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.

when only one player can play with your account then all other players must be wait … ?
are in your lego universe server more accounts for players ? and when i do a new account then are stay in internet —> Not Found
HTTP Error 404. The requested resource is not found.
The accounts officially stored in the LEGO database are no longer in use. Accounts are not required, and any username and password will work.
IS this correct? AUTHSERVERIP=0:localhost or is it supposed to be that lu hopto one?
If you would connect to the public server (which is not in use anymore), then it would be lu.hopto.org. But, since all servers must now be privately hosted, it is correct to have AUTHSERVERIP=0:localhost
Hi, I installed the program and rewrote the boot.cfg file, and I could open lego universe, but i could not log in. i found multiple walkthroughs but none of those logins worked. is there one that will?
Make sure you have the server running.
What client? A folder, the server client, the game? And what is the format of the files? Is it encoded?
The client is the game, packaged in a .zip format that you can extract.

As much as I want to know how he did this, all the projects are dead, I give up until get/hire a group of Devs. Too bad…. Oh well, least I’ll get one of my favorite games back! (Pirates Online Rewritten)
But then again, we have hackers……ugh.
he retextured the game, thats it. he probably got it from timtech since raffa would never allow someone to make it public like that
Raffa’s kind of lost all his power, as no one is working with him any more.
Ah, yes, but I don’t know how he got into the game like that(Unless he actually altered it using photoshop)
Pretty sure he just switched textures around a bit.
Switched the textures…
Not only are you [censor] other peoples programs but you and your friend Robowarrior have [censor]!
Here’s the other thing, Raffa has the [censor] source code and unlike someone over here he can actually understand and program C++. If you TRULY want this game to make any sort of comeback I would suggest you two make nice real [censor] soon.
I know you are going to see this and weather you [censor] this post or not is not my business. Just know that you and you alone have stopped the development of this project so far.
Congratulations, [censor].

Great Jimmy, why don’t you help out. I don’t see you paying to host everyone’s files… trust me, if I removed them raffa would have no client, no community.
@Timtech
If we are ever going to continue making LU, then we will most likely need somewhere where we can split up the work between people online. I’ve found two website packages called fengoffice and groupoffice. With them you can assign tasks and all that stuff.
there are 2 people remaking and developing lego universe, timtech makes servers for them and makes them public for the whole world to enjoy. this setup works pretty well, since making servers from scratch isn’t exactly easy.
“this person also violates other copyrights (not just mine).” well if you want to play that game yours violated the copyrights of the LEGO company just as much as this. and exactly what copyright did you have? did you copyright the rights to copyright infringe others’ copyrights?
That’s what raffa said in the DMCA about this project; you’ll have to ask him.
Seriously, what happened to the server? Looks like everyone can enter LUNI Server but me. Weird.
The public server is gone; you will have to run your own server.
Is there any chance for re-opening anything?
Not really. The new server requires a bit of user interaction to work, meaning that a public server would be impractical.
say uh… If things are really starting to look up then do you think you can add stuff? i say start out with small things such as rockets music and quick builds. then the rest of the content can be added soon enough. (i’m assuming that thats a no).
I play on a Mac, does this software of LU support mac os x?
No; the client used to, but it was broken when the LEGO Company closed the game. Now it works only for Windows. The server will also run exclusively on Windows.
You could always get one of those virtual windows platform things and run it there.
Yep, that’s the only solution as of now.
So when are you gonna upgrade the server to something other then VNS? i would like to use hamatchi for this server.
You know that the disclaimer says “[[removed]]” rather than “General Public License” right?
@Timtech
There is a service that hosts vps servers for free. It is called GuHat. Check it out please and tell me if what you think of it because then you might be able to host the LU server on it.
BTW can I promote a free website hosting service through a discreet banner in a signature in my posts?
The service looks very fishy to me. And I don’t really like advertising, would you mind telling me more about this free website hosting service?
The website hosting service is called 000Webhost and they host paid and free websites. I have an account with them and I find their service good for my standards. They have cpanel, mysql databases, an email service with your domain name, 100GB ROM and a high website traffic allowance. (And no ads). I use a few other services as well but this one is good.
Yeah, but no. I see that affiliate page 🙂 You might as well stick to a different site for advertising that, sorry.
:'(. Oh Well. Guess I’ll have to advertise it on the minecraft forums.
i don’t know how to start 0.5 server
Start LUNI Server.exe (it’s in the Debug folder).
Ok i start server but i can play only on nimbus_isle, with i play on other map i get an message: client disconnected please download manifest acess!
OK i play lego universe!
please update client.
when you work in client please add monsters, fix rocket error, add moneys and fix a (character creator): when i create character i can’t play game!
@Timtech
Does VS have to be running while the server is running?
No, it only needs to be installed.
OK i downloaded the latest client and server, but i can only play cheeky monkey. any other crashes with a white screen and monkey brown gives a error about downloading assets of some sort. what?
And you have PATCHSERVERIP=0:cache.legouniverse.com correct?
If it wasn’t, I wouldn’t even be able to play cheeky monkey. This is getting irritating, as I can’t find what’s wrong. I’m not sure if it’s a bug affecting all computers or just mine, as I have no way of checking.
Yes you could… the client we are offering does not have all the necessary .pk files for the new maps, meaning that if it needs some, it will go to cache.legouniverse.com to try to get them.
Maybe cache.legouniverse.com is no longer available (shut down). That would explain quite a bit, and would suck…
I’m building a new computer in a few weeks anyways, if the file size is even 300 gigs for all the maps I could easily hold it (1TB hard drive), then I could host a public port forwarded IP server for those who can’t hold all the map data to localhost.
Please do host a server.
Maybe we will.
Will this server ever be online so i can play with other people?
Even if the public server was still up, you could not see other players when they played 🙁
I got a problem with the multiplayer server setup, Error number R6010. And when I retrying it’s crash. PLEASE HELP ME!!!! 😀
The server has probably been moved away from necessary files (maybe config.ini)?
Nevermind
Have you considered that Chache.legouniverse.com is offline, or even shut down? In that case you should compile a server with all the pk files for people who want to host servers for those who don’t have enough disc space.
I do have enough disc space. BTW, How do I turn it on? (If this is possible)
That is way too vague of a question. I have a video tutorial that shows how to set it all up on YouTube. My channel is “lego universe now”, I haven’t uploaded recently due to bugs with my computer (or cache.legouniverse.com) but the tutorial works nonetheless.
Thanks, you tutorial really helps!!
Before you say I missed a step, I made sure that I followed all the instructions correctly and also ensured that I had the client and server installed. I have the server running perfectly, no errors, but when I open the game it just goes to the white screen with the minifigure, then shuts off without even a crash notice. Any advice?
Missing .pk files, almost 100% positive of this. This issue has been a major one due to the removal of cache.legouniverse.com.
Ok, I got it working, but now when I try to log in it just sends me back to the sign in screen like I restarted the game. Is there a problem with the server?
Ok finally got that out of the way, but now I’m stuck loading. Whenever I try to load Nimbus Station or Crux Prime, it sticks on 1%, and for other worlds it just crashes. I think this is probably a problem with cache.legouniverse.com.
Yes, cache.legouniverse.com is down. I may be uploading a new client.
Sweet, thanks
Ok, I checked to see if all my .pk files are present, which they are, but the worlds still won’t load. Should I just wait for the new client, or is there something I’m missing?
BTW, this goes to everyone (who asks 🙂 ): cache.legouniverse.com no longer exists. It has been removed by LEGO.

I was gonna say… no way to post an alternate, eh?
I said it first :p the detective startreklover strikes again!
^Awesome! 🙂
@TimTech, there’s really no way to recreate a new one, mainly because we do not know at ALL how the original was setup, other than small bits of data from the client logs. If you really wanted to try, though, you possibly modify your “hosts” file to redirect “cache.legouniverse.com” to “localhost” (or another server IP) and use logs/other resources to try to recreate it.
Answer the Call. Save Imagination.
-Jon002
Right, but was it Apache? FTP? I think you’re right about not knowing enough to do this.
We all knew this was coming, they weren’t going to keep the cache server up forever. Do we have the .pk files for all of the worlds? Or do we have just nimbus isle to play on? (The nimbus isle guy still loads in, his pk. Files come with the client.)
http://timtechsoftware.com/lu/LEGO%20Universe/Windows/client/res/pack/
This can be updated as necessary.
Is this a new cache.legouniverse.com? If so what should I change PATCHSERVERIP to?
For now there is no patch server IP, though I guess you could localhost if you have all the .pk files in the right spots, though that would take massive ammounts of data, lots of gigs to go around! You can still play nimus isle without a patchserverip (cheekymonkey) in the meantime.
Nimbus Isle still gets stuck at 1%. I’m going to try to find my old copy of LU and use the .pk files from there.
No, there is currently no PATCHSERVERIP.
So, are you going to release a new client, or should I toy with the .pk files and make a tutorial on how to mod the basic one yourself?
Well, I’m not sure if I have all the .pk files myself. We could go .pk file collecting 😛
lets go ask pwjones. any idea how to contact him?
@Timtech
Could you make a cache for the .pk files?
Actually timtech that is a really good idea for those who don’t have the disc space. The problem is finding a hosting website and funding it.
I would if I knew how… but I have no idea how the client requests the files.
@Timtech
Why cache.legouniverse.com has been removed?
cache.legouniverse.com it was removed because the think the Game LU don’t play anything alls…
Also it costs money to host a server, and since LU is not a game any longer, way pay to host a server you don’t need?
Answer the Call. Save Imagination.
-Jon002
That’s right, this is also why my unofficial public server is not up right now.
When is the new LU Server finish???
TEST
PATCHSERVERIP=0:http://www.lego.com/en-us/
or
PATCHSERVERIP=0:legouniverse.com
The patch server does not matter right now for the server. It mainly allowed the patcher to check if all files were up to date, and, if they were not, download the new ones, as well as update the game of you had it set to “High-speed download” (I think that’s what it’s called) instead of “Full Download”. Changing PATCHSERVERIP will do nothing to make the server work. The only real part of boot.cfg you should worry about the the AUTHSERVERIP. As for the .PK files, I uploaded those, and my client works perfectly… Maybe one of the files is corrupted..?
Answer the Call. Save Imagination.
-Jon002
Ok, I thought differently at first… but now I realize it may be corrupted files. You say the .pk files you uploaded were assets to get to any world?
Jon send your client to Tim, it will save him a lot of time so he won’t have to dig around for the corrupted files.
Actually, he is the one to upload both asset folders, and it may be my fault the archive is corrupted (or missing .pk files, I haven’t checked).
so do i just delete and re download the client? or is it not fixed/ re-uploaded yet?
I’m not exactly sure of what everyone is experiencing… What would you say is the main problem right now?
Answer the Call. Save Imagination.
-Jon002
^Mainly because I really don’t want to search through all these comments right now 🙂
Answer the Call. Save Imagination.
-Jon002
Mainly people failing to download manifest assets, or being redirected suddenly back to the login screen. I think my client .zip may be at fault and I am going to upload another one today.
By the way, do you think we could get LUNI Server compiled to release? I get too many errors…
I’ve tried that before… I’m not the most skilled in C++, so I’m really sure… I may try to take a look at it tomorrow…. See what the errors are.
Answer the Call. Save Imagination.
-Jon002
Some with Raknet too, since it’s an older library version…
Still dont get it how do i start a public server could anyone help :/
The public server isn’t up.
@Timtech
He is asking how to make a server because he still doesn’t understand how to make on even after reading the server setup guide. Not if your server is still up.
Oh. What part do you not understand? @Gabriel
is the links safely?
uhm can you revive a game called brawl busters? it was so awesome D:
It’s all about supply and demand. Timtech was smart realizing we needed lego universe back (demand) so he made the emulator public (supply). If that game was extremely popular, then I can garuntee an emulator will be made eventually.
So I wanted to know,
When are the other worlds accesable?
And when are we able to create our own characters?
Cheers.
You can currently do both by editing the packets. World access beyond the four current ones will be coming in the next update (?) and character creation (to play with them) is not planned/possible.
When you do come out with travel, will it be like rocket travel (animation, click and drag rocket to platform, etc) or will it be something like a teleporting command?
It will be really basic… you’ll be typing a world ID into command prompt to move packets around.
You should first make the basic stuff! Equipment, Characters, monsters and worlds. Then the animals! Thank you!
That will probably come after this update. Nobody can even play on most of the worlds at the moment. Plus I would rather have travel between the worlds than Equipment and NPCs, but after travel that would probably be next on my list =D
What must we do to play LU without the patchserverip???
If you want to local host, you need to have ALL the .pk files. I’m guessing the new patchserverip will be ready soon, if not.
Sorry to break it to you, but I think we’re going to make do with no PATCHSERVERIP (thanks goes to Jon002 for pointers). I’m pretty sure something got corrupted with the old client. I’m seeing about revamping this project client-wise so
weI can resume working on a server. Right now, I’m not even trying to work on a server…Also we/you are working on a patchserver or???
No, I believe it is not necessary.
What we do then???
I’m working on it.
To have fun, monsters, and the combat system should be made first.
Then the equipment and then the worlds.
For a good Game!
Why? You need worlds to do all that stuff!
Why do so many people have to talk about ideallic plans for the far future when we are actually facing the problem of maybe missing some .pk files (and a cache for them) and therefore (in most cases) not being able to host any worlds publicly or even privately.
I’m uploading a new client right now. In a day or two, this should be fixed. (And a public server, if stuff works out).
Do you mean in a pair of days can we play LU with you client how it was???
Hopefully so.
It would be funny if the solution turned out to be very simple. Like you need to change one line of code for everything to work.
I hope it’s not a tiny error like that, it’ll be like finding a needle in a haystack. If he wants to find the error hope it’s a big easy to detect one
are you working on making a public server if you are can you say when its made and also when will you be adding monsters to the game
I’m raising funds for the server, but currently no one has donated. I’ll hopefully be making the server in a few days.
SWEET! I hope this takes off! i have not played LU since 2012 (like a lot of people. :P)
Ok I’ll download the new client and see if it all works again. How much space does it take up? Cuz I might need to make some disc space (or buy a new drive if it’s big enough)
Delete the old to make way for the new? It’s like 100 MB smaller or something.
this new patch didn’t help, its still crashing to a white screen…
So does this new client allow access to all four worlds again? If not, what does it do that the old one didn’t?
It should…
The public server might return? OOOH! I HOPE IT HAPPENES! 😀
Timtech Status:Do you come on???
So i downloaded the new client. But every time i try to connect to nimbus station, it disconnects me… plz help!
You can’t play it at the moment, you can only play cheekymonkey
good thing i have a older version. 😛
ok the checksum thing works, but after i start playing the game, it proceeds to crash back to login after, oh say 20 seconds, maximum? possibly too many bytes? idk im confused. its true with any world (on cheekymonkey), after a certain ammount of time ingame, it just crashed back to login.
No the problem is that we don’t have a ptachserver so the Game restart…
I know what I’m talking about. The game starts if you play on cheekymonkey. My question is why it shuts down after an ammount of time in game. I edited cheekymonkey to play on avant gardens, and he does, for 20 seconds, give or take a few, before crashing back to login screen.
It is the Patchserver… Because we don’t have a Ptachserver the Game shows so you have the new Version if you don’t have the new Version or no resend come in the Game reboot…
Look, I can actually play on worlds for a select ammount of time. That means I don’t need a patchserverip, since he patch server only extracts files when you need them. The problem is that AFTER playing on them for about 20 seconds. It’s about a minute on nimbus isle. If you need proof I can post a video of what happens.
I know what you mean and this is the patchserver… I have the problem in past too I ask TimTech and he said I must do the patchserverip from localhost to cahe.legouniverse.com after that it works…
I have all the .pk files, rendering a patchserver useless to me. The patchserver gives you .pk files if you don’t already have them, which means that once you have the files, you can run that world without the patch server. Your problem may have been that you were missing .pk files, but I have all of them, yet it still crashes on EVERY world after an ammount of time, which leads me to believe that the new client has a bug.
Nooooo, I don’t missing .pk files after I change the IP it works but so your right the patchserver where the .pks but it is so then do you load the World he check that can go long time… if you have all new .pk files, the patchserveripis false so no connection, he try it again 3 times, after that he reboot the Game and say download many fest assest…
Who is “he”?
The new client is not bugged, but I may have edited vital files, changing their checksum and making them “outdated”. This new “hybrid” client has been tested not to crash.
I’ve been away, what is new?
I see there is a new client? Is it necessary to download?
No, don’t download it. I see it has problems too. I am uploading another to fix them all! 😛
i hope, i waited too long to do the final playthrough lvl on my YouTube. plus if the new client needs a different tutorial i can do that as well, im finally getting comfortable behind the mic
No, the Mac client is the way to go. It’s seriously the only one that works on Windows!
Wait…… the MAC client works on WINDOWS?
BTW I think I could get us some AI help.
Sounds weird, but it’s true… I’ll fix up stuff tomorrow.
Just for future reference, both the Mac and the Windows versions of LU used the exact same assets, so the windows assets ARE the mac assets, and vice versa. The only thing different was some of the client files (legouniverse.exe and legouniverse_mac.exe are slightly different in size as well as there were some DLL files on one that were not on the other). Mac used transgaming’s “cider” to port the game to Mac, but the asset files (videos, audio, PK files, aka all files under /client/res) are the same across both OSes.
Answer the Call. Save Imagination.
-Jon002
I know Jon… it’s just I messed up the Windows client, so I was like, oh! The Mac client still works! What I forgot is that I could just re-download the files you uploaded, due to the fact I can mass download easily through FTP. Which I have just done, in fact.
Ah! Makes sense.
Answer the Call. Save Imagination.
-Jon002
Okay, so I’m setting a public server for me and my friends, but whenever I run it it crashes! It works fine when redirect_ip=local host, but when I change it to my IP address, it crashes. I have my ports set up right, is the problem that I don’t have enough space on my commputer? Also, I changed AUTHSERVERIP to my ip, and it worked both ways(as in the different redirect_ips)
redirect_ip=12.34.56.78 (that format)?
Make sure you have static IP and ports set up correctly…
when i try to play it starts loading the world and then it says client disconnected connection failed downloading manifest assets this is after i select my character what do i do
I know, I’m sorry. I messed up. Today there will be a new client that I have actually tested out.
Timtech is in the new Client the server there in the Client or must we download the server extra??? Can we play with player together???
No, the server is a separate download. And no, you cannot interact with other players connected to the same server.
Do you make that we can play with another players???
Do we need for the new Version of the Server VB2013 or not??? When yes then make the Debug so that we don’t need VB2013 it gives a patch…
Well, if there is a public server, you will not need Visual Studio at all. But otherwise, you will need 2013 or later to run the server yourself.
Can you send a link???
There is no new server version, sorry.
Can we have the Server for free or???
What do you mean what for 2013 I need???
Oh jet I understand sorry…
But, two questions I have…
Can we have the Server for free or???
and
Do you make the Server so that we can play with antoher player together???
In the “All in one update, access to all maps? I mean worlds?
If the server works, yes. (The client is capable of it).
OH BOY! ALL THE MAPS! EXCITED! EXCITED! Now if only we could build. <3
Wait….. @Timtech do you mean a world switcher? Becuase we already have all the maps 😛
Yeah but whatever client’s throwing errors now, so 😐
How will you switch the worlds?
Server-side, by changing the world ID and checksum in the packet.
loads to 33% then crashes… failed to download manifest assets or something.
nvm it works now, but no matter who i pick, i go to nimbus isle. i assume this is to make it easier changing worlds?
This is with 0.5, I know, I’m very confused also.
Ok so I’m pretty sure we are missing some world files, when I entered the Avant gardens checksum, manifest asset failure. When I enter the nimbus isle one, works perfectly. I haven’t tested others yet.
Not exactly. For places like Gnarled Forest, yes we are missing files. But the only “missing” files right now, are a couple of music file, which I have downloaded and used, which had no effect on the problem people are having.
