LEGO® Universe

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.

  1. when ever I tried to pick different Character it just brings me to cheeky monkey when i press different Character (this problem is on the server i created) please help.

    • What did you change in the code of your custom server? Also, CheekyMonkey will always be used in the worlds, as he is the only one with decrypted packets. Other characters can only be seen on the character select screen.

      • Uhh i dont know how to create a server and i cant join…help pls and can you tell me the password for the bluehat8 acc from your video cause i dont know what is the password and pls try to reply and thanks

        • Just follow the tutorial on the page… unfortunately you’ll have to wait until after June 17th or so for the server to be revived, because it’ll be down until then. You can still download one for yourself to use, however.

  2. As long as we believe we will win! FOR THE NEXUS FORCES!

  3. but before i used to go on other characters what happened

  4. Gamerthaflamer May 29, 2014 @ 3:14 PM

    So…anyone know someone with decrypted packets? Or are we just screwed?

  5. You told me to help you with the server.
    Is it legal?
    Why did raffa take action?
    Did you do anything?

  6. The LUNI Server team has officially been deleted by raffa505 and is now dead. This server is an independent project and is not affected; however, improving the server is nearly impossible without additional decrypted packets. Additionally, the server will be receiving little to no uptime until around June 17th. I’m very sorry for the inconvenience.

    What the hell Raffa! If your too lazy to take care of your creation, give it to somebody else, now this project is dead, unless we ca get some people to help!

    • Just let the developers own the project 😛

      • i dont get it what you mean by “Just let the developers own the project :P” But just try to get it back on pls i really want to paly lego universe even though i have lego minifgs but so pls try your best TimTech!

        • Well some Italian person “owns” the code for some reason… then he closed it and most of the developers left. There were some private projects like this one based upon it, but officially it is dead.

          It’s like the private server exploded and these are the remains 😛

  7. The LUNI Server team has officially been deleted by raffa505 and is now dead.
    When did this happen? That is news to me. I and a few others are still working on it. I don’t know what raffa is doing.

    • I realize that you and the other developers are still improving the server in private; however, raffa has restricted most of the forums and other public information. I think it’s safe to call it “dead” unless one day it becomes “alive”.

      P.S. Does raffa still have control of your project? He might delete it again…

      • No, he does not control what the other group is doing. I am not sure he deleted anything. He is making people jump through hoops to get access to the code. I wasn’t going to do that so I don’t have access as far as I know. It doesn’t really matter since I think most of his code is worthless. Granted, right now my main contribution has only been providing my packets to the other 2 people involved so I haven’t really provided any good code either 🙂

        • I’m pretty sure that without your packets none of this would have been possible 😀

          • I appreciate the kind thought, but without humanoid24’s cracking of the encryption, my packets would be worthless 🙂 He is the one that got everything going.

          • Right! If I’m not mistaken, the majority of the packets could not be decrypted because you didn’t have the key or something. Correct?

    • Oi, I don’t know if you and the other developers are up for it, but how about breaking away from the LUNI(raffa) since you seem to be doing most of the work

  8. I always had a feeling this server was going to fail somehow, I hoped it wouldn’t happen… But it did 🙁 well, we might just as well try again and see what we get…

    • I emailed him, he said he has paused it because he has exams, it is not dead

      • I wonder if he is still the leader.

        • Idk, but I really want someone to unban us

          • K, so the project is still going but its not ours… or am i just completely wrong?

          • Raffa’s project was never ours. It seems to either be dead, hidden, or hibernating. At any rate, no progress has been made beyond the scope of what is already presented in version 0.5 of this server.

            To be clear, the project on this website is owned by me, but the files were copied from the LUNI Server’s server under the General Public License.

          • A.K.A: You stole the files and re-produced them without permission, even knowing he didn’t want them outside.

            But more or less, yes.

          • They were free for anyone to download, I reproduced them with permission of the GPL, and he didn’t start that no copying rule until after I was getting a lot of notice from this.

  9. 2 things: Anyone Know how to change worlds?
    Want to start a decryption team?
    I can decrypt but for this it is hard as heck

  10. triggerhappy552 June 1, 2014 @ 12:10 AM

    So is the project dead? Or is it just down? And why is raffa being so mean? 🙁

  11. jonnylegoboy911 June 1, 2014 @ 5:05 AM

    What is going on with all this talk of stealing from other websites and getting banned, this raffa person and people hiding codes from each other. Someone please explain.

    • Raffa is Italian. He has a bad temper. His forums are located here but they have not received posts for months, even in the developers’ section, which is hidden to most users.

  12. jonnylegoboy911 June 1, 2014 @ 5:06 AM

    I still haven’tgotthe game to work yet though. I think the furthest I got was 60% loading when I left it over night and it crashed in the morning.

  13. Can pls make a server?

  14. gamerthaflamer June 1, 2014 @ 12:55 PM

    So there is hope?

  15. Could I use a Joystick with that?

  16. @Lego king

    If you can get access to his latest code (posing as a developer) and download it, that could be of help. I might be able to implement a few more things. But other than that, not really. I’m pretty much just as developed as he is right now.

  17. EVERYONE! This is not the only way we can keep the magic of LEGO Universe alive! Not only does this allow us to get the game back but also if you follow this link: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/62654/ YOU, YES YOU will be able to buy the LEGO Universe Venture Koi!!!!! Of course that is only if you support! So please all help the project reach 10,000 supporters!

    • If you want to advertise here, you’d better advertise this over there. 😛

      • Sounds good, I support you project and gonna start my own, I have some great minifigs

        • thanks! Are you the user droolpad? Something from a while ago makes me think so. It was droolpad who posted info on this on the lego gallery and because of that I came here.

          Great minifigs? You mean LU ones? I love collecting those, I have the Nexus Astronaut, Bat Lord, Explorien bot suit, the series 2 minifigures who were in LU, even the Robo pod that became paradox robots!

          • I am droolpad, I am also your father….(luke skywalker screaming….lol)

      • Over where? If you mean LEGO IDEAS then you can’t. You’re not allowed to advertise there except with your project but you can’t talk about yours on anyone elses’. Also you can’t even discuss it on the LEGO Gallery! Sorry If you don’t like me posting the link, I will stop if you wish.

        • Just don’t spam it, and you should be fine. Even if you do go overboard, I’ll just silently remove the extra links. Nothing to attract attention, don’t worry.

  18. that was amusingly blunt: “raffa is italian”

    tehehe, anyway, err I’m not sure- How new is 0.5? I may not have downloaded it yet. I’ll just download it now.

  19. “pose as developer”

    Do I detect some espionage?

  20. what a friendly conversation I’ve found here: http://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/luniserver/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=134

    He seems very… crazy. What exactly did you do to deserve being taken to court? Was it just doing this for us? What’s wrong with what you’re doing? Also have you actually been taken to court?

    • No it’s all bark and no bite, Raffa gave Tim a small portion of his work and now wants him to delete it, Tim said no, and raffa tried to hack his computer

      • Tried to hack his computer! That’s pretty bad too!

        • Yeah, it’s illegal, or supposedly is.

          • If it wasn’t for my anti-virus I would have lost my computer. Luckily he wasn’t that smart about it; I just removed the malicious code and I had a server ready for use (server 0.5, in fact). With a few modifications, I had it ready for use by the public 🙂

          • jonnylegoboy911 June 3, 2014 @ 3:27 PM

            so people did put malware in the files!!! It’s not still there now right? How did they do it? And why? Are you saying people like Nealybealy did that? Or just raffa?

            Also I posted a creation about this on the LEGO Gallery. Many were enthusiastic, others had natural worries unfortuantely I also came across a sceptic on the gallery, the rumours got to him first. What evidence do you have to convince people of you’re turstworthiness? They’ll need a bit more convincing I think.

    • He could be classified with a bad temper… I wasn’t taken to court. Basically, he filed DMCA. I knew he would go to any extent of law (he already violated the terms of perjury with the DMCA, so he could keep breaking the law…). Yes, it was just for making this project public, with no violation of the license he assigned (GPL). There’s nothing wrong with what I’m doing; apparently he thinks Italian laws overrule the GPL; they might in Italy, but no chance in the US. Since I refused to file a counter-notice, this page and some others were removed from Google’s search engine, but he is unable to take me to court.

      To conclude, very ill-planned and contributes to a loss in visitors and revenue for me…

      • jonnylegoboy911 June 1, 2014 @ 5:19 PM

        that’s sad and spiteful of him. What’s wrong with making it public! He seems to have made a mountain out of a mole hill! At least he hasn’t the power to bring you any serious trouble!

        • I’d say removal from Google is pretty serious. Now I have to rely on all the people here to spread it by word of mouth. Slower and less widespread 🙁

          • Well the Q&A is still on google…. Just ask or donations to make a counter-whatever

          • yes that is pretty bad. I feel very dumb among computer programmers really- I didn’t know you could be removed from google! Well if you just want people I could help a little! Maybe if you spread the word as much as you can about the Venture Koi https://ideas.lego.com/projects/62654/

            I will spread it to my lego gallery friends that you are doing this! 🙂

          • Johnnylegoboy friend me on LEGO Check out my soon-to-be-creation

          • @Robo If I file a counter-notice, he can legally take me to court. Although he would be violating at least 2 laws that have 10+ year jails, I don’t want to take the time and money (this is where the travel and lawyers’ fees come in) to have a court battle.

            @johnny Well this is LEGO Universe, after all. Just don’t spam your Venture Koi too much 😛 And thanks for telling your friends about this, I’m sure they’ll like it.

          • jonnylegoboy911 June 2, 2014 @ 4:34 PM

            I just posted a creation telling people about this, I hope it gets accepted and that they listen to me! 😀

            Also I keep looking this up and you’re being accused a lot. They say you stole the work done on this project but I think you just continued a public project. Nealybealy who is a famous user I think accused you of something like that. Why aren’t you still cooperating with users who aren’t that raffa guy? Why do they feel you’ve done wrong? Also they say you put malware in the files. Everyone seems to be making it harder for this project to be completed!

          • They were the ones who put malware in the files…

  21. I’m new to this and I don’t know what needs to be decrypted, but is there anything I can do to help?

  22. wait so I need to download visual express 2013? Is there a free version? I saw there was a free trial? If I use that then I don’t pay to keep it longer the game will still work right? I’m assuming I only need it to edit one thing! Oh timtech I pity you with people like me who know nothing about computing coming here and persisting with questions and more questions! Being a Level 42 F2P counts for nothing when faced with coding! XD

    • Visual Studio Express for Desktop 2013 is free. Just install it and you can run the server. I don’t think any editing is even necessary, but if it is, you’ll be able to.

      • jonnylegoboy911 June 2, 2014 @ 3:50 PM

        ok, I was looking at the wrong thing. I found it now but it says my version of windows needs updating for it to work. Instead of updating it can I use an older version of the visual studio express program?

  23. This is just Lego Universe. Why does raffa care so much, it is not even his game!

  24. Is the Lego Universe Private Server Project still being developed?

  25. jonnylegoboy911 June 3, 2014 @ 3:32 PM

    Also what might help a lot is if you tell me what I can say about the extent of the game’s development. I already knew that there was no character customisation but will there be? You should tell me in bullet points or some sort of list form, what you have developed already (eg worlds, gameplay), what you will develop and when you will have those things! That would certainly get them excited as you said you had nimbus station and a couple of other worlds done. I hope we get Avant Gardens next! XD

  26. -Alright I didn’t play the game for awhile just look though files, I recently now played it, I still miss LU, and walk around isn’t really fun, so let’s focus on something that will be fun to do in game.
    A. Add enemies, we need resources, help, and a replica manager, hard to do
    B. Add Racing, should be O.K. We might need a FAT client,

    • lightningblade June 4, 2014 @ 3:32 PM

      C. Stabilise character creation
      D. host MySQL server
      E. Add extensive multiplayer
      F. Add the Ninjago World (my favourite)!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  27. Raffa has given you the codes, attempted to give you a virus! Something bigger is a plot here… I will send in anonymous!

    We need to save Lego Universe, we are inches away from grabbing it out of the caves of hell. As soon as we find out how to decrypt a couple packets all the others will be a piece of cake!

    FOR THE NEXUS, FOR THE OVERBUILD, AND FOR THE UNIVERSE!

  28. Managed to get the client and server working on my PC last night – really impressed – thanks so much! Incidentally, with the latest client download, am I right to run the exe file from the client folder directly without trying to use the installer? It didn’t appear to run the patcher but there is nothing to patch presumably as it is all in the zip file?

    I had always secretly dreamed that someone would revive the game on a freeware basis – OK it’s not officially a “game” as such at the moment, but a taster of what was and is to come!!

    What might Lego’s concerns be with withholding code – loss of revenue is not an issue, child safety (possibly? But can be dealt with by a disclaimer as presently), intellectual rights (but that’s only worth something if it can generate revenue – so might have to be on a non-profit basis), going against the Lego brand/quality/values (but if on small scale and for enthusiasts only, then not an issue?).

    Keep up the effort everyone!

    • Everything was broken with the latest official “update” to the game (the one that broke it), so we had to fix some stuff up. All will you will do with the client is modify client/boot.cfg and launch client/legouniverse.exe.

      About what is to come… I’m really sorry, but the decrypted packets stop here. Unless more information can be discovered, this is really pretty much the end. Much was done, but much is incomplete.

      I think the LEGO Company decided to close it and I don’t think releasing it would cause them anything but problems… especially with so little for them to gain from it.

      We’re keeping up the project… I’ve already checked with the LEGO Company and they told me they could not help, but as long as the project was non-profit and contained certain disclaimers, it could continue.

      • I think we need to stop talkin and start workin’, I mean C’mon I would pay lots of money just to have a someone add enemies

        • So, hire a developer? I could put my skills to use (not too good, but with fluency in many other languages, I’d say I’m a little better than you guys). I don’t think without the packets that any forward progress could be made; I’d just mess around with what’s already built, to optimize it.

          • I thinking of hiring somebody, but they are worried about legal issues…. Yes you have more skill then all of us, but I believe none of us posses the skill to write our own packets

          • You’re right. Talking about it is all we can do 🙂

  29. Gamerthaflamer June 4, 2014 @ 3:04 PM

    So…any good news latly?

    • No, things have slowed down with raffa’s restrictions and such. I’ve decided that this will be a completely independent project from now on, since I know most of the developers are either doing crazy stuff for raffa to get access to the code or doing side projects themselves.

      The server will be maintained, with regular 60% uptime once it comes back, but further developments have been halted with a lack of packets.

      • Sorry tim, but that is the worst idea I’ve heard of(no offense) but we NEED to work together and then the progress can be fast and make it quicker,otherwise it will go down like this:
        You: Guess what guys I got enemies working!
        Bob:Oh I did that a week ago.
        You: Oh well….
        Or something 😛 like that, I’m always happy to work along as long as I A know what I’m doing and B. Am giving previous information on doing so.

  30. Oh I’m happy to see that you haven’t done one progress yourself… as I predicted
    while I have decoded from time character creation packet and I can save it on database…
    Coincidence? I do not think …
    a hug, Raffa

  31. So there’s still hope to play the old LEGO Universe?

    • I mean… you said you did not succeed (now?) and you said the broken (alpha) servers release in June17th.

      • Well, you can download them already, it’s just that my hosting server won’t be hosting the public server until June 17th.

  32. jonnylegoboy911 June 5, 2014 @ 4:44 PM

    Oh dear. 60% server running time worries me. I’m in the UK and will only ever be able to play between about 5:30pm till 11pm GMT/BST, basically British time. Will your servers cover this?

  33. I feel like you are dodging this question or maybe not, but Are you able to change worlds without an ERROR? Is so HOW?

  34. Gamerthaflamer June 7, 2014 @ 5:54 AM

    So now that were in high gear…Am I the only one thinking timtech is robocop and raffa is the EVIL OCP? Lol

  35. lightningblade June 7, 2014 @ 12:15 PM

    here is the dropbox link for the client (as promised to lego king): https://www.dropbox.com/s/3l8tn8c93ympz16/lu_full_v1-10-64.zip

  36. Email from me to LEGO, please I ask everyone here email LEGO about happy flower, the more information we get, the better: We understand that you would like to revisit and improve the world of LEGO® universe.

    However, this software wasn’t developed by the LEGO® group and we don’t have the license to sell the software or offer it for free to our customers.

    It is also possible that this application is still in use for the development of future LEGO games. Therefore, we can’t offer you the requested program.

    New news too! This is how to do it without an error-
    Hello everyone,

    I have found out that in char_aw2.bin, the packet that contains the world’s ID, also contains the world’s revision checksum.
    This checksum is needed for a world to load without errors, if the ID is altered and the checksum is not, the client will give an error upon loading the world and kick you back to the login screen.

    So in that packet, first there’s the world ID, then a NULL, and then the revision checksum.
    Sadly, we don’t have the revision checksum for all worlds. Only for GF, Crux prime, Ninjago, NS and NI.

    Because the client verifies the checksum sent with it’s own checksum, the checksums we need should be in the client somewhere.
    We just need to find out where 🙂

    EDIT:
    It seems that there is no NULL byte inbetween the world ID and checksum.
    Also, quickcheck.txt in the FAT client has the checksums for every file, but it is outdated and doesn’t work.
    quickcheck might not be the right file, so we should seek further. Because the regular client also has the checksums and probably has a file like quickcheck somewhere.

    Here’s a small list of all the known world checksums so far: (in HEX bytes!)
    Nimbus Isle:
    89 F7 95 51 08 00 5D 04 4F 09 00 00 CD CC CC C1 CD CC E7 43 33 33 39 43 00 00 00 00

  39. BOOM! I got another LUP! http://luprechaun.wordpress.com/about/
    Man, I’m burnin’!

    • LUPS Shopping list
      1.Happy Flower
      2.FAT client

      • I thought we had a FAT client; mind explaining what it is? Is it the format used in Beta or something?

        • We have the Free-to-play clients, it’s only supposed to run Avant Gardens, and does not have much in it, Nealy for example has the FAT client/ Full game, in that it has all checksums preloaded, no need to change it, and has the ability to skip things like waiting to race or battle

  40. Odd I flew out there and found a strange rock with a launchpad in it, Does anyone know what it is? http://postimg.org/image/jcx59vm37/

  41. TimTech does your site have Pop-up ads, cause I keep getting them

    • No, it’s probably adware. I only have one ad per page (in the right sidebar) and it’s not a pop-up.

      • Crap, not good, Is there any websites/ free programs you would recommend to clean it off, this is my best computer

        • Not anything to recommend, but I would not recommend all of the “speed up my pc” things where you have to register etc. A pretty good tutorial can be found here, with one important thing being to uninstall anything that you don’t know what it is.

          • Yeah, I didn’t have any programs I didn’t know of, but sometimes when I go to a website something starts downloading saying “setup.exe”

      What browser are you using? If it’s chrome then that’s what chrome normally does but if it’s another browser then I don’t know.

    The rocket? For changing worlds?

  43. @TimTech- Try using server v4 to load worlds- don’t use checksums, It works, but only loads the main landscape.

  44. Hey Tim,

    We are getting our 10 year old router replaced soon, so I’ll upload the client once it’s done 🙂

  45. Does it actually works? Me and my brother was cryin at the end of LU and now i found this here! It will really sad if it is not workin !

  46. What was the engine LU ran on? Do know more information about that random spawning while in a spawn range?

  47. I’ve decided to fully reopen Luni Project to all, if they want to help
    just read: https://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/luniserver/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=146
    Thank you!

    • I don’t know about you, but if it can re-open that suddenly, it can be re-deleted that suddenly…

        do it! You should share all your work with the new project as you never had reservations did you! If it does get deleted fast then get what you can from it fast! In the meantime cooperate!

    • Does this mean I am no longer banned? And do you know all the checksums?

  48. There is a game called LEGO Minifigures Online. I heard that some of the people in that game were in the development of Lego Universe. The two games look very alike with there graphics. It might of also been made with with happy flower. Here is a like if you want to look at it: http://www.playminifigures.com/en

    I’ve found out another way to find out a checksum. (This might sound ridiculous but it works) Here it is:
    1. Get a checksum rainbow table
    2. Run the world-change file through a cracking program which utilises the previously created rainbow tables.
    3. Now wait for a few weeks (Keep the pc running!) and hey presto you have the checksum. (Unfortunately I don’t know any program which does that yet so you might have to do it by hand.)
