    Everyone will try to get to 10,000 comments.

  2. CDFalcon April 17, 2015 @ 5:47 PM

    Okay, people I need to know what to work on next. So please tell me what you want me to do.
    Options:
    1. NPC’s.
    2. Ingame backpack(as in a backpack you can is ingame)
    3. Something else lol 🙂

  3. redsuperhero April 17, 2015 @ 5:53 PM

    CDFalcon NPS!!!! Then quests please 😀 Also so you can create your own Character customization and play.

    • redsuperhero April 17, 2015 @ 6:16 PM

      CDFalcon but adding NPC’s will be hard to add but it would really great a HUGE step of fixing Lego Universe and quests will be ecspically hard. I know that I heard character customization will come soon and so you can play with that character.

      • Lego king April 17, 2015 @ 6:43 PM

        Ya! Npcs would make it a lot better! Also anybody wants to recruit me. 🙂

      Hey redsuperhero!
      I am not developer, but i am pretty sure Quests will never happen.
      It’s really hard to do that. “Tim’s Team” first need to figure out how to make other things. Quest’s will be probably the last thing, they would work at.

      Hope it helps!

    @CDFalcon,
    Is there a way we can talk easily?
    Maybe Skype or a conversation on your forum?

  5. Lego king April 17, 2015 @ 6:37 PM

    So guys is there any files that I can help with. 🙂

    @Knightoffaith, @Jon, @pwjones

    We have an example of the packet ‘SC_[53-05-00-02] (world info?)’ right?
    The files ‘world_1a.bin’ and ‘world_1b.bin’ combined are one as I know.
    Is there a way to decompress the compressed data from the files?

    • joni2012 April 17, 2015 @ 8:27 PM

      Forgot the first part….

      How can I decompress the compressed stuff? 😀

    • Knightoffaith April 17, 2015 @ 11:10 PM

      Well, the first 4 bytes of the packet should show you which one it is (assuming it starts with 53, the others work differently). I think 1a is that, and 1b is 04.

      Decompression happens server side by RakNet, not sure how to emulate it… Loll try looking into creating a compressor/decompressor at some point.

    @CDFalcon

    How can I get the accountID of a character which wants to access the world server?

    • Jon002 April 17, 2015 @ 8:38 PM

      The account ID is actually created by the server and assigned to the account. The character ID is also created by the server and assigned to each character.

      Both IDs are also 8 bytes long.

    Where can you find pictures you take in LUNI? Can’t find them anywhere.

  15. Techtrix April 17, 2015 @ 7:45 PM

    Okay so how are NPCs in Nimbus Station with monkeybrown? I think trying to figure out NPCs and missions would be best looking into monkeybrown’s files and packets.

  16. Techtrix April 17, 2015 @ 7:53 PM

    Here’s another question for all you developers. Is the code you implement into the LUNI server and all, code that you have found in the LU files or do you write it? For example, are you guys getting the launchpad coding from LEGO’s files or are you writing it from scratch?

  17. Lego king April 17, 2015 @ 8:41 PM

    I’m now in the top 25 leaderboard for LU points! Watch out I’m the new competition! :0

    Did anyone figured out how to dynamically create packets?
    If not then we aren’t able to use custom characters…

    • Jon002 April 17, 2015 @ 8:57 PM

      You can create an instance of a RakNet::BitStream and write data to it with bitStream.Write();

      • joni2012 April 17, 2015 @ 9:02 PM

        So all I have to do is to save my hexadecimal values into an Integer, write this Integer into the BitStream and send it to the client ?

        • joni2012 April 17, 2015 @ 9:05 PM

          Sry if this is a stupid question… But I don’t have experience with saving hexadecimal values… I don’t even know how to convert the accountID into hexadecimal… 🙁

          • Jon002 April 17, 2015 @ 9:46 PM

            You don’t have to. Writing a numerical value to a bitstream sends it as hex.

            -Jon002

        • Jon002 April 17, 2015 @ 9:18 PM

          Pretty much. I use memcpy to copy data from a RakNet packet into an integer value (technically I could probably use bitStream.Read()….). From there, I write the data into the BitStream itself. Most data is written with the Write() function, but (pwjones, correct me if I’m wrong) you can use the WriteCompressed to Write compressed data into the bitStream. After writing all data into a BitStream, you can then send its data off to the client with rakServer->Send().

    Question was talking to a friend he was saying it’d be a lot faster and easier to not recreate LU but to rip the assets to unity and just recreate the gameplay. Thoughts and is it legal? =P

    • Lego king April 17, 2015 @ 10:58 PM

      It is.

      lego king
      sentinel veteren and winner of 10,000th commenter

    • Knightoffaith April 17, 2015 @ 11:00 PM

      NO. People have tried and LEGO has prevented it.

    • TehCupcakes April 18, 2015 @ 7:25 AM

      Not nearly as easy as one might think. While it is fairly easy to rip the client assets into Unity, the server code will not write itself. The server of any MMO (including LU) is extremely important in every way that the player interacts with game elements.

      Here’s an example: When you attack an enemy, it sends a message to the server… The server has been keeping track of the player’s stats and knows the enemy’s “stats”, then it calculates a damage to deal. It updates that damage and sends it back to the client.

      By “recreate the gameplay” in Unity, I’m assuming what your friend is suggesting is eliminating the server element. Not only would you have to remove the messages to the server, but you’d have to make the client do all the information tracking and calculations that the server normally does. So your choice is to either rewrite this stuff as a server, or rewrite it in the client. It’s just as much work either way, but it makes a lot more sense to do it the way was intended to: with a server. Furthermore, LU would not be nearly as fun as a single-player game, but I digress.

      • Knightoffaith April 18, 2015 @ 9:07 AM

        Well, Even just making a complete new client and server means reverse engineering practically goes away, but all the client code would need to be rebuilt.

  23. redsuperhero April 17, 2015 @ 11:06 PM

    Wait who figured out the Bob quests and dont we already have like NPCs but they dont fight at the moment?

    So we are making big progress to fixing lego universe and developers are trying to customize your own character and then so you can play if im correct.

    • Lego king April 17, 2015 @ 11:08 PM

  29. Mister Piano April 18, 2015 @ 4:19 AM

    Okay, now we are after 10’000 comments, so we could focus back on important things. Sometimes, there are people who just post: “I can’t login!!!! Help!!!” or something like that. So here is a guide how to make a good report:

    1. Tell us your server version.
    2. Tell us your client version. (Seems not important, but is)
    3. Tell us your error.
    4. Wait for a answer. (This forum is quite active, so you won’t wait long)

    P.S. @Lego king
    You spelled “veteren” false. It should be “veteran”.

  34. Techtrix April 18, 2015 @ 10:54 AM

    Im sure many of you have seen some of the Final Builder’s videos on youtube. Does anyone know how he re-textured his minifig as a mythran and how he implemented/spawned/found the Mythran Temple? I think that would be a cool thing to see in game. I know you guys said LEGO might not let us do that for the final game but if we do it on our own just to see what it would be like, I would assume that would be okay.

    • redsuperhero April 18, 2015 @ 11:49 AM

      Ask the developers and what exactly are you trying to do?

      • Techtrix April 18, 2015 @ 12:10 PM

        I’m trying to put in some of the worlds that never made it to the final game. Some of those models are in the game’s assets. I’ve read where the Mythran Temple is somewhere in the assets so I am trying to find it so I can put it in the game.

    • Knightoffaith April 18, 2015 @ 12:04 PM

      From what I understand, you just extract then recompress the pks with the adjustments added. From what this person said, the models were replaced, so perhaps they just renamed the files to what would usually be loaded?

      • Techtrix April 18, 2015 @ 12:07 PM

        So let’s say I wanted to replace it with one of the properties, I would have to rename what I wanted to replace with the name of the property? Same with characters?

        • Knightoffaith April 18, 2015 @ 12:13 PM

          In theory, if you have a file named brick2x4 that was loaded into the scene and a file named brick1x1, you could rename brick1x1 to brick2x4 and the 1×1 brick would be loaded in place of the 2×4.

          • Techtrix April 18, 2015 @ 1:34 PM

            Okay cool. I used the PKExtractor to extract everything and I renamed what I want replaced in the game so now how do I recompress the files?

          • bluebrainc April 18, 2015 @ 3:39 PM

            Open the pk file with a text editor (=> NOT Word).
            You can replace the “text” of the original file with the new (.nif files begin with “Gamebryo File Format”, so don’t replace the “ÿ”‘s and the spaces!).
            I’m not sure if it works but I don’t see a reason why it shouldn’t.

          • Techtrix April 18, 2015 @ 10:19 PM

            Okay I have found the Mythran Temple and the Baron Typhanous boss battle world. The Mythran Temple is separated into two models so how would I put both of those in replacement of a world? Do I have to combine them in blender first? Thr Barron boss world is in one model so that shouldn’t be too hard to put in the client.

          • bluebrainc April 19, 2015 @ 8:17 AM

            Yes, import to blender, export as .3ds or .obj, import to niftools, save as .nif (or any other type if you want to manipulate animations, …)
            I hope it works,

            I’ve been gone from my main computer since yesterday afternoon so I will work on it this afternoon.

            Also bluebrainc, how would I recompress the client\res file to put back into the main client?

          • bluebrainc April 19, 2015 @ 2:42 PM

            I never have recomperssed the whole stuff. I have absolutely no idea if it will work or not.I think that you have to change the files that you have changed(not whole directories). You might also look at the source code of PK extractor and “reverse” the whole thing.

          • Techtrix April 19, 2015 @ 3:43 PM

            I guess I don’t technically have to recompress it, but it would make the client a lot bigger

  35. Lego king April 18, 2015 @ 4:17 PM

    Still does anybody (Jon002) know how the npcs are at the nimbus station. How they were spawned in? What file and location. Where can we edit them? If anybody know any answer please reply.

          • Knightoffaith April 19, 2015 @ 8:26 PM

            RakNet has a built in class called BitStream. You use the write function to take a normal datatype (like an integer) and put it in the bitstream, which can then be sent as a packet (if I understand correctly).

  44. mater06 April 19, 2015 @ 12:49 PM

    So, Jon? Since my launchpad patch was just technically a bugfix to your source, I’d like to ask, how’d you figure out that this code…

    if (packet->data[0x1A] == 123 && packet->data[0x1B] == 33 & packet->data[0x1C] == 22) {

    …Was the code for the Nimbus Station launcher? (The reason I ask is because I’m trying to complete launchers for all of LU!

    (P.S. CDFalcon? I need your help with NPC’s if you wanna work together! You can do the HEX, I can do the C++!)

    Hey everyone!
    I am just bored of LEGO games. (Like lego Batman, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, The Movie, etc. )
    I wanna play Lego Minifigures Online. (I don’t really like this game, i played it in CBT… )
    But, i wanna play a LEGO Online game, with someone from here!
    If someone is interested, tell me 😉
    And, i wanna play it because.. I heard LOCO is closing. (Legends of Chima Online ) So..
    It also will shut down like LOCO and LU (I think.. Because all of LEGO games just shut down.)
    So, if anyone is interested, tell me 😉

    AND OTHER INFO!

    You guys want to LEGO bring back LEGO Universe.. I don’t really think it will be good idea because they would shut down it again. Like they did with LOCO 😀 (I don’t really like LOCO too XD)

    Is it only the server which needs completion now or does the client still need fixes?

    BTW, with the tokens which were given to players when they bought a membership so that they could buy stuff at avant gardens, when will they be given to players: at the start of the game or once the get to the part in which membership was needed in the original LU?

      Its Illegal to sell this game to people in any way. Its lego’s game and there the only one that could sell this. Also in the law it says that this thing is owned by everybody in the world. So basically what you are saying something like this: hey I share a TV with my family and right now I’m trying to sell it to my brother.
