This is a lie? I talked to you but NEVER about player limits. This was with Xiphoseer and Darwin. Proof?????????????????????????????
We were on Skype, it was the group chat with Xiphoseer and Darwin as well (months ago, like I said). If it’s no longer 30-40, what is it now?
TimtechKeymasterTo answer your question, the server was probably full at the time you connected. But please, ask on LUR’s dedicated forums next time.
TimtechKeymasterDon’t worry @happyangrycatfish, I heard all this from Matt himself, but since it was a few months ago I didn’t want to seem like I knew everything about the project, because I obviously don’t.
TimtechKeymasterAs I understand it, the current LUNI code on GitHub is about as far as the developers can get (or want to get) without a physics engine. From what I have heard, DLU has received licenses for the Havok® physics engine and thus can develop the server further. I know that at least one developer (Xiphoseer) has switched over to DLU in order to continue development.
Unfortunately, from what I understand, the use of the Havok physics engine means the server itself cannot be released, neither as source code nor as executables (binaries). This means that, although DLU will offer a much more complete playing experience, it will be limited to a select number of players (30-40 is the current estimate), with no option to self-host a server.
TimtechKeymasterOnly the uncompressed version is 12.5 GB (and even then, only the Nexus 2 client is that large, because I accidentally included some music files twice). So as long as you extract the .zip file first, you should be able to run LU directly by running \client\legouniverse.exe as @kee225 explained.
TimtechKeymasterThere is a hard limit on connections to the LUNI server, but you’ll have to post on Egmo’s forums directly to find out more about how he has things set up. Closing this topic.
TimtechKeymasterYou need to download LEGO Universe (Nexus 2) from https://luniserver.com/download

TimtechKeymasterYou need to download and install python in order to run the script. https://www.python.org/downloads/ Also, not sure why that link isn’t working. I’ll remove it for now.
After you run the script and get the world_2a-decompressed.bin, delete the original (or rename it to world_2a-original.bin). Then, rename world_2a-decompressed.bin to world_2a.bin, and open it with Notepad++’s HEX-Editor plugin, or any other HEX editor of your choice (but since you already have Notepad++, the plugin is probably easiest).

TimtechKeymasterWell, here is Jon’s original comment. I think that after you decompress the bin and rename it back to the original, you can use a hex editor (like the HEX-Editor plugin for Notepad++) to edit the values according to the link I put in my first post.
For reference, here is the python script’s source code. All it is doing is decompressing the zlib compression. It’s meant for world_2a.bin, and you run it like
python ZLIBDec.py "path/to/file.bin"
. All credits go to Jon002.import zlib import sys from glob import glob def zipstreams(filename): """Return all zip streams and their positions in file.""" with open(filename, 'rb') as fh: data = fh.read() i = 0 while i < len(data): try: zo = zlib.decompressobj() yield i, zo.decompress(data[i:]) i += len(data[i:]) - len(zo.unused_data) except zlib.error: i += 1 for filename in sys.argv: print(filename) for i, data in zipstreams(filename): print(i, len(data)) with open(filename + "-decompressed.bin", 'w') as expanded: expanded.write(data)
Jon’s original link to download the script: http://www.mediafire.com/view/vd9t3qfqg0pff0l/ZLIBDec.py

TimtechKeymasterI think it’s “SC_[53-05-00-04] (detailed user info)” on http://luni.info/packets/server/
TimtechKeymasterWell, I’m glad that you got your problems fixed 🙂 in client\boot (or client\boot.cfg with file extensions shown) you can change from
LOCALE=0:de_DE,
toLOCALE=0:en_US,
. There’s video tutorials on the tutorials topic for this as well.TimtechKeymaster@Barc How did you torrent Nexus2? Also, what file does it tell you that you are missing?
First, I would recommend installing these C++ redistributables and see if that fixes the problem.
Alternatively, BlastClient is also in a .zip format here. It seems that the MEGA link is down right now.
TimtechKeymasterI would recommend the LU PK Extractor. It’s on the downloads page. But if you’re only interested in the soundtracks, you can download them from https://luniserver.com/soundtracks/
TimtechKeymasterMake sure you are running a server before you try to connect. Version 0.5.1 accepts any username and password, but for the 0.8 strand you’ll have to use the
register
command on the server’s console. I recommend 0.5.1 to try connecting to first.TimtechKeymasterUnfortunately, the public servers are not ours. I doubt they will be open anytime soon.
К сожалению, государственные серверы не наши. Я сомневаюсь, что они будут открыты в ближайшее время.
