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.

BTW,are the checksums encoded in hashes? If yes, which encryption client is used?
The program used is Hex Neo
güzel
Size bunu sağlamak için bir onurdur, teşekkür ederiz.
Are you going to spawn the monsters soon in a update?
Unfortunately not.
1) the source it’s open and in the read me there is written that we are not responsible for any damages, downloading you accept that!
2) the source it’s open, now if there is a virus you can remove it and upload the “good” version!
3) Do you think that your site it’s legal? I answer the question for you: NO (example: minecraft client download)
“The source is open” yours isn’t, so be quiet. That Minecraft client requires you to have bought an account from Mojang already, you know. (Well actually, you don’t).
yes, I have reopened the git repository, so you have access, shutup say where is the virus and remove it now (if there is a “virus”)
You re-deleted it, don’t lie we know you keep switching opinions.
Raffa – If you were an antivirus software, it would have to be a bogus antivirus.
GET OUT OF HERE RAFFA! YOU CAUSED US A LOT OF TROUBLE TRYING TO GET A PRIVATE SERVER FOR THIS AMAZING GAME! SO IT WOULD BE BEST IF YOU GAVE UP, LEFT THE WEBSITE FOREVER, AND JUST LEAVE US ALONE!!! GET OUT!
What on mother earth would possess you, to waste your time to upload viruses, yet still want the project to go on, If you would’ve forgiven and forgotten, we would be done already
No we wouldn’t, we can’t get done without all the devs he scared away.
Yeah… Too bad they were not promoted leader, I think we all know why, because the the votes were fake of course!Even Nealy said so.
Yeah, just look at all the registered users.
Wow, try to delete the files with a virus on Tim’s computer, and then say you want the project to go on? What logic is in that?
tim says that he is a programmer and had removed “the virus”
but he haven’t posted “the virus” code here or on luni forum (and no solution was posted by him)
the source that it’s posted here it’s a copy of our source… so where is the virus?
virus or not virus? that’s the question?
you have tryed the server? your pc is still working? uhm and then? (however you can try on a virtual machine using virtualbox) so WHERE IS THIS VIRUS??? (there is no virus!)
I have removed the virus. No solution eh? We’ve had a virus-free 0.5 for months… and yes, my antivirus blocked the virus before it ran. I think you haven’t tried it recently, there was the virus delete hal.dll as well as restart the computer, causing system failure and permanent data loss.
The virus was located in WorldLoop.cpp, and was triggered when a specific chat message (sdown) was sent to the server. However, you messed up the virus and forgot the -s tag, which caused no damage since hal.dll was protected by my anti-virus.
So there’s your proof, if you download the source code of 0.5 you can see the comment //virus used to be here.
so is the project still alive in which we can play? or is it still dead as in we will never play lu again?
It’s alive but it is very ill with sickness
I actually got invited yesterday to the game would you like the download link?
It is illegal to do that, you will have your pants sued off
Oh wow sorry, I did not know that 🙁 im imbrassed
Lol 🙂
Guys…your like two children fighting over a toy, you can discuss copyrighted information when this project is finished or in the most closest state to being finished but right now work on what’s important and stick to it! * Maps, npcs, servers, character creation etc… *
I might take action if he doesn’t remove his false DMCA soon…
* looking at raffa and timtech. *
I know C++, can anyone else say the same? Including raffa… he needs his devs to get progress.
Hahaha! I’m attending the second year of IT in Genova, if you want I can provide you my marks… and you will be a little surprised since I have 29.75 / 30 avg.
I already have IC3 GS4 with over 12 fluent programming languages.
Tonight at 9:00
A new episode of BRAGGING RIGHTS
Featuring TimTech vs. Raffa
and the not-so-epic standoff of random programming languages!
guys calm down, what you don’t seem to realize is that you have a common goal. fight over copyrights later, and you don’t want to get attention in court (dmca’s and all) because Lego will have a higher chance of finding this and shutting it down for good, and no one wants that. unless you are prepared to go to court for the rights to LU if Lego finds out, in which chances are you will lose, then stop fighting about it and work together.
I’m currently learning C basic…..
How did we get from LU to grades?
What is the whole Raffa and TimTech story anyway?
We both were working together on this and both had sites, but mine was more popular so he signed a false DMCA takedown notice… that still applies. And I can’t do anything about it!
he is a jerk.
i have a problam.i can’t find lego soft ware nowhere.can you help me?
Do you mean the client?
yes
http://timtechsoftware.com/bitly/lu-d
Hello Timtech,
do you make new worlds and try Lego Universe so how it was?
umm i dont get this raffa and timtech thing is this LU closing down again and letting my dreams die in a pit of sadness again?
It’s okay. His project is closed, this one is open. Hopefully he will not cause any more problems, I know he is quite mad that no developers are re-joining him.
yay thank you! but just a question, if this project does survive, will character creation and monsters be possible, or just at least character creation and being able to play as the character you made?
Not for awhile, I have wanted monsters for a long time but that needs a lot of work, and right now every dev is working by themselves, only making small details to the game come back, if we want big progress than we have to work as a team
ok thanks for telling me
sorry for making decision to close git. however i believe it is for the best of lu
It’s OK, I think this project will be able to survive.
I liked GIT, but with the threat of viruses, I was just was worried.
The best decision was to kill the revival?
there were two revivals, it comes down to survival of the fittest, and apparently there were viruses in one, so the other gained territory and won…
That’s about right.
That’s the problem people think their is territory and property or whatever. I don’t give a dang about who owns it and no one here should. The main goal is to bring the game back not who does it and who has the rights to it, and it really annoys me that this is messing the process up if you really want LU back because you liked it you wouldn’t shut your project down because someone else took the work to work on it too.
Hey, this project is open source. Take it, change it, improve it. It’s licensed under the General Public License, designed to protect your rights to a free and open-source LEGO Universe server, however incomplete it might be.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6Epbz-jVDo Be encouraged by this LU trailer! timtech, raffa please dont fight! 🙁 why cant you both team up with all the devs and continue this project! And I dont want to hear any excuses! plus even if you two fight you do realise your both delaying the project that might never see the light of day if you continue like this. making all this hard work pointless, and ultmately killing LU forever…
Hello TimTech,
do you make the project go on?
Yes, to the best of my ability.
Someone! Please get all the devs together into a team and get back on track! Raffa, stop attacking! this isn’t even YOUR source! Becouse you needed the devs to help you with the project just to get it stable. This all started becouse of timtechs popularity becouse of this project? Even though he posted a link to YOUR SITE! And you’ve gotten the DMCA Involved nice job stupid, now Lego will catch this attention and kill this project for good. Now all that years of work has gone to waste… Timtech or robo try to reach contact again with the devs make your own team and elect a RESPONSIBLE leader who knows what he’s doing and focuses on the the project! Speaking of the project we need to rename it something other than ” the LUNI project ” becouse that name now represents the failure of raffas leadership. Hope all will read this and agree, if this war continues I will watch this project fall Until it’s just another LU rumor on the internet.
Not much anyone can do….. I am hoping the devs will make their own project- but Raffa really did destroy alot, but Tim is right, this project will pull though.
Does this actually work?HiI can’t believe wordpress lets you do this
stuffWordPress should add #hashtags
Well said @Gamerthaflamer. I have a separate project to this – maybe timTech and/or Robo can help…
Email Me: tristanbarrraclough2000@gmail.com (or laptopguy89@gmail.com)
rile5 me: Tristan
What do you mean by a separate project?
I have figured out an alternative solution to the LUNI project – but it’s a lot more glithy than LUNI. I ‘m working on it, and this should get anything done a lot quicker!!!
http://www.gamebryo.com/screenshots.php
Half way down- there is Lego Universe- anyone know where to buy this engine
Okay I’m done! 🙂 all my rage is gone. Robo what do you mean by buying that engine?
Here is what I am planning inn a nutshell: Every game runs on a game engine, all engines have an editor program inside, that lets you do almost everything to the game(spawning,changing landscape)
Problem: Some game engines are free (Unity3D) and some are a lot of money, but some like this one, will give it to us free, if they think our project is a good idea. I’m contacting them tonight.
Good luck Robowarrior… http://www.gamebryo.com/register.php
Look what this guy has acheived in Unity3D: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuqCqtDqxJc&list=UUHzMMqrPZgCAzi80Z4189tA
Also, TheLegendTeam did quite well…
There’s a really good game engine called Panda3D. Try it out. As far as I know, it’s free.
I saw the legend team- they had potential- Unity3d makes game making easy
Guys. What was our mission? To restore LU. Technically, we’ve failed. Unless, of course, we do something about it…
BTW – I love my custom LU!!!!!!!!!! More bugs than Raffas viruses!!! (Sorry Raffa!)
im starting to feel bad for raffa. even though he (nearly?) destroyed the project.
Don’t feel bad for him, He no longer deserves pity
yeah your right
He threatened to ban me from his site for this post. I think he should just continue to ban me. Then he will realize that I’m the only one who posts there anyway.
Whoops, now he deleted everything 😛
So it says this project is in development, does this mean updates?
There’s some big stuff happening. I’d say stay tuned, there may be substantial updates within a couple months. (I hope).
Timtech I will be waiting in excitement to see some major improvements in this project! I really don’t mind if it’s small, but regardless I know this will improvement more and more! Good luck with this project! And I know it’s now in safe hands!
Raffa just deleted all the forums, files, reviews, and support. (See for yourself). I guess he’s mad 🙂
I see… and I can also see that he has no downloads this week… lol. (lets keep it like that!) Anyone have the lu website files? @TimTech are you willing to host a beta server? Tweet me @theepictristan or email me: tristanbarraclough2000@gmail.com
Umm what do you mean by LU website files?
Forum is down for source forge maintenante and I have to manually restore it… tommorow I go to university so I need time!
The Website Itself… I was thinking of modifying it so it would try and attract consumers.
This website or one of your own?
The LU website @TimTech
I can see if I can get a cached version of it.
Timtech, will you continue to work on the project?
Yes.
Robo, any luck with the game engine? Did they like our plans to bring This back?
They still did not respond, I am going to resend it tomorrow, if they don’t respond
@Robowarrior Any updates??
They are ignoring me completely
Got a plan B?
@GamerTheFlamer Converting? Or, pirating the software? xD
@RoboWarrior I just finished persuasion in my english class; I’ll try!
You know what? this projects theme song should be “eye of the tiger” mostly becouse it tells the epic story of this project and the battle between all of us vs raffa. It will be most fitting, dont you agree? 😀
Lets not go there 😛
Robo…Too late! 😀
you haven’t made a trailer, have you? @GamerTheFlamer
I had a dream no joke, we found all of there hidden codes, and brought lego universe back to its fullest, but it was in August, I tell you, we are close!
Man, I hope you have magic dream-god-like visions that tell the truth! LOL 😛
I keep getting this message whenever I try to log in with the UserNames
Sorry, We could not sign you in to Lego Universe, please try again in a few minutes
I have the settings in boot.cfg right and everything, I kept trying but it won’t work, any idea on the problem?
Do you have a server set up that is running on your computer at the same time? (See the tutorial again).
Whenever I try to set up the whole LUNI Server thing with Visual Studio it tells me the files are incompatible.
Solution ‘LUNI Server’ (0 Projects)
> LUNI Server (incompatible)
> RakNet (incompatible)
> TSoft (incompatible)
Please Someone just help me!? I am clearly clueless with Visual Studio.
-Sincerely, Micah (Bionicle4374)
What version of Visual Studio do you have? And are you opening the .sln (solution) file?
I have Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows and I have tried both files. It seems that I only have a trial of it… maybe that interferes?
-Micah
Hey, nice project btw. I was just wondering what future versions will be like. Will it ever be possible to build on Nimbus Isle? (I am not certain about how much I am asking for here technical wise). I really just want to know about the future scope of the project to determine what I can expect, that is all. Thanks.
No, as far as I know, building will never be implemented. Sorry.
Well…you never know, you might achieve it in the future when most of the important stuff is finished.
As far as I know 😉
Hey,
I just wanted to say how much I appreciate the work you put into this. I don’t think I have ever been happier to see a video game, let alone one designed for kids, come back.
Just a quick question, though: Will it ever be possible for the server to have more abilities? Like the ability for you to equip gear, create a new character (and actually be able to play with it), and travel between worlds? Or would it be a bit hardware-resource-consuming to do so?
Thanks,
JwrKy
The problem with making the server better does not involve hardware, it involves the lack of packets, chunks of information transmitted between computers over the Internet. We used up the only set of packets that were captured back when LEGO Universe was still online, and now there is a very small chance of any more large expansions.
Thanks for asking!
That is not completely true 🙂 There are other packets. The problem is that those of us working with them have other commitments that take up most of our time. Maybe one day they will be released into the wild but I think that most people interested in this project don’t have the programming knowledge to use them, they just want to play LEGO Universe again. Heck, I don’t have the programming knowledge that humanoid24 and lcdr have.
For those that don’t know, humanoid24 is the one that really got the project going by breaking the encryption so we could decrypt the packets. And lcdr has done wonders with determining what all the packet codes mean.
Is humanoid24 still decrypting the codes and improving the project?
Glad I was wrong, but I thought you had said the other 2/3 of the packets couldn’t be decrypted because you didn’t have the key.
P.S. If you need any brute force decryption, my computer system will handle the job with speed 🙂
I was able to go through all my packets and determine what could be decrypted. There were many that could not be decrypted which is unfortunate because they were of actions that would be extremely helpful. But there were a lot where I changed worlds during the capture so I was able to decrypt those parts.
I did happen to capture my placing bricks on my property. I also captured some racing and BONS. Granted, we are a long way from that 🙂
So you guys are making progress? 😀
Hi, Timtech
I was wondering what’s going on with the project right now. It’s been at least a month since I’ve checked on it, and I have a couple of questions.
Do I need to make my own server to play again? And what worlds do you currently have working?
Thanks.
Yes, the developers requested that I take down my public server so I did. The four worlds are the same, although you can edit the files to gain an additional world, Ninjago Monastery.
I haven’t been here in a wile! I just started playing lego mini figures online but LEGO Universe will always be my favorite
Tim can you put the Full working windows client on dropbox. I have a mac. Thay can’t download the file on their internet browser. I wanted the windows because i have the windows operating system on my mac. (its not pirated it is made by microsoft) i have tried to download it on windows but it didn’t work. I tried to use google crome but it didn’t work. So can you please put it on dropbox?
Oh I think I forgot to put the space in Lego king.
there it is! My picture.
http://timtechsoftware.com/?page_id=1065&cpage=17#comment-6103
thank you so much i didn’t see that
You’re welcome 🙂
http://luniserver.sourceforge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=154&sid=5fb044b6e83a41a8160580ae6269eb02 Does this solve anything? hope it does.
I don’t think so…
If my brain is predicting for the updated stuff it will be…
1: Enemy Npcs and friendly Npcs
2: character creation and the ability to make accounts
3: Cutscenes and missions
4: New worlds and mini games
Hope this list is something you will keep or modify Timtech! 🙂
P.S on the main menu the copyright it says 2011 instead of 2014 also the LEGO® Group copyright needs to be added, and the link for the LEGO ID probably needs to be redirected to your site, same thing with the forgot your password link and the sign up now links.
LEGO does not support this project
We could change it to our development name… Or even just put the developers name there…
You said “Yes, the developers requested that I take down my public server so I did. The four worlds are the same, although you can edit the files to gain an additional world, Ninjago Monastery.” So how do we edit worlds with Ninjago Monastery can you tell me.
You have to edit the world ID and checksum in char_aw2 with a hex editor.
ok thx
I have an issue with the game. The server starts fine, but when I run LEGO Universe off of my laptop (on the same network) It says: Failed to download LEGO Universe.
(I did the patch server ip, authentication server ip, etc.)
Do you have the full client?
Yes, I have the full client on my PC.
You did extract the files, correct?
Timtech, whenever I load up LEGO Universe on one computer, and a server on the other, the game says, “You need a new username and password.”, or something along the lines of that. I haven’t tried using a computer with the server AND game.
If the PATCHSERVERIP is localhost then both the client and server must be on the same machine.
I tried that, same error. I downloaded the client properly, and all is well, except that.
I also put the IP in boot.cfg and still same error.
In boot.cfg (client) the AUTHSERVERIP=0:localhost and in config.ini (server) the redirect_ip should be localhost
I have an idea for a new name for the project since LUNI is kind of getting old.
How does LEGO universe rebuilt sound?
Sounds good. Anyone else have ideas?
LEGO UNIVERSE Reassembled
Hey! From the looks of it, the name might actually be a thing now! Thanks for using the name! 😀
You’re welcome, I liked your name the best 🙂
i like it
tim can you help me!
I have downloaded the latest version of lego universe for windows and when I try to start lego universe.exe it opens and shows a white screen with bob running. Then IT CRASHES! 🙁
please help
Is your PATCHSERVERIP=0:cache.legouniverse.com
yes
Please copy and paste your boot.cfg
here:
SERVERNAME=0:LuniServer,PATCHSERVERIP=0:cache.legouniverse.com,AUTHSERVERIP=0:localhost,PATCHSERVERPORT=1:80,LOGGING=1:100,DATACENTERID=5:150,CPCODE=1:89164,AKAMAIDLM=7:0,PATCHSERVERDIR=0:luclient,UGCUSE3DSERVICES=7:1,UGCSERVERIP=0:127.0.0.1,UGCSERVERDIR=0:3dservices, (… edited out the rest)
Looks fine… you did extract the files first, right?
I have a problem. I choose ‘models’ in ‘backpack’ and after a few seconds getting disconnected from server.
It’s caused by the incompetency of the server to handle models.
ok now i have notepad++ and installed the plugin hex editor how do i change the worlds to go to Ninjago Monastery
lego universe is not working for me when i start my server and go on a charcter it goes to 100% and dosent stop
Is your server ever up anymore Tim?
No. (Sorry). The real developers asked me to remove it until they had more progress.
The original LU Lego devs? Or the LUNI devs?
Okay that’s fine I know (and have) set up my personal one a few times just wanted to know if yours still ran. Are you guys looking like your gonna start making some progress or not?
I haven’t seen one bit since I closed my server 😐 I think this is as good as it’ll get though.
Then why did you shut it down until it got better? 😛
Whenever I try to build the server (version 0.5), it says that it cannot open winsock2.h because there is no such file or directory. Any ideas?
you could install server 0.5 again and try again
You do have Visual Studio 2013, correct?
I got the server and I have the client what else do I have to do?
Follow the tutorial at the top of the page.
Are you guys editing/coding the whole source with C++? I’m starting to learn it, as I am pretty advanced in Python and Lua. I would like to lend a hand in the project if I can.
Also, I am very familiar with mySQL and XAMPP, as I have created and hosted servers on my computer using both (WoW, etc.)
Great! Any customizations you can make to the server would be appreciated.
How long do you think it will take to be able to play one character on all the zones that are playable so far in this version? And I am very happy that someone cares enough about LU to make a playable version!
Nothing will come soon, most things will never be implemented. This is due to the lack of packets (chunks of information) sent from the server to the client. Now that the official server was removed, these packets can no longer be obtained, and most of the ones that exist have already been put to use.I believe there are, however, about 30% of the packets that are still to be implemented.
Hoping that 30% will improve it. Then I shall wait until till 100%
For its completion.
Like what will these packets add them?
I don’t know, but it can’t be that much.
Finally! My account has not been working! But now it does! I see the developers have not made any progress, even with your severs down
Hopefully it will keep me logged in 🙂
If you checked the box, it should 😀
So…anything new? or still in the decoding department? whatever the case hope it will help! and improve the project! even though we are kinda stuck! 😀
Yes! LEGO Universe – Rebuilt has just been born 🙂
i just keep getting ‘cannot sign you into lego universe. please try again in a few minutes.’ any help?
Did you follow the tutorial? Or try doing your own server? Becouse the public server by timtech is closed for the time being.
Yes, unfortunately for me Microsoft has blown its top and taken down 22 2nd-level domains used for DNS redirects (and one of them was lu.hopto.org). I think the situation should be resolved within a few days.
SUMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You do realize that LUNIServer does not qualify as abandoned, right? Personally, I don’t care but I suspect raffa is not going to be happy with you using the source.
Well, according to Sourceforge, it does (bold for emphasis):
However, I (wisely?) took the decision of not contacting raffa:
I have thoroughly linked to LUNIServer throughout my description and wiki pages relating to server versions 0.1-0.5. Hopefully, continuing the development of the server under a new name and a new leader* will either encourage new developments or at least spread the word about this server.
*I was kind of tired with standing by, doing nothing, while waiting for raffa’s situation to “resolve”.
You know you are just stretching that definition. I think it takes more than a week or two for it to be considered not actively being developed. I would think it takes months or even years.
And how do you know it is not being actively developed? He may be working on it and just hasn’t posted any updates.
I am not defending raffa or his project but I do think it is underhanded to take his source by claiming his project is not actively being developed when you really don’t have any proof. Maybe if you are just using the original source, before he decided to close it, then I guess it isn’t that bad since that was GPL’d.
If you are tired of waiting for raffa, you can always start your own and just use the basic concepts from the message board. Oh, and the packets I posted are there for anyone to use. What has been accomplished under raffa’s project is not that hard to duplicate without copying his source code. And if you are learning C++, it is a good learning experience 🙂
Did I forget to mention we are doing our own code?
Yes 😛 Your little description made it sound like you were going to take over his project. If you are doing your own, there was no reason to bring up abandoned projects. Heck, anyone that wants can start their own LEGO Universe server project. Raffa doesn’t own the concept.
Good luck 🙂
this is great and all but I cant seem to play it… I do all the steps and when I open the client I get weird messages saying that its acting similar to a virus and wont let me join the game no matter what I do. :/ a video tutorial might make it easier.
