  1. Can you make a tutorial?

  2. Hey Timtech,

    I followed the tutorial to the letter, but when I try to login, the LU client just sits there saying “Submitting Username”. Do you know how to fix this?

    Okay, just to clarify; If I were to follow these instructions to a T, I could host a server?

    • Yes, that is correct 🙂

      • Harry Potterybarn February 9, 2014 @ 2:16 PM

        Awesome. Just before I get started, a few (a lot of) questions;

        1. What are my constraints? I’m aware that only two people is probably the limit for this, but that’s OK, it’s just me and my sis. Can we use different minifig avatars than the set including CheekyMonkey? Alternatively, do we HAVE to use different minifig avatars? I’m aware that travel is impossible, but can the server be switched to support a different map e.g. Gnarled Forest, Crux Prime? If it can, is that a bad idea at this point anyway?

        On the tech side of this business, it’d be stupid to try and run the server and the client on the same computer at the same time, right? Does this take *advanced* C++ know-how, or are these instructions enough?

        I’m sorry if some of the questions are a little n00by, but, to be honest, I’m not an expert in how servers and C++ work. Thanks for taking the time to answer!

        • Yeah, there are lots of constraints right now.

          1. ALL minifigures are pre-configured, and you cannot switch between them.

          2. If you do play together, you may NOT use the same characters. EDIT: No longer needed.

          3. Although travel is impossible, you can currently choose between three worlds: Nimbus Isle, Nimbus Station, and Crux Prime. EDIT: Most worlds can be accessed with modifications.

          4. If your computer can run LEGO Universe, then it can run the server alongside (Macintosh is an exception, as the server is only for Windows).

          5. You can both play off of one server, or you can each have your own. There is really no difference unless you attempt multiplayer (you will not be able to see each other).

          If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

  4. a video would help

  5. Step 3 isn’t a clickable link. I did find this address via Google, but it’s broken: http://sourceforge.net/p/luniserver/svn-repo/HEAD/tree/

    Also, the server setup above is different than the install video. The install video shows server v0.4 on the list, but it’s not there on the website.

    • Note to future readers: Step 3 has changed to a different link that can be clicked and accessed (it is on this website also).

  6. Ok, I did everything in the list except downloading the snapshot from Sourceforge (which is missing). I used the NimbusStation.zip instead, and it looks like the ports are being forwarded correctly, but when I log in (random user/password) it flashes “Enter nickname/password and hit “Sign in” to continue” and brings me back to the login screen. Here are some snapshots: http://imgur.com/kLw9rX6,CXnXZxw#0

  7. Here’s the snapshot of the LUNI Server.exe window. I smudged out real usernames/passwords.

  8. Can’t you compress all your folders and upload it,then almost no steps would be required…

  9. hey timtech so i am confused how do i setup the lego universe luni server i downloaded the luni test v3 but i dont no what to do next i am not a coder so i need help.plz help.thankyou

  10. inventorman101 March 8, 2014 @ 6:33 PM

    I have an error when starting the LUNI Server.exe file. It says it is missing MSVCP120D.dll I am not sure why. First it said I was missing libmysql.dll but I added it to the Path. I cannot even find the MSVCP120D.dll. I would really appreciate any help you could give me. Thank you.

  11. inventorman101 March 11, 2014 @ 6:06 PM

    I have a server setup and running but when it starts and I login and choose a character. The server returns an error.

    Here is the Stack Trace

    world started! Listening on: 2003
    characters started! Listening on: 2002
    auth started! Listening on: 1001

    Auth is receiving a new connection…

    1 Logged-in

    Characters is receiving a new connection…

    Character logging in world with id: 2444680020 monkeybrown!

    World is receiving a new connection…

    World Error: can’t load char_aw2.bin

  12. Is normal that installing Visual Studio 2013 Express for Desktop take much time?

  13. got a small problem…
    I cant register a account over the cmd, when i type in register -> then the username behinde it, its comes to a crash….

    • You just type register; then, it will prompt you for a username and password.

      • Can you make a new video tutorial, i think that my problem is, but i am not sure ( server says sql is off (deactivated with #define LUNI_NO_AUTH) ) but he give me a fail and redirected me to mysql) without register its says at login (ports are forwarded) “Submitting Username”

  14. can you make a video

  15. i have windows vista i cant get visual studio what do i do can some one please give me a download link to a debugged file

  16. libmysql.dll is missing…

    • You need to have Visual Studio Express 2013 installed for it to work

      • Additionally, even though libmysql.dll is included in the server, your system may not detect it. Try moving it to any directory in your %PATH% environmental variable (e.g. C:\Windows\System32).

  17. When i click local debugger on the ver 4 sever i get libmysql.dll is missing, this is with VS Express 2013 installed and running do i need to have the server or the client in a specific folder ?

    • libmysql.dll should be in the same directory as the server. If this does not work, copy it to C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32 or any other folder in your %PATH% environmental variable.

      • Ok now im one step closer now. now when it runs the cmd come’s up but it says
        “Initializing LUNI test server”
        “Loaded config”
        “Terminated Unable to connect to database !”

        Thanks for a the help thus far.

        • Remember, XAMPP has to be running with both Apache and MySQL started, and the database loaded with the name “luni”.

          • What exactly does that mean? I’m not exactly a programmer, so I had no idea what you just said. Also could you add Nimbus Station to V0.5?

          • Nimbus Station is in 0.5… also, did you follow the tutorial and install XAMPP?

            It’s not needed anymore, however, and you don’t need XAMPP or SQL databases to run the current 0.5.

  18. triggerhappy552 March 30, 2014 @ 10:36 PM

    do you think this could be easier to set up? that or everything is ready to be used?

  19. Help! Im not super good at this, and when i launch the server its says “termanated cannot connect to database.” and i followed all the instructions! please help!

  20. and im useing luni server v3 because recomended download is deleted

  21. I have xampp now how do i use it

  22. So i dont do databasing, and wonder if that is what i need to have. 🙁
    (i cant connect to youre server, maby its in a different time zone!)
    Is there a database tutorial?

  23. my lego universe is working but it does not work the ip please tell me what to do to work,when i clic to play on a minifofure it is runing til 35% i dont konw why but please tell me

  24. Hey, I have a quick question for you. I was looking through your LU videos showcasing the server and such, and noticed an absence of baddies. Is this something that can be fixed? Or is it not possible to have enemies to fight. I also wanted to know if it is possible to eventually be able to create and keep your own minifigure to play as in the game.

    Thanks for all your hard work so far.

    • Baddies? The far future, maybe. No one really knows…

      The permanent character creation is one of the next things that will be added, but an ETA is not available.

  25. SUtil cannot be opened (says the debug console) I’m now on V5

  26. I can’t install VS Express 2013, will the 2012 version work?

  27. Hey! Great job. One problem though. Whenever I try to connect to the public server, it says to try again later. How can i fix this? Also, whenever i make my own server it works with CheekyMonkey , but with the others it says this:
    Client disconnected
    connection failed
    downloading manifest assets.

    How Can I fix this?
    Thanks!

    • The problem with client disconnections is caused by missing .pk files. Make sure you have the full, recommended client; you must also have PATCHSERVERIP=0:cache.legouniverse.com

  28. I really want to become a mythran plz! I love LU!

    • Chris, what exactly did Mythrans do? I never found that out…..

      • Mythrans were the Moderators/Admins in LEGO Universe. You cannot “become a Mythran”.

        • Well, you could if this server was complete 🙂

          • Well, you can if you d0 a model swap in the client lol

          • When the server complete, (possibly next year, maybe summer). Everything will be implemented to the game and steps 1,2 and 3 (LUHub, Dev Progress, shows what the Devs done and what needs to be implemented). So, those steps completed (hopefully Summer 2015, so it will be singleplayer but for now until….).

            Multiplayer will be carry on working from Summer to late 2015/Early 2016.

            First Stable Build: To test out LU (when everything from the DEV Progress, LU Hub, completed. People can test out to play LU (if they subcribed the newsletter, they get notified). Singleplayer but it will be singleplayer till Multiplayer comes out. So, LU will be almost complete next year.

          • After that, We can have Mythrans!

  29. Do you currently expanding the server so that it works as before with its own user data. And why are you trying to request data from Lego to not the server data and the user.

  30. is there anyway to play this on the mac if so could you please make a tutorial?

  31. Great Job Timetech 🙂

    Had a little problems to get the sql running but if i change
    one line in your sourcecode it works … love to see nimbus again 🙂

  32. LEGO Universe Phanatic May 15, 2014 @ 8:30 PM

    Please make a tutorial up to date including the port forwarding and opening ports!!!! This is amazing!!!!

  33. SoulGamerStudio May 20, 2014 @ 4:07 AM

    Hey I just wanted to thank you for bringing this game back 😉

  34. I cant install VS Express 2013 will the 2012 version work

  35. Timtech can you tell me where are the ports ???
    I cant find them

  36. V.04 doesn’t work. It says “libmysql.dll is missing from your computer.”
    ):

    • Move it into one of the folders in your %PATH% environmental variable. (C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32 should work).

  37. Do I already have to have the game downloaded, or do you have the download for the game as well?

  38. how do i get to “config.ini”?

  39. I need help, I can’t get to Nimbus Station, or through the login

  40. Hi, I felt great seeing LU again and I wanted to know how you change worlds and was wondering if you could make it possible to play on all characters besides just cheeky monkey, whenever I try to play as another minifigure it goes back to the login screen. And also a few bugs, I cant change clothes and when I browse models in my backpack it crashes and goes back to the login screen. Please Fix It. Thanks.

  41. i get to the login screen but it says waiting for authentication and it says “could not connectto lego universe.” I heard that you had to check if the server was up, but when i go to the link i dont see if its up or not. Pleease Help Me!…

  42. Jeooooooooffff July 6, 2014 @ 12:35 PM

    how do i do step 4 as it comes up as an error when i open it in visual studio, i’ve got the server stored in my downloads. is this a problem

  43. Would it be possible to make a singleplayer mode with NPCs, baddies and missions? I would be really greatful if everyone was able to play and rank up to level 45 just like when LU was still alive, except they’d be alone. Would that be possible? Plz reply.

    BTW, I own a Mac so I cant play on these servers. I have to wait to play ’til I can afford a Windows laptop T_T

    • No, nothing of the sort is possible. By the way, you’re not missing too much on the account of your Mac. It’s mainly just the ability to explore certain maps.

  44. Help me please! I followed the tutorial but when i try to play the world don’t load!

  45. Mysql disabled? why?
    world started
    autch started
    charachters started
    and i have Microsoft visual c++ 2013
    and i write the console eg: register -> username: ****** okay—> debug error

    • In LUNI Server\Common.h, you must change this line…

      #define LUNI_NO_AUTH //no user authetication with mysql

      …to this line:

      //#define LUNI_NO_AUTH //no user authetication with mysql

      Using Visual Studio to edit the file is preferred. After you do so, use Visual Studio 2013 or later to re-compile the server.

  46. Hello! I’m having trouble with the 4th step. I launched the LUNI server in luniserver\LUNI Server\Debug\LUNI Server.exe but it doesnt happen anything only come up a cmd window and there says Debug is ON! and then something about minifig size and some data in bytes. and the Charaters started and world started and auth started. What should I next do? and when I open the luniserver\LUNI Server\LUNI server.sln and it opens up. then in the right opens up a window with Project workspace:
    LUNI Server(not compatible) and RakNet(not compatible) and SUtil(not compatible) and when I click on the arrows there is Not installed. What should I do?? Thanx for reading.

    • That’s all you have to do; you can now connect with the LEGO Universe client.

      • Could u build in the missions again and somehow connection from a world to a other one plss. And yea it really works. plss but its really boring that I cant make a new char.

      • Could u make more updates because I want to make a new character and Missions could be pretty cool. Thanx for readin!

  47. Well i opened legouniverse.exe and i choosed crux prime(btw i used server v.3)and it stucks on 35% do i need to wait or what?

    Please help timtech!

  48. I did everything and i opened game and i cant play missions, cant view inbox,cant travel so please fix it i cant wait!

  49. MrSecretMansion July 31, 2014 @ 5:44 PM

    It lets me get to the login screen and character selection but after I choose a character it goes back to login if i try a second time it says “Client Disconnected Loading manifest Assets”.

  50. nvermind what does this mean in the build? [Unhandled exception at 0x0118D34B in LUNI Server.exe: 0xC0000094: Integer division by zero.]
