    Okay, I’ve not gotten very far, but I am exploring LEGO Universe’s .lua scripts to see if they have anything that could help! I assume not but it’s worth a try! 😉

    Btw, Gamebryo is not as easy as Happy Flower, LOL! 😀

    Also, how do you open CDClient.fdb? Does anyone know???

    • Jon002 February 7, 2015 @ 7:47 PM

      I wish I knew… From what pwjones says, it contains XML data (and possibly some binary at the top which you may have to remove… You may wanna check on that, although I don’t really know where :P).

      Also, how goes the Gamebryo development? Anything interesting yet?

        Okay, thanks anyway! 🙂

        And actually, I have come over something possibly useful… The world code, possibly with something that could help (maybe) with the server! Even though it is client side, it may have code, data, and info on how to do some things on the server.

        Plus, if gamebryo actually work’s with me… |-( I (might) be able create at least a full single player gamebryo solution file… Don’t get your hopes up though… It’s a long shot!

        • Eversome February 9, 2015 @ 1:56 PM

          Hey, I know nothing about C, but I know a lot about lua. Any way I could help?

          • Timtech February 11, 2015 @ 7:20 AM

            We’re not coding in lua, sorry. There’s probably more places where you can help, though!

  2. Jon002 February 7, 2015 @ 10:23 PM

    So, just to let everyone know, I am working on char saving and loading. Currently (now, remember, this REALLY is not a big deal… It’s actually pretty easy :P), you can create a user account, login, and you will have zero characters. The auth works pretty good right now (all dynamic packet construction) but it is very crude and probably very memory inefficient. (I’m just guessing at this… Memory is my downfall… I use Objective-C a lot with @autoreleasepool so I don’t really have to worry a ton about memory unless I am working with C or C++. One thing I love about coding this server is that I am growing in knowledge of C++ as I program..). But its actually really fun just to see you login and get presented to create your first char! I will continue to keep everyone updated.

    Also, @knightoffaith, I am working on documenting the source as I program. What want to do is release 0.6 whenever I finish char creation and loading (before I progress to the world server and RM. Also, I don’t have a specified timeframe @Emmit :P) and in the 0.6 release I hope to have the source documented well.

      Great. Let me know if there’s anything you can fill into the empty sections of my doc, perhaps Tim will be able to add that to his links once there’s more there.

      If there’s anything I can help out with/do/figure out let me know. I can code a bit and such, but I just don’t know enough to be self directed. :p

    • Natsu22 February 8, 2015 @ 2:49 PM

      Hey Jon002! ( TimTech, i’m not logged in, and im not in home, but you can trust me, it’s me. Im writing because comments must be “Accepted” (?) By moderator so, you know )
      So, you are working on Creating account, saving character and use it? Cool! The thing, that i was waiting for!( and mosnters ofc XD )
      But, to reigster, we will able to do it ” manually “?
      I mean, if i want to log on, i won’t must use timtech account, only my own created account in LUNI? ( i mean, we will be able to make our account in files, or in cmd? )

      • Timtech February 8, 2015 @ 7:24 PM

        It’s okay, once that IP is accepted once, further comments that pass the quality filter are immediately published. You won’t have to use an account from here (actually, it’s impossible), but rather one that you configure directly from the server. There is actually a little-used feature in 0.5 that requires MySQL but supports account authentication (no advantages, characters can’t be saved) but this is probably how it will work for a localhosted server. If there is an actual public server with user accounts I will probably take requests manually or through some kind of web interface directly connected to the SQL database.

        • Jon002 February 8, 2015 @ 10:14 PM

          Yep! As Tim said, MySQL database connection is not required in the 0.5 version of the server. However, just to give the heads up, version 0.6 will REQUIRE MySQL (as there is not where else that is very convenient to store characters, who are saved to accounts 🙂 ). You can easily install MySQL with XAMPP or MAMP however. Just wanted to make sure everyone knows.

          • Knightoffaith February 8, 2015 @ 10:54 PM

            Help with installing MySql? Tried installing it multiple ways, but it still won’t show up in Visual Studio as a database connection option. Will installing with XAMPP allow integration with Visual Studio for development?

          • Natsu22 February 9, 2015 @ 4:29 AM

            So… To register ( or log in with any account, etc. )
            We will need MySQL? No Problem ^_^

          • Jon002 February 9, 2015 @ 4:05 PM

            In order to add MySQL to a Visual Studio project, basically you need to use the header files and libmysql(client).lib and add these paths to your include and library directories in the settings (if that made sense). Basically, you need the project to load the MySQL libs, which require the header files in the /include folder (I forget the actual path for XAMPP…) somewhere in the xampp installation.

          • Knightoffaith February 9, 2015 @ 4:47 PM

            One I get around to setting up XAMPP, I’ll take a look into that… Will add your instruction to the dev file, methinks. Do I just need to include the directory with the header files in my project properties, or do I have to do something with them?

            I don’t have to install MySQL, connectors, or whatnot from the MySQL site, right?

          • Jon002 February 9, 2015 @ 6:29 PM

            Sure! Where is the Dev file actually? Can you give me access to it?

            Also, no. I have used no connectors in my project.

            I posted it a while back, let me go and grab the link…

            https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MIswY5nm_fBnDSetEXd7PipJ5f81C7r-VPptX6bCSXU/edit?usp=sharing

            Yeah, I tried installing MySQL for VS, then MySQL CE… Apparently neither of those like to work. I’ll just grab it with XAMPP if that works.

          • Jon002 February 11, 2015 @ 1:05 PM

            Thanks! I can’t seem to edit it for some reason though… Should I just make a copy and then send it to you?

          • Knightoffaith February 11, 2015 @ 2:58 PM

            That would be because I set link sharing to view. :p I would’ve done commenting, but I can’t permanently delete comments, and I’d want to be able to have that option.

            Definitely just do a copy and send it by way. That would probably be the easiest way to do that.

    • airplane1717 February 18, 2015 @ 6:28 AM

      I hope one day we will be able to play the full LU and use the installer more easly
      There is a bright future for LUNI! 😀

  3. EpicGuy5135 February 8, 2015 @ 2:33 AM

    Coming from the mac side of this project I will start to try to figure out ways for LU to run its best on Macintosh computers , however , this has not been working out.
    The farthest I’ve really gotten to at this point is it launching (With the help of Wine) and I go through the terms of service and all of that boring stuff than shortly after…. It crashes
    I’ll try to keep on updating

    • EpicGuy5135 February 8, 2015 @ 3:18 AM

      This download has been going on… :/
      What about me profile picture, Its bob (Lego Universe) He stares at you and consumes your soul but don’t worry about it

      • Timtech February 9, 2015 @ 7:19 AM

        What you need to do is get the installer working.

        • Lego king February 9, 2015 @ 11:02 AM

          I have a Mac because I think trying to buy a computers that will run window will be hard to find and trying to find anti virus programs. I don’t want to build my own computer because I don’t know much about building one for games, so I got a Mac. (I was brainwashed by my dad that macs are the best) but he had a software for the Mac that runs windos and lu works great on it. The software is called parallels. I hope this helped 🙂

    • Lego king February 9, 2015 @ 11:05 AM

      Ya I used wine for it. I never got it to work. 🙁 it’s to confusing for trying to get the server to run. I hank you need a plugin to run windows command lines.

  4. Kittyjumpyphone February 8, 2015 @ 5:53 AM

    Looks like we are making an tiny ( Really small ) Bit of progress. Great Job Guys. Oh by the way I don’t know if any of you are interested but check out the pvp they were going to add ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jY9bSSjvQwA

    • Timtech February 9, 2015 @ 7:13 AM

      This is old, as shival doesn’t even have LEGO Universe any more. He was officially moderating and developing for the LEGO company, I think. We already asked him to help out and he said no.

      • Kittyjumpyphone February 9, 2015 @ 7:58 AM

        That’s too bad. I wish It could have stayed open for what was going to be added. The Castle and Ninjago worlds looked great. I wish we could play them in Luni. Oh By the way do you think we can find somebody who worked on lego universe to help ? We need the dev’s.

  5. mater06 February 8, 2015 @ 4:28 PM

    Okay guys! I have gotten a playable entity! This isn’t anything big, and it is just a cube… But it is using LEGO Universe code! So, all i need to do is go through the process of importing, and there we go!

  6. Natsu22 February 9, 2015 @ 4:55 AM

    Hey Tim and Jon002!
    I forgot to ask. In 0.6v character creation will be available, right?
    But… we will be able to use it and:
    1. Start on Venture Explorer?
    2. Start from LVL 1?

    • Timtech February 9, 2015 @ 7:14 AM

      I don’t know when 0.6 is coming out, and I don’t know what’s going to be in it. Character saving and usage should be added (since creation has worked since 0.3), but I’m not sure about any of the other stuff. We’re going to have to wait and see.

      • Natsu22 February 9, 2015 @ 8:08 AM

        Emm, and next question.
        I know it very hard to say it right now, but…
        In the last months of 2015 game will be in 40-50% Playable?
        ( Character creation, using created character, start from lvl 1 on venture explorer, Rocket traveling, and equiping few items? )

        • CDFalcon February 9, 2015 @ 10:15 AM

          1. Char creation will defiantly happen
          2. Start from level one is not necessary, but will happen also.
          3. Rocket traveling is the LAST thing we really need. You can just use commands to move around.
          4. It will be equipping all items, not just a few, but that needs a replica manager…

  7. CDFalcon February 9, 2015 @ 9:22 AM

    Okay, great work Jon002! I have been fooling around with the packets, and I am learning about how the work. But char creation… Wow, that is great! Could you send me the server? I am trying to host my server again, but 0.5 doesn’t work…

  8. ted505 February 9, 2015 @ 2:12 PM

    Has johhn actually got charecter cust. working? if so. why not release v5.1?

  9. Kittyjumpyphone February 9, 2015 @ 2:45 PM

    Personally after 6.0 is released. I think the replica manger is your next big move It makes sense. What is the plan for development anyway. Is it in order or just random ?

  10. Mr.Turnip February 9, 2015 @ 3:18 PM

    This is just a quick question, will you be making additional worlds?

    Also, I don’t know how to program but is there any way I can help?

    • caboose1543 February 9, 2015 @ 7:30 PM

      there are many of the unreleased worlds in the client once this all gets going the devs will be able to hopefully adventure into the client and release the unreleased world to us.

  11. Mr.Turnip February 9, 2015 @ 3:31 PM

    I don’t have any friends that ever played LU, so once this is finished, will there be a list of servers?

  12. RoboWarrior February 9, 2015 @ 9:02 PM

    Hello, folks, I’m back, and, I’m wondering if there is anything I can do to help.

  13. CDFalcon February 10, 2015 @ 11:06 AM

    Hey guys, 2 questions.
    1= When will 0.6 be released, and can you PLAY as the char you save?
    2= Timtech, can you post how to make a MySQL server agin? I have forgotten… lol

  14. CDFalcon February 10, 2015 @ 11:33 AM

    lol i have waaayyyy to much LU points… Yep Timtech, i stalk this site 😉

  15. Ted505 February 10, 2015 @ 4:50 PM

    Does the server work on windows 10?

  16. caboose1543 February 10, 2015 @ 8:17 PM

    We won’t have access to the worlds,npcs, and items that are in the LU dev trunk build will we?

  17. Kittyjumpyphone February 11, 2015 @ 7:21 AM

    When do you plan to start the replica manger

    • Techtrix February 11, 2015 @ 5:11 PM

      I believe they are already working on it. It just takes a lot of time to get it to work properly.

      • Kittyjumpyphone February 12, 2015 @ 5:23 AM

        The last time I heard they were not working on it. They should update us ( If they can ) From time to time

  18. Mr.Turnip February 11, 2015 @ 7:50 PM

    Will you soon be adding enemies?

  19. Jon002 February 11, 2015 @ 11:41 PM

    Well, just wanted to post a status update: You can now create a character and save him to a MySQL database (although, the server won’t fetch him yet… It will always show an empty list of characters). However, I am working hard to at least get a version out ASAP (which, of course, could be a while) so please don’t go crazy over that info. I will release it as soon as I can when I have confidence that it is pretty stable.

    I am now working on loading chars from the database when you log in… I have a working struct, but the data is formatted a little off, and so I need to look into that (wchar placing bytes before the string… of course, this could be due to something else, but it doesn’t load the char… yet.)

    • Natsu22 February 12, 2015 @ 4:29 AM

      Hey Jon002!
      It’s my 3rd time when im asking, but no one answered it yet.
      So…. if saving char, etc, etc. will be done, we will be able to use this character?(Play as this character)

    • mater06 February 12, 2015 @ 10:49 AM

      That isn’t the biggest accomplishment, but we’re getting there! Great job…

      How do you do this? I code myself, and RakNet just looks like a foriegn langauge to me! Is there anyway to learn it besides the manual? ‘Cause that doesn’t really help either… 🙁

      • Knightoffaith February 12, 2015 @ 3:29 PM

        I haven’t seen anything aside from a few tutorials using Leadwerks. It would be helpful if we could get a tutorial for that…

        Btw, I would get some background in networking (ie from here before taking a look at the manual. It makes much more sense, and I’ve only started to learn about networking. 😛

      • Jon002 February 13, 2015 @ 6:12 PM

        I basically just use a lot of the code snippets that RakNet has in their documentation as well as viewing what the rest of the code looks like… Although, the RM may be quite hard to implement as I need to review that in depth. But bascially, I’m just teaching myself everything. Lots of trial and error.

        Also, do you know any other languages besides C++? I’ve just been studying Objective-C for a couple years now and then Swift for about a year, both of which have some commonalities with some of the things in C++ (Objective-C has much more since it is build on top of C and C++).

        Answer the Call. Save Imagination.
        -Jon002

        P.S: Also, what @Knightoffaith said, it would be helpful to look into network just to get familiar with it. It’s not completely necessary, but it will help you a LOT.

  20. eliteblackninja February 12, 2015 @ 1:21 PM

    The game won’t let me create a new character, when I get to the name part I can’t click play.

  21. Knightoffaith February 12, 2015 @ 3:33 PM

    By the way, is this still up to date? If not, could it be updated as XAMPP and such will be needed now?

  22. Jon002 February 13, 2015 @ 11:43 PM

    Alright, time for another status update. I have gotten character creation to work!!! You can now create a character and the login and see him! Delete, however, has not been implemented yet. I will move on to that after I figure out another problem…

    For some reason, when the client sends the packet containing the newly created chat info, the shirtColor and shirtStyle hexes get sent (those are my SQL database names for the color and style of the shirt). However, when the server sends it back to the client when loading chars, the short appears to be only a solid color… No design. I believe there is a relation with the shirtStyle and shirtColor to the shirt ID in the cdclient database, but I can’t seem to figure anything out… I’ll post back once this is sorted.

    But I’m getting close to a working char server! (Although, you are unable to play as you new character 🙁 )

  28. mater06 February 16, 2015 @ 7:57 AM

    For some reason just now I remember a long time ago… (probably before most of the people here where on the site.) I was so sad that LU closed that I wanted to find any way to bring it back! I thought I knew how to do it, I don’t know if any of you remember that old post I created on the LMB’s? (HOW TO GET A LEGO UNIVERSE PRIVATE SERVER) Yeah, and then… I found this site, I remember all the way back when 0.3 came out! Back then Tim and Jon didn’t think we would even get to see enemies or rockets or anything. Even pwjones’s where a nice surprise for all of us. It just makes me feel good that what we all found impossible…

    …Is now possible! 🙂

    (I don’t know why, I just felt like writing this! :p)

    Lol, in response to the comment above, I do visit this site often, but I have NO idea why I have so many points… I visit this about 4 times a day, and I have been logged out for 3 days… Not sure why I still have so may points…

    • Timtech February 16, 2015 @ 5:09 PM

  31. caboose1543 February 16, 2015 @ 8:56 PM

    I want to give a big thanks to Jon for getting Char creation working(almost) and I really look forward to this being released. Tim do you think if Shival saw our progress he’d give us a trunk build?

  33. CDFalcon February 17, 2015 @ 9:59 AM

    Also, did i here right that TheNayJan is sick?

    • Timtech February 17, 2015 @ 1:46 PM

      I don’t think anyone has contacted HappyPappy, and I haven’t heard anything about TheNyJan being sick.

      Mayby he could be still in hospital!
      Hope you’ll get better NyJan 🙂

  34. Lego king February 17, 2015 @ 11:07 AM

    I was wondering if someone can make a launcher for this that has a place for a friends list and can conect to the server they are on. (After when we can see other players) Also with an option to connect to other servers or open your own single player by opening the server file. With an option to create a private server to play with a friend. Is this what luHUB is going to be?
    Also great job Jonoo2!

    now i think you should create a smaller version of nexus 2 for us bad internet people because i see no use of downloading it and waiting 6 hours while your Super busy and have to use the computer. and even if you do go to a website while its downloading that’ll just make it a longer download

    • Timtech February 17, 2015 @ 5:39 PM

      It is the full client. I see no point in reducing the size just to release a new client with every server update. Think of all the strain it puts on my site… 2TB/month bandwidth usage whenever there is a client update. This is the other reason why I try not to update the client too much.

  37. CDFalcon February 17, 2015 @ 4:58 PM

    Okay, TimTech, are you still trying to add Raffa’s !goto world command?

    • Timtech February 17, 2015 @ 5:40 PM

      Yes, but I’m going to wait until Jon finishes his part of 0.6 before I add that in as a little extra feature before it’s released.

      • mater06 February 17, 2015 @ 10:03 PM

        I’ve been working on that a little bit… I had to change the code that said the chat had to use the command: “!goto [world]” to “/goto [world]” Because the chat can not process the !goto command because there is no moderation team looking at the chat that your saying. So, no moderators… No chat… but because of admins on the original server… anything that started with “/” didn’t need to be moderated. This didn’t work, probably because it was trying to access commands from a file on the original server. I don’t know. But, it may work if we make this one change…

        Figure out a way to make it so that when you join the server you have the ability to use the macro code. That means original commands like /travel, (Seen in shivals videos.) I don’t know how, and I don’t know what I may have done wrong with the code that raffa made… But I am not worrying about it too much because we may have rockets sooner then we think. Plus we always have the checksums. 😉

        So, my brain just threw up. I feel better now.

    Tim can we get a credit page/page that shows what people are working on or is there already one. It gives everybody something to look forward to and tells people how things are going. You catch my drift Tim?

    • caboose1543 February 17, 2015 @ 7:38 PM

      Example:

      TimTech: Working on Site and Servers

      Jon002: working on Character creation

      CDfalcon: working on packet construction and Replica Manager

      Mater6: learning and constructing packets

      Caboose, Startreklover, etc: advertising

      Knightoffaith: Contributing

      Robowarrior: finally back

      Humanoid: huge contributor

      • CDFalcon February 17, 2015 @ 7:57 PM

        Lol you can drop the replica manager… but I am learning from the packets…

      • Jon002 February 17, 2015 @ 8:57 PM

        “Huge contributer” is probably an understatement for humanoid :P. Basically, humanoid24 and lcdr, along with pwjones who had the packets that gave us an idea of where to go with the server actually got it started. Without their efforts, there really wouldn’t be any “progress” on anything as we would have NO idea how the original server could have been structured like (or the data that it sent). Basically, for humanoid24, lcdr, and pwjones, they should be under “Creators”.

            Woo yeah advertisement! Although my YouTube is more of a support thing-y (plus videos when I get a chance). So I could be a contact for consumer support? I can interpret things from the many languages of the internetz.

        Omg, startreklover does more than advertise! He does the tutorials on YouTube!

        No way! I’m on there! 😀 glad I’m considered part of the team!

    • Timtech February 18, 2015 @ 8:59 AM

      We have the LUNI Wiki but I might make a better site for it that could host documentation as well.

  39. Jon002 February 17, 2015 @ 9:38 PM

    Alright everyone, so I am nearing the completion of the char creation server. It will also be documented so that people who want to help with the server can easily figure out what everything is doing.

    But what I want to do now, first, is release a WILL and WON’T chart of what this server will and will not be capable of doing at the moment. This is so that people can know what is included and what needs to be added (some things will also need to be updated, perfected, etc. too)

    You WILL:
    – Be able to create a custom username/password combination and use this to log in to the game
    – Be able to create, save, and delete custom minifigs
    – Be able to do all of this with dynamic packet construction (meaning you can delete the /auth and /char folders in the Debug folder)
    – Be able to view the documented source code so that you can help with the server in any way.

    You WILL NOT:
    – Be able to load your custom character into a world and play as him (trying to do so loads CheekyMonkey)
    – Be able to get items and consumables and save him to you character
    – Be able to load CheekyMonkey with dynamic packet construction (as the ReplicaManager still needs to be set up)
    – Play a completed version of LEGO Universe (which doesn’t exist right now :P)

    I really hope this helps get an idea of what the server will be like when it is released. I will post back when it is ready, hopefully sometime in the next two-three weeks (maybe earlier if I can get the time 🙂 ). Mainly all I’m really doing right now is cleaning up the code and documenting the source (char creation already works!)

    • mater06 February 17, 2015 @ 9:46 PM

      Great! I am not as excited about char creation as I am about the documentation! Lol! Thanks for that!

    • Knightoffaith February 17, 2015 @ 10:07 PM

      Awesomesauce! Hopefully I’ll be able to start doing some work on this once it’s live. Many thanks!!

      Btw, installing XAMPP will be required for this one, right?

      • Jon002 February 17, 2015 @ 10:47 PM

        Yep. I had to go ahead and require it, because otherwise there would be no way for the server to save the characters.

        • Knightoffaith February 17, 2015 @ 11:28 PM

          Almost have it running, so I should be good to go.

          BTW, have you gotten anywhere with the dev docs by chance? Just curious.

          • Jon002 February 17, 2015 @ 11:44 PM

            I’m very sorry, but I haven’t really gotta anywhere yet. I’ve just been busy getting this release out to everyone quickly. Once it’s released, I will focus attention on the doc.

            That’s fine, no problem. Many thanks for the work you’re doing. 😀

    • airplane1717 February 18, 2015 @ 1:32 AM

      Good job Jon002!
      Now we can make chars 😀
      So all we need is the Replica Manager!

  40. airplane1717 February 18, 2015 @ 1:51 AM

    I think I have some ideas for LUNI!

    1. progress section

    2. Credits section

    3. News section

    4. Newsletter

    5. LUNI photo section!
    (Where everybody uploades
    screenshots and their art works!!)

    What do you guys think?

  41. airplane1717 February 18, 2015 @ 6:19 AM

    Hey Timtech, about the
    MC factions servers.
    What are you planning to
    add to the server??

    P.S my MC name is plane730

    • Timtech February 18, 2015 @ 9:01 AM

      It’s pretty much finished as it is… I have limited RAM for it so a lot of plugins wouldn’t work out.

      • caboose1543 February 18, 2015 @ 2:58 PM

        Hey Tim will you be able to make new weapons and npc’s because Textures, Templates, effects and names can all be modified? i saw Jammester’s video “Lego Universe is Dead” and i just had the idea would we be able to do such a thing? constructing npc packets and weopon packets would be so cool!

  42. Zso February 18, 2015 @ 8:48 AM

    Hello. May I ask 1 question, how do I access ALL the worlds? CDFalcon had a link to it but I cant find it! please help!

  43. caboose1543 February 18, 2015 @ 12:03 PM

    hello there TimmTech i’ve uploaded a small video just redirecting people to the site here
    http://youtu.be/xlH90YqPOzc it may be bad but hey i tried XD

  44. joni2012 February 18, 2015 @ 1:17 PM

    Hey there,
    I’m a java developer and I have much experience with Minecraft/Bukkit/BungeeCord coding so I could help with the faction server if you need help. Also I loved LU so if you have something to do for me I’m in!

    Love you for the LUNI project
    – Jonny

    • Timtech February 18, 2015 @ 5:13 PM

      Nice, do you think instead of a generic Factions server we could make it a remake of LU? I just think that’s been done before.

      • caboose1543 February 18, 2015 @ 5:25 PM

        they only made 3 worlds i’m talking about remaking the whole thing Tim 😀

      • joni2012 February 19, 2015 @ 3:16 AM

        I think we could make a remake of LU in Minecraft but only with the possibilities in Minecraft itself. I’m a plugin developer so I don’t know anything about to implement completely new items into the game.
        But we could use a resource pack to change the textures of already existing items.

  45. caboose1543 February 18, 2015 @ 2:50 PM

    Tim will you make me a mod on your server Minecraft name is caboosetiger
    i’ll remake LU if you’d like

  46. PascalGamer February 18, 2015 @ 3:11 PM

    I wonder whats new in 0.5.1?

  47. Knightoffaith February 18, 2015 @ 5:06 PM

    Quick question Jon,

    Will Apache be needed for local use (as in the only clients are on the machine I’m running the server on) of the new server version, or just MySQL? Are these instructions what woud need to be followed as opposed to just downloading the client & server, then running both?

    • Jon002 February 18, 2015 @ 7:01 PM

      Yep. You need to start Apache as well as MySQL in order for the localhosted server to run.

  48. caboose1543 February 18, 2015 @ 6:28 PM

    Timtech, me, and a few others might be remaking LU in minecraft if anybody would like to join just reply so we can hopefully put together a Lego Universe Minecraft Dev Team 🙂

  49. caboose1543 February 19, 2015 @ 8:56 AM

    not a final thing but Tim you got some people here who want to work on the Minecraft LU server :/

    Myself,possibly you, airplane, mater06(he might because he has minecraft, Joni2012, and i’m sure we’ll find more people on Planet Minecraft

    • Timtech February 19, 2015 @ 9:08 AM

      Cool, I guess we can still make factions and just build them up individually. (Like allot different sizes to different worlds, I’ve already got this worked out).

    • mater06 February 19, 2015 @ 9:08 AM

      I’m already doing this with a group of friends. Plus, I have my own server that I am revamping. And it is private not public. I most likely will not work on this project because it does not help the luni server.

  50. joni2012 February 19, 2015 @ 9:12 AM

    Has anyone already built the LU worlds in Minecraft?
