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.

What is the plan for the next time for the LUNIServer?
As far as I know, the LUNI Server is “complete” and not receiving updates any time soon.
But we can’t Create own Charakters or can speak with NPC or rise in another Worlds…
True, but the available packets they have already been used.
It’s not in the “complete” status.
Just look for yourself: http://sourceforge.net/projects/luniserver/?source=navbar
See what it says there? “Planning” not complete or “abandoned”.
Who are you? Identity yourself before you start giving out crap.
I think he’s a dev or something on their team. He joined recently, I believe.
Ooh, seriously though, it’s abandoned. I don’t what the official ruling is.
Officially, they’re planning. Unofficially, it’s completed/abandoned.
TimTech what is a FAT Client?
It is more complete than a regular client.
More complete, what do you say?
Well it’s fat, so it has more stuff in it
Yes, it has additional things inside it.
Can we ever again play LU how it was?
And how can I help?
Hello???
We don’t know
Yeah, we’re really clueless. 😛
patric can you send me the pk file compress I dont care if doent work well i just need one
I can you send the link to a Tutorial how you can extract the pk’s here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2n1XF2y2Zb4
What is now the plan for the next time?
Try and error for checksums while loading worlds.
witch would would almost be impossible
Definitely.
Yeah, but with a code cracker, it would only take……. months
I’m equipped with fast hardware, but this approach seems crazy. We’re not decoding anything. If we could compute the checksum on-demand, then we could really do some exploring 🙂
Or if nealy won’t be so , you know what.
Yeah 😛
Timtech quand aura lieux les mise a jours etant donner que mon lu crash toujours je le referait a la mise a jour quand est-ce-que elle aura lieux
La dernière mise à jour ne devrait pas tomber en panne. Dans les config.ini du serveur s’assurer que redirect_ip est localhost.
Have you come on?
Hello???
What?
Do you find the check sums for the Worlds?
Not yet.
It’s unlikely that we will, we need the FAT client or somebody to tell us them, NealyBealy has all of them, but he is being selfish.
Hello! How can I help with the Lego universe? Where can I get the required packages of the game?
You can see all downloadable client and server packages here.
Thank you!
You’re welcome.
Have you come on or not?
Does any one know what the Lego Universe Dialog is I found it in the launcher
What launcher?
its the legouniverse.exe
Oh. No, I don’t think I know what it is.
Hey timtech, I think your a genius, I have been doing some research of my own lately, and, is it still possible to log into lego universe and play, as of now? Like by changing the boot.cfg file etc, can I play lego universe in
Certain dimensions, and, do you plan on working on getting to other dimensions like avant gardens, nexus tower etc? Assuming you can still play of course, reply back thanks!!
Changing the boot.cfg does not alter which world is loaded. That information lies within world\char_aw2.bin in the server.
+checksum
@Timtech
How much would you expect to pay a programmer to reprogram LU?
Also, would you be able to host the multiplayer server on a vps? (I could supply you with data on a few ones which I know)
We’re not programming LU, only a server. I don’t have any funds for this anyway. And yes, if the VPS has a decent Internet speed, the server will perform well on it, provided the ports are forwarded correctly.
how many gb ram and ghz cpu power does it need?
(I’m talking about the LU server)
Barely any; I think 1 GB/1 GHz would be fine. It’s usually the internet speed that is the first to turn problematic.
Timtech do you come on and found all checksums for the worlds?
When yes, what do you do next?
well after getting the world checksums we would have to find the other check sums for npc or scripts and anything else
I think checksums are only for worlds. At any rate, a FAT client could help.
From where do you think do you become the FAT Client?
would it be possible to add the /pullmap command allowing you to get the files from the server
I don’t know it.
its ccommand allowing you to get world files from the server
I don’t think so.
well when i change the mapx.pk to the beta version I gave me a error when I tryed to load ninja monastry saying you had no zone file so an empty one was created. You may need to /pullmap to this map from the server
Do you make the Server again online at lu.horpto.net?
No, I’m waiting for updates before I make another public server.
Also when the Server is finish?
Plz timtech jait toujours le bug quoi faire !!!
Je donlowald le client une deuxieme fois
MERCI MON LU MARCHE !!!!!! thanks thanks thanks jait supprimer et remis parmis les fichier changer le boot.cfg et cela marche merci mais bon maintenant je m’attends des mise a jours au moins celle des énemis des personnage et des mission et aussi equipement mettable merci!!
As I understand you now want to add an npc?
You have at least some idea of how they work? But then perhaps it is time to create your wiki for developers, or the forum?
Oui je veux rejouer a lu le vraix lu l’espoir n’est peux etre as partie
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bo0QUxM0ngE&list=UUeDfrzjMuxLTEZlrmbpgnnA
nealybely has found the nexustower checksum 😀
Neal has all the checksums.
Do we become the checksums?
Do you found a FAT Client?
we don’t have fat client
Do you find new checksums?
No.
Elle inclura quoi la prochaine mise a jour et c’est quand
How many checksums we have and how many failed?
we have 5 checksums
Yes, checksums for the four current worlds and Ninjago Monastery.
How do you get to the ninjago monastery? Please make a tutorial
I Can
Ill upload video tutorial on youtube tommorrow
Ok et quand y’aura la mise a jours et elle inclura quoi merci
D’autres développements seront limitées en raison du manque de paquets d’information nécessaires.
Hey, this is probably somewhere in the comments, but I’m obviously too lazy to look for it. Is it currently possible to manually change what world the characters start in? I’m enjoying running around aimlessly in an empty world, but I’d love to be able to change scenery. 🙂
P.S. A thanks goes to those who made this project a reality, you’ve done some really great work, and I can’t wait to see how far you guys can go.
Yes, but only to any of the five worlds we currently have checksums for (Ninjago Monastery and the four you can already visit).
For the Furture I make a list with all NPCs were are in all worlds ok?
And do you have now all checksums become from nealybely?
No, we have no more checksums.
Merci timtech j’ait tout réinsstaller jait changer boo.cfg et mon lu marche maintenant plus que a attendre la mise a jour 🙂
Vous êtes les bienvenus, je suis heureux que vous avez réussi à le faire fonctionner.
So I have a question, is it remotely possible… That after we somehow get all the checksums, is it possible that we could reset the progress so we start at the first achievement on the venture league, and, is it possible to get the rockets to work to teleport? Thanks!
No, those are completely different features.
So, I realize they are different features but is it possible for them to work? If so are you potentially going to work on them? And one last thing, I think Neal is either a pro coder/hacker or a former lego universe worker. I am going to email lego or call and see if they could give me the checksums 😉 I’ll see what I can do!
Neal is not from the LEGO Company. He just happens to have all the results of the latest LUNI Server build, which was lost to the public when the files were deleted.
WHY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT CHECKSUMS WHEN WE KNOW THAT WE ONLY HAVE THEM FOR FIVE WORLDS??????????????!!!!!!!!!!!
Because we need checksums for all the worlds 😛
Here are most of the other checksums, except Keelhaul Canyon which I did not get. I don’t know what will happen if you just substitute these for what is in the char_aw2.bin. There are other things in there like player position and instance. I think it will be like on Gnarled Forest where the player is in the sky and falls. The checksum is at 0x10 and the position starts at 0x16 according to what lcdr found.

Timtech do these work?
Yes.
How would we be able to load these checksums they dont work in the Char_aw2.bin file
-facepalm-
You need to swap the values like he said in the post above. If you don’t understand it, you should go keep yourself busy with something else. 😛
“If it’s too hard for you, don’t do it”.
I’ll be hopefully adding a tutorial for this soon, don’t worry.
Are that all the checksums what we needed?
Yes.
Hey pwjones, I’m grateful that you have chosen to make this information public. Unfortunately, the checksums don’t appear to match up with the five we already have. They look very truncated.
It may be that I’m just confused, or used to the previous way of switching worlds. If you could hint a little more at the process used to utilize these, I’d be much obliged!
What you have includes some “extra” information like the player position which, as I stated, starts at 0x16. The actual checksum is only 4 bytes. It is possibly 6 if you include the extra 00 00 after it. The world is the 2 bytes at 0x08. The other is stuff I am not completely sure about. So:
0x08 – world
0x0a – ???
0x10 – checksum
0x16 – player position (x,y,z – 4 bytes each)
0x22 – 00 00 00 00
(I guess to be technically correct, what I am calling a byte is actually a word.)
Oh, I was taking 0x10 to be 0x0a. Thanks for the explanation 🙂
(I guess to be technically correct, what I am calling a byte is actually a word)
Shows that I am still thinking in 8 bits and not used to bytes being anything else. I guess these days bytes are considered to be 16 bits by Microsoft compilers. So just ignore me 🙂
Bytes are 8 bits, right? Or has it changed?
The term byte is used for many things. In memory and hard drives it is definitely 8 bits. I think in programming terms it is compiler dependent. I think Visual Studio considers it to be 16 bits. At least that is what I can tell from the data type ranges on Microsoft’s website. And I may be completely wrong 🙂 so take it with a grain of salt.
So I just saw where raffa has copied this to his forum. I guess now he is “stealing” from TimTech’s website 🙂 Oh, and he didn’t give anyone(me) credit.
By giving out information here, you are giving out information to the general public. But at least we give credit where credit is due.
I know. I just find it funny that he was yelling how you did not give credit and were stealing yet there he is doing the same thing 🙂
Too true. I wonder if he would mind if I removed SUtil and renamed the server to LUR Server.
Woah! Thank you pwjones! This is awesome! BTW, do know have any clue on how to get the npcs/objects to load yet? I have heard a rumor that nealy knew how… Dunno how true that is…

Yes. It has to do with the replica manager. Beyond that, I am not sure. I am currently working on the coordinates for the landing zones, though. I have gotten most of the ones from the packets I have, only a few more to find.
Ok. Do you know what packets contain the replica manager info?
Also, do you have any packets with the user chatting? I’m trying to get the chat to work (sorta) and I figured out that every time the user sends a chat message, the server receives a packet with the message in hexadecimal.

Another thing, by any chance would the .lua files in the client allow us to figure out anything? They have a lot of functions for various aspects of the game.

-Jon002
As far as know nealy probably completed a sever, IDK why he has to be so darn secretive
Yeah Robo, I think Neal wants to have power through mystery and control of information… he wants to be the boss of LU. I just think everyone would be happier if we worked together.
I don’t think nealy has completed anything yet. I know he has a FAT client but beyond that I do not believe he has been able to create a server. That was mainly humanoid and lcdr who created our basic server for us.
Answer the Call. Save Imagination.
-Jon002
So, I have a lot of free time on my hands… I could try every possible combination and see what I come up with, maybe I will find all the checksums :O never know! Tell me what you think, and if Neal got the latest server build before they were deleted, does that mean they were available for download? If so, maybe we could try to find someone who still has it! Tell meh what u think
Looks like pwjones has distributed the information to the public for us 🙂
So…is it time to advance? P.S Timtech tell that twat raffa to stop posting lies/viruses on the LUNI server forum, someone’s computer could get seriously hurt! 🙁
Raffas bad link! : http://luniserver.sourceforge.net/forum2/index.php?topic=194.0
It’s been reported and removed.
Thank you Timtech, Are we finally making some progress? on LEGO Universe Rebuilt?
Yes, I’m considering creating an automatic world-switching server.
that sounds cool
How do you know when the server is up? It used to say at the top of the page now it doesn’t.
We didn’t have enough funds to continue hosting the public server.
So timtech, does this mean you will be re-uploading the lego universe client with the new checksums? And please give us the full checksums, seeing as you understand how to decode what pwjones posted, and please get that tutorial up soon that you promised, and lastly, are you working on getting the rockets working!?!?
The tutorial might not he necessary seeing that I will be releasing a different server soon. Still, it will be good to have a tutorial. The things pwjones posted are the actual checksums, any extra information shows the player’s position, etc. Rockets are not being worked on yet, and I doubt you’ll be able to travel anytime soon.
Can you make that we don’t need the Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 for Desktop, because by me I can’t install the VB 2013 for Desktop because I have Windows Vista.
I’m going to try a different type of server that will not need VS installed.
Good, Thank you.
Timtech what we needed in the next time for the Server?
And how many time we needed to have the Server finish?
I got locked out of my account. Anywho, thanks for the checksums, I don’t fully understand the spawn point and how to choose it, so I’m having a hard time with Nexus Tower, though I think if you stay in Avant Gardens spider area. I believe it tries to spawn a broken file.
I unlocked your account. The spawn point information is located after the checksum, but changing it would be useless unless you know the location of the spawn point.
You can use /location to get the xyz coordinates, though I don’t know if that is what we need. For Nexus Tower, you need to get around the y-coordinate of about 1120… Yes, I know. Took me five minutes I get into it.
Answer the Call. Save Imagination.
-Jon002
I believe this is useful; we can match up the packet with the coordinate of the odd spawn area and reverse it with the coordinates of the regular spawn point.
How do you convert the coordinates to hexadecimal though? The x-coordinate for CheekyMonkey in hex is “CD CC CC C1” but in decimal it should be (with /location) “-25.599”.
Answer the Call. Save Imagination.
-Jon002
I don’t know 🙁
Having problems with odd spawn areas in worlds, which byte in char_aw2.bin is it to correct it?
Thanks to pwjones:
0×08 – world
0x0a – ???
0×10 – checksum
0×16 – player position (x,y,z – 4 bytes each)
0×22 – 00 00 00 00
How come whenever I load one of the four characters, it just puts me in a property place? For example: “Loading Crux Prime…” *finishes* *am now in avant grove* <– not sure if it's really avant grove but it's one of the property places.
One of the players (CheekyMonkey) defaults to Nimbus Isle, which is a property.
Ok donc timtech maintenant comme vous avez toutes les somme de controle pouvons nous utiliser les fusée pour changer de monde ? au lieux d’aller dans les dossier et changer et les ennemis les equipement les nouveaux personnages ces mise a jour se produiront ? Cordialement
Non, les fichiers doivent être édités directement. Ennemis,des équipements et des roquettes ne sont pas encore mises en œuvre.
I’ve tried all of the characters, and they all turn into CheekyMonkey after loading is over, which leaves me in Nimbus Isle…
Which server version is this?
Wow, isn’t this brilliant? It’s so awesome to see that this project hasn’t stagnated after all this time.
Before I continue, I’d just like to say “Thanks, pwjones!” I’ve been rather excited to be able to visit other worlds, and it seems that now that we have these checksums that will be more than possible!
So, question time:
*Since your server is currently down, I have to host one if I want to play, right?
*If I host one (locally or otherwise), can I play the game on the same computer (just to let you know, said computer that I would use to host is powerful, lots of RAM.)?
*If the answer to the previous is “yes,” will someone else get to play on the other PC in my house?
Thanks in advance for answering!
Harry Potterybarn.
1. Yes, you can just download, extract, and run the latest server version (0.5).
2. Yes, if the computer can run LEGO Universe, it can support an additional (but minor) load from the server.
3. Possibly. You will not be able to interact if you do both connect, which in itself is complicated. If you try this, you may as well attempt port forwarding and DNS redirection through No-IP.
Thank you very much!
You’re very welcome! If you need any help, I’ll be glad to assist you.
Timtech what we needed in the next time for the Server?
Packets that should have been captured when LEGO Universe was still open. However, with the checksums we have, I think improvements can be made.
Timtech, do you know how long until you are finished with your server that doesn’t require VS? And are you going to create a public server? Lastly, do you think its possible to reset achievements and is that a goal any time soon? achievements on LU that is
It might be a while, and as far as I know there will not be a public server. The LU achievement reset is not a goal and I doubt its implementation.
But timtech…what happens if we get really far! Like 99.99% and that point 0.1 is the achievement missions! You and the others could reset! And the project will be finished! 😀 :3
What if? 😛
what if secretly in the LU achievement packets codes ands stuff there a hidden message show how to make a complete server
TimTech, can you upload a tutorial of how to change the checksums and upload the checksums, not the small non-working ones PWjones posted, you know how to change them i think, please do!
Actually, pwjones shared perfect information, and I was the one that was confused. However, I hope to upload a tutorial tomorrow.
Now that you havve allbut one of the checksums, what does it mean?
We can visit all but one of the worlds.
