for Chapter I.
2_SS01	Unknown. The ID doesn't follow any known pattern.
2_S07	Chapter II side mission that would later partially reappear on Scholarship Edition as Small Offences.
2_R04	Chapter II replayable mission whose few leftover files (2_R04.lur), shows it was meant to be a firefighter job.
3_03	Refers to Rendezvous, previously mentioned.
3_07	Refers to the Christmas mission described above.
3_R05	One of its few leftovers (3_R05ChemicalDeliv.agr), shows it was meant for a mission called Chemical Deliveries. It would later reappear in Scholarship Edition as Discreet Deliveries. The ID indicates it might've been planned as a replayable mission earlier in development.
3_S08	Chapter III side mission that would later reappear in Scholarship Edition as Mailbox Armageddon. In Scholarship Edition it becomes available on Chapter V instead.
3_R07	It would later reappear in Scholarship Edition as The Collector. Just like 3_S08, it was moved from Chapter III to V in Scholarship Edition The ID indicates it might've been planned as a replayable mission earlier in development.
4_S11	It was meant for a scrapped mission called The Paddle.

Minigames

Unused Scripts

GraffitiCleanup.lur

An incomplete script for Graffiti Clean-up, a scrapped punishment minigame. It seems to be pretty unpolished, as the player isn't even given control.
Even then, with the absence of the removed Brush and the graffiti to clean, this would still be impossible to complete.

Replacing the Snow Shoveling minigame's script is the only way to properly launch this, as they share the same data that determines which difficulty to set.
It's possible that Snow Shoveling was scripted on top of the remnants of this.

• If Jimmy has been busted once, he and Seth will spawn at the school.
• If Jimmy has been busted twice, he and Pirate Vance will spawn in Bullworth Town.
• If Jimmy has been busted thrice, he and Pirate Vance will spawn in New Coventry.

Pirate Vance is likely not the intended ped meant for the script, his ID probably belonged to someone else earlier in development.

This script, unlike Lawn Mowing and Snow Shoveling, uses MS_PunishmentDetention for its background music, instead of MS_CarnivalFunhouseMiner.

Unused Minigames

There are valid IDs that are registered within the game and therefore can be launched but have no leftovers to do so properly.

Minigame ID	Notes
AG_SO	Minigames.cat calls it ARCADE - Desert Fighter.
LunarLander	Minigames.cat calls it ARCADE - Lunar Lander.
MGGandG	Minigames.cat calls it ARCADE - Grottos and Gremlins.
MGNuclearRain	Minigames.cat calls it ARCADE - Nuclear Rain.

Scrapped Minigames

Unique IDs mentioned by various leftover files that aren't registered at all.

Minigame ID	Notes
GarbagePunishment	Unknown.

Unused Content

Wrestling Class

Wrestling was originally its own class, having 5 lessons like all the others, but only its first two are used as part of Gym Class (1 and 3, respectively), as the others launch Dodgeball sessions.
Wrestling1.lur still contains code for the remaining 3 Wrestling lessons, and can be launched with the same logic as Prep Challenge.

• The third lesson is playable by forcing the script's parameter to be 3. The player fights against the scrapped student Bob and is tasked with reversing three grapples of his, then defeating him.
  Evidently, Jimmy wasn't going to have the ability to do Reversals since the beginning of the game.
• The fourth lesson is playable by forcing the script's parameter to be 4. The player fights against Bob and is tasked with defeating him.
• The fifth lesson is playable by forcing the script's parameter to be 5. Same as the former, but against Luis.
• The sixth lesson (aka repeating class 5) is playable by forcing the script's parameter to be 6 or higher. It's the same as the fifth but Luis' health is slightly increased.

Wrestling 3	Wrestling 4	Wrestling 5

Additional information:

• The script for the third lesson seems to be incomplete since the player automatically passes if the timer runs out. Bob is scripted not to play the "knocked out" animation when you complete it.
• In the fifth lesson, the intro features a unique camera angle that focuses on Luis as he plays some animations. The camera, however, is a bit too close to him.

(Source: deadpoolXYZ (Discovery), SimonBestia (Recording))

The script is always checking if the player is inside the mat and if they're not, they're immediately reset back to the middle of the mat, among other things.
One such thing is a 13-second countdown after one second has passed since leaving it, which is impossible due to the aforementioned reset.
This will be displayed on-screen, along with a warning, once only 10 seconds are left. The class is failed once the countdown reaches 0.

Persistently trying to leave via modding allows seeing this code in action, thanks to the resetting function taking some time to execute completely.

C3.DAT contains:

• A second spawn point for the player.
• A second spawn point for the opponent.
• A spawn point for Mr. Burton.

• 

  C3_PSTART2.

• 

  C3_ESTART2.

• 

  C3_BURTON_THROW.

Art Class

The unused Reversal power-up that is mentioned in the instructions under the name Brush.
It reverses the player's directional input for a few seconds.
It never spawns as the script sets it with a spawn rate of 0.

C5.DAT contains:

• A spawn point for Dr. Crabblesnitch.
• Spawn points for jocks.

• 

  C5_PrincipalStart.

• 

  C5_WorkingOut 1 (left) and 2 (right).

• 

  C5_WorkingOut 3 (left) and 4 (right).

• 

  C5_WorkingOut 5 (left) and 6 (right).

Boxing
Boxing.DAT contains:

• A spawn point for a prep, possibly to start the minigame.
• An eighth spawn point for the cheering crowd.

• 

  Boxing_Giver.

• 

  Boxing_Crowd 8.

Keep-Ups

The script for this minigame gets Jimmy's coordinates when starting it.
If he somehow happens to be near the coordinates meant for the minigame's unused second blip, in Old Bullworth Vale Gardens, it will take place there.

Every coordinate in the minigame with the exception of the camera has an equivalent of it meant for this location.
As the camera doesn't, and as such is still on the school campus, in the video here it is prevented from changing.

Unused Lua Functions

To do: There's more.

BikeAddAttachment

Unknown. Might have been related to the scrapped bike customization system.

BikeSetPadlock

When set to True for a bike, it freezes its state, which also makes the player unable to get on it, as if it was "locked".

LockFPS30

When set to False, it unlocks the framerate of the game.

Breaks some of the in-game Quick Time Events, making them much harder, and speeds up some scripted camera movements. This is technically used after the Boxing minigame, but is set to True, even though it's never set to False to begin with.

PedAttackCar

Makes a specified ped attack a specified car.

PedAttackNearestCar

Similar to the previous one, but doesn't seem to work.

Miscellaneous Unused Content

Camera Presets

Test

An unused camera preset for when riding vehicles.

The camera tends to follow Jimmy from the same perspective, rather than trying to always face his back.

WaterPuzzleCam

An unused camera preset for a top-down perspective meant to be used in Stronghold Assault.

It was scrapped due to a layout change in the map, which can be seen in the strategy guide.
The intended use goes unused in the also-unused Test_4_02.lur script added back in Scholarship Edition.

Chapter Seven

IDs 0-5 are all the used Chapter IDs. Higher values will reset the map to Fall and load Winter-only props as well, which is likely just the default behavior.
However, Switching to ID 6 reveals it was partially programmed, as:

• The "available tasks" menu will display "CHAPTER SEVEN : SUMMER" as the current Chapter.

Timecycle and Weather

The game has a full 24-hour time cycle, even though Jimmy normally passes out at 2 AM and wakes up at only 8 AM. As referenced by unused text, earlier in development Jimmy was supposed to stay up all night and do some odd jobs, much like the Grand Theft Auto games.

It can be seen via a certain glitch (though it cannot be done in the fall season), via modding, or, alternatively, via the following codes that prevent you from passing out at 2 AM.

EUR	2020215C 10000029
JPN	2020225C 10000029
USA	20201C6C 10000029

Additionally, while not unused, the Hurricane weather can only be seen during the Snow Shoveling minigame in Chapter III, with snow. Its rainy variation is never seen.

All Chapters' timecycles and weather variations:

Chapter I

Chapter II

Chapter III

Chapter IV

Chapter V

Chapter 6

(Codes: Edness)

Effects

EtherCloud

Unknown.
Probably related to mentions of ether in various unused quotes for Finding Johnny Vincent.

FruitStand

Unknown.

GraffitiGone

Unknown.
Possibly meant for the Graffiti Clean-up minigame.

GraffitiRemoval

Unknown.
Possibly meant for the Graffiti Clean-up minigame.

LawnmowerGrass

Unknown.
Possibly meant to be attached to the lawnmower while mowing grass, judging by the name.

Glow FX

effects.dat in the game's Config folder contains Glow Effects settings for some of the Areas, but the following have their "ON" flag set to 0.
Setting them to 1 will enable them:

School_Hallways	Pool	Girls_Dorm
By the side windows, on each floor. (Broken, as it turns off depending on the camera)	In both washrooms.	In the bathroom.

Additionally, there are settings meant for the scrapped Boys' Dorm's bathroom and the removed Island 3 Area.

Green Corona

ID 12 is an unused green version of the ground marker/corona.

This was likely meant for the Jobs, but those recycle the minigames' blue corona, instead.

Snowmen

The 14 snowmen that spawn at the beginning of Chapter III are listed along with the other collectibles in Collectibles.DAT as "_COLLECTIBLE_SNOWMAN".

They might have been meant to be destroyed for a reward.

Car Passenger(s)

To do: There might be more to this so expand on it.

Peds can enter a vehicle from the right side and be in a unique passenger state that is normally unused.

It doesn't seem possible for a ped to enter a car as a passenger if the driver is already in, but action nodes can be used to change the driver's state to passenger and have another ped get in as the driver.

All taxicab seats occupied.

Additionally, the game allows for up to two more peds located on the back seats, though they are located too close to each other.
Results vary depending on the vehicle.

Replayable Errands

Scenarios.lur, the script which handles errands, sets a "repeatable" variable, for each errand, to false.
Changing it to true allows the errand to become available again whenever possible.

This implies the developers planned to create repeatable errands.

Stats Menu Scrolling

The Stats section of the menu is scripted via Lua and supports up to 7 more categories (before the game crashes).
Adding more than the current 5 will also display D-Pad icons corresponding to how you can scroll.

This is likely a shared logic across the whole menu, but no page has more than 5 categories to show it.

Christmas Ambience

Several .DAT files responsible for setting ambience music to areas also account for a Christmas variation for Winter.
However, the default music is set to play in every season (PSFRW), including Winter, whereas the Christmas variation is set to play during "X", which doesn't seem to be valid.

Texture Oddities

druglbl

This texture belongs to the medicine Jimmy gives to the hobo Handy during an Errand. While used, the text on it is not able to be seen clearly:

143933857-12x QTY: 90 480MG Methemphatamine Take when unhappy, bored with life Or just to fit in and be cool. James Indago Refill 20 of 20 Dr. Wilbur Brunum Refill after 10-15-2005

gamedude

There is an early screenshot displayed on the Game Boy knockoff in the Nerds' Hideout, albeit in a very low resolution. Details like a slightly earlier design of the Bullworth students and the old walking style can be seen here. Image has been enlarged for better visibility.

Regional Differences

Europe

The game in European regions is called Canis Canem Edit, so almost all instances of the game's title were changed to match.

Title Screen

US/JP	EU

Intro Screen

US/JP	EU

Loading Icons

US	EU/JP

The icons spell out "B-U-L-L-Y" in the US version, they were replaced with different variations of the Bullworth Academy shield in the European and Japanese versions.

Options

US	EU/JP

An extra option to change language on the fly was added in the misc section of the Options menu. This did not carry over to Scholarship Edition.

Japan

English Class

On the Japanese version, the player needs a much lower score (15% vs. 56%) to pass English class.

This was likely made to make it easier for players who have more limited knowledge of English.

Other Changes

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: Different PAL/NTSC standards affect QTEs timing and other things as they're tied to the framerate. This needs more investigation. (Perhaps it better classifies as an oversight rather than a regional difference?)

Shop Class' bike wheel-turning Quick Time Events seem to have slightly better stick controls compared to the American and European versions of the game.
