Welcome to the LEGO Universe, newly imagined (LUNI) server project.
We’ve moved to LUNIServer.com. You can expect us to be moving there, since there are forums, tutorials, and lots of help.

Is the survey so you can decide which island to open?
For the moment is it for fun. Probably after.
Yes, right now it is just for fun. However, it looks like Nexus Tower is a worthy goal 🙂
Yes, because this is the world where there is the most space, where there is all the factions and then more fun with boosters and green scanner input Sentinel / paradox
Avant Gardens would be fun…enemies… 😀
You told me to change world use Hex editor ( neo) on char_aw2 and I don’t know what to edit….. what do I edit???
Please reply, both char_aw2 are just #s (that a number sign, not a freakin’ hashtag!) Can’t make much sense out of it, Need a reply!
You need to edit the eighth and ninth bytes of the file (should be e3 04 by default). There is a list of world IDs here.
I will try…. might need help soon though
Hey Tim, please let me know how to proceed with uploading the mac files. My Skype name is huddy987 if you would like to talk privately.
How big are the files when you compress them as a .zip file?
Hmmmm..so when I open my cd, I get an installer and README.txt. Do you want me to install the macintosh software? or just give you the installer? The installer is just a few MB but i’m sure once I install it’ll be a lot more
Well, you can start with the installer. Make sure you are logged in to your newly approved account, then go to http://timtechsoftware.com/wp-admin/media-new.php to upload files up to 64 MB. For larger files, please let me know.
Ok, the launcher has been uploaded. If you need me to install the game then zip it let me know.
nvm. ill just upload the whole game once it zips
The game zipped exceeds the 64mb. Where can I upload this?
Is it under 500 MB?
No. it is 3.86 GB
I have a problem, when I select a character, the loading of the world starts but It lets at 0% ! And 3 mins after, it says : CLIENT DISCONNECTED : CONNECTION FAILED DOWNLOADING MANIFEST ASSETS.
You may not have the pack of .pk files, which measure almost 10 GB. You are then forcing the client to download them from your PATCHSERVERIP, which should be cache.legouniverse.com in your boot.cfg.
The full client has mainly all of these, and is compressed to about 30% the original size (only 3.3 GB). You can download it here.
Tim I need help, I changed the world foler’s char_aw2 to 6c 07 (nexus Tower) but I am getting this crash problem
http://postimg.org/image/bkbod3l6r/
I even changed grungemonkey’s char_aw2 to Nexus tower and still same result
HELP please respond
Please tim I NEED a answer!!!!
Is your PATCHSERVERIP set to cache.legouniverse.com?
yes
I only need to change the world folder, right?
I really need help, Here is all I did,
-All my client stuff is set
– I change char_aw2 only in the /worlds folder
– to the nexus tower “cells”
– then I get the error
Did you do the same thing as me? that might be the problem, please tell me what needs to be solved?
I don’t know why it doesn’t work 🙁
Try on better quality
http://postimg.org/image/bkbod3l6r/full/
I need help!!! How am i port forward ports 1001, 2002, 2003, and 2004?
Find the setting in your router.
In VS 2013 Express for desktop?
No, go on your browser and write 192.168.1.1 and you will find it
And where should i find it?
There will be a tab marked wireless settings, under there, there should be a sub tab called port forwarding. In there are all you settings. You will need to know the IP and the ports for the computer the server is on, and fill them into the settings.
The server says it’s up but I can’t connect what’s up?
So you’ve done all the steps above? Hmm… double check… triple check… quadoprle check… whatever comes after that check…
Yeah… I need to get on with homework. GOD 3DSes KEYBOARDS ARE SO FIDGETY!!!
I’ve logged on his server before. So can be anything wrong with it unless he’s changed something.
It’s probably the fact that occasionally people on the network use internet phones that are given all the bandwidth priority. However, these scenarios are not too common and the server should return after a while.
Yeah Still having the same problem, could you just make a tutorial of how to change worlds?
Yeah, I know how to change worlds, its just not working,odd
You will need other packets for the other worlds.
When are we going to be able to play as our own characters? I really want to be my old guy again… And also when are venders going to be fixed? I really want to buy stuff! And when are enemies coming out?
Sorry for all the questions — I just am so excited to be able to play lego universe massive multiplayer online game again. It was my fav and I am so happy to have it back!
You will never get to play as your old characters, for the rest I don’t know
I will because those are my old characters 🙂 When we get the server working, people can just rebuild their old characters from memory. I plan on making new ones too.
Sorry, but this server is largely incomplete, and is very likely to be missing lots of features from the original server. I’m glad you’re excited, however.
1. You will never be able to play as your old character, because that data was removed along with the official servers.
2. Vendors may not be implemented for a while.
3. Enemies are a possibility, but a Replica Manager must be implemented before they can be added.
Thanks for understanding!
I have a correction to make to one of my questions i meant can we ever play as our own charter i mean can we all be different people then the same 4.
Well, after character creation is implemented, yes. Until then, no. It may be a while before character creation is added.
Tim, will re-downloading the client possibly fix that problem? I am kinda confused why this is happening only to me….
When I try it, it still loads Nimbus Isle.
Huh…..Odd
change gurngemonkey’s char to the world that will do something
Hmm, my Visual Studio 2013 expired 🙁
Anyway, I see raffa deleted your question on the forums. I guess he doesn’t use the forums anymore…
I believe that was Neal, because he said that is asking for support…. I think they really need a Qand A section
Just log into visual studios with a microsoft account, it works
Hey Tim not sure if you saw my earlier post. The game zipped is 3.86 GB. How should I upload it?
Sorry for missing your earlier post; you should upload it with File Transfer Protocol. Is it okay if I send you an email with the username and password?
Also, is this the Beta client?
Yes it’s ok, and I’m not sure if it’s beta. It was the version that came from the disk.
For Mac, correct? Or is it both?
for mac.
I sent the email to you 🙂
When you play the game is there already items/progress earned?
I want to have my own player and earn items and pick a faction.
Yes, items and progress are already earned. Sorry.
When do you think the character creation will start?
This may take some time, as you have to have all the different assets and 3d views. Plus, TimTech would have to allow registration so you can keep your character safe.
@TimTech – Do you know what software LU used to model assets?
No, I heard it was something similar to LDD using some type of XML but I’m not sure.
I have a problem with login, that says: We have no record of that nickname or password you entered was incorrect. HELP!!!!
Log in with a number 1 through 9 as both username and password.
It also dose’nt work
;(
If you fix that error, would you please notify me, I have been trying to work 24/7 on it but no luck 🙁
Me too 🙁
I actually did get in into Nexus Tower, but now its just showing that error again
Yeah TimTech please fix that error
@TimTech, this should help for you to at least not travel to Nimbus Isle, all credit goes to pwjones 🙂
http://www.mediafire.com/download/haooqr9lp7cw8w2/decrypted_captures.zip
(Put it beside the LUNI server folder)
Hey Tim would it be ok if I just uploaded it to media fire?
Go ahead and do that, unless he wants a different way… If you don’t have a mediafire account, it takes time to sign up and you must have a valid email address.
Sure thing!
Wow. I don’t know if y’all even remeber me, but I haven’t been here in a long time, because of all circumstances, but your work has been phenominal, and I applaud all of your hard work. 🙂 Long Live Imagination!!!
I must agree, the progress here and the LUNI forums has been great! Though I do wish to constant conflict between Raffa505 and TimTech would be put to an end
If you’ve noticed, there’s no conflict anymore. I informed raffa that if he continued with his DMCA nonsense he would have to swear, under penalty of perjury, that the server was under his copyright. However, he had it under the General Public License. So he stopped.
Great! That was so dumb.
Yeah, I don’t think he understood how DMCA worked.
I need HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My skype: ilananan
Okay; we can talk later today.
I will sumbit my DCMA soon and also to google you site will disapper form search engines be sure…
Before you can do this, you must remember to include these things in your DMCA:
– Your name, address, and electronic signature.
– The infringing materials and their Internet location, or if the service provider is an “information location tool” such as a search engine, the reference or link to the infringing materials.
– Sufficient information to identify the copyrighted works.
– A statement by you that you a good faith belief that there is no legal basis for the use of the materials complained of.
– A statement of the accuracy of the notice and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on the behalf of the owner.
That means you must have a copyright on the work, which you do not. See the General Public License for more information.
Also, if proved that you misrepresented your claim regarding the infringing material, you become liable to TimTech Software, the Online Server Provider, for any damages that resulted from improper removal of the content.

This is a lyar, we don’t say that we have a LEGO private server, our files are only for making a general MMO (read rules and what does luni means), you are using that ilegally, and our things are closed source.
Closed source. Right…
http://www.mediafire.com/download/8zdekheaqm9181w/luniserver-code-32e1d0db8e5c18a762d23f3bc35afdb31f60d9c2+-+Copy.zip
Uploaded by the developers themselves.
nope you or robot warrior have uploaded it!
you can’t prove that!
however I sent DCMA to google, I’ll write a copy for you when I have time… (maybe tomorrow)
Sorry raffa, you can’t do a DMCA for something that is under GPL.
NO! SUtil is closed SOURCE!!!
It’s protected by Italy’s laws… read them on wikipedia!
YOU ARE A THEFT, YOU ROBBED THE SOURCE and uploaded it on mediafire!
SUtil is also under GPL.
I did not rob your open-source project before you closed it; that was uploaded by one of the developers.
Okay, so I have downloaded the Client onto my windows PC, made the required changes (AUTHSERVERIP, PATCHSERVERIP) to boot.cfg with vim, but after I launch the “legouniverse” program, it doesn’t let me log in. The instructions that you have up there say to log in “with a number 1 through 9” as both username and password, and if you can’t log on then the server may be temporarily offline. It is 4:31 eastern where I am right now on March 17th, and it says in green text that the server is online, but no matter what I try, be it “123456789,” “1”, “2”, or any other numbers in between 1 and 9, I can’t log in. I am presuming that I am logging in incorrectly, could you help me with my issue? Many Thanks! 🙂
TL;DR: Edited the files, but having trouble logging in, could you help explain what to do to long in. Thanks!
You must use 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. as both your username and password. Like, 1 and 1, or 2 and 2. I presume that this is what you are doing.
What is the error message you get?
Yeah that’s what I’m doing.
The error says
“Sorry we could not sign you in to LEGO Universe,
please try again in a few minutes”
-Thanks for the quick reply
Are you sure you have the auth server IP right?
AUTHSERVERIP=0:lu.hopto.org
I double checked, and saw that I had 0:lu.hopto.org with a zero for that first “o.” I thought I had the solution to my problem, but when I changed it, no such luck. Still having the same issue.
It is a zero. Try with a zero again please 🙂
In reply to “It is a zero. Try with a zero again please”:
I set it back to a zero, and it is still not working.
I am starting to get the suspicion that the problem might be the DNS settings that my Dad has in place on our wifi. I will talk to him as soon as possible to find out if that is the problem. Thank you for all the help with everything, but is there anything else that I could do?
Not really. I’m not sure what is causing the problem.
Raffa has taken the LUNI server Off-air, unbelievable.
I’m banned from his forums (again). What you mean by that? He took the repository down? Or is he trying to DoS the server?
The forums no longer are in existence, the website no longer comes up with the forums
Is it just a blank white page? That means you are banned. Try from a different IP, not logged in.
Wow, raffa won his own poll (hidden view for banned people).
Wonder why they would ban me…
I’m not trusting that poll too much, even though I placed a vote for raffa I’d like to see the usernames of all the voters, it seems quite easy to make dupe accounts and vote.
HappyAngry? Are in development? If so, could you keep everyone updated on this site?
As much as I’d like to be, I’m not on their development team. I was just speculating.
I’m pretty sure Raffa made at least one fake account to place a vote for himself (see latest members, new user “realflamexen”, same name raffa previously used here, joined shortly before the vote closed).
Not sure if he used other accounts as well but its very likely. Though to be fair, enough people did vote for him to get him close to first place.
I opened it and it worked fine until the login page. I tried all sorts of numbers but it just kept saying Sorry! We could not sign you in to Lego Universe.
Try username 3 and password 3.
It just keeps saying we can’t log you in. I did download the latest server and everything so shouldn’t it be fine?
Am I supposed to run it through LEGO Universe or legouniverse.exe because whenever I bring LEGO Universe up it says “we are unable to download LEGO Universe”
LEGO Universe\client\legouniverse.exe
Hi tim i still need help with the server setup here…. You can help me?
hi I have a problem and although I have downloaded everything completely and started only when I’m at the login screen I do not know how to log in?
ürgent can someone help me? 🙁
Make sure you are launching the correct file.
When I try going to Gnarled Forest it says “Client disconnected:connection failed downloading manifest assets.” how do I fix that?
Q: My client says “Failed downloading manifest assets”
A: In client/boot.cfg edit PATCHSERVERIP=0:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx to PATCHSERVERIP=0:cache.legouniverse.com
Thanks RoboWarrior 🙂
There is a small Q&A here – http://timtechsoftware.com/?page_id=1452
Thats what I clicked but every time I try to login the login screen says it can’t log me in.
Thank me? Thank you. You are the one who made it 🙂
Tim I need to contact you via anything other than this website, I don’t know if I get still PM you or I would try email, but it may be urgent
Not like Bleeding urgent, but possibly on a need to know basses
Email me. (timothy@timtechsoftware.com)
I wonder if I head down to a coffee shop + Wi-Fi + new email = Back in LUNIserver businesses? Get this I headed to a library I live by and the website banned my whole area!
Why do our comments need moderated all of a sudden? Really slow now.
Weird didn’t happen to this one, but happened to the one above it says it needs moderated.
Ok I got it working, thanks. Will this game soon support character customization or will it remain like this forever.
It will remain like this for a while.
Hey if I find the necessary files of the character customization in my other computer I’ll be sure to send them to you you.
Most likely you won’t LEGO stored almost all data on their servers AND destroyed the game with the final patch
That is true. Still, if you have any useful files, feel free to share them.
Its kinda of funny how a Toy making company can be more tight on security than some governments!
I wouldn’t really say that; they are allowing this server, you know.
True enough, but even though it’s closed they still won’t leak a tiny piece of info
I still think the cache has some hidden files (cache.legouniverse.com)
You might wanna check this out…
http://www.raknet.net/raknet/manual/replicamanager3.html
You are awesome
I downloaded the client, followed the tutorial, opened the .exe file and I got to the login screen fine but I couldn’t log in,
the exact words were:
Sorry!
We could not sign you in to LEGO Universe.
Try again in a few minutes.
I used all the numbers, a random combination and even my own account but nothing worked, It clearly stated on the website that it was onlin and there were 4/9 players online, any ideas of what could be wrong?
Make sure that AUTHSERVERIP=0:lu.hopto.org
It is, still doesn’t work
I NEED HELP ON SERVER SETUP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My skype: ilananan
will this make my computer go slow in anyway
How much RAM and HDD space do you have? How much space is free?
Yes, please provide the amount of RAM and free disk space you have left. Also note that this will not take up your RAM when it is not running, so there should be no irreversible damage or anything like that.
will this make my computer go slow
N.E.V.E.R ! 🙂
Can You Make a Compiled Version Plz, Because I Use Windows XP 🙁
Are you aware that support is ending for xp? Get something like ubuntu or windows 7 if it’s quite good processor and HDD, or tinycorelinux.
it is compiled
I have downloaded” legouniverse server 0.5″ on my windows PC, made the required changes (AUTHSERVERIP, PATCHSERVERIP) to boot.cfg, but when i try to open legouniverse i’ve an error:
“we are unable to download legouniverse please check your connection or go to http://www.legouniverse.com for trouble shooting”
but my interner connection it’s ok…I don’t know how can I do…
Thanks…
when i try to log in it says it has no record. do I need a lego ID?
Yes ID : 1
Pass : 1
So that’s what where supposed to login in with
Any number 1 through 9 should work, as long as it’s the same for both username and password.
Hey, my Mediafire is close to full, I’m emptying it of EVERYTHING so the download won’t work, until Tim will get it back ( if he has not already( he is pretty fast w/ this stuff) Sorry about the delay
I can re-upload the file to this site if you want.
That would be great, thanks
I’ve seen the sever has been down for a while now – what’s going on?
Nothing, ether Tim’s is working on it, or relaxing, you gotta give the dude a break once in while Y’know?
tim can i have the link to server v4 plz
It’s alias “Nimbus Station” – http://timtechsoftware.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/NimbusStation.zip
thank you tim
or can you give me a download of server v5 already updated and so i dont have to do any of the instuctions if you can plz
You will always have to follow instructions, It’s not as hard as it seems
I know but server v5 is hard I just need server v4 it could be more easy than server v5 cause its just hard
I tryed the instructions but it would be more easier if tim jusy made a video about server v5 so tim you should make a video if you can it could make more sense
tim i think i have a problem you see i have two boot configs one is boot and the other is boot.cfg do i have to get rid of one of them there in my lego Software folder
DON’T GET RID OFF THEM, only use boot not boot bak
thanks for the comment
tim is there a way i can talk to you private plz
I’ve posted this before but you just told me to edit the server ip but I said that I had already done that but you didnt reply so I’m posting this again:
I downloaded the client, followed the tutorial, opened the .exe file and I got to the login screen fine but I couldn’t log in,

do you know boot.cfg well then theres two of them 1 is boot and the other one is boot.cfg well then update boot and make sure you do auth server right
watch this video if you have more problems https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjNtxCfKxoA&feature=youtu.be
Hello, I was wondering, how far are you going to take this project exactly? For now, provided there are no enemies, there’s not much you can do besides walk around. According to the Luni Server Forums, it looks as if character creation is in the near future, though, provided your servers keep track of PlayerData. You noted potentially you could bring enemies back? Also, do you know anything about the event of the server shutdown, -I mean, do you honestly think Lego deleted all of the LU data, that sounds fairly unlikely, that they would spend years making a game then delete its’ player data, do you think they may have lied? Furthermore, should this project restore LU completely (hypothetically, in the far, far future), what about updates? What if everyone suddenly gets bored of playing the same thing? Sorry for the relatively long post, I have so many questions as this revival project looks promising and started relatively recently, keep up the good work.
It’s gonna be a LONG time, but hopefully we will be close to done by this time of next year
1. We will take this project as far as we can.
2. I have already implemented storing PlayerData but I don’t know how to feed it back into the world packets.
3. I really don’t know much about the shutdown, but I am 99% positive that the server was not deleted. However, there’s a good chance that it’s not available for download anywhere on the Internet (cache.legouniverse.com is pretty much the only interesting site I can imagine any server files would be stored).
4. Updates? I don’t think so. However, there are many exclusive items supported by the client that were never spawned on the official server. We could use these if we implement spawning in the new server.
5. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!
I have already implemented storing PlayerData
That’s not true you know don’t take credits please this was already done by the LUNI Dev team…
We are now able to create our own character form database but I won’t release the code… so you can’t take credits for that or rob again my work….
if you don’t trust me I will publish photos… just ask…
I’d like to ask you not to post any advertisements or photos here, but rather make your own web page so people can visit you there.
Updates are not going to happen. That involves changing the LEGO Universe client which is LEGO’s property and, well, illegal for us to do. As for gameplay, we could create scripts to spawn other creatures and we could possibly implement some form of PVP. Since multiplayer is not working, we do not know what the client sends to the server when one tries to hit another player.
Everyone possibly getting bored is why LEGO decided to completely shut it down and not leave it open as-is.
Hey Tim-
what username and password do I use? I did the whole “login with a number 1 through 9 as both username and password” but it wouldn’t let me in. Also, in your youtube videos, it shows you logging in with a different username- one with words, too. and a long password. so how does the login work?
Thanks so much!
-dakota
You can try bluehat8 as both username and password, but the problem is that the servers are down right now. You can check the server status right below the video at the top of this page.
tim is there a way i can talk to you private please
