  1. Aw, Man I cannot wait for the full game to be out!

    Quick question, What is in the new bundle? What new things does it add?

  2. Tim, can you give me the link to the wiki chat you was talking about a few minutes ago? I didn’t ever discover it… ^^

  3. I just found this site. You guys can not imagine how happy I am someone has decided to bring this back. Anything I should know/learn to help out

    • Well if you’d like to learn C++ that’s what the server is written in. Also, knowledge of binary and hexadecimal would probably be good.

  4. HappyAngryCatfish April 19, 2015 @ 9:49 PM

    Robo replied to me he’s basically quit. He wants to come hot rodding in at the end to act like he did a lot basically.

  5. hey so this is for all coders out there who know Java, this is off-topic of lego universe; here is the task: does anyone know how to create a minecraft client, that can find the coordinates of any player on the server? That would help for raiding :)) let me know sorry this is off topic!

  6. HappyAngryCatfish April 20, 2015 @ 1:22 PM

    Any reason why Nexus2 client would stop at 4.2 GBs 2 days in a row?

  7. Okay, I am taking a 4 week break from LUNI(aka until U.S. summer) so I wont be devolving until Mid-May, but then I will be VERY active… But I will keep coming here.

    Side note: Just pre-ordered deluxe version of the best game of 2015, aka Battlefront(PC)

  8. I have my server up and running and I’ve changed my server config to be my IP that I obtained from searching “External IP” on Google. And I am using both the Zipped Nexus Client #2 and the server version 0.5.1 and when I try to log in either it takes me back to the beginning of the launch screen as if I have just started the game up, or it gets stuck on registering.

    Am I doing something wrong?

    • Change it back to localhost 😉 you only change it to your external IP if you are hosting a public server for others to connect to.

      • Just tried that, and now i’m getting a whole new error.

        I’m getting the error “Sorry! We could not sign you into Lego Universe. Please try again in a few minutes” upon trying to log in.

        Do you know how to fix this or are you out of ideas? :/
        Really want to play, hehe

        • So 0.5.1 release redirect_ip=localhost

          Also make sure client’s boot.cfg has AUTHSERVERIP=0:localhost, and PATCHSERVERIP=0:,

          • Working now.

            Thanks for your support, buddy. Do you have an ETA on the actual server?

          • Actual server? If you mean public server, I’m waiting till we get user-specific SQL features, because there’s really no point in wasting money on something you could host yourself right now (since there is not really multiplayer interaction, there isn’t much point in a public server).

  9. hey guys, I was just checking in to see how progress is going and was wondering, do you guys have a place where we can see the progress you have made in a simple format? a list would be so much nicer than digging through the comments.

  10. I just finished making all 5 of my sites mobile-friendly due to Google’s algorithm change tomorrow (April 21). This means that users with mobile will be more likely to visit if they search with Google. There really isn’t that much change for most pages, but at least we won’t go down in the rankings 🙂

    • Most of the time I’m mobile. *cough* (at school) *cough*

    • HappyAngryCatfish April 20, 2015 @ 11:30 PM

      Dunno what you did to it but seems to be a bit worse for me.

    • Tim….?
      It’s crap…
      Before this version I was able to see all comments in one window and now I have so scroll around 10 times to read one comment section.

      • Well I would change it back but then Google will lower the rankings 🙁 maybe I can find a way to trick them.

        • I think that we should just start spreading the word around instead of relying on Google, because it honestly REALLY sucks on mobile now. Up to you.

    • Tim, just fix the display. And btw the menus are not good for mobile, as they’re meant to be rollovers (which doesn’t exactly work on touch, especially when they go off the screen!).

      • Maybe I should fully change the look of the site…

        • WordPress has enough pretty themes to choose from 😀 😛 But really, there are some really nice, moderm themes available.

          Btw, on mobile the whole banner doesn’t show up either.

          • I don’t know… on my tablet and my dad’s phone, the banner fully shows. Do you mean the drop-down menus? P.S. New theme is probably what I’ll do 😉

  11. Also, I think some of you guys misunderstood me. I am not leaving this project or this site, just taking a break from the actual programing.

  12. i’m just posting what i posted earlier so you guys see it; There is no way to increase the server render distance; what if the server doesn’t have a set render distance; could you alter it then? Or is there a way to do it client-side? I want a way to be able to get people’s coordinates on faction servers xD If you find a way work on it and reply to this post :3 thanks!

  13. I was checking the web for some LU stuff and i came across a website called luhub.com. are you associated with them?

  14. Hey everyone! The poll at http://luni.wikia.com/wiki/LUNI_Wiki on the Sourceforge Shutdown is closing soon, so I would like to know: what should we poll next? Here are some ideas: pages for new devs, what CDF should work on after he gets back, or anything else you guys can come up with. Let me know so we can all help the project in some way!

  15. Anybody tried windows 10, I did. It actually a lot better. Basically its what windows 8.1 should have been. *claps slowly* Yay Microsoft pulling another move of following apple. *cough*(Yosemite)*cough*. 🙂 Classic Microsoft.

  16. Hey anybody like the suggestion of having an app to be up to date with LUNI, have video tutorials up, comment on the site, and another section for faq/about LUNI. Thats an app I can make. well for the iPhone/iPad/apple watch with Xcode. Does anybody like that idea? Oh Ya and also android. :/ Everybody has iPhones! 😛

    Lego King
    Sentinel veteran and 10,000th commenter

    • It will be great idea, but if this App will be also for android.
      No. No everybode has iPhones.
      In my country (Poland) Everyone have samsung galaxy, etc. I won’t pay… ALOT of money just for phone. lol.
      1 iPhone = 3 Samsung Galaxy s5

      • Its the opposite where i live But I’m starting to draw the app out. Don’t worry all versions of the app will be released at the same time. (if I have permission to make this)

      • You should have seen the American people when Apple releases new products.
        The iPhone 5S which came in gold, had people lined up outside Apple stores that had the iPhone 5S upon launch for weeks or days camping in tents just so they could get it in the first few days of release.

        All for these shiny, overpriced pieces of junk with no computing power.
        I could buy a $400 PC that would run better than most of the MacBook’s that have been released in recent years, many of which can cost an upwards of $2000 USD, most costing between $1000-$2000 USD.(you can convert those amounts through google if you wish)

  17. Umm I didn’t mean to start a fight over Mac vs pc or widows os over Mac os. There both different.
    This is my mind:
    Want to play video games: windows
    Video editing or photography: Mac
    Xplane(flight simulator needing a lot of power): Mac
    Simple grandma just wanting to go on the Internet and don’t want to set up crap: Mac
    (I kinda forgot the other uses for pc but it’s still very helpful)

    I have a Mac. I’m not a gamer. I want an easy to use, easy to setup computer for the many things I do. And I also have a virtual machine for windows. That’s all I need.

    Don’t start a war.

    Lego king
    Sentinel veteran and 10,000th commenter

    • I don’t want to start a war too, but i want to add that if you don’t set anything unnecessary up (if you don’t do any crap on it like playing with the registry, deleting partitions and so on, if you buy a new computer and don’t install every software or toolbar you can find in the web), even old grandmas shouldn’t have problems to use the internet. The biggest problem (or advantage) of Windows is that it is programmed too (or quite) open. So, I think like you, Mac and Windows are both ok, but you can’t say that one of them is better, it allways depends on how you configure it. So, please don’t provocate us poor Windows users by telling them more arguments for mac than for Windows 🙂 The best thing would be if both companys would work together to create Macdows or Windintosh 🙂 that probably will never happen (it’s also impossible to build an OS on the sources of both, Mac & Win)
      In Hope that nobody answers on this Comment to provocate/start a war,
      -bluebrain

    • I don’t want to start a war ^_^
      I just it’s so popular in America. I love in Poland, it’s also popular, but not that much.
      Of course, i like it, but don’t have one. I am a gamer, so i don’t really need it.

  18. SO I have a Mac (kinda sucks but hey graphical power supreme) and I do not understand how to unzip LU is there a .zip version cuz .exe i cant open…

  19. I won the poll: https://www.polleverywhere.com/multiple_choice_polls/ktoN8ZUFHxTy4r4?preview=true

    (now you can’t say it’s fake, it’s on an official site and I’ve posted the link one month ago here)

  20. triggerhappy552 April 22, 2015 @ 7:47 PM

    What SQL thing would you recommend?

  21. Okay, let’s be real for a second.

    Is this project REALLY going anywhere? I mean SERIOUSLY, all we have is some understanding of how we can re-send packets of data (Loading a world,object,npc etc) and that’s about it. Sure, we may have a server design but we STILL haven’t even began on the idea of MULTI-PLAYER as you kinda need that for an MMORPG. We’re going to sit in a pit until we get someone with the knowledge of re-building something with such mass and complexity. We haven’t even getting the RM established yet.

    • Let’s be real: You’re 100% right. The rebuilding of LU right now is a lot like the Wii U hacking scene a couple years ago. There are very few people with any real knowledge of how to do this stuff working on it, and those who are capable aren’t really releasing anything. There is some slow progress being made, but a breakthrough release is probably years away.

      I visit here a couple times a week on the off-chance that my optimism is not in vein and that a big release could happen at any moment. But honestly, the rational side of me says that if this project is ever going to take ground, it probably will not be until somebody else picks it up. Not to say that the people currently working on it are incapable, but they simply don’t have the time/motivation/people to make serious progress.

    • You seem to be pessimistic and are discouraging the project.
      Your kind isn’t welcome here.

    • I know for a fact the devs are VERY far along with the server…

    • Umm… we? I already started 😉

  22. Guys, honestly, I think I’m going to end my job as a LUNI dev…

    The reason is: I thought I had made a breakthrough with the launchpads… but the actual LUNI devs? They’ve got char customization, an RM, NPC’s, missions, launchpads, and more!

    They’re farther then us, and honestly, there’s no point for us to keep developing.

    Thus, I may take a vacation (don’t know if I’ll make it temp or permanent,) but, I feel that in the time we get one function working, they get three working…

    Not trying to be pessimistic, but it’s true.

    • They have all that? Where did you hear that?

    • He is correct…I dont think you should have posted this Mator, but what he is saying is true… All of those LU enemy test and LUNi server progress videos were done by Darwin… Ldcr and humanoid24 are swamped with work, but Darwin is till developing.
      The only thing they havent done is enemies and building… NPCs quests… World travel, char customization… That is all done.

      But you didnt hear this from me 🙂

    • The LUNI Devs got RM? Who said that? Do You have contact to them? Please answer as fast as possible!
      -bluebrain

      • Yes. The only thing left is stable enemies and building.
        The are nor releasing the source until later. Not sure how long it will be until they are done…

        • That sounds great! So, only enemies and building, shouldn’t be too complicated. So we will get LU back? Thats 100%ly sure now? Yay! It’s the best day of my life! (Even if my LUNIbundle will be useless probably…)
          This two features will not take longer than two years (don’t think that a Dev who made so much progress needs longer) Am I right with this?

          What do you mean by “LU enemy test and LUNi server progress videos”? The only enemy test I found is by Neal Spellman. Is he Darwin???

          😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 (First time using this smiley in my life)

          -bluebrain

        • They won’t release files – LU will die again. 100% confirmed.

        • But when they are done, he will release it?

  23. Tim… Will you please erase my above comments… I was not supposed to have posted that…

    • Why you wasn’t?…
      You did a good job, because i wasted 1 YEAR TO BE HERE, AND AFTER 1 YEAR, YOU SAID THIS PROJECT WON’T BE “SUCCESSFULL”? (Exactly, you didn’t said that, but we know what you mean’t… )
      Ehh.. 🙁

    • You need to quit posting on this forum. All you are doing is spreading lies.

  24. Hey Tim, and “your Team”.
    Why guys you didn’t tell us that, they are already done with that!?
    Always when i posted the links to here, you Tim, and other guys, said it is a Fake..
    Lol.. That mean LU won’t be back.. Because.. They will release “their server”.
    They won’t release files. That means we MUST play on their server. If their server die, we won’t play LU again..

    Why you didn’t tell us that? I am here for 1 year, and i was hoping this project will be successfull.. I was wrong 🙁

    • Because Tim didn’t know that… Only a few of us actually know about that….

    • Tim doesnt and wasnt supposed to know about this…
      And dude, what is with your bad attitude? They are releasing files in about a month…

      • WHAT!?!?!?
        OMG!!!!!
        They would release files!?
        LOOOOOOL.
        I THOUGHT THEY WILL OPEN THEIR OWN SERVER, AND WON’T SHARE THE FILES!

        Oh my god.. I am so sorry CDFalcon :/

  25. So.. There’s no reason to stay here anymore?

  26. Umm…@pwjones? I am not lying…
    Ask Darwin. Caboose has beta tested the server, I have seen gameplay, ect ect ect…

  27. Sorry everyone, for that bad attidute!
    But i thought, those guys won’t release server files. I thought they will open their own server!

    I AM SO SORRY!

  28. If you want proof pwjones, Darwin should be opening up another test server this weekend. So you can join that.

  29. Also, nothing I am saying about the release date is for certain.. But they will release it.

  30. Here you guys go. I think you have seen this but yea. Also, all of those videos posted by Neal are from Darwin…
    https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHBDVXPSlb8
    This is outdated. I will try to find all of the screen shots and stuff.

    • But April fools day? In disguise o_O?
      Was this private for a big happy surprise or just being selfish?

  31. HappyAngryCatfish April 23, 2015 @ 9:47 AM

    They aren’t releasing it and and why can’t people keep their mouths shut?

  32. HappyAngryCatfish April 23, 2015 @ 10:02 AM

    No I am telling you. He isn’t releasing this and I KNKW this I don’t know why CDF and mater are being jerks. But I am TELLING you it isn’t going to be released in a month and they DONT have RM working. They are spreading lies and I don’t know why.

  33. Okay, listen everyone.
    What Mator told you was NOT supposed to be public.
    This was classified info, and needs to be deleted. Tim is going to delete these comments, but until then, please forget all of this!

  34. Guys, You need to get official, You cant just be talking on a forum page: You sometimes miss important messages from people etc and its just not reliable, What i would say is create either a private forum and or a skype group
    Because it will help the development allot, i think,
    please just take my advice!

  35. Hey everyone. Darwin here.
    I wanted to set a few things right.

    -I don’t work with humanoid or lcdr. I talk to them from time to time, but I don’t work with them. I work SOLO on a project I called “DLU”.
    -I don’t have missions or RM working. I only said that I was working on trying to get them to work.
    -The videos Neal posted are sometimes stuff I did for fun last year with LUNI. I assure you, lu enemytest is a fake I made by accident but Neal and I thought it’d be funny as a prank video.

    I don’t know if any other questions need to be answered, but if you have any, please comment and I’ll reply when I have time.

    -Darwin

  36. HappyAngryCatfish April 23, 2015 @ 11:40 AM

    Darwin has a post explaining stuff in pending.

  37. When I start the server and everything it all works until I make a character and launch the game, it just hangs at going to the explorer.

    • That’s because playing as your own minifigure, is not available yet.
      They’re working at it.

  38. I was for a long time not active.
    so, is there any new progress in the project or are we standig by 0.6?

    —————————————————————————-
    I have the badest english of all time 😀

  39. Luni breakup ;(

  40. What’s going on here? I’ve just were away for around 4 days. But now it seems to become a new split.
    @CDFalcon
    Why can’t people know of this? I thought this project is OPEN SOURCE! And if the community doesn’t know anything, people wouldn’t be interested in this project. If Darwin releases his software, it would be great. Otherwise he won’t, then we must develop further as normal.
    @mater06
    Why do you quit because of slow progress? I would be proud of me if I could help bring back my favorite game. Please, don’t just leave here.

  41. Guys we need to stop a war on this site. All I need is a reply saying the truth. If you don’t say the truth all are great times talking on this site, GONE and you will probibsly be selfish! If you tell the truth even if you waned it for yourselves or waned to develop it and release it when your done, you will not be known as liars. You would still be known as the good guys if you just tell the truth.
    Pease tell us.

    AND PEOPLE don’t get mad if the truth is not the best! At least they would tell us and there bringing LU Back! That’s why we’re here.

  42. Also everyone, I am sorry about panicking when Mater released that info. I did not know what to do Bc that was supposed to stay under raps until much later. If I didn’t respond to people I am sorry.

    Also, Mater… Not sure if you are reading this, but I don’t blame you for releasing that info. I don’t think you knew that no one was supposed to know until the source was done. Also I apologized if I came off rude.

  43. JonnyDanger327 April 23, 2015 @ 5:28 PM

    Ok im officially confused…where is the info regarding the release in a month? Who are the other LUNI devs who are farther than this site? As far as I can find, you guys are the closest!?!?!? Or im a wrong? I would love to play this game in a month. And it would be made a lot faster if everyone grouped up! Im mean seriously, whats the point of having one game across a wide set of clients and servers. I dont plan to ditch you guys though. I just need the site that everyone keeps talking about thatr supposedly says i can play LU again much sooner than this site plans to put it out.

    • ok just wait a month and if an extra week passes with no new LU ask questions.
      DatZ my advice. 🙂

  44. Sooooo. What are we supposed to do when a improved one is on our way? Um I guess I can just ask this:
    How has everybody’s day been? 🙂

    Lego king
    Sentinel veteran and 10,000th commenter

  45. Sorry, I was NEVER going to tell about DLU, I was talking about LUNI! I don’t EXACTLY know what there up to, I am just picking up random things all over!

    I didn’t know it would cause this much turmoil! My post was more on how I was not developing, and the stuff about LUNI? How do I know? Random vids on YouTube, stuff pwjones has said, Plus, they aren’t coming to this site, what hurts users from knowing what LUNI is doing? I mean, the users might get really excited, but they can’t magically find the LUNI Devs and start asking questions! That is what alot of us are here for! Answering questions!

    I am again sorry, if I knew this would have happened, I would have not posted anything, sorry darwin, CDF, Tim, etc., etc.,

    And users on the site, (Rabbit21, Lego King, etc.,) all we can do is:

    Be paitent, LU is coming soon, we just need to wait for it to finish.

    I hope everyone can forgive me, and forget about what I have done, can’t we just all be LEGO Friends? (Sorry ’bout that joke too…)

    It is true though, I am ending my job as a dev, as of today I am stopping, I mean, the devs can do more for us and all we need to do is be paitent…

    Anyway, don’t forget what we’re here to do:

    Answer the call, Save imagination!

    Thanks 🙂

  46. Oh ya i neet to tell you guys i am in development of the app for LUNI and side projects soon DLU (whatever that is 😛 )
    so this is my plans
    These will be in the app (it will be on iPhone, android, and windows phone):
    a place to comment on these sites: timtech’s, luhub, and the wikis
    developers page (Who are the Devs)
    Faq
    youtube tutorials for LU
    Poll section
    List of versions and other files of LU
    Alanzote’s LU game

    Anything else?

    Lego king
    Sentinel veteran and 10,000th commenter

    P.S. Next week I will OFFICIALLY (no messed up links) release LU time capsule 0.5 on my dropbox

  47. I apologize for any inconvenience.
    no files will be released in a month.
    It is NOT open-source nor does Darwin want it to be.
    Darwin is the one and only developer and he’s made amazing progress.
    I was privileged to test it. It’s truly beautiful.
    Darwin would only possibly release it if it were done.
    if you have any more questions comment below or email me at thecreepytrollson@gmail.com

    • Thanks for telling the REAL truth. Thats all I need. 🙂

  48. Guys any progress on Lego Universe I got Ungrounded thats why I wasnt on lately. I got grounded for 1 B and all A’s so any good progress happen??

  49. Umm… What happened? I leave for a DAY with a peaceful site and I return to see the entire community in an uproar about some secret project, Lego universe in a month, pwjones trying to calm people down, some new talk about Darwin, something about RM working and then it not working yet, unsure posts, references to (most likely) deleted things…. Just to name a few. What happened? I’m almost 101% (yes, thats 101%) sure we’re not getting LU back anything soon, or the RM.

    Also, hey Darwin! Saw your welcome on IRC… I left my account connected, that’s why I didn’t reply :P. Sorry. Haven’t seen you in a while!

    Answer the Call. Save Imagination.

    • If you could, try to get on Skype around 8-17 hours from when I submitted this post, and send me a message. I have a couple things I would like to discuss that could be helpful.

    • I didn’t delete anything off of here since it turned out not to be confidential… but as a site owner you’re used to this kind of stuff. A PHP plugin broke, Google’s algorithm updated, I got hacked, something else got hacked, something new released, etc.

  50. So is the game only programmed in C++?
