[SIZE=6][B]Creation Lab Retiring (And How to Save Your
Creations!)[/B][/SIZE]
Hi all,
Thursday, on the LEGO Message Boards, the moderator
[B]WhiteAlligator[/B] broke the tragic news to us that the LEGO
Universe Creation Lab is officially retiring. After almost 3
years since LEGO Universe opened, the long lived and loved
creation lab will officially close too, on October 25, 2013.
[B]One[/B] day before the 3 year birthday of LEGO Universe. We
are told that the creation lab is going to be set to read-only
mode for a little while, but we do not know how long before it
officially closes. When LEGO discontinues their other set lines,
it is usually a couple of years before they finally delete the
site to make room for another theme. Well, the closure of the
Creation Lab may just mean the closure of the LEGO Universe
website also.

Goodbye Professor Brickkeeper! We will always remember you in
our hearts…

Fortunately, if you want to save your creations on the creation
lab,

HTML http://systemonbrick.wordpress.com
']Hobino[/URL][/B]
and
HTML [B][URL=http://'
HTML http://triangle717.wordpress.com/']Le717[/URL][/B]<br
/>have written a little tool to help you! The[B] LUCA (LEGO
Universe Creation Lab Archiver)[/B] is a simple tool, that you
download your your Windows or Linux computer (for Mac Users, you
can try to run the program with
HTML [URL=http://'
HTML http://winebottler.kronenberg.org/']WineBottler[/URL]<br
/>or another Windows program emulator) and run the program. All
you have to do is enter your[B] LEGO ID[/B] Username (the one
you sign in with on LEGO.com) and press Enter.
LUCA will automatically save your creations to a folder with
your username[I] in the same place[/I] as the LUCA program. When
you open the folder, there will be a sub-folder for each of your
creations. Once you open one, you will immediately notice the
pictures, videos, and LEGO Digital Designer files from your
creations, with the addition of a few .HTML files. The .HTML
files contain the description, images, tags, and link to your
original creation.

[SIZE=4][B][LEFT][B]NOTES:[/B][/LEFT]
[*][B] [/B]This program will not save comments on creations. You
will have to do that manually if you want them.
[*]AVI and MOV file extensions may be mixed up occasionally
because of different movie codecs. If you cannot play a file,
try renaming it’s extension or playing the file in a software
HTML like [URL=http://'
HTML http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html']VLC<br
/>Media Player[/URL] which does not rely on the file extension.
[*]If you have periods in your username, unfortunately, you will
be unable to download your files. Due the the Creation Lab’s own
search function limitations, LUCA cannot search the username. We
are very sorry about this.
