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.

So Two things TimTech, first, when is the update coming out for the lego universe server with the new checksums and with the no VS needed? Second, do you think you could add me on skype, I would like to talk sometime and just work on Lego Universe, im pretty good at figuring out config, changing id’s etc, if not I completely understand how it is ^_^ And also, when the new server update comes out I will personally make a server tutorial because I have not found one, and I made a video using timtech to open lego universe! Sorry for the long comment!
The new server may take a while; since I cannot compile in release due to errors I have decided to pack all necessary files with the server.
Also, here is a re-post of the informaton provided by pwjones:
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 0×10 and the position starts at 0×16 according to what lcdr found.

Ok timtech la prochaine mise a jour inclura quoi de nouveaux merci
Dans la prochaine mise à jour, vous serez en mesure de passer à n’importe quel monde sans avoir à modifier char_aw2.bin.
Pour quand la prochaine mise à jour? J’ai trop hâte de resentir l’ancien temps… Devenir un Ninja… Construire ce que tu veut sur ton terrain, tuer des monstres, équipements et armes, les quests! C’était incroyable dans ce jeu il y avait tous dans ce jeu! 🙁 J’ai trop hâte que vous finissiez et réussissez à tous refaire 🙂
?? est-ce que ce site est un site français ou anglais ou les deux ??
Will travel EVER be possible, now that you have all (but one) of the checksums?
Maybe; at least having the checksums brings us one step closer.
if the developers made travel possible then there is a chance that travel will work
Ok, now that we’ve got all the checksums for the worlds is it possible to make a server that connects all the worlds? Also any possibilitys or upcoming events of NPCs?
I’m attempting a server to change to all the worlds. NPCs, however, are a different matter.
are you gonna make a client for this server?
No, there is only one client, no need for a new one.
Oui mission perssonage equipement monstre rt voyage avec fusée = Vraix LU et boutique aussi
In reply to your previous reply to my latest comment<–that was confusing.
The server version is Windows 0.5
What was with your site last night?
Our YOP Poll plugin was incompatible after it was updated. All admin pages were blank and pages that utilized the plugin would not loud on the front-end. I had to manually remove the plugin to restore the site. Later on I restored an older version of the plugin to continues its use.
Hey dude,
Can you tell me how to open .bin files? I have tried using Notepad and Notepad++, but neither of them seem to know how to open them correctly.
All help will be appreciated.
JwrKy
You need to use Notepad++ with the plugin HEX Editor to make any sense out of the .bin files.
You can also used the program HxD. Its a hex editor and its what I use.

Timtech, you didn’t answer a part of my question, could I skype you? Here um like do u know a way to show me without showing other ppl? If you want to that is.
how do i open boot.cfg plz answer fast
Timtech I don’t mean to be a bother but why is robowarrior locked?
Forgot my password.
I unlocked you the first time you posted about being locked.
IDK, Still not working, I even tried to make a new account.
Ok et la prochaine mise a jour c’est quand also
Espérons que cette semaine.
Hi,
Wow. So pwjones released all the world checksums to public?? MASSIVE BREAKTHROUGH!!!!! What’s next? Enemies? 😀
So, that will probably take a while, so here is the PROPER list that we need to do to make the LUR Project a success…
– Hire a team to organise how we’re gonna do this.
– Contact LEGO to make sure we’re sticking to the rules of the project
– Setup social accounts on FB, twitter, Google+ etc… and Forums on LEGO, Rile5 (Hi, I’m Tristan/laptopguy89!) etc… to spread the word.
– Look at the LUNI Server and see what they did, hopefully translate it so we could use it (let’s hope for no viruses!)
– Start coding and BETA testing ASAP.
– Implement the world checksums into the server.
– Mine bitcoins so we could pay for a server! (I’m happy to host one for a month or so.)
– Dedicate a website (off SF) to the LUR project.
– Setup donation system to accept BC payments so we could not mine
NOTE: We don’t have to use Bitcoins, we could just use PayPal
If you wanna contact me, here are some methods:

-Tristan-
I did the same thing when NS was created here. Sadly, unless we can hire more devs, we can’t really get enemies.
That’s why we should get advertising RoboWarrior.
I can help with that. I took several classes for advertising, not to mention I am a very persuasive person, with 90%+ in advanced English classes, (basically paper writing and fake Adversisment making classes)
Ok cette semaine sera les ennemis
Cette semaine se seras quoi les ennemis les voyage les deux ? les mission les boutique les 4 ? equipement mettable aussi il y’aura quoi !!?
I wish I could try all this new checksums stuff out, sadly I lack experience and time (I am currently castle hunting in Germany, and don’t have a way to take classes for basic script). When you make the new server please enable the ability to either spawn at or use a rocket to advent gardens, that would be the best!
\/ Here’s a tutorial That I made that will simplify how to load new Checksum \/
– First-
You’ll Need The Nimbus Station Packet
b0 04 d5 e3 00 00 00 00 30 6b 1e da 00 00 cd
0c 87 43 00 00 7c 43 66 e6 11 c4 00 00 00 00
– Second-
You’ll Need A Hex editor Program and a CheckSum
So Take Your Checksum You want To use Such As
Advant Gardens 4c 04 11 55 52 49
Now Take The First 2 bytes of your checksum
->4c 40 will be the Advant Gardens
Now Take it and replace the first 2 bytes on the packet
b0 04 would be the first 2 bytes in the packet
So Now The Packet is
4c 04 d5 e3 00 00 00 00 30 6b 1e da 00 00 cd
0c 87 43 00 00 7c 43 66 e6 11 c4 00 00 00 00
-Finally-
Take the last 4 bytes it would be 11 55 52 49 for
Advant Gardens and replace the 30 6b 1e da part
in the Nimbus station Packet with the last 4 bytes
of the checksum.
The End
Ok et elle inclura quoi la mise a jour also ?
When exactly will we be able to create and play with our own characters? If this IS implemented, will we still not be able to see other players and their characters?
its hard to tell it could be months or years before this is implemented and even if you’ll create a your own character you will not be able to see other players
Are you sure about that? “even if you’ll create a your own character you will not be able to see other players” creating our own character and meeting other’s creation is 60% part of LU’s experience. could you please work on this and make it happen?
(sad dog face)
Seeing other players is handled by RakNet’s ReplicaManager, which is currently not implemented into the server. In fact, we are currently trying to figure out how to implement it b/c without it NPCS, enemies, and object will not load either.
Answer the Call. Save Imagination.
-Jon002
what about building\creating our own character and name and meeting the others? LU was made for creations and customization. which is the funnest part.
Meeting the others – this requires ReplicaManager.
Ok timtech, so you said “Ill probably make a tutorial by tommorow” but it is a week later and theres no tutorial on your youtube channel, so please make one, and still asking, can I skype you and see whats going on, maybe we could work together on lego universe idk, but lemme know!
There is a basic tutorial on the Q&A page.
Will Creating And Using Your Own Character Ever Become Possible? And When Will We Be Able To Travel?
in the next update you’ll be able to travel to other worlds but for creating character and then use it that would be hard to tell
Ok, And Thanx.
Could someone explain to me how this is lego universe? Someone will create a server, there will have to configure? And already is running the server?
Right now there is no public server; you will have to run one yourself.
When I Load The Game It Works, But When I Select A Character It Starts To Work And Then Glitches Back To The Login Screen. HELP!!!
have you edit the game or anything
Ok That Happens When I Use v0.5 . But When I Use v0.3 it loads up to 35% then stops. ive followed the tutorials correctly, what should i do???
In boot.cfg, is your PATCHSERVERIP=0:cache.legouniverse.com
Yh it is what do i do
I followed your instructions exactly but when I load the LEGOUniverse.exe I see the guy running for a second then it closes. I have the server up but what am I doing wrong?
In boot.cfg, is your PATCHSERVERIP=0:cache.legouniverse.com
Also, make sure you’re using the client from here instead of a broken/patched one from the original LEGO distribution.
When i use server v0.5 i can login and select a character then it gliches back to the login screen, but when i use v0.3 i can get to 35% then it stops. HELP???
Make sure PATCHSERVERIP=0:cache.legouniverse.com
Yh it is but it still doesnt work.
it is what do i do
Try redownloading. It’s all I can think of right now.
Moi sa marche et quand sera la mise a jouer sa inclura a quoi 🙂
Im back and better than ever!
Good! 🙂
Hi Timtech! Soon will be ready server with the opportunity to travel to the worlds?
No, the prototype crashes when loading worlds. 🙁
🙁
but the server with the travel WILL come back.. right?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO alors comment va t-on jouer !
Peut-être modifier directement les paquets va fonctionner. Je vais voir à faire un tutoriel bientôt.
Looks like everything is coming around after the dumped server files. Plus you can make an even better, more popular server with the new checksums, and it looks like some of the luni project devs are coming out of hiding! If we rally and fight together, we can save imagination!
Dumped server files? Do you mean the checksums?
Nope, server files. The reason the server is down, because Microsoft dumped them all because there may or may not have been a virus on the website
I downloaded, updated my boot.cgf but am unable to login. Getting authentication error. I am not running my own server, would like to just connect to the public one. Any advise. Thanks for doing this we are all thrilled as we loved this game!
do you have a public server that people can join???
No, we don’t have enough funds to host it anymore.
That’s the problem, there is no public server anymore. The files got dumped by the website due to a suspected virus
Timtech do we Need for the New Server VS or Not?
Il faut avoir la v05
do you have a public server for people to join???
and also are t here monsters in it i don’t have it yet just wanted to know:)
No to both 🙁 sorry.
I haven’t checked on this project in so long. What worlds are available as of now?
every world but one
Yes, only Keelhaul canyon remains without a known checksum. However, the process of editing the packets is a bit hard for some people…
Timtech you should have beta testing for us people, sso that we can test the server.
He doesn’t need beta testing, he is testing it himself. And currently the tests are not so great, crashing during checksum loads.
TimTech, i have been looking at this for a few weeks now and as I scroll through the posts I see that you lack a development team? I would be willing to contribute to this project as I in lack of one to do. If you are interest please email me, and ill gladly try to fight for imagination as I once did before the sealing of the doors in 2012.
PLEASE ACCEPT HIM! PLLEEASEEE IM BEGGING YOU i think the more the better, im not telling you what to do i just think thats a good idea to add more company .. thanks
God Bless You ALL
Sure, what would you like to help with? I can’t see much more to be done on the server. But if you’d like to help, definitely do!
do i use visual studio 2013 web? or regular?
VS2013 Express for Desktop.
Hey Tim,
You probabbly don’t remember me, but I started looking here in May and wanted to help. When I saw that LUNI fell apart I gave up hope. But now I’m back. If you don’t remember I have a Mac client on my Laptop right now and can give it to you. It’s a couple GBs even zipped though so I’ll need like 24 hours to upload to the internet.
Let me know if you still need me,
huddy
Yes, I am in need of a Mac client. It would be very helpful if you could upload it. Files over 500 MB should be uploaded using File Transfer Protocol. Please install FileZilla, and send me an email at timothy@timtechsoftware.com when you are done.
HURRAH! Finally I can play not on a virtual machine! Thank you for the mac client 🙂
The Mac client does not work as of now. The patcher uses a feature from TransGaming called “Cider” (https://www.transgaming.com/cider) to port the windows code to mac (The file it runs is actually called “legouniverse_mac.exe”). The patcher for both Mac and Windows is broken, so now the only way to open the game is through either “legouniverse.exe” on a Windows machine or “legouniverse_mac.exe” on a Macintosh. Unfortunately, I’ve tried that… Both Wine and CrossOver does not work, so the only way you really can run it on a Mac right now is to set up a virtual machine with Windows, then run it on that. Or decompile the EXE, reverse-engineer the assembly/psuedo-code (I actually don’t think that’s possible with C++), then recreate the client EXE for Mac….. Or you can try to figure out how to use the Cider technology, then implement it in a new patcher (It would be expensive though… I don’t believe TransGaming gives this technology away for free…)
Answer the Call. Save Imagination.
-Jon002
So are you suggesting that I shouldn’t bother uploading it?
If you want to, sure! The Mac client contains certain files only available with the Mac version of LU. I’m just saying its not possible to run it right now with the Mac OS (I’ve tried…. It hasn’t gone so well….) But by all means, upload it (that is, if you want to).
Answer the Call. Save Imagination.

How can i login into the game but it says username and password i dont have one WHAT CAN I DO PLZ HELP
Any user/pass combination will work.
I did it says Lu wont login you in
please try again later and i did and noting plz help
I did that and it didnt work
what did i did wrong plz help
Ok I did everything Am in the charcter List but which I select a charcter it frozen at 35% what can i do plz help
Which server and client version did you download?
I download 0.5 version and i download windows client
Is your PATCHSERVERIP=0:cache.legouniverse.com
When I try to launch LUNI Server in the Debug folder it says: I can’t open it couse MSVCP120D.dll is missing…
It also says I should reinstall and I tryied it but, it didn’t work so please can anyone tell me what to do!!! Couse I wanna play my favorite game agian!!!
Your problem is that you have failed to install Visual Studio 2013.
Do we have to install Visual Studio 2013
or not
you have to install it
Yes, it is required to run the server.
Ok But where do I put Visual Studio 2013
Plus can someone make a video and tell me the link I dont know what to do I REALLY WANNA PLAY I MISS THIS GAME
What’s your Skype name? I can’t make official videos quite yet but I can help you via Skype still
hey i made a youtube channel and posted a tutorial. youtube channel is “Lego Universe Now” and video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LX8SnacR5uM&feature=youtu.be
Hey so this is like the greatest idea ever, but I have a few questions.
1. What is a checksum?
2. Given enough time, do you think that this game will ever be multiplayer?
Thanks a ton
-nils
1. A checksum is a small string of data that is computed from the file (e.g. LU map) at release, which is computed again when you try to load the map so you can’t play with modifications or older versions of the map.
2. No, I do not. But who knows?
Feel free to ask any more questions you might have.
1. A checksum is a value to check that the data is correct.
2. Yes.
i made a youtube channel called “lego universe now”, it will be dedicated to this project: posting updates, tutorials, and playthroughs of the emulator. i dont ask for subscriptions, likes, anything like that. i just want to help people who need it. i already posted a video tutorial for those of you who asked for one. this one has my voice though, so i can hopefully simplify it a bit more with my skilled expert narration (sarcasm intended).
Thanks dude your the best
Cool, as long as your videos link here, I will link there for good tutorials to give people.
Could I Advertise this on youtube ?
Yes, as long as you provide links to this page in your videos.
hey tim, on my youtube a person said the LUNI Server actually SHUT DOWN on him. im not sure if he means it crashed or closed or what. have you heard of this problem? i haven’t.
so, can anyone tell me whats new? (if anything is that is =P)
all the checksums have been released (except for 1). the new checksum server is in development.
when i try starting up the server, i get this…. MSVCP120D.dll is missing.
Help?
did you download and install visual studio?
yup…
This is very strange, what version of VS did you download?
Download the one I linked in my video. Visual studio express 2013 desktop. I had a problem with installing it, but second time around it finished. It might not have finished installing, so open vs and see if it all works
I have been able to play on luni, but where is and what file format are the 3d graphics files in the luni server? They have to be somewhere? Where are the world graphical files (Avant Gardens, etc)
That is all contained in the client.
Tim how much would it cost for you to develop this server full time ?
Without more packets, there is no more development, paid or not.
You don’t necessarily need more packets. You need a way to save any packets the client sends when you perform an action. Then you look at the packet and try to determine what the client is sending for that action.
Even with more packets, you still have to go through them and determine what was happening at the time and make a list of “codes,” what they do, and what information they contain.
Either way, it takes a while.
What do you think, decryption packet wise, will NEVER be possible?
Multiplayer, since it is not a matter of decrypting packets (at least to start), it requires a ReplicaManager to process and supply all entities to multiple users simultaneously.
A replica manager is also required for all the enemies, quickbuilds, NPCs, scenery, etc. So a replica manager has to be implemented for this project to advance. It would actually be easier to implement multiple players being able to see each other than all the other things a replica manager does since the “codes” for the other items have to be determined and cataloged.
Is development still taking place? I thought most of the packets were already used to implement authentication, etc.
Yes, people are still working on it. We just are not doing anything with raffa and his petty dictatorship. From the looks of it, he is still just adding piddly BS updates – like his latest of being able to “travel” by typing in a command.
There are still plenty of packets. But they really are only useful in determining what they mean, contain, etc. so they won’t do the public any good.
Because you don’t have the encryption key for these, right?
*GASP* it is THE pwjones! Are you continuing to decrypt packets and develop the game? That would be awesome, to have rocket travel and quickbuilds (I never really liked the enemy npc’s, annoying buggers). No rush or anything.
The packets are all decrypted. Humanoid24 and lcdr are still developing the game. They are much better programmers than I will ever be.
Is their current developmental state further along than what is currently available to the public? I just want to see what’s new, like more mini figures at nimbus station or rocket travel (I really want rocket travel, my favorite area is advant gardens)
