How do I get a server emulator?
We will update this information at that point. Until then, you may be interested in setting up Uchu:
- - Download Uchu-Tool and extract the zip file
- - Run Uchu.Tool.exe. Wait for it to download and start Uchu. This tool will also automatically check for and install updates when you run it.
- - Download the Network Protocol mod and extract it into your LU client folder. Make sure the mods folder is in the same folder as legouniverse.exe.
- - Open the boot.cfg in the LEGO Universe Client folder and change AUTHSERVERIP to read
AUTHSERVERIP=0:localhost, (this may already be the case depending on the client)
