    Is this dead or still going?

    • Jon002 January 15, 2014 @ 2:47 PM

      Nope. The server is sorta up. You can only create a minifig right now though.

    So, if we download that, we’ll be able to play LU again, only offline? 😛 Sorry if I seem stupid but that’s to big a concept for me to get. :O

    • Jon002 January 15, 2014 @ 6:33 PM

      Almost. The server is still incomplete: everything is temporary. We’re working on the world part currently.

    Dide’nt work for me, said no servers available and diden’t let me play.

    • Timtech January 16, 2014 @ 6:26 PM

      You don’t have an external server IP typed in. You either must connect to someone’s server externally or host your own LAN server (download here).

  4. gamerthaflamer January 16, 2014 @ 10:05 AM

    how do we log in? do we have to make a new account?

    • Timtech January 16, 2014 @ 6:28 PM

      Once you connect to the server, you can make minifigures. Unfortunately, there is no current worldwide server dedicated to this as of yet, so I recommend you stick with a LAN server if you have the SQL/RakNet needed to run it. (Otherwise, just hang on tight and we might get more progress done soon).

  5. Jon002 January 16, 2014 @ 7:13 PM

    Here are the steps to get this working:

    1) Download the files
    2) Go into each folder and change the config.ini so that the IP Address is yours (you can find it by opening CMD and typing “ipconfig” (without quotes)) and save.
    3) Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\LEGO Software\LEGO Universe\client (or wherever the game files are stored) and open “boot.cfg”. Edit AUTHSERVERIP=0:xxx.xxx.x.xx where the “x”s are your IP.
    4) Open legouniverse.exe, and login with any user/pass combination.
    5) Everything is temporary right now, so there are 4 minifigs already created. Delete one with the same password you used to login (they HAVE to match) and delete.
    6) You can now create a minifig!

    I don’t mean to be picky but can you show us some new footage about the minifigures, menu, and the loading screen (I know the loading screen goes up to 35%) but can we see please? 😀

  7. Jake January 18, 2014 @ 12:12 AM

    Are the downloads safe?

  8. Bob January 18, 2014 @ 1:44 PM

    Will this work for mac?

  9. John January 18, 2014 @ 2:29 PM

    Can you please make a video on how to set up the game? Please and thanks

  10. bob January 18, 2014 @ 2:31 PM

    i have been looking at this and have attempted to make a server. it has been going well so far i can get to the logon screen and logon but then it never loads the character part it just does not respond and i get this error on the cmd thing: client disconnected, does it take time to load? or is that part not finnished yet?

  11. Chris January 18, 2014 @ 4:55 PM

    I did all of the above with my IP and am setting up my own server. However, when I run “legouniverse.exe” it goes to a blank white screen and then shuts down. Help? Thanks – this sounds awesome and I want to try it!

    • Timtech January 18, 2014 @ 6:47 PM

      You need to uninstall your existing, broken Lego Universe Client and use the recommended client instead. http://timtechsoftware.com/bitly/lu-d

      Select the full, working, recommended client.

      • Chris January 19, 2014 @ 1:36 AM

        I downloaded it but it won’t let me extract all of the files

        • Chris January 19, 2014 @ 12:23 PM

          I downloaded the correct version and tried to get it all to run. It works except it goes to the screen with the running minifig and then quits. I followed the video step-by-step and it’s not working. More help please? Thanks

          • Timtech January 19, 2014 @ 12:36 PM

            Use the Uninstaller provided with your existing client to uninstall everything related to Lego Universe (all data, minifigures, etc.). Then, extract the recommended client, and run legouniverse.exe from the client folder.

            Then boot up the server, and you should be able to connect.

            If you would give more detail about where it stops working, I can be a bit more specific. Do you see Bob and the user/password fields? The minifigure creation screen? The 35% loading screen?

          • Chris January 19, 2014 @ 12:49 PM

            Thanks for the help – I figured out why it wasn’t working.

            Now, I’ve gotten to the login screen but now when I enter my username and password it goes to a blank white screen and stops responding. Help, please? Or do you need more info?

          • Chris January 19, 2014 @ 12:50 PM

            Oh yeah, I didn’t see the minifig creation screen. I saw Bob and the user/password fields. No 35% loading screen

          • Timtech January 19, 2014 @ 1:49 PM

            You’re definitely missing some .pk files. Verify you have all of these in your res/pack folder: http://www.timtechsoftware.com/lu/LEGO%20Universe/Windows/client/res/pack/

          • Chris January 20, 2014 @ 10:29 PM

            I’ve downloaded all of the res/pack files and still nothing. Bob shows up, the login shows, but no character gallery or 35%

          • Timtech January 21, 2014 @ 6:53 AM

            You also need to re-download the ones you already have (I am making a fix for this, but that client had in-game download on, making the .pk files incomplete right now).

          • Chris January 21, 2014 @ 10:09 PM

            Do you have a folder with all of the .pk files I need so I can download a whole folder and not go through every single file? If there isn’t that’s okay. Thanks for all of the help – I really appreciate it.

          • Timtech January 22, 2014 @ 7:17 AM

            Yeah, I’m zipping them up and uploading them today.

        • Chris January 22, 2014 @ 11:20 PM

          Sweet! Where’s the download?

  12. Jacob January 18, 2014 @ 7:15 PM

    I actually still have the original game downloaded. Does that mean I could play the full game when I download the server stuff?

    • Timtech January 18, 2014 @ 7:55 PM

      If it still boots up, it’s fine for use.

      • Jacob January 18, 2014 @ 9:33 PM

        So can I play the full game?

        • Timtech January 19, 2014 @ 12:39 PM

          No, only until the world loads 35%.

          It is the server’s fault, and not the client’s, that the loading screen stops at 35%. This is due to the fact that the server was completely created by users as the LEGO Company never released any source code. Only some packet ID’s are known, and others are yet to be discovered.

          Almost none of the level packets are known, and it is due to this that the game stops loading at 35%.

  13. gamerthaflamer January 19, 2014 @ 11:55 AM

    Why does the loading screen go up to 35%?

    • Timtech January 19, 2014 @ 12:39 PM

        So does this mean all hope is lost? 🙁

        • Jon002 January 19, 2014 @ 4:09 PM

          Not yet. We still have SOME packets, and it may be possible to figure out what exactly is happening between the user and the client. Then we could create our own packets.

  14. Kobe January 19, 2014 @ 12:53 PM

    When I start this it shows Bob running as a load but the game just disappears. It closes.
    Any solve? Am I doing something wrong? Thanks!

  15. RoboWarrior January 19, 2014 @ 7:53 PM

    I download the Client and the recommended server. I cannot extract the compressed files for the client. What should I do? And with the server can I just write localhost instead of my IP?
    When do you think we will be able to get into the game?
    Should I ask lego if they are able to give me any files?

    • Timtech January 20, 2014 @ 7:53 AM

      Don’t ask the LEGO Company for any files, because they are not allowed to give them out anyway. And yes, you can just write localhost.

      What is your OS? Windows has the native ability to extract ZIP files (remember, the recommended client is Windows-only). If you have Mac, get the Mac client instead from the raw assets dump folder on the Downloads page.

  16. The Enlightened January 20, 2014 @ 1:09 AM

    When I launch I still get “Error cannot find any available servers. Please try again later”
    Did I skip a step? If so which one? I have my server running and everything.

  17. guy January 20, 2014 @ 1:58 PM

    i try to extract the recommended windows thing but it says it is corrupt and wont let me extract or use the client file is this because i am on windows 7?

    • Timtech January 20, 2014 @ 6:11 PM

      Probably not. I am downloading it myself to check for corruption. The server may have updated while you were downloading (I try not to do it more than a couple times a week). Perhaps re-downloading it may help.

      UPDATE: The file is confirmed to be corrupted and a new one is uploading and will be ready within 24 hours.

  18. Bob January 20, 2014 @ 4:00 PM

    What do you still need to do to finish?

  19. guy January 21, 2014 @ 12:57 PM

    i have got the new files but it still says some are corrupt but i loaded the game and the servers then i type in my user and pass it starts to take me to the character selection then it just goes all white and doesnt load

  20. Roberto January 22, 2014 @ 10:15 AM

    Ok so we’ve attained server authentification. Sooo whats the next step?

  21. guy January 22, 2014 @ 12:39 PM

    um tell us when it is uploaded because i am not gonna download everything separately that would take time and i wouldnt know what to do after atleast when its altogether i will relise it then i would know

  22. Chris January 22, 2014 @ 6:45 PM

    I really think this is a great idea and I’m looking at this page everyday but could you give us a small list of what needs to be currently done? or possibly when this will be done?

  23. Tristan January 23, 2014 @ 2:00 PM

    Hi.
    I was a big LU fan, and so was my friend, so when it shut down, we formed Youniverse. It was meant to be a custom LU, but it was too complex to change the IP and other stuff. Is there any way that you could mod LU? (Change Logo, Minifigure stuff and no login?)

  24. Roberto January 24, 2014 @ 2:41 PM

    Ok so on the forums, its says that we got crux prime to load to 45% by switching some files around. So what are we going to do with the missing files? Supposedly, we need a few that were on RAKNET? what are you guys doing next? (Timtech, sorry they’re being mean to you. Dont worry, You really are helping, just not as much as they think.) 😀

    • Timtech January 24, 2014 @ 6:37 PM

      I heard it was a one time occurrence, but whatever happened, I will be testing once I instal Visual Studio for C++ with RakNet as a static library.

      I’m pretty sure the team is working on getting worlds to load. I hope to include myself in the team when I get Visual Studio installed.

  25. Eueupingu98 January 24, 2014 @ 3:54 PM

    Hi… I just want to know if you’re still working on the servers… Cuz I really want to play LU back… And another question… Will we be able to get access to the members sections without being a member? Would be f****ing awesome!!! Hope you’ll do it! If you do it, I’ll be your best fan ever!!!

    • Timtech January 24, 2014 @ 6:38 PM

      Yeah, we work on it every day here.

      And yes, everything will be absolutely free. All worlds will be available at no charge!

      • eueupingu98 January 25, 2014 @ 3:36 PM

        OMG!!! I thought it was abandonned… If I can help in anyway, tell me! I’m not an expert but maybe there’s something I can do… And also, when will it be out? this year I hope!!!

        • eueupingu98 January 25, 2014 @ 3:41 PM

          And also, Sorry for double post… But if we download your server… Will other people like my friends be able to play with me in MY server… So we would be playing alone? Only me and my friends in the server??? If it works… YOU’RE A REAL GOD!!!

          • Timtech January 25, 2014 @ 6:46 PM

            You and your friends can connect to the same server (and I can help you to make specific user/pass combinations), but you cannot play together… yet. Once the server is finished, it will support multiplayer.

  26. The helper January 24, 2014 @ 5:26 PM

    I have an original disc for the game, if it helps I could send it to you…

    • Timtech January 24, 2014 @ 6:39 PM

      That would be helpful. Do you need an FTP account (is it larger than 500 MB)?

      • The helper January 24, 2014 @ 9:01 PM

        I’m a newb to this stuff btw so I have no idea what a FTP account is, also it’s a cd rom disc so I don’t know what size it is…

        • Timtech January 25, 2014 @ 11:21 AM

          An FTP account is for File Transfer Protocol, where you can upload files to my site. First, take the CD and put it in a .zip file (compressed folder). Then, check how large it is and post it here.

          • Tristan February 1, 2014 @ 12:01 PM

            Hi,
            I have the CD files on my secondary computer – I luckily did not open the patcher on there when it closed!
            On the LU wiki, they were saying that if you change the IP, you will be able to play! I changed it to localhost, opened the game and it worked! 😀 Before, I used some pre-setup databases.
            Can this Help?
            I will upload this to my website soon…

    Hi there, just wondering when do ye play to have the game working as in we can ply in the worlds. Great work so far!

  28. guy January 25, 2014 @ 11:13 AM

    umm i know the loading screen only goes to 35% but when will we get to play even if it is only on lan because i am on lan and i cannot play and if i try to make minifigure it doesnt allow me it only lets me go upto the choose name

  29. WhatDoesTheFox January 25, 2014 @ 4:31 PM

    Why when I want to create my character, it freeze? I write a name, but then, it fails… the game freeze when It says (accept this name?)

  30. Larnuu January 25, 2014 @ 6:57 PM

    Hello, I’m wondering what are the details on accounts. Do you get your old content back or do you need to start over with a new one.

    Also, does this work on MAC?

    • Timtech January 26, 2014 @ 7:39 AM

      You will have a different account and content on each server that you play on (once they are finished, of course). None of your old information can be recovered, as it was removed with the official LEGO servers.

      There is a Mac client for download here, but the server is Windows-only.

  31. eueupingu98 January 25, 2014 @ 8:06 PM

    When do you expect of finishing the hole thing!? At least 1 world that we can play in it…?

  32. Gamerthaflamer January 26, 2014 @ 7:20 PM

    Your thinking eterinity? That’s what we all thought at the beginning. Now look at the progress.

  33. Rc1140 January 27, 2014 @ 3:18 PM

    Does anyone need Avant gardens Files for the progress?

    HEEELP!!! It says FILE IS MISSING. libmysql.dll Is missing. What do I do?!?!?!?

  35. Bob January 28, 2014 @ 8:39 AM

    So the game is now complete? And do we ALWAYS have to play as CheekyMonkey

  36. Larnuu January 28, 2014 @ 12:43 PM

    where can I find file “luni-Database.sql”? it doesn’t appear i have downloaded it.

  37. Callum January 28, 2014 @ 4:36 PM

    When i tried to open “launch.bat” it said i needed some DLL files, i downloaded them but now it’s saying “The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application.” Please help because I really wan’t to play LEGO Universe again!

  38. Bob January 28, 2014 @ 7:00 PM

    Will we be able to go to Frostburgh?

    the program can’t start because libmysql.dll is missing. Help?

  40. Markus January 29, 2014 @ 3:53 PM

    So if I play for Cheekymonkey, then 35% will disappear, and i connect to world?

  41. Eueupingu98 January 29, 2014 @ 7:42 PM

    Where is the MSVCP110D.dll file??? I downloaded the newest one that says (fixed) but it’t not fixed for me… 🙁 Little help?

  42. Bob January 30, 2014 @ 8:21 AM

    How do we play this on a mac if the server is windows only?

    • Timtech January 30, 2014 @ 4:44 PM

      Once we achieve full singleplayer, a permanent server and a custom launcher will be established. Or, you can just play on the Mac with a server hosted on a Windows machine.

  43. Jon002 January 30, 2014 @ 2:18 PM

    Sorry, I accidentally produced the EXE in debug mode. Download the recommended version here. To fix the libmysql.dll errors, add the folder containing the dll to your %PATH% variable (with XAMPP installed it is located in C:\xampp\mysql\lib folder). All other errors are from the debug mode (they are debug DLLs).

  45. Jake January 30, 2014 @ 7:39 PM

    Hello again! I am just afraid if the lego company finds out about this. Is these websites at risk of being removed? Are we doing anything illegal?

  46. Chris January 30, 2014 @ 9:32 PM

    Hey it’s me again! I just have like two questions 1. Do you have a guess of when this will be complete? and 2. will you possible add new stuff to the game?

    • Timtech January 31, 2014 @ 1:08 PM

      Yes and no.

      There’s steady progress on the server, and I don’t know what your definition is of “complete”. No new stuff will be added to the game, although items will be introduced that have never been seen previously.

  47. Eueupingu98 February 1, 2014 @ 12:57 AM

    Hi… Just for the DEVPACK… It always says No available server! Help?

  48. Roberto February 1, 2014 @ 9:03 AM

    So i’ve heard we can walk now, but whats next? are you trying to load another world, or working on the next release.

    • Timtech February 1, 2014 @ 11:55 AM

      Both 🙂 The next release will include the ability to move (it is already possible, but not released to the public yet). Also, I’m working on a custom launcher for us to use.

  49. WincerBerg February 1, 2014 @ 2:45 PM

    Is V4 safe to play yet? And does it include being able to walk?

    • Timtech February 1, 2014 @ 3:08 PM

      0.4-pre2 is safe to play, but you need Visual Studio installed, and running is not included. There is a version that includes running, attacking, and jetpacks, though. It will be released to the general public sometime this month.

  50. WincerBerg February 1, 2014 @ 4:50 PM

    Ok I’ll just wait for public realese Thanks!
