Which language do you use to program this lego game recreation?
C++
coooool
I do it at scool
maibe i’ll be able to help in the future 😀
if necessary
Hope there’ll be a tutorial for the 0.6 version.
Joni’s third-party tutorial can be found here.
Do you know when there will be a fix to fix this freezing issue?
http://gyazo.com/f35f7a6f77e89b7c58500fd819f49086
In 0.3 and 0.6 this is normal. 0.6 is in progress; even though 0.5.1 currently has more features, it is set up in a static way which has to be changed in order to develop it further. 0.6 has paved the way for future developments.
so 0.6 doesnt work yet but it has allowed it so future updates will work correct?
Yes, 0.6.1 may fix it.
how do I login it wont let me in
@KF So long as you are running the server, you should just be able to type in anything in the username/password boxes. You do need to be running the server though.
When i login to lego universe loading is 0%. I wait 10 minutes but this doesn’t work. In console is message: User has 2 number of special itemsChar 1 doesn’t exist yet.
In 0.6 that is normal.
please help wen i open a charecter the the screen turns white and the game restarts
Go to your nexus2/client then open boot.cfg with notepad. Look for PATCHSERVERIP=0:cache.legouniverse.com. Remove the Lego Universe URL and it should work.
wow it works! I am now waiting until there wil be missions and all the worlds!
I don’t want to discourage you, but that will be quite a while, unless the progress we are told about DLU (Darwin’s LEGO universe, Darwin being an ex-dev), is correct, since he won’t release the code for ages still probably.
um i’m trying to play (downloaded the v0.6 version of the server) if i login with my caracter its going to loading screen then the console says: user disconnected from auth server halp pls!
Check out the new LUNI-Bundle, just launch Launch.bat and create an account. Then it should function.
Or, if you are not thinking too much about development, I would recommend 0.5.1, it’s much more stable, there have been multiple glitches with 0.6.1, which you may find annoying.
is there a way to fix when it says, special itemsChar 1 doesn’t exist yet?
Try 0.5.1 or wait till a newer release.
Is there anyway we can get the message to Lego that you guys are rebuilding their first semi-successful MMO? If so, you might get some help from the developers who helped to make the game. I think this may take some of the stress away from you awesome bunch 😀 Thanks for rebuilding my childhood, I really appreciate what you guys (and maybe gals) are doing for us.
They have no interest in us and will NEVER help us as far as I know
I’m doing some work on the legality of it, and exploring a possible deal, but so far, there is basically no chance.
Do you have any ideas on how long it will take until you can interact with NPCs / spawn monsters?
This is hard to say, but maybe around the end of 2015.
haha no not hardly… no devs are actively working here
Is this real download website i dont want to download this and get a virus is this real and does it work for free If you dont have a account. Also can you proof it its not a virus and its really LEGO UNIVERSE my favorite game?
Yes. No viruses.
It’s a shame that people try to destory each other’s computers with viruses. I think a lot of people, at least the ones I speak to on the LEGO Gallery, generally avoided this for fear of that. What a mistake to make.
I know, but I understand their fears. Many sites attempt to get people to download viruses so they can make money.
[censored] people. I wish everyone could be honest with this stuff.
Does Raffa use viruses?
He had a virus in the server code to delete System32, a necessary system folder, and then shut down the computer. Luckily I ran it without administrative privileges, so it failed and I caught it.
Should I download 0.6 or 0.5.1? and please explain how to download Lego Universe i love this game and want to play it what am i suppose to download? Please reply it would truly help.
0.5.1 is easier.
How do i get UAC to stop blocking my Xampp?? Please help me… Any help will be appreciated.
I’d recommend turning off UAC 😉
How do i do that??
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=how+to+turn+off+uac
Never mind
Why does my nexus2.zip file not work for me? Everytime i open it, it says Nexus2.zip: unexpected end of archive. Can anyone please help me?? Any help will greatly appreciated.
What browser did you use? Some of them can’t download large files properly.
Opera
Try Firefox.
can I help you make the game plz.
plz ? plz? plz? plz? plz?
do you know c++ or Raknet? if not then no
If you don’t I would recommend helping out on these forums, give the devs more time to work.
Hi sorry for bothering you again. But when i extract the nexus2 file it claims that file meshenv5.pk is corrupt. what am i supposed to do?
You can download it separately from here:
http://timtechsoftware.com/lu/LEGO%20Universe/Windows/client/res/pack/
Or just re-download the “Nexus 2” client with a different browser.
Can you please make a subscription list? So every time you publish a new version, I am emailed about it. I hate waiting for months, then forgetting about it, and then realizing you came out with a new version months ago. It would really help if you were able to put one together. Thanks! 😀
Sure! I can set up a mailing list. Would you like me to add the e-mail that you are currently posting with?
If you could add mine that would be great! 🙂
Same here! 🙂
Yes, please do!
Ditto here
wen can we play the real game I miss lego universe.
We are working on it!
not really 🙁 Tim just let Darwin finish and hope he releases it.
when I run the Lego universe it is loaded for 10 seconds and crash what to do?
What version are you trying?
So I was just looking up stuff then I found this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVjSg_Xkn4Y Maybe we could try to find this build, or atleast ask the user for it.
It could help us with the NPC’s and stuff.
We’ve already asked him, and he said no.
Is there a specific reason why he said no?
I can’t log in, because it says “We could not sign you in […]”… could somebody please help me? I am using version 0.5.3
I mean version 0.5.1, sorry.
Make sure you’re running the server before you try to log in.
Hi i noticed that the LUNI bundle 0.6 doesn’t contain a sql database file. Is this a mistake?
It should already have been put in phpmyadmin in the Apache docs. That way you don’t need to upload it or anything.
I can not make a lego man in the game.
What version are you using?
Do we need to use the lego id we used before in the original because i dont remember mine
No, any username and password will work with 0.5.1.
im using 0.6
should i switch
You probably should 😉
it keeps saying that it cant log me into lego universe. what should i do
With 0.5.1, run the LUNI Server.exe before logging in.
Is the only way we can compile the server build is to have Visual Studio 2013? Will VS2010 or some other free version work as well? I am interested in visiting some of the other worlds.
Visual Studio 2013 Express for Desktop is free. And you don’t have to compile it if you use a Release version (try 0.5.1 release for world exploring).
So in the release version can I travel to any world? If so do you mind letting me know how? I tried changing the hex settings but it didn’t seem to do anything. I saw somewhere that I need to compile the software but if this is true I am not sure how. I loaded VS2013 and opened the project sln but I can’t seem to build it. I think I have to choose debug settings but I couldn’t find where this is.
Compile to “Debug” and click “Local Windows Debugger” to build it. And the release works too; just edit the world’s char_aw2.bin like it says on the Q&A page.
can I use a pre existing account from old Lego universe on these servers?
You can use any username/password combination in 0.5.1.
And without LEGO’s help, I doubt we will be able to restore your old account anyway.
I may be able to help with programming. But i need a new computer for that… I have a little knowledge of C++
Cool! We could use every developer.
If you’re having any questions, the community could help you for sure.
Be sure you checked out the GitHub repositry here: https://github.com/jaller200/LUNIServerProject .
Ill check it out 🙂
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??
What’s new in 0.6.1?
Trying out 0.6.1 and it still freezes on Venture Explorer loading screen.
I would recommend 0.5.1, 0.6.1 has some issues, it was mostly released as a precursor to future builds, and to aid testing and development.
i need some help For OSX I need a good download link please.

How do you create a character the video doesn’t help and when i try to make a character it takes forever and does not load
Is this via the database, or in game. In game, you can’t play on the characters anyway, I haven’t actually done it myself, but I’d guess that would be your problem, if not, then sorry, I don’t know.
Is there a change log for each update listed?
Yes, http://luni.info/servers/
please a link for 0.6.1
Hi, thanks to everyone for getting Lego Universe back again!
I have everything working (LUNI Bundle 0.6), client updated OK & logged in with luni/luni then created character successfully…. however when clicking on play, it gets stuck loading venture explorer at 0%.
Any tips / ideas what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks.
You didn’t doing something wrong, in 0.6 the world access doesn’t works. If you want to try out all worlds, download 0.5.1. Hope you enjoy LUNI!
Ah OK, thanks… will give 0.5.1 a go.
Assuming this doesn’t require a MySQL database to work.. just run the Server & then Client.
Many Thanks! 🙂
You’re right in your assumption. Enjoy!
On what are you working now?
Currently, we’re working on a functioning account & character creation. In the moment, you can make you own character, but don’t play with it. This is going to be changed next.
So you’re are working on storing the Minifig information on the public server?
So the client is done, but the server files are not right?
Yes and yes.
The client is the original, but the project is in coding a new server. You can still find all the resources in the client, but you would have great difficulty spawning them into the game.
You say this is going to be completely free.
Back when Lego made this, I was a freemium member and could never visit other lands.
I would love the opportunity to take my minifigs to the places I’ve never been before.
So this is my question.
I won’t have to pay for membership, right?
You’re right. It doesn’t matter whether you played paid or not, or even if you played at all.
So, once you’re done, I will be able to use my account that got kicked out the game when my membership ran out?
Only if we succeed in doing a deal with LEGO, currently very unlikely, you would probably have to start afresh. At any rate, you would still be able to chose your old faction: Assembly. 😛
(Well, I’d guess it’s your old faction…)
When will the game be completed becouse i still can’t equip stuff and all that…
It’s really hard to say a date, because we don’t know how many progress the deveolopers will made. But we hope that enemies & NPC’s will be re-added in 2016.
Ohh is very long time
It’s programming, and it’s a large project, without loads of people – It will take ages. LU took ages to make, with loads of programmers working on it, employed by LEGO.
Yes, it’s long. If you want to help, become a developer or tell your friends about LUNI.
When I create a new character and hit play, the loading % stays at 0. Bug, Error, Not Finished? Please help.
What server version? 0.5.1 is most stable right now for exploring worlds.
What’s new in 0.6.1?
Can we use characters yet? :3
You can save+load chars from SQL for charscreen but worlds are still cheekymonkey.
Something interesting happened to me on 0.6.1: I could talk in chat, but my username would show up as Mythran and it would all be square boxes.
Hey dude, i have run into a few problems. First off when i hit go on phpmyadmin this happens, pay attention to how luni shows up then vanishes. http://gyazo.com/79480ccfeed1512c14971783a146e6f7 .
I decided to skip that and see what would happen if I went on. When i tried to launch it this happened. http://gyazo.com/428e71c7922b41919278ef295e276a39 Please help. Lego universe in my opinion is the best game ever made, and i would really like to at least explore the worlds again. thank you.
Okay. Do you have server version 0.5.1? This version allows you to explore all worlds. You don’t need to setup something with phpmyadmin or so, just download it, run the server, run the client and enjoy!
Best of all, you can just use EasyWorldLoader by Jon002 (I think, sorry if I got the name wrong), so you don’t even need to edit the packets, and risk typos (like I did origianally :P).
Found a packet decoder that could help us: http://sadjad.me/phd/
Does anyone know how to edit the models of the game? Im just curious.
1. I don’t know why you want to edit the models of the game. You can’t use them for another game.
2. Please post on the main page. There will questions seen faster.
Use the LEGO Universe PK extractor, in conjunction with NifSkope on the res folder in the client. You can find the animations in the animations folder, and the models in the mesh folder. Certain models are found in different areas, for example, the Ninjago creatures (even including the ones which hadn’t yet been released, such as the bone vulture, the bone beetle, and the underhand), are not found in the creatures folder. However most things have appropriate names, so once you have extracted all the files, it should be quite simple to search for them.
I don’t seem to have launch.bat on my computer anywhere in the files. Can anyone post a link to it here?
If this is for attempting to run LU, I run the server from the debug file, and the client from the files I downloaded. It may be my OS, or me being stupid, but I’m not sure where the launch.bat comes in
When I try to extract the nexus2.zip file it says it cant extract because the file is an unknown format or damaged
What file size is the nexus2.zip you downloaded?
Why does Nexus2 refuse to unzip? I’ve used Chrome AND Firefox, but nothing works. Winrar just keeps displaying an error message upon opening the file. Also, do I need Nexus2 if I have the disk? Can I just use the files on the disk instead?
What file size is the nexus2.zip you downloaded?
I love the cart racing, is that possible?
Is it currently possible to multiplayer?
What is the funding goal for the server? I noticed it was not set up as recurring, doesn’t it need to be? And a Patreon to support these costs may be logical.
Multiplayer is not possible at the moment, the closest thing is multiple people playing off of the same server, but none of the multiplayer features are implemented in this.
Not sure what you mean about the cart racing, and I have no idea about the latter.
My EasyWorldChanger don’ work. I use server version 5.1 . Pls help me 🙁
i know it is way off but when the full game comes out will it simply be download, load, log in , play?
From what I have heard you may still have to host it as a private server, I have been doing some research into the legality, and how we could release it fully, but for now, it looks like the full version would probably be an improved version of what we have now, all features, but still with the same loading system.
I really loved LU but I am wondering, is this project even still being worked on? Also if it is still being updated is it ever going to be like the original LU. I know it would take forever but the wait would be worth it
It would be unlikely to be exactly the same (For example, without doing a deal with LEGO, we are unlikely ever to get holiday worlds), but after a long time, it would be possible to make it very similar. When I say a long time, we are talking certainly several years, there were hundreds of devs on LU, and it still took years then.
