Anyone still interesting in Metru Nui Online?

I've taken up my Metru Nui Online series again, and I've been making some progress.  Last time I was here about Menol, I was asking if anyone was working on an offline version.  Since then, has anyone compiled anything?  I found a link to all the cutscenes, be warned, spoilers ahead.

I love this game. A sequel would be awesome! (Although it should probably not use Flash.) I knew there was a version before the current one, but I'd never seen it before, thanks for sharing it! Was the original version ever finished, or was it just Po-Metru and the Coliseum?
 
For those interested it was developed by Tula and -Takua-. Unfortunately neither of them are active here anymore. But SPIRIT and Gatanui were both beta testers I believe, so they may have info.

Really cool seeing that MeNOL prototype! I'm surprised they dropped that intro animation, it's pretty nice. 

 

I'd love to see an offline version so we could know the game won't be lost someday, but in the meantime it's a real testament to -Takua- and Tula that it's still online and accessible to this day.

believe victims. its actually not that hard, and youd look kind of bad if you were to, say, side with an abuser because theyre your friend

Also, hey, sorry for the double-post, but while we're here talking about this game, does anyone remember how to get past the Vahki guarding the Archives? Just trying to shoot it isn't working and I can't remember if there was something else you need to do to distract it or something. It's been forever since I played through this game.

Interesting, this is the older version of the MeNOL. I remember playing it long ago when it came out, before they made the new and improved version. The old version was fun, but in terms of mechanics very difficult to play. It seems they only finished chapter 1 in this version, I wonder how the rest would've turned out...

 

It's amazing that the files are still online, haven't seen this stuff in years. Great find!

If you mean to ask if we are still interested in seeing this game reach completion, you absolutely have my support. I remember playing this game many moons ago. I was never terribly good at it but the atmosphere and writing was really engrossing for a fan game. Bring it on!

I've never even heard of Metru Nui OG, and I've been on here for years! :o  Can anyone educate me on what this is? Is there a download for this game?

I have the same questions. Anyone have answers please?

 

 

Metru Nui OnLine (MeNOL) is a fanmade game by -Takua- and Tula. It's like MNOG2 but takes place in Metru Nui before the Great Cataclysm. Here's the link.

While not a working offline version, partly because all the php files can only be called and not accessed, I have managed to use datamining and web archive indexing to find almost every file from www.menol.org. All the SWFs and XMLs should be there, so at the very least one can view all the cutscenes and locales, and I have maintained the website's folder structure. I've collected them all into a 7z archive here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/0p6cc0k6ou75kq7/menol.org.7z

Thank you for posting that, sorry for such a late reply, I'm not very active with forums.  Thank you for recovering what you have, Toa of Mirrors!

It is, I was just asking if anyone could cache the files similar to how the Biomedia project did with the Mata Nui Online game series, for archival purposes, as I would hate to see the game just disappear at some point.
