LEGO® Universe

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.

    Hey Tim, I like how you are trying to bring back this game, but I would like to ask how progress is coming?

    • Timtech July 4, 2015 @ 9:02 AM

      Well, if you look for actual server advancements, you’ll see very little beyond March 2014. However, we’ve had all sorts of stuff go on. You’ll hear about developments a lot, too 🙂 Alanzote’s been pushing a lot of stuff to his remake, LEGO Universe Rebuild, which you can take a look at. I bought server hosting only to find out the current version of the LUNIServer is bugged. The bug request on GitHub did not get any attention, so it’s kind of a bummer, especially for the one who went through all the trouble to get it running.

  4. jonnylegoboy911 July 4, 2015 @ 9:50 AM

    little progress? That’s unfortunate. I know my fig is being recreated though. XD

  5. CDFalcon July 4, 2015 @ 3:24 PM

    Hey Tim, for your server try using 5.0 with MySQL. That worked for me. And you really don’t loss many features.

    • Timtech July 4, 2015 @ 6:07 PM

      Well, we were planning on char creation, but I guess that’s what we’ll do.

      • Pirateronin July 6, 2015 @ 4:52 PM

        Does this mean that character creation will be pushed towards the end of the list, or that character creation will be abandoned until further notice?

        • Timtech July 6, 2015 @ 7:30 PM

          It’s working, but my reply was talking about my attempt to get public hosting for the server 0.6.1, which for some reason gets stuck at “Submitting Username”.

  6. massigest July 4, 2015 @ 4:55 PM

    Hey peeps, i noticed some time ago that the luhub(like an informationpoint about lego universe 2015 and stuff, maybe you know it) webstite was unavailable.
    maybe someone knows something about it because i still havent seen it online.
    hopefully someone has some info regarding that.

    • Timtech July 4, 2015 @ 6:05 PM

      Well, I know that’s NyJan’s site. Let’s see:

      – he still has the hosting up, but has disabled the DNS for luhub.com
      – he still owns the domain name

      I figure he just took it down for some reason. He might have moved on. Too bad, he was really smart 🙂

  7. caboose1543 July 4, 2015 @ 6:52 PM

    like we said previously. Anyone who has a Skype can be added to our conversation. The progress the devs make will be nothing of a secret. We’re even making a website 😀

    • mater06 July 5, 2015 @ 9:08 AM

      Yes, we reveal everything! Unlike LUNI, everything will be managed by us! We’ll have total control about how the project goes. And since we have experience from LUNI, we’ll be able to make progress faster!

  8. Alexl2005 July 4, 2015 @ 8:14 PM

    Could i be add my skype is alexl20053

  9. airplane1717 July 5, 2015 @ 11:40 AM

    And austine if you just can’t do whatever good to the project, learn c++ and come back show us the project you made.
    If you can’t do it get the heck out of this project.
    Or stop whinning.
    Don’t whine to other people about things that you can’t do.

    • airplane1717 July 5, 2015 @ 7:04 PM

      *progress not project

    • Austin4606 July 7, 2015 @ 12:01 AM

      By the lack of being able to even pronounce my name i highly doubt you even know C++ yourself.

      And i’m not whining about what i CAN’T do, i’m just frustrated over the lack of cooperation between the community. There’s an very obvious bias towards LUNI now for reasons i’m not aware of and that’s caused sort of a bump.

      • airplane1717 July 7, 2015 @ 1:01 AM

        Even if I can’t really pronounce your name properly it doesn’t mean I am not learning c++.

  10. HyperiorV July 5, 2015 @ 6:11 PM

    I haven’t visited this site for a while and I’m really confused about the “Lego Universe Rebuild”. Is it the same project you’re working on? (If so congrats on getting so much progress done).

    • Timtech July 5, 2015 @ 8:24 PM

      LEGO Universe Rebuild is a separate project from LUNI. It is developed by Alanzote and is a remake of LEGO Universe, whereas the LUNI server is an attempt to re-create the original LEGO Universe servers.

  11. DoctorBlackThorn July 6, 2015 @ 5:33 AM

    Could someone tell me if i have to download stuff the the luni server?

    • Timtech July 6, 2015 @ 7:26 AM

      Are you asking what things you need to download other than the LUNI server? If so, you’ll just want the recommended client to be able to interact with the server.

  13. Steve July 7, 2015 @ 1:09 PM

    I love seeing this game being recreated and this very dedicated fanbase, but none of these projects are private servers, just emulators. Does anybody have any of the code decompiled or anything so people can make more progress?

    • Timtech July 7, 2015 @ 2:17 PM

      Well we have this code, the problem is that the old developers left and the newer developers are now doing their deals in private, so there’s no one left to continue the code.

    • caboose1543 July 8, 2015 @ 10:58 AM

      Hi. We’re still continuing the code and we’ve opened our doors to anyone with a Skype. We’re just not continuing it here.

  14. HappyAngryCatfish July 8, 2015 @ 12:24 AM

    Having fun censoring all my posts Tim?

  15. airplane1717 July 8, 2015 @ 10:21 AM

    Timtech I know you are not uploding caboose’s
    post. Please uplode it.
    I thought you said you don’t censor appropriate comment.
    Was it a lie?
    If not please uplode it.

    • airplane1717 July 8, 2015 @ 10:24 AM

      Not caboose but Catfish.
      I accidentally did that :/

    • Timtech July 8, 2015 @ 3:55 PM

      I don’t censor any posts. The problem is, he is banned and trying to evade the block to comment here still. Comments from those who are banned do not pass the filters. I removed him from this site since he blocked me from the Steam group, which he did even though I was admin (because I didn’t found the group). I will stick to my site, and he can stay with his.

  16. caboose1543 July 8, 2015 @ 11:02 AM

    If you guys want to know of any progress just add me on skype and you’ll be added to the group. We’re making a new website and hosting the original LU client and the newest server software. I seriously push you to join. Thanks and I hope to see you in the group.

  17. Alanzote July 8, 2015 @ 3:09 PM

    I was unpaking some LU Sound Files, and I found an Old ( Really Old, I don’t know if this is Alpha or Beta thing ) music file:
    It’s Called: LUMX_NIMBUSPLAZA.mp3
    ( This is just 1 of 20 lost sounds )
    https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3qsBtBcBR0iTjlNYlZzR3Y3MU0/view?usp=sharing
    Can someone remember this music?

  18. airplane1717 July 9, 2015 @ 10:56 AM

    HappyAngrCatfish said
    So first off I found myself what seemed to be unbanned for a while Tim yet now you have a change of heart? Hmm. You seem to try to justify my banning you from the steam group for some reason. Except for the fact I had reason and you don’t. This is a good look at Tim’s form of justice folks

    • BackSun July 10, 2015 @ 12:04 AM

      Before you read this I am not taking a side in any argument.

      Can we stop worring about who said what and who did this and just worry about making a working game?
      If this keeps up nothing will happen and then we will be right back to where we started years ago.

      • airplane1717 July 10, 2015 @ 2:24 PM

        Progress on here will never happen.
        I can promise you that the new group has progress.
        Look up for the comment by caboose.

    • Timtech July 10, 2015 @ 7:45 AM

      I told you he is banned, since he was being rude to new users and because he also banned me from the steam group for this project.

      And what, why did you ban me either? For not helping enough? O_o

      • Self-Styled Mythran July 10, 2015 @ 11:44 AM

        The Steam group isn’t active anymore. We wanted to have a central community hub so we took down everything except the GitHub and are creating a new site at the moment.

        ~ Jonny aka joni2012

      • airplane1717 July 10, 2015 @ 2:26 PM

        For hosting a pirated software. Tim, it seems that you still don’t understand what you have done.

        • Timtech July 10, 2015 @ 4:28 PM

          So I’ve hosted and worked with quite a bit (no pun intended) of shady cracked software… does that mean I’m not also spending time on this project? No.

          • airplane1717 July 10, 2015 @ 9:27 PM

            So, can you tell me who has catfish been rude to?
            If it’s austin
            why wasn’t he also banned?
            And by the view of a 3rd person’s view
            I think you banned catfish just because he banned you from steam group.
            And he banned you for a reason.
            You are not apologizing for pirating a game and uploding it to this project.

          • Timtech July 11, 2015 @ 1:46 PM

            Let’s see, other than Austin also startreklover and that other new guy that only posted once and now he’s gone. On top of that, he removed me from the Steam group for something totally unrelated to this project.

            Just because I do shady stuff elsewhere doesn’t mean that I’m not contributing to the project 😉

    ***that you are exepting people who know *** [censored] im really tired but ya if thats still going on id love to help

  22. eueupingu98 July 11, 2015 @ 11:35 AM

    Hi! It’s been a long time since I’ve looked at this project. Is this project still moving foward? Will we have a new update soon?

    • Timtech July 11, 2015 @ 1:22 PM

      There has been no progress lately, and I don’t know of any advancements. There are some situations with people moving away to do work separately, and there aren’t any updates scheduled soon or even anytime at all.

  23. xXLegoCrafterXx July 11, 2015 @ 6:27 PM

    it’s been a while so…. what did i missed? is a luni server running?

    • MrYorky July 11, 2015 @ 8:03 PM

      I’ll put it simply for you: no, the LUNI server is not running. You didn’t miss much in the way of development at all.

    • airplane1717 July 11, 2015 @ 10:41 PM

    Timtech you seems to have deleted my comment.
    Please re upload it.

    • Timtech July 12, 2015 @ 8:49 AM

      You are trying to speak for catfish even though he is banned here… if there is some development place somewhere else tell him to go there and help them because I don’t think he can help us in this situation anyway.

  26. Arkannix July 12, 2015 @ 10:03 AM

    So what is going on with this project? Seems confusing.

    • Timtech July 12, 2015 @ 1:41 PM

      Confusing is right – I really dunno. A bunch of people left and not much is happening.

      • Pirateronin July 13, 2015 @ 1:37 PM

        I know someone who is interested in participating, and has studied C++, but I’m not quite sure where to direct them to. Tim, is LUSS the main project?

        • Timtech July 13, 2015 @ 10:09 PM

          LUSS is a concept. I’d point them to Jon’s GitHub repository (jaller200/LUNIServerProject), which actually has code and some info about developing.

          • airplane1717 July 16, 2015 @ 8:31 AM

            LUSS is not a consept. If you are not in LUSS don’t talk as if you know about it. LUSS is a project started free from this mess you made.

          • Timtech July 16, 2015 @ 10:49 PM

            Okay, show anything that proves this something legit? I can make a name up just like you, and changing the name of this project isn’t going to magically improve it somehow. Besides, I at least tried to help this project.

        • caboose1543 July 14, 2015 @ 9:19 AM

          Again we have a Skype group. The Git is dead. Send me an email at thecreepytrollson@gmail.com

          • airplane1717 July 17, 2015 @ 8:32 AM

            Lol You tried to help? If you wanted to help you shoudn’t have uploaded the pirated files. And you shoudn’t have
            moved this project to your little site, if it was still at sourceforge we would have full LU or atleast devs like Darwin, LCDR and humanoid. And we are making progress with a full client and a
            in-dev server.

    • airplane1717 July 13, 2015 @ 3:00 AM

      Many people leaved this site because of Timtech uploading pirated softwares.
      You can join by giving us your skype name. And btw timtech still doesn’t know what have he done.

      • Timtech July 13, 2015 @ 10:04 PM

        You are like the media ranting all of the bad stuff about a politician

        • airplane1717 July 19, 2015 @ 4:35 AM

          If you say that you are a politician, you are a dictator. 😛

          • Timtech July 19, 2015 @ 9:36 AM

            It’s pretty obvious that I’m not a dictator, and that you’re just jealous that I run this site instead of you… go develop the server some more, and then you will be doing more than me.

          • airplane1717 July 20, 2015 @ 11:02 AM

            You did more bad than good thing.
            IT IS obvious that you are a dictator.
            Why the heck will I be jelous about your site? It’s gonna be a wasteland when we are finished with it 😛
            I am mad about the lack of progress since the project moved here.
            And it is finally moved to a better place.
            LUSS is making progress and your site isn’t.
            Thats the fact.

          • Timtech July 20, 2015 @ 11:17 PM

            It is obvious that you are mad. It’s not my fault that there hasn’t been progress for months on end. Why don’t you go to your other project that is “making progress” and stay there? Your insults don’t help here.

  27. ??? July 12, 2015 @ 3:56 PM

  28. ZombiePro July 12, 2015 @ 8:41 PM

    Does anyone know hot to edit their charter in game? If not here is a random idea, make a easy character changer like the easy world changer, just saying 🙂

    • Arkannix July 13, 2015 @ 3:24 PM

      You can if you decompress the World_2a file.

      • ZombiePro July 13, 2015 @ 4:29 PM

        K thanks for telling me, but isn’t there a website with some codes or something like that on it?

        • Timtech July 13, 2015 @ 10:08 PM

          Yeah, a couple comment pages back is Jon’s comment with a link to his very own world_2a.bin decompression script.

          • ZombiePro July 14, 2015 @ 5:54 PM

            I am done with the decompressing process, I just don’t know how to change my character. I’m also pretty sure I need item id’s if you have a link to a tutorial or something on this, please tell me, it would be very useful!

          • Arkannix July 14, 2015 @ 10:03 PM

            Asking a tutorial over the internet like this would be extremely hard. I don’t do YouTube videos because my upload speeds suck. But I’ll give you a bit to work off here. Once the bin is decompressed you add the header to the beginning of the file. (The header you can find in the beginning of the compressed one) basically you will run your game off the decompressed version. If you open it and DO NOT VIEW IT IN HEX you can Ctrl+f and search for the item IDs. Search for whatever CheekyMonkey has equipped and you can change it. Probably rather vague here but now you have something to work off.

  29. Legomarti2503 July 13, 2015 @ 4:58 AM

    These instructions are only for the server?or are for the full game?
    for the full game I have to follow these instructions?
    (http://timtechsoftware.com/?page_id=1932) ?
    does work o win XP?
    thanks

    • Timtech July 13, 2015 @ 10:07 PM

      These are instructions to play the full client on an incomplete server. The other method does not provide an advantage (it is an alternative method of installing the client); it’s mainly for Mac users who can’t do this method.

  31. OldFarmerMan July 17, 2015 @ 5:45 PM

    Howdy folk I was wondering how do I get my lego universe game thing workin. My son used to play it now I wanna try it and I just got my computer thingy workin. I reckon that I have to do something hard to start iy but I dont have computer smarts

    • OldFarmerMan July 17, 2015 @ 7:26 PM

      It said awaiting moderation what that for. Is the FBI stalking me I didnt do anything bad on my computer machine

    • Timtech July 19, 2015 @ 9:39 AM

      Did you follow the tutorial? Just download and extract the client and server, then run the server and then run the client.

  35. Bafflenuuk July 19, 2015 @ 3:16 PM

    Why cant we just take the original files for lego universe and make a sever?
    Why do we have to rebuild the whole game?

  36. Bafflenuuk July 19, 2015 @ 4:11 PM

    Also i wanted to know if i could make a video on the new build?

    • Timtech July 20, 2015 @ 11:12 PM

      Sure! It’s totally fine to make anything (except money) with stuff from this project. It’s free, open-source, and community-driven for a reason.

  37. CDFalcon July 19, 2015 @ 7:47 PM

  39. StreaxZz July 21, 2015 @ 7:07 AM

    So i told a few YouTubers that played lU a lot und uploadet LU vids that its back and i hope they püublish that then we can have thousands more helpers. and i askedd some friends which have servers if they may could give them to you. the servers have 1.3k slots for players and arte fast ! if they say jes u have 4 servers and over 5k slots and mybe some new devolpment helper. if u want i can start a kickstart or find sponsors but i first want to ask 😀 Love u for bringing lu back

  40. anonimus July 21, 2015 @ 10:10 AM

    I downloaded the Nexus 2 client but i can’t extract it, winzip says it is damaged or in a strange format.

    • Timtech July 22, 2015 @ 7:20 AM

      The nexus2.zip should be a pretty big file. Chances are, you got an incomplete download, which happens in some browsers for some reason. Try downloading the file with a different browser.

    Hello guys!
    I have a question for you. What account do i need to play in LUNI 0.61?
    I’ve created a lego.com account, can’t log in.
    Tried this timtech account, can’t log in.
    I’ve missed those days, where LU is online.
    So because of that, i’ve want to try this form of LU.
    Any idea what’s the problem?

    Have a nice day. -Neidra

    • NeidraTokugawa July 22, 2015 @ 12:30 PM

      One more thing, is the server online? If it’s not, then i don’t need any answer. Sorry for my english. 🙂

      • Timtech July 22, 2015 @ 2:55 PM

        How LUNI works is that you need to host your own offline copy of the server. Official LEGO accounts and timtechsoftware.com accounts have no relation to the LUNIServer.

          Aaaand how do i host an offline copy of the server. I’ve just downloaded and started LUNI, that’s what i can only do. 🙂

          • NeidraTokugawa July 22, 2015 @ 3:02 PM

            Ooh, i almost forgot. The nexus2 or “Nexus” client, that’s what i downloaded.

          • Timtech July 22, 2015 @ 3:06 PM

            Okay, I recommend you get the Nexus 2 client and the LUNIServer 0.5.1. Extract them both, run LUNIServer.exe in the server files, and then start the client in the client’s files (client\legouniverse.exe).

            Well TimTech.
            I’ve tried everything.
            Started LUNI Server.exe and then launched legouniverse.exe in my local disk C:.
            Then i’ve typed in my Name, and password, and it keeps say that
            “Sorry
            We could not register you to Lego Universe.
            Please try again in a few minutes.”
            Any suggestion?

            any Login/Password should work for 0.5.1 but for 0.6+ you need to have XAMPP with MySQL database started with the LUNI database on it, then you use a command in the console “register” to register a new user.

    Why did they kill LU in the first place? I remembered sitting down for hours over summer playing this game, and for me it is was the best MMO I have ever played, hands down.

    Need some news about LUNI? Here you have some!

    A “beta version” of the new website is online already. You can find it here:
    http://luserversolution.weebly.com/
    (Pls report every bug you find on the forums)

    Our current goal in development is the dynamic CharData which I already finished in Java. Though I decided to not publish it because it would be pretty complicated to understand the source if the knowledge of C++ and Java is needed.

    Fortunately CDFalcon which is one of our best C++ developers is about to finish it within the official LUNI source.

    On the left hand side we’re recoding the whole server structure to an actual network structure. The new software will be published under the name LUSS which stands for LEGO Universe Server Solution.

    See you on the new website!
