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.

Okay, so my client is for Timtech, but anyone may download and try to use it. The features listed above are for the client I’m going to release in a few days, this is the rough draft. 🙂 These files will only be up for a month. The client will be hosted from my wiki, but I’m letting Timtech take a look at them.
Review: IS NOT COMPLETE YET
I am proud to announce my new client will be coming out SOON! I am calling it the “Green Light” client, and here are some features…
All sound files, already installed.
Never have to download a new client again(unless custom) as this one has all the files.
(Possibly, haven’t tested outside of my computer) Allows public servers to work.
Basically, this is the finished LU client, and you can find it on my wiki soon, or just download the main files from here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5ef2edu79l3cnuo/LU%20MAC.zip?dl=0
REMEMBER, IT DOESNT WORK YET.
You are welcome to use this client Timtech, it will be on my wiki too, just tell who uploaded it.
Post all bugs
Timtech, thanks for answering my last post, but here is my prob. I can’t find the file that launches the client. I am using the ORIGINAL client, should I just copy and paste the method of the restored client into it? You know, awesomeness or whatever. I can’t find legouniverse.exe anywhere, did the devs just make it up? The is the origanal mac client.
Tristan, is your client just like LUNI, minus the updates? Also, make an accont so I can private message you.
Ok just wanna double check here. To find the line of code that loads packets. I go to the LU server files. Go into Luni Server file. Then open WorldLoop.cpp. The thing saying direct to .bin should be there?
Yes. Just select it manually.
rgds,
TheNyJan
Someone upload their WorldLoop file I cannot find that anywhere lol
TIMTECH CODE RED.
My server isent done. I cant seem to start it, I need the restored to study, can you post the link again. Untill then DONT LET PEOPLE DOWNLOAD!!!!!
YES!!! Okay, got it to work. DELETE THAT LINK. BURN IT. I will upload the RIGHT, WORKING client tomorrow afternoon if I can.
Tristan, I’ve got a really epic idea for your server (automated synchronization of player stats over multiple servers), do you have Skype (or any other live messenger, e.g. Teamspeak)? If yes, just email your name to Maddingaming@web.de or answer here ^^
rgds,
TheNyJan
Skype = live:theepictristan
Twitter = @theepictristan
Good news, my new client, the Nexus Client, will be uploading soon. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THE GREENLIGHT. Download this FINISHED client 🙂 It will be uploading at around lunchtime 🙂 So Timtech, could you please host these files? I don’t have space on dropbox for more than 1 month? Just put by CDFalcon like you did last time, and there yours! 🙂 I can keep up the audio files though(not that anyone will need them) 😉
Yes, give me a few days or a week, and it will be hosted by me 😉
Thanks, you just saved me tons of money 🙂
HERE IS THE LINK(may still be uploading)
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/xbrktcwy0w2toe5/AAArZS81dVcRpluSJGE6oGC7a?dl=0
NEXUS CLIENT 1.0
What is so speacial about your client? I mean what is diffrent to Timtechs Client?
Well, this client comes with the audio files already installed, so all worlds. Also, this has all the mac files, so you won’t have to update. Btw, Timtech will be using this client, so it is “Timtech’s”, just made by me. 😉
Wait so we can play all the worlds with their music?
Correct on the first try.
Does this fix the missing sound problem? I have music but that’s it oddly.
yes 🙂 This is the finished client.
Dont download audio, wait for Nexus Client(4 gigs) It is still uploading as of now.
The file is done uploading 🙂 Have fun.
Wow, you’ve got fast internet :O Mine would take like 3 days for 4 gigs.
rgds,
TheNyJan
IKR 🙂 And that was my slow computer. My mac can do it half that time 😉
So the sound all works fine now? Like the smashing sound effects work? Because on nimbus station with the npc’s and smashables on the guy without the jetpack, his attacks didn’t make noise or the smashing of the models. Same with jumping.
On my Restored client, the smashing and attack sounds work (But I don’t know how I installed the files), do you want it or do these work already?
rgds,
TheNyJan
I haven’t tested the sounds, but they should work 🙂
Mine would take a week or two. 😛
Can anyone answer, does this have NPC’s to fight because I want to host it possibly but noone will play it without NPC’s…
No, NPC’s can not be interacted with, although they can be spawned.
So Tim, how is the server going? Will it be up soon?
I also have and idea for LUNI. We can have a logo and make that logo show up as the game starts. I already know where the picture of bob running is.
Where, what fornat? o_O
If you look in client/res its in there
No, the servers aren’t working, sorry. Some glitch. 🙁
I should have realized that the Nexus Client was just for mac (Is it? It’s what the file names imply…) and seems to be what I already have. Also, should it take 3 hours to get 2% on the world load for Crux Prime for the first time?
No, it’s for Windows too. It just includes the extra audio that was left out of the “restored” client. And no, that loading time is not normal. Are you hosting the server on the same computer?
Ah thanks for clarifying that. Yes, I’m running the server software on the same computer I am using the client on; I don’t see a reason to make things more complicated by running a public server at the moment…
Slow loading: at this time it’s been loading for 5 hours an has loaded: 3%. Kind of a fail. I’m not sure why, but I have updates I have not installed into my computer yet, I’m not sure if they will help but I will install them all anyway, which will sadly force me to restart my computer and try again from the beginning. It may be that I’m missing some tiny file, so since I have CDFalcon’s Nexus Client I can cross-check them both to see if I’m missing something. If neither the updates or the file checking works, I’m not exactly sure what I would do next, besides possibly checking my wifi speed and connection times, although I’m not sure if that matters with a locally hosted server. (I’m pretty sure that’s what your 0.5 server is, since it listens on the ports and the changes send the boot config to localhost) That’s all I know about it right now. I do hope what the problem is can be discovered…Oh and this was addressed to both you, Timtech, and you, CDFalcon…
Yep, corrupted files. Try a redownload
Alright, same thing happened to me. I don’t know if I should re-download, most of the worlds already work. Unless this is a finished client… Is it?
Yes, it is only for windows. Also, please post about the loading thing? I want to fix it if it is a bug.
So, updates did not work, my next test will be to simply use the Nexus Client and change ITS files, since they should all be correct. (The slowness was during my own files)
OHHH, okay.
Ah yeah sorry if you thought there was a problem with yours. Anyway, the files you uploaded are 100% perfect (As far as I know) It loaded fast (So that must have been a file issue too) and the pink characters on the main page was also fixed. Thanks for uploading your client, and thanks Tim for trying to help me get set up.
Um, are there mobs to fight? I.E stromlings, dark ronin?
No.
Hey Timtech, I was exploring Nimbus Station, and was wondering, when on a public server, can you see the other person’s name if you both try to enter the battle for nimbus station at the same time? Or is there no link between players at all?
There is no relation that is transmitted to the other player.
Here is the link to my new Dropbox page for my audio files, in case someone doesn’t want to have to download the Nexus client again 🙂
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/way0almaz5ilbas/AABJo9XQWXuBJcMYYt53DFhta?dl=0
I have a problem with the new client it wont let me Decompress the file (its for mac only apparently) it wont work on windows and i have windows 7 64 Bit please fix this problem timtech or you CDFalcon. XP
Hmm, I does for me and my friends, try a download.
Hey Tristan, will you join my wiki sometime soon?
I personally am probably am probably going to stick with the Official LUNI Wiki, for a bit, just because Timtech’s is a bit more… formal and I don’t trust wiki-spaces.
Why don’t you trust wiki spaces?
Very true, timtech is MUCH more formal, my wiki is mainly for INSTANT response and basic setups.
Like mechanical issues and tutorials
Correct.
Let me clarify some thing. The Nexus client works for Windows or mac(with a virtual machine)
Files may have been corrupted during download, so wait and try again. Thanks
Hey Timtech, did you look over the Green Light client? I know it didn’t work, but it did have EVERY SINGLE ORIGANAL MAC LU FILE. It still might be usful for devs?
The CDFalcon public server is online. I dont think it will work still, but could someone with the Nexus client try it out?
I’ll try later like lunchtime
Hey Timtech, been awhile.
I just have a few quick questions. Are all the necessary files for LU included in the launcher download (the one by CDFalcon)? I also wanted to know how much would donations speed up the development process for LUNI.
Yes, all files are included(minus the server)
Are the sound files included? I’ve started it up, yet I get no sound.
Lol, that’s a common glitch, look on my setup page of my wiki to see the solution.
So as you said that all the worlds and sounds work. Are you going to work on mobs, npc’s and other things now?
I am working on decoding character customization, via hex editing. We are already working on npc’s
Where can I find the packets to do trial and error with?(Git a lot of time right now, want to make use of it!) And how would I go about sending the packet to the….client?
Just thought I would try it, not my area of expertise(Seriously, I just passed C Basic like a month or two ago.)
Lol, look at the Q&A section of my forum. It’s basically DEVOTED to packets lol 😛
Thanks, that’s a page I have not visited in a while…
Can I do something? Like if anyone new comes across this project and asks bombards questions like ” Is LU gonna be 100% back? Or will there be NPC’s or gimmie teh full gamez! ” But if it’s important ether the Devs or TimTech can answer it * I’m not cut out for important stuff! >.< * As of now I'm making a Gmail account dedicated for this project to answer the questions people have to ask, Just to ease the pain and distractions for the Devs and helpers working on the project. May I be allowed to do this?
I say let TimTech do the official formal stuff, or share the account password and username with him.
Ok… guess ill wait and watch over for the next update or something.
It’s OK if you help people with their problems; I just like keeping everything on this site.
I have a lot of people asking me stuff on YouTube. It’s like the didn’t even watch the video, they just scrolled and immediately commented.
http://luni.freeforums.net/
Admin control will be given to TimTech, on your screens it will not show the finished product, I have yet to go “live”
Ahh, Never mind, free forums aren’t any good..
CDFalcon usually i can get into your server ^above you said you need someone to test it so I did with the Nexus client. Is your server on?
What do you mean “get on”?
Test it.
If you don’t understand my slang from the south I’m sorry.
lol, im from it(the south), just wanted to make sure.
Timtech, how do you spawn the npc’s? Even if you can’t interact with them.
Edit the packets, it’s a bit un-documented though.
Hey HappyAngryCatfish
check this out http://legouniversenewlyimagined.wikispaces.com/Packet+Decoding
Okay so what this page is is a page where packet decoders can choose what packets they want to be decoding, so others aren’t working on the same ones lol. You can also post all your finds here. If someone wants to decode packets, just make an account and join my wiki. I will be decoding monkeybrown’s packets.
ALL DECODERS MUST ORGANIZE THEIR DECODING PROCESS SO OTHERS CAN USE WHAT THEY FIND.
Count me in! (Though, I’ll have to wait for the weekend)
Okay, so basically from whats above, I am making a packet decoding team for my wiki. RoboWarrior, i know you wanted to decode them, do you want to join? If anyone does, just post here. I will be on the team.
Yeah, I do want help out, though I really only have lots of time on weekends.
Sweet! Glad to have you. On the page, post what char you want to decode,I’m doing monkeybrown, you can do any of the others.
I want to help. What should I do?
What characters are taken?
monkey brown.
Ok, thanks TheNyJan for a) supporting my client b) helping me with an AWESOME feature and c) saving my work. lol xD
I’m going away THIS SUNDAY for two weeks, so if you could please add me on skype (live:theepictristan) and send any suggestions there so I can work while I’m away.
Hopefully I can release it as a christmas prezzie!! XD
Sweet, looking forward to it! Also, join the wiki so you can edit your page.
Timtech, I don’t think my packets are changing anything. How can I be sure they are being loaded?
@CDFalcon I’m beginning to understand this just one more thing before I start trying this out lol, so we go to a line of code with our chat in it in the WorldLoop file and replace it with….? Like the char packets are like lots of them don’t quite get that.
Exactly, you replace it with one file(MUST BE ON THE SAME FOLDER) that using the packets, edit the packets, then start the game.
So let me get this straight. Is CDFalcon making a team to decode the player packets for player customization and playing with the customized player? If thats whats happening, I would love to join.
I am trying, but am not sure it will work. But I think it will. I am warning you though, this is not an easy task. It takes forever, and results take even longer. But the real devs need it to happen, so I’m helping it along.
If you want to help, just post your username. Also, a player won’t be able to customize their charaters easily, it will take HEX editing to happen.
My log for packets
https://www.dropbox.com/home/LUNI./Packet%20Log
What’s that?
A log of what files I have edited, I would recommend keeping one like it.
Could you use mediafire? It is forcing me to make an account.
It shouldn’t.
Forcing me to make an account to.
Could you make this non account need able so I can see it?
Yep, I’ll get on it.
Hey everyone. This is still Brandon. I decided to change my username to Techtrix so I’ll be using that from now on instead of Brandon 🙂
So say I’m editing CheekyMonkey I find the line of code. Go to character Packets pick packet 23 and replace the WorldLoop code with the stuff in 23?
I think so, that’s kinda how my server client works.
NO! All you have to do is place the file 23 in the server file world, go into WorldLoop, and change .//world//int_2(or something like that) to the files name, 23. KEEP THE .bin
So you start with .\\world\\int_24(orsomethinglikethat) and end up with this:
.\\world\\23c.bin
So you redirect it to the packets? How does that work because the packets aren’t even implemented into anything
The packets are implanted.
I did a seperate download of the packets a while back.
Lol, no way 😉 They are already in the server, that directing them allows changing.
Sooooo that just changed a lot, so where do I find these server implemented packets, because I take it I need to edit these instead of my other ones to start decoding.
LOL!!!!! That line of code LOADS THE FILES THAT YOU DOWNLOADED!!! Just put in the right folder. It replaces the files already in the server.
What folder do I put them in?
File “world” in Debug.
Here is my new link ro my log for packets:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/5mg1w0i20woky71/Log%20for%20Packets.txt?dl=0
It takes a long time compared to other game’s private servers. Is it so much more difficult? Anyway, why do your sounds files have DRM protection (digital rights management)?
1. Because unlike others servers, LU is encoded, other games only require multiplayer, this requires rewriting.
2. What do you mean about the sound files?
I got the new client Nexus Tower but their is no sound how do I get sound in game .
(CDFalcon if u tell me to look on your wiki setup page please provide the link :D)
ROFL 😀
Check out this tutorial by TheNyJan, you don’t need to download the files though, you already have them.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PRqcD9wQVQ
I don’t know if we could figure this out, but I believe NetDevil had some private servers for LU so is there anyway we could find them and use them or not?
Net devil was bought by Gazillion entertainment, I’ve contacted them before and they don’t want anything to do with LU stuff lol
Why is that? Well if they don’t want anything to do with LU why don’t they just give some stuff to us? Maybe we could buy some things from them. We could do like a donation until we have enough to get what we need.
You guys don’t understand, Net Devil has NO rights for LU, LEGO bought them all, they couldn’t change an minifig’s hand.
Also I am trying to register an account on here but it is not working. Anyone know why its not working?
I am in the process of fixing this; it’s probably one of my older plugins conflicting with my newer one to fight back against spam registrations.
Ok thank you Tim!
I’m going to have to switch plugins completely; in one or two days all should be well.
Everything should be good. Enjoy and report bugs! Thanks
NEWS:
I am now bored of the current GUI. So here’s what I’d like to do:
– Get new icons
– Change the GUI (i.e. window frame)
Can anyone design some new icons? Email theepictristan@outlook.com if interested
Does anyone know how to change the GUI?
I am VERY VERY VERY proud to announce that I have succeeded in minifigure customization!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks to my epic decoding process, I changed CheekyMonkey to a minifigure with plain green and black shirt and pants!!!!!!!!
MINIFIG CUSTOMIZATION IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER!!!!!
However, the game crashed when I tryed to play as him. It crashed to login, then I logged in, and there he was, CHANGED! I will post how to customize minifigs soon.
I am now decoding CheekyMonkey too.
Nice. I am available to decode, just tell me what I need to do
Could you note what byte you changed?
lol, I will private message you from the wiki. It would be helpful if you could decode grunt monkey.
Also, this was not a matter of just changing 1 byte, this happened because I spent 5 hours decoding and had to rewrite some stuff in one file of the server.
Yeah, I understand that, I was just asking what you changed
Lol 🙂 idr
Great job! How long did it take you to accomplish that?
Finding the right file and setting up took about 4 hours, but the part that changed what he looks like took only 30 secs.
Nice! So what exactly does this add? Is it making new characters or just customizing the old ones?
Remaking the old. I’m testing to see if you can play as them.
RoboWarrior, I am assigning you to Grunt Monkey. Also, pwjones, you are obsessed with monkeys 🙂 lol rofl Cheeky Monkey, monkeybrown, Grunt Monkey. That’s not right.
CDFalcon will your server be working soon?
Lego king
Lasting survivor of Lego universe.
Hmm, hard to say. I am working on it for customizing minifigs and decoding packets, but about, say, two weeks, mabye 3?
How do you set the spawn points? I also want to try to make world travel possible. Does anybody know anything for this?
Okay,
1. Check out the tutorial on that by startreklover on my wiki page
2. Incredibly complex. Don’t attempt.
Hey timtech, thanks for uploading my client. You can take down the Dropbox link. I’m taking it off.
OK.
@CDFalcon
Ok, thanks. Now that you know how to do this, do you think it will be easy to get rockets in once Timtech works out the world transport?
Honestly no, rockets seem to be a whole different issue, with finding models, code, and using replica manager to put it together. You also need the spawn points, which we don’t have…
