If this is not the place, feel free to move it.

For a long time now, I've been working on the text files of the Mata Nui Online Game, turning them completely upside down, so to speak. Now I present you with the results... a funny, humoristic version of the Mata Nui Online Game, filled with awesome characters and moments of great laughter!
 

Download updated once again!

 

If you choose only to download the text files, you should copy the downloaded MNOG to another folder where you can replace the text files with the funny ones. Just so you won't lose the originals.

You can download the Mata Nui Online Game itself from BOGA (Bionicle Online Game Archive) or Biomedia Project

Here are some screenshots:
One, Two, Three

This funny version of the game is part of a larger project called Crazy Chronicles. If you like the comedic MNOG, be sure to check out the bigger project as well for more fun!

I'm not sure what forum this belongs in at all, it could be games, comics, comedies maybe, I don't know.

But it's cool, it must have taken a lot of hard work. I might have a look through all the text if I can find the time.

Is it only major dialogue that has been editted, or minor dialogue as well, for example the merchants in Onu-Koro who just have speech bubbles when you click on them?

[Indigo Individual]

Just so that you know, the second site that you linked is working on getting forums, and as staff on it I have to request that you remove the link, because although we don't have forums yet we're already removing all the links from BZP.
But I'll download it when I can and take a look through all the text, as Taipu said you must've put a lot of work into it.

@Taipu: Both major and minor texts have been edited. The only thing I have not been able to edit are the cutscened, unfortunately.

@Vorex: Do you mean Biomedia Project?

Thanks. When you get the time to test out the game, feel free to post feedback and tell me how you liked it.

[Spinjitzu Master]

I do find this interesting. I was trying to figure out how to edit their speech for ages before I just gave up.

[bonesiii]

Sorry but General Art is definately not the place for this. We do allow edits, so I can see how you'd think so, but what you altered is code, not editing pixels in an art program. That leaves Digital Discussion or Fan-Created Games. Editing an existing image is considered fan-made art, therefore editing an existing game should be fan-made game, not digital discussion.

So moving it to FCG.

[rahkshi guurahk]

THis is so funny! (please check your pm.)

[Toa of Geek]

This is hilarious! Your other crazy chronicles works are great, but this is my favorite.

[Toatapio Nuva]

Thank you for the comments. It took a long time and lots of work to complete this project and I'm glad to hear it was worth it.

[maxthethrax]

Hey,Toatapio nuva,can you make other games like this?

[ReckoningReckoner]

Wow. You put a lot of work into this. I'm going to have some fun with this now.

[Angrok Va Mata]

I can't get the game. Says it's unavailible.
You should really try mediafile.com instead.

I couldn't either. And I was really looking forward to this. Please try and give us a working link. For the text.

[Geardirector]

I agree, we want a link

[Katoris]

It says the file doesn't exist! I wanted to play this so bad!

[The Danglin' Cellist]

Definitely need a new link. This is a must-see project.

[Matt5327]

MNOG was always my favorite. Hopefully we can all relive it in a unique light soon!

[Geardirector]

At least say something, this wall of silence isn't exactly comforting

[Toatapio Nuva]

Oops, didn't notice all these new posts, sorry.

I don't have the game right now, I get access to it near Christmas. If I don't remember to post a new link then, please someone send me a PM so I remember it.

[maxthethrax]

I have download it a long time ago and i save it.I can give you the codes

And it very cool!

[Toatapio Nuva]

Okay, here are the texts!

 

Download

 

Thank you all for your patience. Enjoy!

[Ultimate Sybre]

So, how do I get the text into the game?

[Toatapio Nuva]

You copy the text files as a bulk and paste them into the game folder which also has a lot of text files. Replace the old ones to make the new text work.

[Geardirector]

Finally got it to work, this is hilarious. The highlight as of now is when you scream AHKMOU at the Comet salesman

[Tren Krom]

The link is broken.

[Toatapio Nuva]

AGAIN?! No way! Ugh, I'm gonna have to update the link again next week. Does anyone know a good file hosting website that doesn't delete the uploaded files after 2 days?

[Toatapio Nuva]

Okay, I once again updated the download link! Should work now for some time.

[Toa Tanidru]

I've downloaded the file but I'm having trouble replacing the old files with the new ones. When I do the text just come up blank in the game.

[Ultimate Sybre]

I don't even know where to edit the text!

[Toa Tanidru]

I still can't get it to work. Can any one help me?

[Toatapio Nuva]

Have you replaced the text or copied it?

[Toa Tanidru]

Replaced.

Well this looks interesting, I'll have to try this out...

Hey Toatapio,
I developed a tool that makes editing the text files much easier and faster, if you have Microsoft Excel on your computer I can PM it to you.

[Toatapio Nuva]

@Toa Tanidru: And it still doesn't work? Hmm, if it has worked for others, I'm not sure what could be wrong. The files end with _eng, right? Also, what offline version of the game are you using? When I rewrote the text, I test played with the official Lego release instead of the fan-made releases. Maybe this makes a difference?

 

@Nuparu77: Haha, yeah, another MNOG-based production. I only edited the text though, while you're completely revamping the game.

 

And I'm actually very interested in your method of editing. I'd like to hear more about it.

(Pardon that quotes don't work on my WiiU)

I'm pretty sure I'm using the official release version. I downloaded it so long ago though I can't remember. I'll try downloading it again and see if they work.


Ok It works now.

I'm curious as to how a different version would effect how the game reads the text files... even adding a save feature, should only have modified the player and not changed the TextSub.swf or MiniSub.swf

lol, yeah us MNOG editors have to stick together, eh?

I cannot seem to send you a message, do you have it turned off or is your inbox full?

[Toatapio Nuva]

@Toa Tanidru: Excellent! Don't forget to tell how you like it after you've gone through it.

 

@Nuparu77: You know what? It was full.

 

But not anymore. You can send the message.

 

And MNOG all the way!

[Takua Dragonstar7]

Really great edit. The conversations were funny, especially when Matau tells you about "cooking birds".

[Toa Tanidru]

I played through it and it was really great! Good job on it! My favorite part was about the curry restaurant .
