    Ok so nothing needs edited but the redirect IP, so what am I doing wrong?

    • Timtech March 8, 2014 @ 4:15 PM

      Nothing, it was my fault. It’s fixed now, however. Remember, servers are usually up between 7 AM and 8 PM EST, but occasional downtime may occur.

  2. HappyAngryCatfish March 7, 2014 @ 2:39 PM

    Changed redirect IP to local host, now it lets me bring the character wheel up. But I get this error ‘Client disconnected: connection failed downloading manifest assets.”

    • Timtech March 8, 2014 @ 10:55 AM

      Change PATCHSERVERIP=0:xxx.xxx.x.xx to PATCHSERVERIP=0:cache.legouniverse.com

      It’s on the FAQ, might want to look at it.

  3. HappyAngryCatfish March 7, 2014 @ 2:58 PM

    Found out the problem all runs well now, thanks!

  4. raffa50 March 7, 2014 @ 3:42 PM

    There is a bug in my Ref that will cause a huge memory leak…
    I won’t release a fix for that…

  5. Dark Knight March 7, 2014 @ 5:49 PM

    Yesterday Robowarrior you said put libmysql in the right place. What do you need to do with the libmysql?

  6. Dark Knight March 7, 2014 @ 6:42 PM

    Okay then. I have successfully done the server setup except with the one alteration for the server loop except that I don’t have the LUNI server.exe application and I don’t know where to get it. It’s not in Debug and redowloading the files doesn’t have it. What should I do.

  7. Dark Knight March 7, 2014 @ 9:16 PM

    Okay I figured out how to get the LUNI Server (It was deleted by my security program), but when it comes up it shows the luni server made out of letters then it goes away without having you do anything. Is that what’s supposed to happen?

  8. yuuy March 8, 2014 @ 4:56 AM

    Why lu.hopto.org is not working yet?

  9. RoboWarrior March 8, 2014 @ 9:18 AM

    Glad to see the server is as it should be 🙂

  10. Thejaakko10 March 8, 2014 @ 9:48 AM

    How do I get on the server?

    • Timtech March 8, 2014 @ 10:35 AM

      Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\LEGO Software\LEGO Universe\client (or wherever the game files are stored) and open “boot.cfg”. Edit AUTHSERVERIP=0:xxx.xxx.x.xx and change it to AUTHSERVERIP=0:lu.hopto.org, and change PATCHSERVERIP=0:xxx.xxx.x.xx to PATCHSERVERIP=0:cache.legouniverse.com

      Open legouniverse.exe, and login with a number 1 through 10 as both the username and the password.

      • Thejaakko10 March 8, 2014 @ 11:41 AM

        When i connect for an example with 11111111 and pass 11111111
        it just says “Connecting to world.” and after that it says something like Enter Nickname/password and then press “Enter”

  11. LUIcarus March 8, 2014 @ 10:15 AM

    It keeps restarting whenever I put in a number.

  12. huddy987 March 8, 2014 @ 10:39 AM

    errrmm…how do I download the mac client? (sorry if this sounds dumb)

  13. Simon Molinié March 8, 2014 @ 10:51 AM

    We absolutely need Ventrilo ?

  14. Simon Molinié March 8, 2014 @ 11:13 AM

    I don’t understand… Cause I’m French… How can I log myself in the game ?

  15. Simon Molinié March 8, 2014 @ 11:20 AM

    Ok I found how to connect but no one works :/ …

  16. Dark Knight March 8, 2014 @ 11:51 AM

    Are we supposed to playing in Server name: Overbuild Universe?

  17. Dark Knight March 8, 2014 @ 1:08 PM

    I watched and followed the server V3 tutorial and it let me log in but it stopped loading at 35%. Plus it was the version without the jet-pack. How do I use the new version?

  18. Simon Molinié March 8, 2014 @ 4:26 PM

    I finally managed to connect to the game! The only problem is that no one even NPC but at least you can walk! This is really the only thing we can do! How could we do to get the NPCs in their place? Gnarled Forest and also on the card is completely devastated! Is this the developers have rotten card before closing the game or is it just a bug in the server? In any case thank you at least allow us to play it again! :’)

  19. Dark Knight March 8, 2014 @ 4:56 PM

    My security system removes LUNI Server because it says it is a security threat. Also, I logged in with it and it loads to 35% and stops.

  20. gamerthaflamer March 8, 2014 @ 5:16 PM

    The server is online but when I log in, it says it cant connect.

  21. RoboWarrior March 8, 2014 @ 5:50 PM

    TimTech you can change the world to anything even racetracks, I know how to do it but can’t find the file

  22. zbzman March 8, 2014 @ 5:56 PM

    umm are there any npc’s ,monsters ,or items?

  23. raffa50 March 9, 2014 @ 6:00 AM

    GPL will take a legal action against you tim!
    Did you received the email form them?
    I’ll see you in court! And you will pay a minimal fee of 2000$.
    Give me the number of your office, thanks
    (I will spent all my money for that, don’t worry)

  24. Simon Molinié March 9, 2014 @ 8:13 AM

    The server is closed ? Maintenance ? 😛

    Can I play if I let AUTHSERVERIP and PATCHSERVERIP on localhost ? Or I need a server like Hamachi ?

  25. Dark Knight March 9, 2014 @ 12:11 PM

    What does Run Debug/LUNI Server.exe
    (with XAMPP running and it should work.) Mean?
    What is debugging it?

  26. yuuy March 9, 2014 @ 12:28 PM

    I can’t login;(

  27. yuuy March 9, 2014 @ 2:06 PM

    Can i make a private server without Visual Studio 2013 Express For Desktop?

  28. Tomas March 9, 2014 @ 5:01 PM

    I downloaded the recommended file but nothing new appears in the program files it only downloads a zip folder called “lu-client-1.10.64.zip” that says it is invalid when I try to open it. What should I do?

    • Dark Knight March 9, 2014 @ 5:42 PM

      The downloaded files appear in the download section not the program files. I don’t think you need to open them to play on his server. What you need to access is the boot.cfg which is in the original game files for Lego universe. In the client folder.

  29. raffa50 March 9, 2014 @ 6:02 PM

    Candidations for LUNI manager are closing soon: https://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/luniserver/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=122

    So finally I will say goodbye to my project and be free! but I won’t drop my legal action against you tim, see you in court! (I’m not a lyar like you, trust me I keep promise… you have seen that right?)

    • Simon Molinié March 9, 2014 @ 9:13 PM

      If I understand correctly, you want to put Tim to court?

    • huddy987 March 9, 2014 @ 9:43 PM

      So raf…. you are suing tim??? For what??? Are you gunna say “this bad man stole the game I stole from Lego”? Lol….

  30. Dark Knight March 9, 2014 @ 7:35 PM

    So should I disable my security system on the files and redownload them? Would that work?

  31. Marksman77 March 9, 2014 @ 7:38 PM

    I downloaded the recommended zip files and installed the game but when i open it a message pops up and says “Error we are unable to download Lego Universe. Please check your internet connection or go to http://www.legouniverse.com for troubleshooting.” I also could not find the boot.cfg file or the /client folder to change the file.

  32. Dark Knight March 9, 2014 @ 9:26 PM

    I know this has come up before, but how do you register a username on a local server when it says its not authenticated?

  33. huddy987 March 9, 2014 @ 10:06 PM

    Hey Tim,

    sorry to bother you again. I just had 2 questions.

    1. How will this project continue? Will the new LUNI leader and team be working with you?

    2. If any help is needed with the mac client I can give a shot at improving it (I only know a tiny bit of Java but Have played around with files quite a bit)

  34. Simon Molinié March 10, 2014 @ 12:30 PM

    Is it will soon be possible to create our own character? I know that the server is not finished but could you inform us of the progress of the server tutorial or a comment?

    What you are trying to improve in time? Maybe I’ll be a story about your beautiful work! 🙂

  35. raffa50 March 10, 2014 @ 1:58 PM

    Here it is the voting poll let’s vote the new LUNI project manager!

  36. Eliz/Gillis March 10, 2014 @ 2:50 PM

    We performed the miracle of downloading LU and getting it running. Kid was overjoyed. I can’t personally thank you enough. Lot of “Mom Rules!” points. However, at the moment, we get “Sorry! We could not sign you in to Lego Universe.” Your update above has said there were only 3 or 4 people on. What should we try?

    • Timtech March 10, 2014 @ 5:03 PM

      I’m glad your child is happy. Unfortunately, our network provider was experiencing difficulties. The manual server status did not update as a result of this abrupt disconnection, and it displayed a false positive. This is the reason you were not signed in. However, if you try back later today or another day when it shows uptime it should work. If you have any more questions or problems feel free to let me know!

  37. HAMSTERFURY2000 March 10, 2014 @ 3:33 PM

    Every time I try to log in it says “Sorry we could not sign you into LEGO Universe. Please try again in a couple of minutes.” I thought this was happening because the server was offline but it wasn’t! Please help! Thanks

  38. Marksman77 March 10, 2014 @ 4:01 PM

    I can open the file now and get to the main menu but I can’t log in. I tried all numbers 1-9 using the same number for my username and password. I changed the things the instructions told me to but I just used wordpad to change them. If I need a specific program to change them properly please provide a link.

    • Timtech March 10, 2014 @ 5:05 PM

      Wordpad is fine, it was the network provider that had the downtime. I apologize! Now that it is resolved, you should be able to connect.

  39. RoboWarrior March 10, 2014 @ 4:05 PM

    Lol! Tim do I see battlefield 1942 in the background! I got that game for free of origin!

    • Timtech March 10, 2014 @ 5:05 PM

      Same here 🙂 I actually have two copies; only one is from Origin.

      • ElizGillis March 10, 2014 @ 5:33 PM

        We were successful this morning, but this afternoon we only see, “Sorry… We could not sign you in to Lego Universe.” We’ve tried all the numbers (1-9)… Any ideas?

      • RoboWarrior March 10, 2014 @ 6:54 PM

        I thought I was the only one playing that game, 🙂

  40. Austin March 10, 2014 @ 5:29 PM

    how long do you think till there are enemies to fight in the worlds?

    • RoboWarrior March 10, 2014 @ 6:55 PM

      Please don’t ask these questions, don’t get illusions about the progress, maybe a week, maybe a year, who knows

      • HappyAngryCatfish March 10, 2014 @ 7:18 PM

        RoboWarrior, quite honestly don’t go advertising what Tim is doing then when people ask these questions reject them. Seriously if you don’t want these questions asked stop bragging it up.

        • RoboWarrior March 10, 2014 @ 7:46 PM

          Bragging it up, what are talking about! I am NOT advertising what Tim is doing, how DARE you even assume that! I am simply saying what Tim and the people on LUNI would want me to say ! We don’t want people having illusions! And Tim has already told one hundred people he is having internet trouble! I thought I would saving him the trouble of typing! But gosh, I really was not expecting to have some “hang up” by someone who has NO RIGHT to judge!

          • HappyAngryCatfish March 10, 2014 @ 10:43 PM

            Having illusions? You have those people on the LEGO Message Boards illusions with your signature “I have played full LU in 2014!” Tell me that is not giving illusions. Please don’t take offense to this, but it annoys me that you take authority and tell this guy not to ask those questions, when sigs like that give the illusion to him.

          • Tristan March 11, 2014 @ 2:12 AM

            Calm down… This project is about helping eachother and NOT fighting. Sorry if anyone is dissapointed. 😉

          • HappyAngryCatfish March 11, 2014 @ 12:00 PM

            I don’t mean to start an arguement, but he brings these people here and won’t answer there questions. Because he doesn’t want to give ‘illusions’ yet he tells people he’s played FULL LU IN 2014. Just answer the questions these people have if you want to advertise that.

          • RoboWarrior March 11, 2014 @ 3:21 PM

            Oh shut it, I been here longer than you have, and I put that in my sig a llooonnngg time ago, when a was new, have not been on the LMBs much since then, as I said NO RIGHT to judge, so help answering questions and helping on LUNI ( I would recommend making an account, and helping if you have not yet.) or stop making petty comments!

          • RoboWarrior March 11, 2014 @ 3:22 PM

            I have tried to change my sig recently, LEGO does not allow it

          • HappyAngryCatfish March 11, 2014 @ 3:36 PM

            I’m not judging you. I’m saying don’t advertise and brag about it then when a guy asks questions like these then you tell him off, your being a hypocrit.

          • RoboWarrior March 11, 2014 @ 4:32 PM

            I don’t brag, bragging is when you win something, and you make fun of someone because of it, I am not being a hypocrit, I had posted that on LMBs like months ago, and actually, you are being a bit a hypocrit and a anti-modernist by living in the past.
            Period, don’t reply, I felt I was being a bit harsh before, but I don’t like being accused.

          • HappyAngryCatfish March 11, 2014 @ 4:44 PM

            Living in the past? This whole project is living in the past. Please note I am not hating on this project, I really like this project, but if you bring up living in the past, we’ll guess what, we all are. And maybe you didn’t intend to brag, maybe you don’t see it as bragging, but we all have our opinions, I saw it as bragging, maybe no one else did, but I did. I will happily end this debate if you would welcome the questions you brought upon this site. 🙂

          • RoboWarrior March 11, 2014 @ 5:38 PM

            Didn’t you notice the “Period” at the end?
            Jking, Oh….. I kinda doubt anyone actually on the LMBs found their way here,but yeah, I guess its all opinions, but I have learned from my own mistakes, and that’s why I tell the true answer to a question like this……. I understand that your saying I gave the illusion, which could be true… But I have already sprayed water on that flame.

          • RoboWarrior March 11, 2014 @ 5:42 PM

            And I was told this answer when I asked this question. I wish enemies could come sooner it will
            🙁
            This project is better than LMO though

  41. ElizGillis March 10, 2014 @ 5:32 PM

    How did you get in? We were successful this morning, but this afternoon we only see, “Sorry… We could not sign you in to Lego Universe.”

  42. huddy987 March 10, 2014 @ 8:48 PM

    Hey tim,

    The lego universe mac launcher appears to be corrupt. I cannot use the patcher, as when I try to patch it just says “cannot patch, please reinstall”. Nothing else will open other then that because this was coded is c++ which we all know won’t run on Mac. So pretty much there is either a corrupt file, or there is something wrong with the patch server, or something isn’t set up right.

    • Timtech March 11, 2014 @ 8:30 AM

      Shouldn’t you be able to directly launch the game from the client folder?

      • huddy987 March 11, 2014 @ 12:41 PM

        No, it’s in .exe format which only runs in windows. That’s why there is a cider, also known as a wine which translates c++ into a coding program that OSX can read. The only thing I can launch is the cider which says “cannot be patched on this version please reinstall”

        • huddy987 March 11, 2014 @ 5:39 PM

          Please let me know, if you need, I may be able to help by recreating something like the original lego universe cider/wine as I have the disk and it’s installed on my other mac.

  43. yuuy March 11, 2014 @ 5:55 AM

    At the first time i download Visual Studio 2013 Express For Desktop my computer dose’nt let me open everything, i have good luck that i change my Windows from 7 to 8.1 Pro. Can i get help with that? Thanks! 😀

  44. yuuy March 11, 2014 @ 12:54 PM

    What did you mean?

  46. Malkazar March 11, 2014 @ 2:21 PM

    It says 4 people are playing and its online but then it says i cant login into lego universe right now and i have no clue how to make my own server

    • Malkazar March 11, 2014 @ 2:57 PM

      *it just says connecting to authentication……getting really frustrated please help me someone???

      • RoboWarrior March 11, 2014 @ 3:24 PM

        internet trouble probably, not sure, just check back later

      • Tristan March 11, 2014 @ 4:00 PM

        Hi, if you navigate to Video Games =» Lego Universe =» Lego Universe Private Server Setup, there should be a tutorial there.
        Regarding the 4/8 and won’t connect problem, have you followed all steps above?
        Cheers,
        Tristan 🙂

      • Timtech March 11, 2014 @ 5:55 PM

        Have you set your redirect_ip to lu.hopto.org

  47. HappyAngryCatfish March 11, 2014 @ 3:38 PM

    Just a question about the luni site, the site asks all this stuff about amount of employees when you make an account, is there another way to make one?

  48. marksman77 March 11, 2014 @ 4:29 PM

    I am still having trouble connecting. I enter the username and password (numbers 1-9) and it always says “sorry not able to connect to Lego Universe, try again later” I have been having this problem for two days now and have not been able to play at all.

  49. Simon Molinié March 11, 2014 @ 4:50 PM

    I can’t create my own server :'(… Is it possible to create a “Server Creator” Like the same on Minecraft and change properties or something like that ?

  50. Brandon March 11, 2014 @ 7:01 PM

    I have followed all of your instructions on how to launch the LUNI Server but when I launch it, it says MySql disabled. Do you know how to fix? Thanks! 🙂
