I'm currently porting GooTool to Mac OS X. However, for some reason Apple have decided to make Java 1.6 available only for 64-bit Intel Macs.
Backporting GooTool to Java 1.5 is going to be rather a pain, so I'm doing a quick survey to see what types of Mac people actually use. If you have a Mac, please vote over here.

I just found myself able to discern what that sign said. Heh.

For the adventurous of spirit SoyLatte1.0 is out and ready to provide Java6 to macs. I got Gootool running in the X11 mac thing using the linux version.
I don't think it's possible to actually use the linux gootool for mac goo (quoth the raven, "data not block size aligned"), perhaps it would be a quick fix to get this working? If you'd like any help do let me know. (I'd be happy to sign a non-disclosure or what-not).

98% of the teen population believes those "98% of ... if you are one of the 2% who don't copy this into your sig" sigs. copy and paste this into your sig if you are one of the 2% who don't believe them.

I've backported to Java 1.5 so it'll be available for older Macs after all. It's nearly ready for release but I need some help testing:
I think I've sorted out the image encoding/decoding, but I no longer have access to a proper Mac so I can't test it in-game.
Can someone with a Mac please do the following:
1. right click World of Goo, "Show Package Contents", go inside to the Contents\Resources\game\res\levels\EconomicDivide directory
2. delete the two cliff_left/right png.binltl files (or move them elsewhere)
3. run World of Goo, go to chapter 1, "Small Divide" level. It should either crash, or the cliffs should be invisible. This confirms you got rid of those two files correctly.
4. download mactest.zip which contains two replacement cliff files, move them into this EconomicDivide directory
5. run World of Goo again, go to "Small Divide" again, and fingers crossed you should see the cliffs correctly again without any graphical glitches.
Post a reply here if it works so we don't have loads of people spending time on this.
Thanks!
